I often feel like could leverage right click in it's UI a lot more, all I can do if I right click on an app icon for example is open a new window, pin to dash and app details. App details is relatively useless because it's build into the Software Center and only recognizes apps installed from their, a "go to files" button is missing which would be very helpful, I can't hide a app from there using the GUI and for open Windows there is no right click to E.g. force quit or similar.

@gamey Do you mean specifically right-click on app launcher icons in GNOME Shell's dash or apps grid? If so, there are only a few usecases I was able to imagine among the apps I use...

GNOME Calendar being one of them: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1187
GTG being another: https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/issues/1047

Patches welcome 👀

@gamey Hmm, well the window manager will already prompt you with a modal dialog offering to kill any with an unresponsive mainloop though, so nontechnical users don't need to be fishing for that in a right-click menu (which would not be something even I would have naturally thought to do), I think.

As for hiding an app from the apps list, neither Android nor iOS (last time I tried them) allow you to do that, AFAIK; if you want it gone from the general apps list, you uninstall it, no? 🤔

@gamey Oh, I see what you mean with the "it's a pain to go fishing through ~/.var/app/ " (though Nautilus' search helps). Kind of an advanced user usecase though.

Have you tried the "Warehouse" app? I suspect you'll love it. It has that "Open User Data Folder" shortcut, and much more: https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.flattool.Warehouse

@gamey Oh I see… well, about hiding "minions" apps, my workaround would be to group them into an app folder (dragging them on top of each other) and name that folder "junkyard" 😆 that's the kind of cheating I do on mobile OSes sometimes for infrequent apps…

I wish GNOME Shell's folders grouping interaction was improved though, it has many papercuts that make it not very efficient.

As the team keeps making progress in refactoring and optimizing , we can see 's file manager steadily becoming faster.

Among the few performance issues remaining, I believe the probable "Final Boss" of search performance is this issue, which would require some refactoring across the views. Anyone up for a challenge? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/3452

Alors, il y a un truc qui me dépasse avec et : Parfois, quand je boot et que je me log dans ma session, tout est nickel, le touchpad de mon Thinkpad fonctionne nickel : le touch to click, to select et to drag, Jean Passe (force à lui) et des meilleurs... Et... Parfois non, il n'enregistre plus tous les inputs, le drag et le select ne fonctionne juste plus (bref, tout ce qui est à base de double tap en somme). Incompréhensible.

@loptimist @mzfbee J'ai remarqué que ça fait ça quand le touchpad est mouillé, même après l'avoir essuyé, me faut parfois un suspend+resume pour que ça marche à nouveau.
