@Jan: - let's not argue about usability, it's not my domain, I'm just relaying what I've read over the years (see e.g http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_menu#Usability)
- the argument there it's not that "it confuses new users", where did you get that? I wrote "but a balance between too many options making the menu difficult to parse/use and having the useful options easily available." The point is that if you have 150 features in nautilus and you list them all in its context menu, then you end up with a menu with 150 items. That's a lot of information and it means it's getting very slow for anyone to find where the item they are looking for is. Sure that number is an exageration, but it's not always easy to provide all the feature while keeping an interface pleasant to use - the changes in nautilus are coming from GNOME, not from us, we are just providing the software and trying to respect those who write it, by not overwritting too much of their decision in the version we ship, while keeping our users happy ... that's not always an easy balance either -- 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/1026254 Title: Open with on folders was removed, Ubuntu should consider patching back To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1026254/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
