Description of problem: Nautilus should have a new feature from 3.28 - starring files. Eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtIByYKMOgs&feature=youtu.be This feature is not present in Fedora build of Nautilus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-3.28.0.1-1.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F28, update to GNOME 3.28 from updates-testing 2. Launch nautilus and right-click on some file Actual results: There is no option to star that file. Expected results: You should be able to star any file and they should appear in "Starred" files. Additional info: I've tested it on F28 with packages from updates-testing, sumantro tried https://kalev.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28-20180315.n.0-GNOME-3.28.0.iso . The result is same.
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 28-beta by Fedora user frantisekz using the blocker tracking app because: "Star a file" is a new Gnome/Nautilus 3.28 feature which is present in both flatpak of Nautilus and Ubuntu. Somehow, it's missing in Fedora.
Carlos, do you know what's missing that it doesn't work?
It only works on tracked directories, otherwise the star is not shown. Most probably is that. This assumption is also made for batch renaming and other stuff, but it's more visible here.
Discussed during blocker review [1]: punt (delay decision) - we suspect there's actually no bug here, but we agreed to just punt it till Monday's meeting, hopefully by then it'll be clear whether there's actually a bug and it merits FE status [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2018-03-22/
The Feature works for me since one of the recent updates, but it works only for some folders (Pictures, Documents). I don't see anything that would warrant a Blocker or FE here, though.
See the upstream issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/243 It technically is not tracker-indexed directories currently, but the XDG home directories.
Discussed during the 2018-03-26 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as a RejectedFreezeException was made as there doesn't seem to be a bug here. [1] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2018-03-26/f28-blocker-review.2018-03-26-16.01.txt
- Tested with a .txt file: Entry is present when applying on /home/<user>/ subsequent folders, no matter hidden or not, and the ones created by me as well) but missing on /home/<user> level. - Tested with a .iso file: Entry is generally missing.
I had a similar problem and resolved it by going into settings -> search -> gear icon, and enabled all places (Downloads, Home, Videos, Documents, Pictures and Music). Hope this help. :)
System settings was meant by 'settings'. Above mentioned locations are enabled by default along with a system installation and still are on my system. Despite the concept is illustrated by 'Starred files will appear here' no file can be starred, but folders can be.
