[Bug 15495] Re: "Archive Manager" doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an "archive" is

2009-06-28 Thread Valsodarg
Box is a too generic word that means almost anything and new users might have trouble understanding the concept of "Box this items..." or "Box files and folders". Package is reserved for deb files (which are still archives). I wonder if users will be able to distinguish package and archives differe

Possibly but what if the user needs to switch application during the process or needs to use the mouse. (Your suggestion will require the mouse to hover over the calendar to keep it displayed ~ or at least thats what I understand) -- Drop-down calendar does not close unless you click on it https:

I have a simpler idea: 1. If the user Clicks on the calendar it should mimic the current behavior (as in stay open until clicked again). 2. If the user hovers-over the calendar it should mimic the debated behavior (as in stay open unless hover-out/click out) Face it when you click on the calend

Perhaps the best solution is to make it configurable: Have an option to in the preferences to autoclose, but leave it uncheck. -- Drop-down calendar does not close unless you click on it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu D

@Stuart: Changing the name of the application is pointless and rather silly. Most other archive managers have different names [WinZip, WinRaR, 7Zip]. Changing the menu entry to as I have proposed earlier might seem more appropriate (I don't think user will care the name of the application or tha

I can confirm this. I use compiz all the time and oddly enough this happens only once in a while. Also I get the correct dialog. (Is it possible that focus prevention prohibits it from displaying properly?) -- "Shut Down" dialog doesn't open in the foreground https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27940

I would like to propose further enchantments: 1. Open the calendar on prolonged hover over (User X hovers on the calendar for 5 sec or so and the calendar opens, it closes when the user click away or hover out) 2. Integrate (or rather figure how to) integrate with Thunderbird. Now in all fairne

I agree with Franck. A tar file is an *archive* but its not a compress file. So by renaming all Create Archive (the fits all scenario) to compress files will cause confusion on how to create tar files. Perhaps a joined venture such as "Compress/Archive" will be much appropriate in the gnome men
