Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2015-11-06 17:04:32 UTC
Similar to bug #754968 but in a different area: when renaming a file, the text entry widget is too narrow. It can barely fit 2-3 words in compact languages like English, so it's more problematic in French, German or Klingon.

I like to be able to see a wider part of the string/sentence when correcting it, to reduce scrolling and have a "context".

Horizontal space is cheap, it's not like our screens are 640x480 these days, so I think we can afford the text entry being ~2x wider than it is in 3.18.1.

toolbar: fix persistent operation popover

The popover was remaining persistent after you clicked
outside of the popover.
We were setting modal false and I guess that was messing up
the gtk popover management.

files-view: adapt rename entry length

We are having some problems given that the rename entry
is kind of small for some file names, and that makes the
rename popover vs inline renaming kind of a problem.
For that, increase the default entry length and adapt
for longer names with a MIN/MAX length.

Could you backport that (and maybe some of the other recent bugfixes) to the stable gnome-3-18 branch as well?

ugh, this was intended for 3.18, not sure how I failed to backport.
I think all the other fixes that can be in 3.18 are there, what do you think is missing?
Comment 9 Carlos Soriano 2015-11-26 10:31:45 UTC
Sebastien, actually the fix is there https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?h=gnome-3-18&id=a5eff664b94e71e1128bc44f165c51f2a325f22e
I remember I actually worked on the 3.18 and then cherry picked to master.
The fixes will be available on 3.18.2

sorry seems like I looked to the history based on an outdated checkout, seems fine indeed, thanks!
