Description He Qiangqiang 2002-08-11 07:51:34 UTC 
built with vbs, 2002-08-09

just as change to "URL:" when user choose "Link" type.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-08-12 15:22:08 UTC 
Probably not quite an easy-fix but borderline.

Comment 3 Stéphane Démurget 2002-10-12 10:22:37 UTC 
In fact, we should do it for every type, but the naming convention
should be proposed by the usability team I think.

Between, this bug should be assigned to the product 'gnome-desktop'.
Comment 4 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-10-12 12:34:41 UTC 
hold on

1. the word directory should not appear in the ui anywhere, we use
folder in gnome.

2. I still think we need to divide this dialog into two smaller
dialogs, create link, create app launcher, its way to crack ridden.

3. moving to the gnome-desktop component.
Comment 5 Mark McLoughlin 2002-11-28 01:20:06 UTC 
The patch should use the term folder then.
Comment 6 Kjartan Maraas 2004-01-22 11:26:53 UTC 
When does "Directory" appear in the list of options?
Comment 7 alexander.winston 2004-01-24 04:58:39 UTC 
Kjartan: It's in the "Type:" drop-down list/box/thingy.

Adding the PATCH keyword.
Comment 8 Kjartan Maraas 2004-01-24 14:16:01 UTC 
I don't see it when right-clicking on an icon on my panel and
selecting properties at least. Is this being removed by Fedora/Red Hat?
Comment 9 Stéphane Démurget 2004-01-25 09:58:05 UTC 
In fact, it seems to only be available with the "create launcher"
context menuitem of the desktop/nautilus. I don't understand how does
work or how useful is this option in fact, may be it could be removed ?
Comment 10 Mark McLoughlin 2004-02-16 10:06:33 UTC 
Yeah, the Direcory type isn't very useful in this dialog and should be
removed. Marking as a dup of bug #95331 which discusses re-working
this dialog substantially
