We already have the "record to CD" button on the disc burner folder, and the "edit" button on the saved searches. Shouldn't we start including that kind of buttons on other special folders too, to perform actions that are important but not necessarily obvious?
We could start by adding an "empty trash" to the trash folder. The code's even already there: http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~weckerl/nautilus_patch.html Even more important IMHO would be to add an "eject button" for removable devices. Currently, many people new to linux or overall IT don't even know that USB devices, for example, need to be unmounted before pulling them out. This might not matter much in Windows, where data is copied synchronously, but is a killer in linux. Most of them just find out that the data they had copied "isn't there", and they don't know why. Putting an eject button on the folder would be an obvious way to remind them what they need to do, and very handy for experienced users too. -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
