Mark blogged[1] that we should communicate things that we feel need to be trimmed back so I thought I would bring up the topic of the Nautilus context-menu (aka. right click on the desktop/file). Over the years I feel like this menu has been growing unchecked and now I feel overwhelmed when I use it. Right now when I click on a file I get:
Open Open With... Cut Copy Make Link Rename Copy to > (and then my home and Desktop) Move to > (and then my home and Desktop again) Move to Trash Stretch Icon (does anyone really use this?) Restore Icon (grayed out unless you've resized the icon) Send to... Compress Revert to Previous Version (I suspect this one is there because I have deja-dup installed) Properties Right clicking on a folder has similar options, with the addition of "Sharing Options" and now "Synchronize to Ubuntu One". When using other software I get even more options added in here (crypto options, dropbox, etc.). Some of the UI in these options is pretty weird. For example in "Send to..." I can send a file to a bluetooth device (OBEX) so the UI makes sense there but I can also send to "Removable disks and shares" and then select "Blank CD ROM", which is and odd way to write something to a CD. Likewise the "Sharing Options" and Ubuntu One options should likely be integrated together into something nicer. I was hoping to get this on someone's radar so that we might go through these and clean them up.
