Comparison of menus to access item property dialogs (35.43 KB, image/png)

Comparison of menus to access item property dialogs

While updating the natilus-ideviceinfo module (property dialog extension) for GTK3, I've noticed that the menus for both external drives and gvfs-mount do not show a "Properties" item as in the GTK2 times.

This makes it hard (if not impossible) for a user to reach the nautilus property dialog as the "computer:///" location is not generally known nor accessible easily either.

Usability wise, it might be worth to mention that it appears that the other items in the sidebar all feature a "Properties" menu item already.

I expect that adding the "Properties" menu item for drivers/volumes would fix this ticket.

BUmping as it's still an issue, even with popovers.

Still a problem with the current 3.27.90 nautilus.

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 of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
