I can't help observing that comments like the previous one probably don't do much to promote a community where perspectives and needs are respectfully discussed, as they undermine an environment of constructive critique. It sounds like a user taking out frustration from a specific experience on a group of people who are putting (at least some) effort towards solving the frustration, and the use of general attacks like "I thought Nautilus was pretending to be easy to use" and "scare away new users" don't seem to add anything to a discussion of HOW Nautilus might "pretend to compete" on this topic.
That said, Owlstead highlights the point that any visual miscues that make Nautilus less easy and clear to use, runs the risk of making Ubuntu less desirable to new computer users -- and that the same miscues can lead to risk of file loss by hasty users even when they do have a great deal of experience. It would be great if these points could be made a little more constructively -- if for nothing else, then for the fact that these bugs are public and seen and read by a pretty wide audience. I understand that there's a group making moves to redesign Nautilus altogether, I think something along the timeline of the Gnome Shell project. I wonder if they have taken this long-standing annoyance into account? -- Browser: tree view rendering problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/18780 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
