[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

 

A possible (maybe better) temporary workaround that keeps a Launcher
icon, but  also shows another Nautilus icon in the "running-apps"
section  of the Launcher, which behaves as it should both for other
(internal and external) drives and Trash:

1) Open the folder "~/.local/share/applications" and change the name of
the desktop file for the Nautilus icon on the Launcher (e.g. I've
changed "org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop" to "nautilus.desktop".

2) Start dconf Editor, go to com.canonical.unity.launcher and add the
new entry to the list of "favorites".

  HOW TO REPRODUCE

  1. Connect a removable media to the computer.

  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

  - One way to navigate between windows at this moment is to use the
  "control + tabulation" key combination, or to click again on the

  Volume's launcher icon or scrolling on the Files icon

  but to the latest opened Files window.
