> The idea started with the folder in tree view, actually admitting I don't get it, or is it untrivial to just allow a complete context menu independent from where you click and leave it up to the user which action to select?
The actions depend of the context, "create a new directory" doesn't apply if a file is selected for example... > Is too much context confusing the user? Well, all actions don't apply to all context, and listing all possibles actions all the time would give a busy and confusing menu to use > At current state one actually needs to tell a user "click *exactly* on the file name, only then you'll get access to the appropriate context menu". When there is a very short file name for example 'fo' or '1' one needs to have good target skills. No, it doesn't, you can click on the icon or any part of the filename or on the text of other columns, if you aim for the icon you should hit either the icon or the filename and that should be easy enough to do? ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912446 Title: Allow an independent context menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/912446/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
