[Bug 445558] Re: Don't display a status bar

Wouter, I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that we're removing the status bar in the GTK3 UI. :-) Instead we're showing counts at the bottom of the main pane when appropriate. ** Summary changed: - Don't display a status bar + [GTK3] Don't display a status bar ** Changed in: software-center

Well that is not what is under discussion here, but yes I do think it serves a purpose in those two programs: it is very useful to know how many items you have there because you can do a lot of actions on many files/photos and often the item count will be how many you have selected. E.g. when you

Do you think the item counts in Nautilus and F-Spot serve any purpose either? If so, what's the difference? -- Don't display a status bar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445558 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. --

The count text that is currently in the bottom bar often shows the number of matching items for a search. Therefore, it should not be in the opposite direction from the search field as the results are, i.e. it should not be above the field when the results are below the field, so putting it in a

My suggestion would be to not show an item count at all; it doesn't serve any purpose. -- Don't display a status bar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445558 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list

I also attached a quick mockup of what would be a better location for the results count im my opinion. A button next to the get free software and categories buttons, this seems a more logical location and this allows for easy navigation between the search results and complete category views. **

Thanks for the suggestion. In future, though, the bottom bar will contain other items, including a resize grippy, buttons for adding and modifying software sources, and possibly buttons for switching between icon/list/gallery views. So, we're going to keep it for now. ** Changed in:

Except for the resize handle it seems a bad idea to me to put all those things in a status bar, a toolbar on top of the window would be more appropriate. Right now it isn't useful so I would suggest removing it for now, it is a minor change to add it back in the future when needed. ** Changed in:
