I rarely use Nautilus on F19. I'm trying it now. There are a few improvements that seem obvious. It calls itself "Files" (see "about files") but is nautilus (see ps(1) output). Make up your mind. I think "files" is a terrible name -- it is too generic. "Gnome Files" might be OK. But I like "Nautilus" (it makes me think that I'm Captain Nemo). SFTP capability is wonderful. But it is hidden. There should be some hints in "Browse Network" or "Connect to Server" that SFTP is supported. There should be some GUI way of constructing the terse URI-like-object for SFTP. This is the syntax for it (from some random web page): sftp://[user[:password]@]example.org[:port]/[path/to/directory/] Even that seems wrong: my experience suggests that the final unconditional / is sometimes but not always optional. One reason for using Nautilus is to avoid powerful but arcane notations like this. When I got an error "mounting" through SFTP the error was asynchronous. - the error report was generic (didn't pinpoint the problem) - the error disappeared after I clicked OK so I couldn't study it - could not see what I had typed. It was gone - I could not study what I had typed to figure out the error - I could not edit what I had typed. So I had to retype that intricate string There is "open" and "open in new tab" but no "open in new window". That seems dumb to me: I want two directories open so that I can see and operate on them both at one time. You can get the "open in new window" effect by "open in new tab" and then dragging the tab off the window, but that seems needlessly intricate and not obvious (except retrospectively). I almost never want a directory displayed as per "view items as a grid of icons". Is there a way that I can make my choice of view ("view items as a list") the default? I waste so much time and motion selecting this. Often when I eject a USB flash memory device, I get a pop-up window saying This location could not be displayed. ?? could not be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted [OK] I haven't taken the time to characterize when this happens. But it seems quite sloppy. It leaves the user (me) a bit disturbed. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
