The issue is that the current implementation of "files and folders" is unacceptable. It is unacceptable that it does not show up the files the user knows are out there. This effectively breaks the function from the perspective of the user. Thus, this issue should be corrected with the highest priority, or the function should be removed if it cannot be technically implemented in a satisfactory way.
Additional problem: inconsistency. "Applications" finds all applications on the computer, and even Applications *not* on the computer. "Files and Folders" on the other hand, does not even find several the user's own files that are on the local computer. Currently, this functions as an adequate "Recent documents" tool. Rename it to "Recent documents" and the current issue is solved. Then, a "Files and folders" lens could be a feature request for unity. Extending ZG with a new range of data providers does not seem like a priority right know, except if aims to make sure that at least, a user can retrieve his files. Let the rest follow once this fundamental flaw is solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646724 Title: not all files show up in files-place -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
