[Bug 41256] Re: adding bookmark should act on the selection

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks for your bug. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339683

Better to use a clear title, "doesn't work properly" is not useful for us nor for upstream, I've updated the title to reflect what the bug is about

** Summary changed:

- add to favourites doesn't work properly
+ adding bookmark should act on the selection

** Description changed:

  I use fresh dapper (2006-04-25) and in my opinion adding to favourites
  doesn't work properly in nautilus - it is not intuitive and doesn't work
  as user would expect.
  
  Little example:
  
  Open Nautilus
  
  create ~/test directory
  go this directory and create two subdirectories:
  
  ~/test/1
  ~/test/2
  
  Stay in this directory - click on ~/test/2
  
  This directory will be highlighted
  
  Then hit Ctrl-D
  
  The directory that will be added to favoutites is ~/test not ~/test/2
  that we highlighted and we expected to bookmark.
  
  In my opinion that's wrong behaviour.
  
  Ctrl-D shouldn't work on parent element it should work on currently
  active and highlighted element.
  
  And more - I think that "bookmark" shortcut should be available in
  context menu on right click.
  
  In this way user could select directories that want's to bookmark from
  his list of visible dirs.
  
  For example - I got ~/test dir
  and ~/test/1 ~/test/2 .... ~/test/100 dirs
  then I go to ~/test and select directories that I want to bookmark by highlight them and right click + bookmark action on selected dir.
  
  Currently to bookmark I should go _into_ directory that I want to
  bookmark and Ctrl+D.
  
  This is non intuitive, time wasting and wrong behaviour.
  
  Also bookmarking should work on multiple directories. So I should be
  able to select directories with mouse click with Ctrl or Shift to select
  range and then bookmark more than one directory at the moment.
  
  
  
  
  
- Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'nautilus'; however, that package was not published in Baltix.
