[Bug 18780] Re: Browser: tree view rendering problem

2010-09-08 Thread Topher
I can't help observing that comments like the previous one probably
don't do much to promote a community where perspectives and needs are
respectfully discussed, as they undermine an environment of constructive
critique. It sounds like a user taking out frustration from a specific
experience on a group of people who are putting (at least some) effort
towards solving the frustration, and the use of general attacks like I
thought Nautilus was pretending to be easy to use and scare away new
users don't seem to add anything to a discussion of HOW Nautilus might
pretend to compete on this topic.

That said, Owlstead highlights the point that any visual miscues that
make Nautilus less easy and clear to use, runs the risk of making Ubuntu
less desirable to new computer users -- and that the same miscues can
lead to risk of file loss by hasty users even when they do have a great
deal of experience.  It would be great if these points could be made a
little more constructively -- if for nothing else, then for the fact
that these bugs are public and seen and read by a pretty wide audience.

I understand that there's a group making moves to redesign Nautilus
altogether, I think something along the timeline of the Gnome Shell
project. I wonder if they have taken this long-standing annoyance into
account?

[Bug 120402] Re: ctrl+x closes the window

2009-01-25 Thread Topher
This may be a gtk issue but it doesn't look like it is going to get
resolved anytime soon upstream. Is there any chance that Tomboy could
develop a workaround? I'd recommend creating an option to disable the
CTRL + W shortcut key. Tomboy's preferences window already has a
Hotkeys section, so this would be a relatively small change and there
are probably users out there (such as me) who depend on certain hotkeys,
but would prefer to disable the Close All Windows hotkey, regardless
of the state of this individual bug.

[Bug 120402] Re: ctrl+x closes the window

2009-01-25 Thread Topher
Note for clarity: this bug happens when the dvorak keyboard layout is
configured but not currently the active layout; since the QWERTY X key
is the DVORAK Q key, pressing CTRL + X incorrectly triggers the CTRL + Q
shortcut (not W as stated above) even when the DVORAK layout is not
active.

[Bug 182601] Re: Export to Separate HTML Files

2008-12-11 Thread Topher
In the GUI, this could probably be reduced to just a separate checkbox in 
Tomboy's Export to HTML plugin. Currently this plugin has an option not only 
to export linked notes, but to do so recursively.
The only features missing which are requested in this report are:
1) - Put each linked note in a separate HTML file as opposed to appending to 
the same file
2) - Add command-line functionality

[Bug 160565] Re: Rhythmbox Volume Control is laggy

I just switched to Intrepid beta and this seems fixed! :-) From what I'm
hearing in related bug discussions, it was the newer kernel that did it.

[Bug 144330] Re: Using funtion key to change volume of rhythmbox sometimes causes linux to freeze

2008-05-04 Thread Topher
Eugrus:

I don't experience that buzzing in Rhythmbox when media volume keys are
pressed. Instead, as described, Rhythmbox stops responding (although
music continues to play) and other windows may even be affected, like
Firefox, if I switch to them to wait for Rhythmbox to pull itself
together. The fact that other GTK-dependent windows also subsequently
freeze up if I switch to them, *could* indicate that the freezup is a
GTK problem...

[Bug 198135] [NEW] Nautilus side-pane tree view: remove open arrows where no subfolders

2008-03-03 Thread Topher
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I'm browsing folders in Nautilus' side-pane tree view, I
automatically assume that if a folder has an arrow next to it, it will
not show [empty] when I click on the arrow. If the folder has nothing
worth showing, why not just hide the arrow? This would increase clarity
because that way, one can easily see which folders contain subfolders
and which ones don't, helping the user to locate the correct folder more
quickly.

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10.

Package involved: Nautilus, I'm assuming. It's v2.20.

What happens:
1) While browsing folders, show the side pane.
2) In the side pane, select the Tree view.
3) Observe that every folder is accompanied by a Show Contents arrow, even if 
the folder will display only [empty] when that arrow is clicked.

What I wish would happen:
...
3) Observe that only folders which have subfolders inside them are accompanied 
by a Show Contents arrow, helping me recognize folders more easily.

[Bug 160565] Re: Rhythmbox Volume Control is laggy

2008-02-22 Thread Topher
As Sebastien said - to be honest, I thought this was a feature like
Amarok's default fade-in for music. I can see why this might bother
someone who massively multitasks but I don't see it as high priority for
standard desktop users.

[Bug 144330] Re: Using funtion key to change volume of rhythmbox sometimes causes linux to freeze

2008-02-22 Thread Topher
I can confirm this in Gutsy most recent update (I used the Report a
Problem menu so details should be attached). Whether using Compiz or in
Metacity, if I have Rhythmbox as the active window and I use the FN
volume keys or the laptop's frontal volume hotkeys to change the volume,

NOTE: I'm not sure what this bug did in the past, but currently it only
makes Rhythmbox (and any other applications I switch to) hang for about
20 seconds. When I test this in Compiz, the Rhythmbox window fades dark
to indicate nonresponsiveness. Then after 20 seconds or so it returns to
normal. As mentioned above, using sliders to change volume works fine.
The FN volume keys also work fine AS LONG AS Rhythmbox is not the active
window, or if I am switched to another desktop.

I'm running an Inspiron  1520. My device DB key is
8571d049b59a4f8a891c8a773a3b16e1. I hope this info helps. It would
make sense to me if it were an issue with GTK, but on the other hand
I've only ever seen this happen with Rhythmbox.
