[Bug 34371] Re: Administration Items inaccessible
I've got this exact same bug, and it is really infuriating! Having only just installed Ubuntu, I can't setup anything!

[Bug 34371] Re: Administration Items inaccessible
Fixed! Found solution on Ubuntu forums. Problem was that I used "expert" installation mode & something about a root password being set & my account couldn't use sudo properly.

[Bug 48671] Re: Cannot rename by clicking on a file
This is a convention among Windows, OS X, KDE, etc. It would also be easy to implement - if file is already selected when clicked on, enter rename mode. ** Also affects: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Cannot rename by clicking on a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 48671] Re: Cannot rename by clicking on a file
Why would you put the shortcut hint in the context menu when no other items have it? It is already in the Edit menu (not everyone would go looking for it though). I rarely use F2 because it is annoying on Macbooks to press Fn+F2 - it breaks my workflow. Here is why I think it is a papercut: It is system-wide, and impacts a standard workflow - renaming files and directories. It would be easy to address. It is a missing way to access the existing 'rename' feature. It is related to useability; it is a convention among other file managers. Most people who have used Windows or OS X will be familiar with it, and can be lost when they try to do it on Ubuntu. -- Cannot rename by clicking on a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 174317] Re: Recent Documents needs 'open containing folder' option
In the 'Places' menu it makes sense to be able to open the containing folder of your recent documents.

[Bug 174317] Re: Recent Documents needs 'open containing folder' option
Not that it makes any difference, but the upstream bug is soon going to be 7 years old. I'm not sure this qualifies as a Papercut bug, it would be a new feature... although it would be a boon to functionality & usability if fixed. -- Recent Documents needs 'open containing folder' option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174317 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 388613] Re: Lack of preloading - very slow drawing of images
I agree with this being severe. It is awful trying to show your family a slideshow of photos, and makes Ubuntu look bad. The upstream patch is nearly there I think... the developers made some recent comments about wanting to get this bug fixed. -- Lack of preloading - very slow drawing of images https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 48671] Re: Cannot rename by clicking on a file
Would accidental renaming be much of a problem if only the label activated it? Do people use the text label for selecting/moving as much as the file icon? Clicking on the file icon could be set to end renaming, which would help with quickly getting out of it... I think that there is a parallel here with the single/double-click-to- open behaviour setting. Preferences -> Behaviour would be a good place for a click-selected-to-rename setting. I'm at a loss as to what needs doing in the code, after looking through the source for a while all I could get it to do was rename when clicking a selected icon - not quite right. I can't find a way to check if only the label was clicked... -- Cannot rename by clicking on a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 48671] Re: Cannot rename by clicking on a file
List and compact views seem to be the most problematic with click-to- rename. Icon view is the default view, and is less accident prone, as the icon is larger than the text (usually). Here's what I think at the moment: Compact view: probably too compact for click-to-rename. Icon view and List view: needs only the text clickable, as has been said above. Also, clicking any other part of the item (row, including empty space; icon) needs to reselect it, ending the rename. Double clicking should not enter rename, to reduce accidental activation. Renaming should be activated by a single click on the text of an item that is already selected. I'm not certain list view is even a good idea at all...the label is the main target used to select items. But in icon view I think that, well implemented, it would work well. In the upstream bug report there is a patch from last year. I have attempted to get it working, and I have gotten click-to-rename for icon view. But one issue: if an icon is selected, double clicking on the label is acting as two clicks, i.e. it activates rename and then positions the cursor. It should instead open the file/folder, not rename. I tried implementing a rename delay, but it didn't solve the problem. Please forgive any mistakes in the patch, I'm still learning. It works, but is not finished. ** Attachment added: "click-to-rename for the 'icon view' only.

[Bug 48671] Re: Cannot rename by clicking on a file
@Cody Russell: when in 'single-click-to-activate' mode you can select items either by dragging or control-clicking on them. Once selected, the label could then activate rename when clicked. The only problem would be that when in rename mode, clicking the icon doesn't reselect the icon it activates it. @David Siegel: How did you get it working with icon, list & compact views? I would be interested to see how it is done, codewise... -- Cannot rename by clicking on a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
