Description jacob berkman 2002-03-11 20:14:21 UTC 
1.  open a nautilus window
2.  in the location bar type 'preferences:///'
3.  drag from the "Location:" label to the desktop (or another window)

nothing happens

i would expect a "link" (launcher or whatever) would be made such that i
click on it and it opens preferences:/// in nautilus.

Really borderline 2.0 thing. Should work for consistency's sake,
though, especially since we are using so many more vfolder-type things
now.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2002-04-15 21:35:05 UTC 
Not sure that 'depends on' is the right relationship here but it's
something to test once that one is fixed.
Comment 3 John Fleck 2003-12-28 17:32:32 UTC 
Still present in 2.4
Comment 4 Denis Jacquerye 2004-09-25 20:53:40 UTC 
Still present in 2.8 when in navigational mode.
Comment 5 Subodh Soni 2005-01-20 10:01:00 UTC 
Still present in 2.9.3 nautilus from gnome CVS HEAD.
Comment 6 Sebastien Bacher 2005-02-11 15:26:56 UTC 
the vfolder support (and preferences:/// which use it) have been dropped for
GNOME 2.10, bug closed.
