GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 780379
Search: "Open Item Location" does not scroll window to show file if it's in the current folder
Last modified: 2017-04-13 15:09:33 UTC
When you perform a search, right-click a given file and choose "Open Item Location", Nautilus navigates to the subfolder the item is located within and scrolls the window so that the file becomes visible in view. However, the window is not scrolled for me if the file happens to be inside the same folder as the one I'm searching from (for example, if I right-click on /home/bastian/foo.png while searching from /home/bastian directory). Instead the window is scrolled to the top which does not help me locate the file in my folder with 2000+ files.
This task is part of gsoc for "Modernize backend and improve developer experience" since one of our core goals for 3.26 (and backport to 3.24) is iron out the search use case of type-ahead.
