Hey Adam, thanks for your comment > Has someone at Ubuntu already spent several weeks working on this and concluded it was too difficult? Or does Ubuntu not feel it would be worth that amount of effort?
Well, neither, the current desktop team has around 10 people to maintain the desktop ... that includes the complete GNOME stack, xorg, firefox, libreoffice, etc. In practice that's quite a low amonth of manpower compared to the number of packages to maintain, blocking time from an hacker for more than half a day is difficult for us... there is no way at the moment to spare someone for a week to resolve nautilus issues, we just have to sneak fixes in between higher priority work Oh, for the record we do agree that this bug is annoying and would like to fix, we just need to deal with what we have -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1164016/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
