If a user selects a number of files and select rename from the right click menu or press F2 and give a name to it(for example, 'image'), rename all the files in a numerical order(like 'image(1)', 'image(2)' and so on.

Building off of Solution #1 and jGleitz's comment:
When you go to batch rename multiple files a prompt pops up so you can cancel (ESC) or set options like the number of leading zeros.

I think it's nice to show a message to users in case of failure, however it would save time if the update-manager can just check other servers around if your local mirror is overloaded and proceed with the upgrade silently without bothering you.

Nevertheless as a last resource I agree that update-manager should show some sort of message to the user, but only in case that all the mirrors are collapsed or something like that.

Update manager should not be doing fall backs something without showing a message to the user that it does.
In this case the Update manager should pick another one until it has either found a working mirror or doesn't find one.
In the found a working mirror it displays a message to the user while continuing. (The message is for information not for confirmation.) And in the latter it's of course impossible to continue.

While Solutions #1 and #2 are good in general, it is not always appropriate to have the update manager automatically pull files from an alternate mirror without allowing the user input.

For instance, for some, there are limits to downloads from most mirrors, but unlimited downloads from certain ISP-related mirrors. This occurs with Telstra in Australia, where file downloads from the AARNet Mirror are unlimited. For large updates, a switch to a different mirror could result in a significant dent in the download limit for the user. However, for small updates, the user might not be overly concerned, and may allow it anyway.

Which of the approaches to use could be set on first use of the Update manager, with "Silent" being the default option (as many users do not require information on alternate mirror usage at all) and the other options being "Automatic", "Manual", and "Off", with obvious meanings.

When the user freshly installs Ubuntu, or upgrades from a prior distribution, there often are teething problems. Four weeks is generally a good time span to iron them out.

Prompt the user roughly four weeks after a fresh installation or a distribution upgrade with a simple window, something along the lines of:

To help the community find out about hardware compatibility and fix driver problems, we would like to perform some Ubuntu system tests. The tests will take 15 minutes or less. All you need do is let the program run the tests for you, and tell the program which of the tests worked.
* Yes, please run it now
* Please remind me later
* No thanks (do not remind me again)

I'm representative of aerse.com.

Aerse is a Database that contains specifications of mobile phones, computer hardware components and other electronic devices.

Having open API allows us to get compatibility data for every hardware component we have. Aerse provides general hardware information (CPU, RAM etc) and could additionally provide Ubuntu support, i.e. "OS: Ubuntu 12.04"

API pseudocode example:
List getUbuntuSupportVersions(String modelName, String vendorName);

There are a lot of content providers like Aerse on the market. For example, the biggest is http://www.icecat.biz/

It is possible to reach them and promote Ubuntu support API.

Having open API will help to reach retailer's PIM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_information_management ) systems hence spread the word about Ubuntu compatibility.

I think you can have a Own Section in The SystemSettings Programm!
A section "Notification"!
Herr you can Turn on and Turn of The Notification for every Programm.
For Example: You don't like The Notifications from Rythmbox, then you Turn Off "Rythmbox".
But The other Notifications of The other Programms are activated!

The message menu will have an area above the Ubuntu One section called "Notifications" that will display every notification the user had in a given amount of time. Say, we could store the notifications of the last 10 minutes. If you miss a notification, you can always go there and look for it. If you disable the notifications to do work, they will always be there.

Think of this like the "transmission" area or something that expands as soon as it is used.
Gwibber notifications will not be stored, since you could always open the application itself and read your Twitter feed, but they will stop appearing.

How this will work? Simple. The user clicks "Occupied" on the message menu and then he/she will see a notification bubble saying: "You have currently set up your status as Occupied. All your notifications will be stored in the message menu". When the user sets the status back to "Available", everything goes back to normal.

Also, the message menu should have a counter near it so the user can know that something awaits his attention.

Disk
Shows disk vendor, mobel, size, and other information about this.

Network
Shows network adapters information (see example on first picture). "Settings" button open "Network" app for charge properties.

USB Devices, shows:
Connected USB devices.

Operation System, shows:
Version (example 11.10)
Codename (example Oneiric Ocelot)
Kernel Version (example 3.0.0-12-generic)
Hostname
Uptime (shows results of comand "uptime")

Upon installation or right thereafter the fixed mount point devices (NOT random removable media,etc..) should be scanned and catched , so that the dash could be used to do a full search for files (because now it's just silly , to search in some recent files- not useless , but not fully functional) .
To make this option better - there should be a simple configuration of folders to include or exclude of scanning . And also a rescan option .

I realize that the command line locate command isn't always ideal for this, because when the files are changing a lot the user would need to run updatedb repeatedly, which often isn't an option because it requires super user privileges. Could a limited updatedb, that only scans inside the user's own directories, be made available to the user. Then have the dash-search able to run this limited updatedb and to run a locate, perhaps as an alternative to the current search function?

Once the database has been updated, setting inotify (or incron or equivalent) to watch for changed files is efficient. The database does not have to search for changes, but instead will respond to changes when they happen.

The database need search for changes only if the partition has been changed by something when the database has not been active (e.g. when using a Live CD or after using Recovery mode).

This gives you the best of both worlds: comprehensive, always up-to-date, and fast.
