[Bug 12608] Re: 'keep aligned' does not work right
I think this item is not a low priority bug. I've switched to XFCE because of this. Majority of users saves things on desktop (firefox's default download folder) and it is very annoying to see my dekstop messed up a lot of times because I save images and the icons got stretched automatically. I even found my USB drive hidding under my CD-ROM some times. Isn't there an option to deactivate icon stretching and activating something like gnome-desktop-boxing (to act same as XFCE does) option? I want to see the right icons of my desktop aligned with the left icons but not one next to the other. And I don't want to see diferent icons sizes. I save things in desktop on-the-go and have no time to keep alligning and reorganizing my desktop. What's the advantage of having a cute desktop with a lot of options if you lose usability? In my opinion, usability must come before cosmetic purposes. I wan't a simple and working desktop and do not want icons stretching until it can allign correctly. At least make it an option. -- 'keep aligned' does not work right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12608 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 12608] Re: 'keep aligned' does not work right
i think the answer to the stretched icon issue is not to difficult: 1) divide screen into grid divided by the default width/height of icons 2) order icons in whatever natural order you choose (alpha, date, etc.) 3) use a greedy placement algorithm such that: - icon is placed in the farthest-left, then farthest-top empty grid square, anchored by it's top-left corner - icon claims as non-empty any grid squares it overlaps - repeat with next icon obviously replace top-left with the text layout locale pref for right- left langs. -- 'keep aligned' does not work right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12608 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

GonzO, interesting suggestions. I agree that stretch icon functionality should never take precedence over aligning the icons.

The issue is not trivial because icons can be streched and the grid is not easy to draw in such cases, could the design team suggest what the behaviour should be for icons there? -- 'keep aligned' does not work right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12608 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 12608] Re: 'keep aligned' does not work right
Suggestion 1: the upper-left hand corner of each icon is what should be aligned to the grid. (I am aware that this may cause icons of differing sizes to overlap when aligned, but I'm not entirely certain stretch icon is easy enough to do - or popularly used enough - to compromise the keep aligned functionality. Suggestion 2: One could also dim out the keep aligned option if any icons are stretched, given how difficult it would be to actually align/keep aligned icons of varied sizes. -- 'keep aligned' does not work right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12608 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
