Hello, We would like to know if some of you use Nautilus groups functionality: dynamic groups: 'Last modified packages', 'Most viewed classes', 'Work' user defined groups : from the menu, you can flatten the content of many packages and get all classes into the newly created group. We have the feeling that it is not used (or not a lot) and we think to replace it with another mechanism (for example, let the user define his/her 'favorites' classes / packages). Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Christophe, I do use groups a lot but not in Nautilus ;) Groups I use: package, class, hierarchy. More rarely: recent packages. Would I use groups in Nautilus the way the GUI is done? Probably not as much. Scoped browsing is harder to reach, scoped browser happens in the same browser and doesn't open a new one. Would I use groups if they require me to flag something per class? No, not worth the hassle. Do I know what is the benefit of groups in Nautilus? No, it's unclear. Groups do not seem to bring any benefit. Example : - Switched to group Last Modified Classes - searched implementors of #type: - expected list of implementors of #type in last modified classes - got implementors of #type in the whole world - Fail :( Thierry 2015-02-10 14:26 GMT+01:00 Christophe Demarey <christophe.demarey@inria.fr>:
