Yes, that's pretty much it. I'm now using Lucid Lynx 10.04 and the inconsistent design is still present here. I agree that the notes system as currently implemented might as well be removed. -- The notes system seems inconsistent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 502020] Re: The notes system seems inconsistent
As I understand it, if you enter notes using the Nautilus side panel, the note is added to the current folder, not to the currently selected file. Does that agree with your experience? This is inconsistent UI design, but is probably not a bug. I agree that the notes and emblems feature, as they currently exist, are nearly useless, and should be removed unless (a) they are reimplemented in extended attributes and (b) are integrated with a desktop search system. -- The notes system seems inconsistent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 502020] Re: The notes system seems inconsistent
Confirmed in Karmic with GNOME nautilus 2.28.1. Notes added via "Properies" right-click result in a small note icon attached to the file icon, but nothing appears in the notes in the side pane. Adding a note to a file via the side pane results in no new icon appearing and the same note appears when selecting other files. -- The notes system seems inconsistent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 502020] Re: The notes system seems inconsistent
It seems pointless forwarding this report upstream as I have done some research now and found this problem goes back at least as far as 2005. Obviously it has very low priority and not enough people want it fixed. I doubt anybody is seriously using the file/directory notes system as it stands now. IMHO I think it might be useful for attaching notes to directories but it is useless (or at least very cumbersome) to bother attaching notes to individual files using this system. -- The notes system seems inconsistent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 502020] Re: The notes system seems inconsistent
Hello Rod, Thank you for taking the time to make this report. The notes system is very simple indeed, but it seems that's how it was designed (at least according to the help information). If you'd like to help improve the system, please forward this report upstream and add a link here. I've also added this report to the One Hundred Paper Cuts project; hopefully they'll be able to give more help.
