Description William Jon McCann 2012-08-15 15:06:43 UTC
We should remove the option to open all folders in new windows. This made sense for spatial mode but it doesn't any more. There are still many ways to open folders in new windows as needed.

Remove the open folders in new windows option

This is not something we want to encourage as it basically
breaks the browser model.

Remove always-use-browser option

This isn't necessary since the removal of spatial mode. Having
it as a hidden preference is counterproductive because it may
have been set before and it will silently break the behavior of
the current version.

OK, I think this makes sense without spatial mode.

You removed the always-use-browser option????? I already got a comment yesterday from a friend, that I am trying to convert to linux, about the option being hidden and no way of having a "up a level" button, he said "well, Windows has it, maybe you should switch to Windows". Come on guys, not everyone likes breadcrumbs. It doesn't work well with long names, you can't paste paths, you can't modify paths, etc. I think that having "always-use-browser" and in case it is enabled (I agree it makes no sense w/ breadcrumbs) have an "up one level" button should be a choice the user makes. The up button is needed with the "always-use-browser" option because if you paste a path and want to go up a level, the back arrow don't behave like an up button, the back arrow will take you back to the location before pasting the new location, the up will go up one level from the current location. What are you guys trying to do, sabotage the user experience? Where do you get these ideas from? You should have a visible user input page where you propose these types of things and people can voice their concerns. I know people don't like change, but we also have cases where we use/need something you are trying to remove (like when you wanted to force sleep on laptops when the lid is closed).
