Problems with nautilus-connect-server.1:

List syntax error. This means .IP, .TP or .RS/.RE markup is garbled.
Common causes include .TP just before a section header, .TP entries
with tags but no bodies, and mandoc lists with no trailing .El.
These confuse doclifter, and may also mess up stricter man-page
browsers like Xman and Rosetta.

Hi,
How can I catch Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V in Nautilus by an extension? Where the 
copy/paste handlers are?


best regards

Also, have you tried using the Connect to Server dialog? Just click
"Connect to Server" in the Places sidebar, or choose it from the
application menu. It's a helpful dialog: it lists servers you have
connected to in the past, and it makes some effort to detect if it can
connect to the one you enter.

Have you tried Ctrl+L? That should bring back the address bar.

Nautilus missing feature - issues with samba4

2013-05-20T15:57:52

Hi,

Samba4 does not have NetBIOS integration, therefore, the domain 
cotroller will not be visible on the network. Especially with Gnome3, 
the address bar has been removed from nautilus, therefore it becomes 
impossible to connect to a CIFS resource that is not broadcasting 
itselft. I highly suggest the introduction of the addess bar in 
nautilus.

As of right now, the only way to access the shares on samba4 is to 
mount them from console, process that is unnatural when the GUI is meant 
to facilitate the work. This would be a great adition to Gnome3 and 
others would appreciate it for sure.

Thank you.

GNOME-Documents feature request

Joaquin Villanova — 2013-05-16T12:11:53

Hi, i'm using Documents last version in Arch Linux and it would  be nice 
to add some features to documents:

- Ability to browse subdirectories in Google Drive, if i try all that i 
get is "Document not found error".

- Integration with Abiword and Gnumeric as Libreoffice is a bit bloated 
for not so modern computers.

Hope that this helps, keep the good work guys.

Greetings, Joaquin  Villanova

Mind first saying who you are, who initiated this study and for exactly

Hello all,

we currently run a study about strength and weakness of file managers. To estimate pros and cons of a particular tool we need to compare its result with other programs. And for a reliable splitting of the results we need as much answers as possible. Therefore: Please participate! (and share the link to the study)

Thanks a lot in advance,

The problem raised by D.J.J. I consider an important one, as customisation
is a "key" issue for me.
As I indicated earlier, I consider higher level key handling a mess.

Does anyone know about any attempts in the FOSS world, to make
key handling consistently customisable throughout all applications?
(as most applications have their own, like libreoffice, which doesn't
even have symbolic key defines...(

It's actually easier to obtain a consistent key handling in Windows
(if your preference is emacs keys...) by using xkeymacs, which,
however makes quite some ugly monkey patching I assume...)

António Fernandes — 2013-05-07T22:35:35

Hello, D.J.J.

As was already said, nautilus is not the only application hidding its title
bar (and the close button along with it). Actually, nautilus adopted this
only six months later than some others.

The main idea is hidding the titlebar, because it wastes space on the
screen for no purpose (the name of the folder is already shown inside the
window). This had the side effect of losing the close button.

The plan is to place the close button inside the window. Allan's blog post
has some example mockups of how this would look like:
https://afaikblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/design-goings-on/

So, your concern is likely to be addressed in a future release.

But if you want a solution now, you can get the titlebar and the close
button back with this extension:

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Michael, I had NO idea as I don't use
totem or ephphany.

I hope I get gnome to listen :-)

Maybe it is more like the Wizard of Oz than this list, but I will give it a
go.

Thank you very much and this list is very nice to strangers, so I can say
clearly:

I love Nautilus (especially the extensions!)

The lack of window buttons on a maximized window is not just a nautilus
issue. Other Gnome apps such as totem and epiphany are following the
gnome 3 guidelines of removing the title bar when maximized. This does
result in a usability issue with trying to quickly close a window using
a pointer. 

There's a recent bug filed with a proposed solution that doesn't seem to
have had much attention:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695399

I think desktop-devel-list or gnome-shell-list would be better places to
bring this issue up, since it is a gnome specification.

Hello Trevor,

I tried that because I had found that by searching, but I found it failed
and I find that others are saying it now fails.

It should be an option.

I don't know why anyone would want nautilus the way it is now, but someone
must.

I think the old way should  be the default behavior but probably would vote
for midnight commander to remain gnome file manager if asked. (It used to
be before Debian Woody).

Also, if needed you can add the normal window buttons (maximize, minimize,
etc) with gnome-tweak-tool.

OK, now I see that I should have read more carefully D.J.J ;-)

Now I got curious, I have to check this on a machine tonight,
Doesn't even the default keys Ctrl-W  or Alt-F4 work?

Forgive me, Roland One,

I spoke poorly it seems.

I rarely use keyboard short cuts, except for ctrl-a, ctrl-x, ctrl-c, ctrl-v
and ctrl-p.

I mean the Window buttons that appear in every other program in GNOME are
missing.  They look just like the Microsoft Windows buttons so it is a good
feature if you are converting family members to use Linux, underline /
minimize, two overlapping windows /full screen or a smaller window, and X
for close window.

All other applications you just have to go to the X on the corner of the
screen and click the X and you've closed the window and exited the
application, with the new nautilus, you have to click on what is the menu
and scroll all the way down to the bottom and select "Close".

Rather annoying if you do this many times a day.

I'm not using gnome3 as it became so weird, but when I'm helping
other people install a new system I usually recommend gnome-classic
which is gnome3, but I haven't checked key defintions, as these
are machines I'm not using, I'm using fluxbox nowadays.

Do you really mean D.J.J. Ringm that you can not longer define
arbitrary keys in gnome3. That can't be possible, why would the
gnome develoopers do something that weird?

Isn't it simply some config file for gtk that need changing?
Gnome3 uses gtk3 I presume and I have no problem at all with
gtk3 applications, they work excellent, but the key defines are
different than gtk2, to get e.g. emacs editing keys in gkt3
you need to modify ~/.config/gtk-3.0
I assume you can define hotkeys for nautilus in
~/.config/nautilus/settings.ini
or something, but of some reason I can not find any info
on that.... I'll check the nautilus source how it's done, as I
need to recompile it on one machine.

Also, a general problem with many gtk/gnome applications
is that they do not update their menues after changing hotkeys.

I consider the whole key handling quite a mess currently.
It needs quite some unnecessary effort to get a consistent key
handling theme throughout all applications.

Hello,

Forgive the possible noise.

I tried to use the archive search but it did not give me meaningful results
in fact it didn't give me results from this list at all, but google results.

I've searched for this solution but found none, except that nemo has been
forked from nautilus to provide dropped features.

The problem with going to nemo is loosing accessibility with gnome orca and
not having the wonderful features of nautilus.

I find the new interface to be so frustrating to be nearly useless.  The
file listings and every feature work very well but I cannot minimize or
close the window without much effort.

I know that for some users the newer way of doing things is faster and more
efficient but for some remembering new shortcuts to close a window when ALL
the rest of the windows in GNOME can be closed by clicking the X in the
menu, is frustrating.

Could a setting be included in the next improvement to nautilus if it
doesn't already exist to allow nautilus to have the regular buttons that
everything else does if the user wishes to have them?

Other than that there is no reason to use anything else.  Nautilus is
awesome and works very well for the blind user or visually impaired user.
