Media in 'Places' side bar should have same context menu as in 'Computer'

disk space information is available just fine for me. Are you on hardy?

Yes, I am on hardy.

How is it available to you?
And why, do you (personally, from your own usage experience) think, should the context menu in "Computer" and the "Places" side bar not be the same?

may you provide an screenshot? thanks.

Okay. So first, there is the context menu for a device as shown in nautilus' "Computer" view.

In the second screenshot, you can see the (totally incomplete, imho) context menu for the same device in the "Places" side bar. Especially the "Properties" ("Eigenschaften") menu item is missing.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

The other bug is only regarding the side bar tree view, while this bug is about the places side bar places view.

Those are not the same context menus!

Therefore, I don't regard this a duplicate of Bug #19598.

To see what I mean, open a nautilus window, chose the places view to be shown in the sidebar and right-click one of your devices in the sidebar.
Then, chose the tree view in the side bar and repeat the above. You will see two totally different context menus. Once #19598 is fixed, #230098 still is not.

could you open a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org then? that's an upstream issue and the ubuntu team doesn't have the ressources to work on such changes right now

Sure. How do I open a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org?

you can use this url http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=nautilus to register the bug

any news? did you open the bug upstream?

No, sorry. I've been to Italy for quite some time and just returning.

Forwarded as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546189

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

This is not a small/easy fix... This need to be done upstream. Not a papercut

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

I'm out of the office until 1st August.
