Adam Niedling: That's a long story. Very briefly, about 2 years ago the GNOME project, which develops Nautilus, decided to remove support for desktop icons from Nautilus, controversially:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/01/gnome-desktop-icons-removed-3-28 Ubuntu still wants desktop icons, so it needs to implement them in some other way, and so it uses the Desktop Icons shell extension. As Paddy mentioned above, there is a newer version of Desktop Icons called Desktop Icons NG, which is under active development: https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng I myself run Desktop Icons NG too. It is still a long way from having all the functionality of Nautilus, but it is slowly getting better. I also hope that Ubuntu will switch to Desktop Icons NG sooner or later. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1901150 Title: No "Are you sure?" question when deleting something from Desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons/+bug/1901150/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
