Those two bugs seems to be about different things. One is that the feature of saved searches (or search folders or what you want to call it) is hard to find, the other thing seems to be about saving the result of a particular search operation. > Possible places where a "Save search" are search bar (next to the text > entry), or in the query builder. > Add the button is not so difficult, but i see that the relevant code > that do the save are located in file-manager/fm-directory-view.c . > I really don't know anything about how-to-do-thing in nautilus and how > things are organized, and i haven't so much time in this period for > looking deep into the code, so someone point me in the right direction > for obtain the wanted result? Are search folders really created so often that having a button in the UI (taking up space) is really a good idea? It means less space for other things and more visual clutter/complexity. I agree that saved searches are kinda hard to find, but i think improving the docs and maybe pimping the feature in other ways is a better solution than making it an always visible icon in everyones file manager all the time. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc al...@redhat.com alexander.lars...@gmail.com He's a lonely pirate ex-con gone bad.
