That is a bit narrow minded. Did you consider that you used a mailing list that is not used much? > You can find a longer explanation below, but here's the briefing: > > Gnome does not provide feedback to make the user know a double-click > has been received and an action is being taken.

That is not correct. GNOME does provide feedback. > This is a 2003 bug that hasn't been resolved. The program being started has to support 'startup notification' If it does, Nautilus *will* show feedback when an application is launched. However, this depends on info in .desktop files. This could be incomplete. If so, bugs should be filed. > I have an opened discussion on the issue at the Ubuntu forums: > > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=861515 Most developers do not use forums. I don't like them. Too much effort to keep track of a forum. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list Usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
