Ubuntu Brainstorm was updated in January 2009. Since the idea #15831 was submitted before this update, its rationale and solution are not separated. Please vote accordingly, and if you have the necessary rights, please separate the rationale from the solution. Thanks!

Why not create a graphical way to do all the same things?

If you want to filter the display or select all files of a certain type by using wildcards, there should be a quick graphical way to do it.

Similarly, instead of using grep, why not just allow Nautilus to search the contents of files and provide a list of matches in the list view?

Instead of typing arcane, undiscoverable command line switches (-r), we should have advanced search abilities with checkboxes for each option ([] Recursive).

Command lines are for programming, not for user interaction. Interfaces should be intuitive and discoverable.

Please read my presentation about an optimal file management:

That's an idea for Gnome 3.0
Thanks

Update: I posted another presentation for somebody who couldn't read the first.

GNOME is only file manager. It don't must be very optimal. Not. It must be optimal to do most popular tasks.

User can achieve many thinks by organize he's document. We can have This Task Documents folder for any program. All programs see different content inside. All documents are really stored in Documents(or all documents). We can go to oowriter documents by ~/Documents/oowrite-doc .
