Icon browsing
With 9.10, in 'Launcher properties' if I click on the icon I get a window
entitled 'Browse icons' that shows all the icons in the directory listed at the top. If I click on the 'Browse' button, to see other directories, all I get is an empty window with no icons. Does anyone else get this? It looks like a bug, but I may be doing something daft. Basically, I'm just trying to find the old icon for an app because someone, somewhere, in their wisdom, thought it would be nice to confuse me by producing a new one. ;-) - Richard. -- Richard Kimber Political Science Resources http://www.PoliticsResources.net/ -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

I had this yesterday, you have to click open and the icons will show in the Browse Icon window. It does look like a bug, I don't see why only folders should show in that window. I’ll have a look round for a bug against this. -- Steve -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

I’ve obviously not done a lot of icon hunting in the past as I’d never noticed it before. It’s not a major problem, it just makes things a bit more frustrating. -- Steve -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

When I was not used to it, I thought something was wrong, but now, that I know about it, it doesn't even get frustrating anymore, but I wouldn't mind if they changed this behavior. The current behavior might scare some beginner back to Windows, I guess… Johnny Rosenberg > > -- > Steve -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

It does look like poor design, rather than a bug. - Richard. -- Richard Kimber Political Science Resources http://www.PoliticsResources.net/ -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

I’ve had a quick root round Launchpad and it looks like there’s only me and thee that have problems :-) Others comment on the fact that it is obvious you have to click the icon on the properties dialog to get to the icon browser. I'll have a better look tomorrow and if nobody has reported it I’ll report it as it is a bit confusing when no icons show up. -- Steve -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
