Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
-While use Nautilus, hit Ctrl+F and run a search for the item of your choice.
-Presuming your search returns results, right click on one of the files or
folders displayed and view the menu that pops up.
Expected:
- For one of the menu items to display "Show in Folder". Clicking on this would
open up a new folder window showing the folder that the search item resides in.
In reality:
-There is no such menu item.
This bug is slightly aggravating in normal use. You may be searching for a
folder but may only remember the name of a file that is in it. Or there maybe
files that you want that are located close to the file you are searching for
(maybe searching for a config file and get the wrong file but for the right
application).
In those instances in order to do the above, you must right click on
item, click on "Properties", resize the entire Properties window so that
the full file Location can be viewed (the window is usually small enough
to truncate the location), copy the location, go back to Nautilus, hit
Ctrl+L, enter in the location into the address bar, and hit enter.
As you can imagine, an option on the menu that would allow you to
directly go to the folder that the file is in would be so much more
convenient and user friendly.
