GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 617056
non-sensical items in context menu for media icons / inconsistent with "Computer" icons
Last modified: 2012-07-30 14:09:00 UTC
Reported downstream at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/570697 downstream version 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu4 The context menu items available for a media icon on the desktop differ from the ones presented for the icon within the "Desktop" window. In both cases, there are items that do not make sense for the icon in question: * Via "Computer", "Rename..." is offered (but doesn't work) * Via the desktop, "Compress..." is offered (but doesn't work) Interestingly, "Rename..." is present but disabled for the menu via the desktop. So some code somewhere recognises that this menu item makes no sense, and disables it - I wonder why it is not simply removed? The ideal situation would be for the items in the context menu be pertinent to the item in question and consistent between the desktop and the "Computer" window.
(Oh, duplicate bug search attempt terms: nautilus media icon nautilus icon inconsistent inconsistent icon nautilus icon context media icon context )

Moving to correct product, gvfs.
The patch is still valid and would be good to apply. Source is at: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gvfs/tree/daemon/gvfsbackendcomputer.c
