From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010725 Description of problem: Double clicking icons in the start here opens them in a new window, regardless of the user's preference. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the start here window. 2. Double click on anything. Actual Results: The item clicked appears in a new window. Expected Results: The item clicked should appear in the current window unless the user has set the "Open each file or folder in a new window" option in their nautilus' preferences. Additional info: All other folders seem to obey the user's preference - this is inconsistent and confusing UI.
Agree. I believe fixing this is going to be a bit too involved for this release; but will look into it immediately after. The fix is basically to change how those .desktop files work; right now they launch a new Nautilus window by exec'ing "nautilus start-here:", instead they should probably contain links to be opened by the current Nautilus.
I think it is probably quite possible to change the logic in fm-directory-view.c to check if the thing it is going to launcher is a launcher that is "Exec: nautilus..." and then, if so, treat that as if it was a link. I think it would probably be a hour or so of work. How this compares to doing it right, I don't know.
Icons should be changed to links in Nautilus 1.0.4-32, this speeds things up also.
Hi boys, The second roswell beta seems to be more polish... But, in the case of this bug there's still one case a new window is open : Double-click on Programs in "Start Here" Have fun, Jean-Yves LENHOF
Already fixed, we forgot to update programs.desktop before.
