Just a quick comment related to this: it would actually make things easier if the help system at least told you *how* to save searches.
Quoting from the Nautilus help file, chapter "Searching For Files", section "Saving Searches": <quote> Nautilus searches can also be saved for future use. Once saved, searches may be reopened later. Figure 6-12 shows a user with three saved searches, browsing one of them. Saved searches behave exactly like regular folders, for example you can open, move or delete files from within a saved search. </quote> It does not actually say *anywhere* how to save a search, i.e. "To save a search, go to File>Save Search As..." -- It's difficult to save a Nautilus search https://launchpad.net/bugs/32542 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
