If Nautilus would save the searchresults some time (e.g. one hour or until the pc is shutting down; but how long it saves the results isn't important for this idea), Nautilus would not have to search again. So it would be faster.

You know that app in the places menu, that is a really fast searching tool, and for some reason nautilus is much less effective than it, so the functionality of that app (the speed) could simply be added to nautilus.

We need a good integration of a desktop search engine into GNOME. The current situation is, that we have different search engines, that are all not very well-integrated. E.g. it would be nice, when searching a term with tracker inside a PDF file, that the search term got automatically higlighted in evince.

Also the performance and memory usage of the desktop search enignes are quite bad.

- Beagle provides fast access and gives good search results, but uses lots of memory

- Tracker doesn't provide good search results (e.g. it is not possible to search for partial terms), is not very fast. The only good thing is, that it uses less memory

Both search engines are working too much on the disk. The problem is, that the inotify framework of the kernel is not the right thing for search engines. It needs to discover all files before observing them - instead of providing a listener to all file accesses...

also after switching view (for example list view) after searching some file, it starts to search for the exact same file and the exact same results all over again: this is a really annoying and a true waste of time

Delete those items (if the test pilot study showed the same results for others) and exted firefox with something like a menu editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/710

It should be possible to set the volume of the starting sound independently of the normal sound volume. Then, it would not be too loud or low, no matter what you set the volume to the day before. There would of course have to be an option to make it use the normal sound volume, should anyone want that.

Replace the english plugins by language specific plugins if they exist. If you chose an english installation install the english plugins, if you chose german installation german plugins.

e.g.
english:
http://www.amazon.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/
http://www.ebay.com/

german:
http://www.amazon.de/
http://de.wikipedia.org/
http://www.ebay.de/

edit: just found the launchpad bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-firefox-locale-all/+bug/52537

If the plugins are set at the installation, what if your share your computer with a foreigner? move to another country? etc?

Maybe ubufox should do the trick.

Since the BBC news are interesting to me, they are not very usefull for the average user and should be replaced by local news. The string "Latest Headlines" should be localized too.

The enumerator and the denominator should be aligned in the center of the fraction although the fraction itself can be aligned to the left.

For some websites I like to have the website in the awesomebar, but not the single pages.

e.g. I want to have google, but not google searches in my history. So I'd like to add google to the blacklist. Google websites would not appear in the history.

I don't want those 404 - page could not be found - messages in my history. 500 - internal server error would be another message I would not like to have in my history.

Don't get me wrong - I want Firefox to decide with the response code weather to add it to the history, not with the title.

When I start Synaptic a root prompt asks for my root passwort. If Nautilus did the same for files I want to delete where the owner is root or gedit / kate would ask for root password if I want to save a file with owner root it would be great.

At the moment I open those programs with Alt+F2 "gksu" or in the console with "sudo" like "sudo rm -r /home/moose/.local/share/Trash/files/2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0"

There is already a Nautilus script which allows you to right-click the protected file and select "Open as Administrator". It is just like running gksu on the file.

sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu

If no visual effect is used (as in my screenshot) Totem should automatically use the given space and Totem should not display this useless placeholder. A placeholder can be used ... but if there is a horizontal scrollbar the placeholder should disappear and this space should be used by the playlist.

If no sidebar is used you could even minimize Totem more

Those pictures should only visualize what I mean and Totem shouldn't look like this ... they are just made by GIMP and I think there could also be many improvements
