[Bug 537002] [NEW] Metacity should have a hide button (for MessagingMenu apps)
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: metacity [ Karmic / Ambiance ] Currently metacity layout have only button for minimize, maximize and close an application. In Ubuntu some applications like Empathy, Gwibber and Evolution are minimized to the Messaging Menu instead of being closed when we click the 'close' button. Sadly, this make the window workflow inconsistent because we, the users, expect an application to close on clicking the close button. For those applications there should be a 'hide' button to indicate that they will go to the system tray (like Pino, Deluge, Messagin Menu ones, etc.). It could be represented with a dot and a different background colour.

[Bug 297793] Re: Inconsistent spelling of Filesystem (vs. File system)
Why not name this just Linux... so, new users will know that everything related to the system is Linux. The Kernel, the files, everything is the filesystem... so, everything is Linux. We, the geeks, know that linux if more than a cople of files, but introduce the Linux concept to new users is really hard. They first need to know about kernel, aboud desktop, about distribution and lot of things!!. So, peter, a new linux user will see 'Linux' click it and see a lot of files related to the system. So, from today, peter will know that linux is his system. He already knows that his good frien dael has installed on his PC a copy of Ubuntu, so he knows he runs Ubuntu, but from today he will know that his Ubuntu has something related to the system called Linux.

[Bug 28835] Re: Unmount in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable
why confuse the user about a word that could mean something different from what they are used? use the icon. just the icon, and the user will be happy. That's why Win remove safely is used by users, they don't use the eject command from the file manager.

ok... i really think it should go in the places menu, why sould i need to go to the desktop to unmount a drive. In Windows there's a icon in the systray why not go for something really original, instead of only change a word. Icons are A LOT more intuitive than words. Words will depend on the user experience and his culture (localization) an icon will be universal. and also, will be a lot easier to Eject a dev ** Attachment added: QUICKER unmount http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28119287/places_menu_ejecter.png -- Unmount in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 28835] Re: Unmount in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable
UNMOUNT: only stop file activities, but let the drive powered. EJECT: shut down the drive. and, yes, there's a big need to have them separated. In externat drives, it's very impotrtant, when I unmount a external hard disk, it's still powered, and makes me thinks there's something wrong. Adding a tray icon is ver Windows like. No! maybe using the Places menu from the top could be a very Linux way to do things: Add s Stop (unmount) and a eject. Also, adding a MOUNT icon will be useful too, it's not very necesary, but i will help a lot of users. This way, if I want to only Unmount and let the drive powered on, i choose Stop. If i want to remove my drive I choose Eject. check this: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vm80mOXQnzuKDtbCcMrs5A?feat=directlink This is very handy when we have a external hard disk, that keeps powered when unmounting. Also, with multiple partition disk, so, if i choose to unmount only a partition, i choose Stop, and if i want to eject the drive, i choose Eject. This is very INTUITIVE, i think, and very advanced for those who wants it. ** Attachment added: Mockup, places menu, with bundled ejecter/unmounter http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27836464/screenshot_001.png -- Unmount in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
