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.
