Feature changed by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #308518, revision 3 Title: Nautilus openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marco Calistri (amdturion) Description: Wonder if someone can review Nautilus in terms of providing a bigger flexibility into it usage. For example: 1) if I try to open a .desktop file into ~.config/autostart, by right clicking on such file, then I cannot choose any editor to view/edit it 2) if I try to move/copy/cancel... a file into a folder wherein I have not permissions, Nautilus refuses, why don't offer to select a "su" option in order to avoid making such kind of operations by exiting Nautilus and using the terminal? TKS Discussion: #1: Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) (2009-12-16 13:38:46) I think it would be better to request this on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ + #2: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2009-12-16 14:13:14) (reply to #1) + Yes, Thomas is right there; that's really the kind of things that + should be submitted to upstream bugzilla. + (I can't close the fate entry, fwiw) + To answer your specific examples: + * I believe in the past that it was possible to edit desktop files with + right-click. It might be a new design choice, or a bug in the port to + gio. + * it's a conscious design decision to not propose any "su" feature in + nautilus. I honestly don't think this will change. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308518
