[Bug 1228588] [NEW] unity makes confusion when managing partitions' folders

 

Public bug reported:

How to reproduce
version 1:workspaces disabled
Open gedit
Click on a partition icon on the launcher
You see nautilus windows appears, a white arrow appears alongside of Files icon and both the icon of the volume you clicked on and the File's one have a backlight.
Focus gedit
I see the white arrow is alongside of the Files icon, so if I want to focus the partition's folder I should click on it. I do it
Expected result
Unity focuses the partition's folder
What happens instead
Damn! It opens a new File window in my home folder, but if I click on the partition icon it works... ok, I can get used to it, even if it's a bit confusing...


version 2:workspaces enabled
Click on a partition icon on the launcher
You see nautilus windows appears, a white arrow appears alongside of Files icon and both the icon of the volume you clicked on and the File's one have a backlight.
Switch to another workspace
I want to focus the partition's folder in the other workspace, as in the previous case I see the arrow alongside File's icon and I click on it
Expected result
Unity switches to the correct workspace and focuses the partition's folder
What happens:
It opens a new File's window in my home folder. Ok ok, I have to click on the partition's icon. I do it.
Expected result #2
Unity switches to the correct workspace and focuses the partition's folder
What happens #2
What!? The File icon wiggles and its edge becomes illuminated? Nothing else? Do I really have to manually switch to the correct workspace and then click on the "correct" icon? I can't realize a convenient way to focus the window on the other workspace without doing it manually (which is not comfortable)
