Toot

Written by Allan Day on 2024-09-06 at 16:09

I've recently been working on designs for conflict handling in GNOME's Files app. (Like, what happens if you paste a file and an existing file has the same name.)

It took a few rounds of iteration, but I'm starting to feel happy with the result.

@allanday That looks amazing! 😍

I rarely used the merge option before, I never was super sure what it would do exactly, but that new design would make me use it frequently, such a great UI!

@laria @allanday Same here. It looks great but I would never click merge, because I don't understand what it does 🙈

@gu_stav @laria The info button contains a description of what merge does. It might be interesting to surface that somehow.

@allanday @laria Thank you Allan. That indeed explains it to me. The only thing I am wondering about whether I would click on merge without knowing the effects first (because the contextual help is nested within the tabs content), but I guess it is a behavioral one can learn.

Great work!

@allanday

Not sure, but is the second tab, merge with existing, not enough? If you can select for every individual file what to do? Only took a quick look at it.

@allanday the add to name one is really cool. This is one of those things, renaming many files at once to something more clear than ...(1) after things have gotten out of hand, that are just inaccessible to people not able to use the commandline.

@allanday makes me think a batch rename of files exposed in the nautilus UI would be really useful in general.

@pethil Yes the existing batch rename feature is a bit hidden, sadly.
