GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 704122
Placement of gear button is misleading
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:27:55 UTC
The gear menu is in the attached toolbar. This makes it look like the Search Locations dialog is specific to each application, when it's not - the settings are global for anything using Tracker. My suggestion is to move the gear menu to a button above the list - https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/system-settings/search/search-wires.png
i am new to open source. i want to work on this bug. can anybody guide me?
Doesn't this issue affect just the files search? If yes, preferences for file search should be displayed in the "Files" list entry. This button is expected to configure all search items due to its placement outside of the search plugins list.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
