Title:
Nautilus location bar buttons take us backwards in history, but not
forwards
Status in Nautilus:
Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Using Nautilus in "browser mode":
1. Gnome Places --> Home Folder (for someuser). This brings up a new
Nautilus window. History menus: Back: <empty>. Fwd: <empty>
2. Open the Music directory. Back: someuser. Fwd: <empty>
3. Open a subdirectory of Music, e.g. Beach Boys. Back: Music, someuser.
Fwd: <empty>
4. Click the Location Bar Button "someuser". Back: <empty>. Fwd: Music,
Beach Boys.
5. Click on Location Bar Button "Beach Boys". Back: someuser. Fwd: <empty>
BUG: It seems inconsistent and strange that clicking on the location
bar buttons that represent the directory path would take me backwards
in the history. It is then inconsistent and strange that clicking on
the buttons that are ahead of the current button do NOT take me
forward in the path.
That is, when I click them for directories that are parents, grand-
parents, etc. of the current/working directory, then I am actually
somehow/someway navigating in the navigation history stacks. But when
I click on a child, grand-child, etc. in the location bar buttons,
then I am actually starting a new path (clearing the fwd stack).
Perhaps this is by design, but if so, then I think the rules for these
buttons should be clearly stated in a design document. Each
step/behavior should be able to be conveyed (even if it is non-
deterministic) in the Gnome Nautilus Help.
( Bonus Question: What happens after step 5 when you click on "Music" in the
location bar buttons? )
