[Bug 1201128] Re: missing icons for .directory files
@jbicha: My previous comment reads like an attack on you personally. It wasn't intended to be. I'm grateful that you attempted a fix, even though your approach didn't actually address the problem described in the initial report. The lack of resources and low priority for this kind of papercut issue shows how far the Ubuntu project has departed from the user-focused philosophy that initially made it good.

[Bug 1201128] Re: missing icons for .directory files
The "fix" was entirely inadequate. Just three files, replacing one arbitrarily inappropriate icon with another, and not the ones that people have complained about. There are standard names for these, included within the default Ubuntu theme. Use those. If you really must use some other icon, call it the appropriate thing and then symlink to whatever icon you've pulled out of the hat. It isn't difficult. Failure to do so highlights how little you value the consistency of the user experience. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-icon-theme in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201128 Title: missing icons for .directory files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-icon-theme/+bug/1201128/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1209401] [NEW] [Regression]File-type handling is retarded
Public bug reported: Scenario: You want to edit a text file, so you make a copy with a different name. Later, you want to remind yourself of what the original file said, so you find it and open it. What you expect to happen: Nautilus will use whatever magic numbers and casting of bones that it normally does to identify the type of file, see that it's a text file the same as any other, and open it using the default text editor. What actually happens: Nautilus throws up a lame error message that "There is no application installed for “backup file” files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file?" maintaining a database of file extensions like it's Windows 95. Ridiculous. It was significantly better than that in Gnome 2.

[Bug 260069] [NEW] gnome-display-properties does not display EDID info
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center The majority of resolution problems in the Ubuntu forums appear to be caused by incorrect or missing EDID information. Either the monitors are not generating this information or the graphics cards are not passing it on. Having a simple display of the information that is being used to calculate the available resolutions would help the user to determine the cause of their resolution problem. Ideally, this information should be editable, to enable the user to put in the values from their monitor manual. This should automatically set HorizSync and VertRefresh values in the Monitor section, and set UseEDID to False in the Device section, of xorg.conf, or wherever the new tools set X configuration values. For the majority of users, this information would not be necessary, and would simply be informative, since their resolutions will have been automatically picked up and set. For those users where this had not happened, it would be an invaluable tool to troubleshoot their problem and to fix it without having to learn about manually configuring X or interpreting the text of the log files. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gnome-display-properties does not display EDID info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
