First a few notes : 1. The feature in question is very old ,and a lot of people have their way around it . 2. Inheriting the info from 1. -> I'm not quite sure how many people (old as they may be) have a problem with the feature. What is our representative sample ? I'm having these thoughts b

Re: [Unity-design] Kill The Sort-By Button

Hello, I like this idea (highlight the sorted column), but please do not suppress or hide this possibility to change datas range by column : I use it daily many times both in Nautilus and Thunderbird, it's a very useful feature, to find an item by date / type / sender etc... It's perfectly a

My two cents : I don't think that removing the bar with the column names is inappropriate - it's just needed to understand the info below (if there were a "date modified" column and a "date created" column how would you tell them apart) . A suggested behaviour : clicking (left or right) on sai

What about moving the sort functionality to a menu? Then, it can be easily accessed through HUD, preserving easy access fit who use the functionality who use it, while decluttering the UI and keeping a simple appearance for beginners. On Dec 11, 2012 7:28 PM, "Gregory Merchan" wrote: > I'm comple

Re: [Unity-design] Kill The Sort-By Button

I'm completely at a loss as to what buttons are being discussed. The only chrome I have in my folder views is the column headers in the list view, but even when I turn on all the junk^W tool bars and such, I don't see any button for sorting. I do see two little chevrons pointing left and right tha

I believe what I'm about to say have been said more than a thousand times before, but still, I feel like adding some weight. Rather than adress this "remove sort button" proposal (considering it is not a troll); I'd like make a stance against this reductionist mentality. The more a software can do,

just because an application ships with ubuntu doesn't mean that ubuntu has anything to do with actually working on the program. you're probably better off sending this to the developers of each application. personally, i'm against the idea. it is true that i rarely use them and do ignore them for
