Nautilus icon on launcher

[frepie]

Hi,
I am new to Ubuntu and I run the 12.04 lts version.
A few days ago, the nautilus icon on the laucher started to display a small "2" on top of it when a nautilus window was opened. I don't know why it started nor what it means.

See atteched screen grab below

Hello and Welcome

One possibility is that if you right click a folder to open it and select open in a new window you will have two Nautilus windows open and depending on icon set you will see a 2 or two arrow indicators. If you have set this as a preference in the file manager under Edit >Preferences >Behavior it can be disabled from there.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be that. The number "2" appears even when only 1 nautilus window is open. When a second window is open, 2 small triangles appear on the left side of the icon.

You can try the following command, but you will have to add all your favorite applications again.


unity --reset-icons

Try the following key binding also . The Windows Key is the super key on many keyboards. Ctrl + Super Key + D

I don't really understand what is the goal for your suggestions. I was merely asking for the meaning of this "2" added on top of the nautilus launcher icon. From what I tested, it is not to display the number of nautilus windows that are opened. Could it be that it indicates in what workspace the window is opened?

While I no longer use 12.04 can't recollect ever seeing. If you change workspaces does it change # ?

If you log in to a guest session is it there too?

If there is glitch in the in the launcher reseting the icons may resolve the problem . The key binding displays numbers on each application in the launcher and suggested it that for the same reason. I will test the workspace theory also. After opening Nautilus in multiple work spaces no number appeared and I am using 12.04 . I have never seen a number on the icon unless the key binding was used that is why a suspect a glitch of some kind.
