This problem is quite critical in my opinion. Why? Because I want to turn some users to Ubuntu (mostly parents who don't game, Photoshop, etc., just average users), but I just couldn't do that, because then I had to start with: Hey! There is a great open source operating system, so cool, stable (… etc.). There is only one problem: the file manager does this, so we just have to unlock the most used icon from the dock. And they would ask: aren't they working on this? I would say: yes they have been working on this for the last year... But the system is top notch! … It just doesn't sound right, and my partners would lose trust really quick. But now it turns out, that this is not a bug! This is a design choice, which is actually backed up by Mark Shuttleworth himself! That made me start thinking, and playing with the system. I realized, that when I select Trash, or an external drive, their respective icons get activated. I didn't recognized it until today, however, I've been using Ubuntu for a long time! (Maybe it's because the unlucky color of the dock based on the wallpaper). So, I came up with a possible fix I would like to see happening: when the Trash, or an external drive is selected, than the arrow (and active highlight) from Files should go to the respective icon (this requires that the external drives cannot be removed from the dock... or at least get activated ad hoc in situations like this), and it should vanish from Files. Furthermore, Files should be renamed to Home. Furthermore, these icons should be packed together somehow. Like all of the are at the bottom. That's it. Than we would have a system that works logically that supports an idea, that is Fresh, and Intuitive: we're not used to it, but it's good in my opinion.

Connect a removable media to the computer. 2. On the launcher, click on the "Files" icon. 3. On the left sidebar, click on the removable media icon or the trash. 4. Minimize the window. 5. Click on the "Files" icon. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR - The Files window to be maximized. REAL BEHAVIOUR - A new window is opened. RELEVANT DETAILS - One way to navigate between windows at this moment is to use the "control + tabulation" key combination, or to click again on the "Files" icon so windows are exposed. Otherwise the minimized window Can be restored by clicking on the Volume's launcher icon or scrolling on the Files icon ********** SOLUTION ********** WORK-AROUND - On the launcher, left click on the "Files" icon and select the "unlock from Launcher" option. FIX - The launcher icon for "Files" to be treated the same way as if it was unlocked. REGRESSION POTENTIAL - Clicking on the "Files" icon won't send the user to its home folder, but to the latest opened Files window. **************** TECHNICAL INFO **************** ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu16 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-18.28-generic 3.8.6 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-18-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Apr 19 11:33:13 2013 EcryptfsInUse: Yes GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'geometry' b"'814x493+136+38'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'sidebar-width' b'182' InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-07-23 (635 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110426) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-04-14 (4 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1170647/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
