nautilus bookmarks: automatically changing names is annoying
Last modified: 2010-07-21 19:45:54 UTC
In Ubuntu scribe reported: = Steps to reproduce = 1. Open Nautilus 2. Go to Bookmarks -> Edit 3. Click on a bookmark and change it's location = Result = The "Name" field is automatically changed to the last segment in the location. Example: Location: /var/www/public_html Resulting name: public_html = Why it's annoying = I like to store FTP paths as bookmarks, and they all have similar endings: ftp://user@example-1.com/var/www/public_html ftp://user@example-2.com/var/www/public_html So I give them names other than 'public_html', to differentiate them. But, with this feature, every time I edit one of these bookmarks, I have to do at least two extra actions to preserve the old name. I'm pretty sure there are other situations in which this behaviour actually hurts usability. = Proposed solution = Change the name only if the old name matched the old location. Thanks!
