Hi,<br><br>After 3 years of discussion it looks like Ubuntu is still going to ship with empty "Create Document" menu in Nautilus. This menu should be populated which choices "Create text file", "Create OpenOffice Writer document" and so on.<br>
<br>Bug #23332 was marked as invalid.<br><br><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/23332">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/23332</a><br><br>and here is discussion about the matter <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2008-June/msg00123.html">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2008-June/msg00123.html</a> <br>
<br>This is one of these things were discussion led to nowhere. The last word was "no we are not going to do anything for this because there could be possible abuse by software packagers and such". This is a bit unflattering for the end users. I'd rather have this very handy usability feature on the risk of hypothetical abuse. I can clean up my menu if my evil Linux software vendors try to clutter it up.<br>
<br>This is a very visible bug (feature) to all users coming from other operating systems/distributions. Could we at least remove "Create Document" menu if it's going to be unsupported?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>
