I upgraded to xubuntu 12.1, and the expanded File System problem not only remained, but all partition listings were duplicated both on the desktop and the sidepane!

So I followed the instructions...

1) I profoundly dislike the 'feature' in Unity that requires you to look at a directory window in either 'Places' or 'Tree' mode, neither which is fully functional. They should be combined, but if...

LewisTM: Ooops. My bad. I will go back and jump thru the required hoops.

That said, there is a little part of me that still believes that software with the design intent of making the humble...

OK, LewisTM, I will do so. One of the update items listed in the link provided by Frogs Hair mentions "Select problems have been fixed." I hope it does not include the multiselect in the directory...

Yes, Mick, my view is set to 'tree' as I noted in the first post. I find Thunar 1.23 allows me to use the 'tree' view for everything I need, but I don't care to look at all the obligatory folders in...

Tags, yes! When you consider the power of tags, a folder based paradigm seems to be antiquated, with its genesis in physical file drawer folders with pieces of paper in them.

The xerox copier...

Switching to Xubuntu has been an improvement over Ubuntu: I like getting the scrollwheel back to switch workspaces (or just mousing over to one!)

Also, Xubuntu is fully functional in Viewing the...

I am also having flash (gnash) plugin problems with Xubuntu 12.04: At one point, everything worked, and I thought the situation was resolved, but no flash content will play at all. Before switching...

Installing Xubuntu 12.04 totally solved the issues I was having with Gimp, but opened a new can of worms: playing flash files (gnash) is now broken. I have tried everything, and Synaptic won't even...

Thank you GordThompson and pqwoerituytrueiwoq. I will go into dconf-editor and give it a try.

But first I am going to do an install of Xubuntu. I burned a live CD and tried it, and while it...

No, pierceTN, I have not tried minimizing Gimp. Another disturbing behavior is that when it launches, the tools window is mostly down in the lower workspace and I have to do 'Super-S' to grab it and...

I found a workaround for Shotwell going into an endless loop writing tags to JPGs.

Go to 'Edit/Preferences/Library/Metadata' and toggle the tag writing checkbox to off. When you toggle it back...

Actually, 'Always on top' did NOT fix the behavior.

Now that USB flash drives are becoming larger, I have put 4 partitions on a flashdrive. My problem is that they all mount on insertion, cluttering the screen with their windows. Using...

No, actually my main concern with Shotwell is that it folds a few seconds after launch, but I have about had it with Shotwell.

On another computer, with another set of photos, it is losing tags,...

I then tried to re-install everything with a '!' in the status indicator, and since that is really tedious, stopped at F. Not everything can be re-installed:

W: Failed to fetch...

Thank you, Azertyfred. I should have thought of doing that. At any rate, here is the result from that and I am still in the woods:

~$ shotwell
shotwell: tiffcomposite.cpp:1032: virtual uint32_t...

Shotwell was working fine in 12.04 LTS, but now, after spending hours tagging about 1,000 pix, it opens, shows a window of tagged pix, then promptly folds. I had it set to write the meta data to...

After getting the problem alert for a while, it has stopped appearing. However, the windows have all lost their borders, and can no longer be resized (the cursor never changes to resize mode when...

Oh, duh. Yes, 'always on top' might fix that. Thanks!

Update 121024: My problem was due to plugging the micro SD card into an external USB multicard reader, which sometimes gives me 'read only' problems. Plugging the card (in its adapter) directly into...

Update 121025: Screenshot of first dialog box uploaded. Second dialog box dims the screen and asks: "Please enter your password to access problem reports of system programs" <Field for entering...

When the home folder sidebar view is set to 'Tree', other partitions on the HDD are completely invisible (they are visible in the 'Places' view).

They are not found in 'media' nor in 'mnt' (they...

I have 2 problems with Gimp under 12.04.

First, frequently just after saving a image, it folds.

Second, whenever I use a tool, the image editing window becomes deselected, and takes with it...

In Mac OS 8 or so, if you put an alias of a hard drive into your Apple menu folder in the System folder, and enabled hierarchical menus, you could click on the Apple menu and then sweep down to any...
