Messages : 283 		I wanted just shortcut to my home folder. I dragged and dropped my home folder from the applications menu, but CD (trying to help me) inserted the Folder applet. Since I just needed the shortcut, I added a custom launcher named "Home" calling Nautilus:

  • Right-click on the dock -> Add -> Custom launcher
  • Name: Home
  • Command: nautilus "/home/my_user_name"

@ fabounet: why not adding a dialog to choose if the user want to use the Folder applet or not?

is there not already a dialog to ask if the user wants to import the folder content ?
the Folder applet can also be used as a mere launcher (no sub-dock).
I think this is slightly better than a launcher, because it will use the correct file manager, and it won't take an indicator when it's clicked.

No, if I drop a folder into the dock, there is no message.

Yes but the folder is next to the applets. But ok, the user can move it but there is no message to use it as a launcher or as a watcher.

ok I should add it then (thought it was already done )

I guess because you separated applets from launchers ? this is the reason why I've changed this behavior in all our themes to "don't separate anything"
