OK. So I was a happy user of 16.04. With a new computer in August, I thought it would make sense to go with 18.04.
One of the biggest issues is this searching stuff in Nautilus. Why? 1. It is not instant (unlike the type/find ahead of Nautilus in 16.04). I cannot type and then press enter and load the folder I want. 2. It is inconsistent with file dialogs (e.g. save or open) where find/type ahead works as expected. 3. Often I just want to see the files and folders in relation to one another. I might want to see the files starting with 'th', and being able to see the files starting with 'te' and 'tg' before the ones starting with 'th' is often quite useful. 4. There is no way that I can see to make it search only within the directory and not recursively search all subdirectories. I don't like that. 5. And searching within subdirectories doesn't even work 100% of the time! E.g. A search for a dot folder consistently doesn't turn it up. Thank you Ubuntu developers for previously hiding this stupidity. Please consider getting rid of it in 18.04 as well. -- 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/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1164016/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
