Public bug reported:
I spend a lot of time "teaching" people how to use Ubuntu. A lot of the
people I teach are not very computer savvy.
It is confusing to people when they see in the Nautilus SidePane how
things are categorized by DEVICES, COMPUTER, NETWORK only to be
confronted with a lack of the same categorization/demarcation when they
are presented with a Save-As dialog box. This results in users not fully
understanding where something is going to be saved.
The Save-As dialog box should use the same categorization/demarcation
paradigm as the Nautilus SidePane. For example, look at the two
screenshots I have attached. In the "Nautilus SidePane" screenshot, you
can see that HOME, DESKTOP, and FILE SYSTEM are all located under the
COMPUTER heading. This clearly communicates that these folders are
located on the user's computer. Now look at the "Save-As dialog
SidePane". Notice how the USER, DESKTOP, and FILE SYSTEM folders are
located where the DEVICES are listed? This is confusing. These folders
are located on the COMPUTER and yet they are being listed along with
DEVICES. The Save-As dialog box layout should match Nautilus' SidePane
layout. That is, USER, DESKTOP, and FILE SYSTEM should be moved below
the "DEVICES section" so they are listed together with the other folders
located on the user's computer.
