[Bug 630512] Re: nautilus location bar no longer recognizes ~ as /home/username

2011-01-25 Thread Jake Tolbert
Just updated from maverick-proposed. The test seems to be working great.
If I run into any other problems with it, I'll post further--for now, it
seems to be working great.

Great work, very much appreciated here.

[Bug 413357] Re: file-roller "An error occurred while adding files to the archive."

2011-01-18 Thread Jake Tolbert
To add to this bug, when I get this error, it's unclear which
compression job caused it--the dialog provides no feedback as to what
archive file I was trying to create when I received it.

Often, I'll start 2 or 3 compression jobs at once--if I receive this
error after they've all completed, I have no way of knowing which
file/compression job caused the error.

A simple bit of feedback in the error dialog would be extremely helpful
here, something to the effect of "Error while trying to create
backup.tar.gz: some files cannot be added to the archive."

[Bug 659411] Re: Entering a tilda ~ does not take you to the home directory

2010-11-05 Thread Jake Tolbert
Out of curiosity (and mostly for my education--I don't really know how
these things work), how does the process work for this to get fixed up?

I see on the upstream bug report that someone's attached a patch. How
does that patch make its way into the Ubuntu update process (and what
sort of time frame do these things normally run on)?

[Bug 388289] Re: gtkfilechooser save/save as dialog not 100% navigable by keyboard

2009-07-13 Thread Jake Tolbert
I was primarily thinking of a alt+x mneomic-style hotkey, which for the
most part, is unavailable.

I just opened a few gtk programs to see if I could nail down exactly
what I'm thinking of. In a few of them (OO.write and Gimp, for example),
there IS a mnemonic hotkey for "Select File Type". Other program's "save
as" dialog only have a drop-down menu widget for which there doesn't
seem to be a mnemonic (Firefox and Gedit, for example). Unfortunately,
while hitting alt+t to focus on that dialog does open the dialog, it
doesn't FOCUS it. You have to either hit tab several times or use the
mouse.

My goal is to navigate the entire dialog via keyboard in the most
efficient manner possible, which would mean a mnemonic that focuses the
dialog or focuses/opens the drop-down menu, depending on which is
available. I tend to think it should consistently be one or another, but
that's only my (uninformed) opinion and certainly out of the scope of
this bug report.

Let me know as far as any testing or reporting I can provide! Thanks for
your hard work!

[Bug 386150] Re: Nautilus file browser toolbar is complicated, redundant, and ugly

2009-07-01 Thread Jake Tolbert
I've always felt, particularly on 15" and 14" laptop screens that
Nautilus' icons were bigger than they were useful.

How can we move this discussion beyond 'here's my preferences'? What's
the best way to approach user testing so this paper cut gets resolved?

[Bug 388289] [NEW] gtkfilechooser save/save as dialog not 100% navigable by keyboard

2009-06-16 Thread Jake Tolbert
Public bug reported:

When saving a file, the save/save as dialog does not offer any obvious
options to select the file format drop down, making navigation of this
dialog purely with the keyboard almost impossible.

Several other bugs are related to this keyboard navigation issue (Bug
#387957 and Bug #54950, for example), but here, I take issue with the
lack of usability in providing an (obvious) hotkey.
