[Bug 395812] New: Slab: Search field does nothing
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=395812 Summary: Slab: Search field does nothing Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: probono@myrealbox.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: sreeves@novell.com, danw@novell.com, jimmyk@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer The search field in Slab does nothing, at least it is not apparent to me what it does.. Knowing Mac OS X, Windows and KDE4, I would expect that the search field has a Spotlight-like functionality. However, I cannot get it to launch an application: When I click on "Computer" and then enter "gnome-screenshot" into the box at the top of the menu and press enter, I would expect either a) I can watch the list of "matching" applications and documents as I type (preferred; like Spotlight); or b) gnome-screenshot launches when I press enter; or c) The computer is searched for files that have gnome-screenshot in their name and/or content; or d) an error box telling that the "Search" has found nothing But nothing of that sort happens. Instead: Nothing at all. Looks like the user input went straight to /dev/null. (That being said, I think that Slab in its current form is pretty unergonomic for people who use their computer for more than 4 or 5 applications. Every other application menu has at least *all* the applications in it. How am I supposed to launch any application besides the somewhat randomly picked ones that are placed prominently in the menu? Having to launch an extra window that looks like a control panel just in order to launch an application is not needed in any other OS that I'd know of.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
