GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 82707
Nautilus UI Review
Last modified: 2009-03-15 00:56:17 UTC
I'm going to attach a copy of the nautilus ui review that glynn et all did, so that it won't be lost. Sometime in the future i would like to parse through it and open individual bugs, but i don't have time for that now. We need to consider it carefully, some of the suggestions are highly trivial others are more complex, some comments won't apply since some functionality like bookmarks will hopefully be removed in the next major revision of nautilus.
Created attachment 8678 [details] Nautilus ui review
Someone should go through this list, see what still needs to be done, and file bugs. Any takers?
i'll do it...
Any volunteer who is willing to grep through the list? We should really have another UI review in the near future :)
There you go... [comments in brackets] Context Menus - [desktop] Most of it is done, except : inclusion of a "Disk >" menu item in the desktop submenu. However, disks are now in the gtk+ "places" instead, so this suggestion can be discarded. Properties Dialog Done except : Icon preview should be moved down closer to the 'Select Custom Icon...' and 'Remove Custom Icon' buttons. [I'm not even sure this is really useful] Main Window All done except : 'Empty Trash' should only appear in the Trash View Add 'Desktop Preferences' in 'Go' menu ? [I guess this is moot now] Sidebar - All done ! Empty Trash Dialog - Done except : Empty Trash needs icon for 'Empty' button Empty Trash should be non-modal Backgrounds and Emblems Remaining items : Remove bold font from "Patterns:" Tab order is weird (Close before Add) Can't focus icon list with keys, "Patterns" should have mnemonic to allow this Clear History All done, but a new mnemonic clash was introduced (bug #310400). Open With Other Application Open With Other -> Modify not relevant anymore since the Big Mimesystem Update. Edit Bookmarks Dialog - Mostly done, remaining items : s/Name/Name: s/Location/Location: s/Remove/Delete s/Bookmarks/Bookmarks: [added] Need feedback [dialog, status bar] for adding a bookmark Nautilus Preferences - not relevant anymore View Defaults - Relevant bits are in Appearance - no more themes in nautilus Windows - Relevant bits are in Desktop & Trash - Icon & List Views - Icon Captions - Sidebar Panels - Navigation - not relevant anymore Speed Tradeoffs - most of it not relevant anymore, except : s/Local Files Only/Local file only [now in Preferences/Preview] Thumbnail option should use 'Spin' widget [now in Preferences/Preview]
Apparently, this : 'Empty Trash' should only appear in the Trash View was decided against (bug #95116).
All dependency bugs are fixed, hence closing.
