If I disable compiz (System->Preferences->Appearance-Visual Effects->None) and then enable it again, the same features are not enabled.

Specifically, Desktop Wall is enabled and all of my Cube features are disabled.

Compiz should remember my previous settings instead of loading the default settings.

i am using gimp and kde4, when i have to edit some graphics on ftp server, i have to download it first to my local drive, and then edit it and upload again to server

this would be very nice feature if i could work directly on networks protocols like ftp or fish

it is possible in quanta, why it is not in gimp?

In most all sane text editors "find" includes "find & replace". Don't get me wrong, I love gedit, but I'd almost tempted file how it handles them separately as a bug.

It just doesn't make sense.



P.S. If you don't give this a +1, you're probably a mac user who doesn't even notice that your 'home' and 'end' keys aren't working right and so your opinion shouldn't count.

Create a website similar to the Mojave Experiment, except for Ubuntu. This is a great marketing idea. It would help show that Ubuntu is an easy to learn alternative to vista and xp.

This is a very useful feature i know from Mac OS X. You don't need to startup a burn app or add a disc first. In Mac OS X you select the files you want to burn, then the window tells you how much space you need on the disc.

I often have to copy folders somewhere and many times need to see how big certain folders are. Can they fit on my usb-stick? Which folder had the large size foto's in it? Which folder causes the heave use of storage? and more questions can easily be answered by this..

This should obviously be an optional collum when having detailed view in Nautilus as well.

I now always have to right click and select properties which is quite annoying if you need to check many folders..

The auto hibernate/shutdown needs to be made to work, there needs to be clear instruction in acpi-support/laptop tools conf file as to what is needed to get it to work and it should be clearly stated what Ubuntu disable in these files as reported in many forums.

One ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true, it should work with minimal fuss or edits/changes from user, as reported its intergration with GPM rarely works for most people without spending hours of stuffing around, and still then for many it doesn't work period, not even poping up a balloon saying critical battery.

Also the time and percentage remaining needs critical working, as neither work properly in ubuntu, polling times appear non existent. I could file this under bugs, but its more a brainstorm category to get it all changed once and for all to working, the best anyone from ubuntu can say is the batteries are old .. pppft! mines 8 months old, and it lasts 3 hours, thats hardly old.

It would like to be a good idea to integrate gtk-record-my-desktop functionality to standard Gnome Screenshot utility.

is possible to make a different icon for .deb files?
someting different from archive files.
deb files are the center of ubuntu/debian distros

someting like this: http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/6683/debsm1.png

Just right-click on the media, and click on "Rename Disk".

Screenshot program that can:

1) Draw Rectangular box
2) Screen shot of an individual window (or content in window)
3) Draw Custom shapes
4) Capture full motion (screencap)
etc...

Merge with a multi-image clipboard, ability to upload directly to web or transfer to other program.

Additional file formats .bmp, .jpg, .gif, (.flv, .mpg for screencap) etc...

Program should be native, not part of Compiz.

Right now, the boot menu has regular Ubuntu, recovery mode, and memtest. With just a simple Down arrow, someone can accidentally boot into recovery mode.

Perhaps we should make recovery mode a little less obvious. Is there some way to make a special key combination or something to access recovery mode? Mac OS X has you hold down Cmd-S during bootup to boot into single-user mode. I'm not sure if Grub can do this, but it'd be cool if it could.

The reasoning behind this is more user-friendliness. Users who aren't comfortable at the command prompt might accidentally end up there and not know what to do.

The added benefit is that those who need the illusion of better security would also stop complaining that the existence of recovery mode is a security problem.

When there is only one User on the Computer, the GDM Login makes no sense.

It makes the User think that his Data is secure while in fact it isn't as anybody can get root privileges choosing the recovery mode in grub or using a LiveCD ...

When we move data(files) there should be neat feature :
when you move files with the same name, you should be prompted to either overwrite the files, rename the new files or cancel the operation.
Skip file(s) can also be great,also prompt when duplicate file is seen with same file name also show information like Size and date of creation/modification of both files,if possible.

The new update on Ubuntu 8.04 shows you the multiple files uploaded when you drag and drop different files at different times.
A PAUSE button to pause the individual transfer would be nice.

When I now open a big PDF file with many pages it will take some time before the page is loaded.

Ya,surprisingly when ever you navigate from top to bottom:
computer>>media folder it shows device icons
when i browse some folder and press up goto /media folder it shows mounted devices as folder in /media forlder,which in case is very bad.a new user seeing this would be baffled somewhat,but i can explain to person who is next to me not every new person from windows background.
Take this in general that every device whether mounted or unmounted should show only there respective icons rather than folder icons.Like Cd/dvd media Icon for dvd writer/cd writer(actually in properties say no mounted volume when no cd/dvd is there in drive).show Harddisk icons both in computer or in /media folder.

May I can't start an wine application because some reason. In this case, wine should show an error. (GUI!)

e.g. "cannot find executable"
you only see this error on command line

I love firefox and i think it is better than konqueror, so if it is already as default on UBUNTU why not on Kubuntu? In order to achieve this they should be integrated. Read KDE wiki for more info.

''Firefox is a cross platform web browser, it's modular, has an active user base and motivated fan base, has many extensions and about 2.5 million lines of code.

KDE is also cross platform, modular, active user base, third party additions, 3.8 million lines of code. So quite some similarities.''

''Users like a consistent look and feel, UI configuration (colours and themes) should only be done once and shortcuts should be consistent.''

Search "Totem" and "totem" tags and you get different results.

Or clicking "Tags" vs. "tags" gives different results (see below).

Please make tag searches case-insensitive. They are far less effective if there are two sets of results for each tag.
