Description cjenkins 2010-01-15 16:17:39 UTC
Description of problem:

This is an enhancement request. In Nautilus' search results display, please make the status bar show the full path of each file as the user selects it. Often it is necessary to know WHERE a file is located, and currently the only way to find that out is to right-click on each in turn and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.26.4


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a File Browser window and navigate to /
2. Click on the "Search" button
3. Enter "stdlib.h" in the search box and click and press Enter

  
Actual results:

On a development machine, many copies of stdlib.h may appear in the results window. But how to know which is which? If you click on one of them to highlight the file, the status bar changes to say '"stdlib.h" selected', telling you exactly what you already knew before you even clicked, not what you need to know.


Expected results:

When a search results window is displayed, clicking on the stdlib.h which is located in /usr/include should cause the status bar to change to say '"/usr/includes/stdlib.h" selected' so that you don't have to waste time checking the properties of each file to find out which one it is.


Additional info:

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for entering an enhancement request. RetHat's site says this bugzilla is for bug reports and enhancement requests, but once I log in, I am only offered the option of entering a bug report.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 11:43:15 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 15:37:25 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
