[Bug 1170647] Re: After minimizing an external media, clicking on the "Files" icon on the Launcher doesn't restore the minimized window, but opens a new one

 

@ Alberto Salvia Novella Thanks for explaining this perfectly

Until I read #81, nautilus's behaviour was utterly erratic and
perplexing to me. This probably affects 99% of users. This problem is
exacerbated for users like me who keep most of their files in a separate
partition (for easy access in dual-boot windows/ubuntu setup).

 This is clearly a UI FAIL. The icon in launcher is the same for
nautilus file manager and for home folder.

The simplest solution is to eradicate this distinction between File
manager window showing a home folder and file manager showing other
folders.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE

  1. Connect a removable media to the computer.
  2. On the launcher, click on the "Files" icon.
  3. On the left sidebar, click on the removable media icon or the trash.
  4. Minimize the window.
  5. Click on the "Files" icon.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

  - The Files window to be maximized.

  REAL BEHAVIOUR

  - A new window is opened.

  RELEVANT DETAILS

  - The only way to navigate between windows at this moment is to use
  the "control + tabulation" key combination, or to click again on the
  "Files" icon so windows are exposed.

   SOLUTION
  **********

  WORK-AROUND

  - On the launcher, left click on the "Files" icon and select the
  "unlock from Launcher" option.

  FIX

  - The launcher icon for "Files" to be treated the same way as if it
  was unlocked.

  REGRESSION POTENTIAL

  - Clicking on the "Files" icon won't send the user to its home folder,
  but to the latest opened Files window.
