Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
The side panel "File system" entry is ok for people that is used to the unix file hierarchy, but, IMHO, it doesn't have any useful meaning for most people. I think that it would be better to hide it whit a gconf key option to restore it if user want to (and an entry in the preference dialog to swicht that behaviour). I wonder what people that have no clue about unix would think after double clicking on file system and seeing all that bin, boot, var, ... etc folders that have nosense (non english speakers won't even have a remote idea of what they means). I think that hiding it and only showing meaningful locations would hide that complexity. Since nautilus is a multipourpose desktop, I don't think that nautilus should fix this (thus, I haven't reported this bug at bugs.gnome.org), but ubuntu has a user target that it is supposed not to know the unix file system. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- File system entry not useful for most people. https://launchpad.net/bugs/56086 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
