Here is a reason you might want to rank this bug higher than the current "low" rank.
People may navigate into read-only data via links or favourites or the "back" navigation so it might not be apparent what is read-only. It is conceivable that not all applications indicate read-only data, or indicate it in a prominent way for visually impaired people or tired people who are not visually impaired, so the user might waste some time modifying it. Even though saving to a different place preserves work, it's annoying and annoyance is disruptive to work. They might want to make changes to a similar or identical file elsewhere so padlocks should be visible on all directories that should have them. That way the user knows as early as possible to direct his attention elsewhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2016855 Title: padlock icon is missing sometimes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/2016855/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
