I also miss this functionality, as in my day-to-day work, I am very frequently copying file paths from Nautilus and pasting them into a terminal.
This change just causes me aggravation, and has severely slowed down my workflow. At times, I have now found myself using Dolphin because its quicker and easier to use to perform the regular tasks I need to perform. If the change was considered necessary, then there should have been an option in Nautilus "Properties" to switch the button back on if that is what a user wants. Linux and FOSS is meant to be about choice and freedom, after all. Telling users to use "Ctrl+L" is not a valid response to this problem. That is not a solution, it is a workaround for "power users". No regular users know about this shortcut. In fact, most experienced users won't know about this shortcut. I certainly didn't. Keyboard shortcuts are there to provide power users who can remember shortcuts with a way to perform regular tasks quicker. They should NEVER be a complete replacement for GUI-based functionality. This breaks one of the biggest, most basic rules of GUI design. -- [FFe] Toggle button for Nautilus location field gone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
