I would rather prefer that shortcuts in the quicklist open new tabs than new windows. That was also what I expected the first time I tested this new Home quicklist.
Myself I use a number of customized quicklists and one example here is firefox. There I use "firefox -new-tab <url>" to achieve that and the firefox window is always focused. That's to me an expected behaviour not new windows each time crowding the desktop. However, I was going to test that case for nautilus but can't find a command option for setting up a new nautilus tab. Maybe that's why this behaviour was not implemented? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/723862 Title: Nautilus quicklist does not contain the locations previously found under the 'Places' menu. Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Committed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Fix Released Status in Unity: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Description: The right clicking on the Nautilus icon in the Launcher should open a quicklist that lists the bookmarks and locations displayed as Nautilus 'Places'. These locations used to be displayed in the 'Places' menu bar menu, and are still displayed inside Nautilus in the left hand 'Places' sidebar. Desired resolution: The Nautilus Launcher quicklist should list all the bookmarks displayed inside Nautilus in the 'Places' sidebar. This list needs to be dynamic, so that if user changes their bookmark, their new bookmarks are reflected in the quicklist. In addition, a 'Open a new window' option should be added to the top of the quicklist. The quicklist should be formatted as follows: ----------------------- Open a new window --------- [nautilus bookmark] [nautilus bookmark] [nautilus bookmark] [nautilus bookmark] [nautilus bookmark] [nautilus bookmark] [nautilus bookmark] etc... (all nautilus bookmarks should be displayed) --------- Files --------- Keep in launcher Quit ----------------------- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/723862/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
