0. Close all existing nautilus/file manager instances.
1. Plug in a usb device that has one or more mountable drives.
NOTE: Ubuntu automounts these drives (my device has two in this case), opens the drives in nautilus and adds them to the launcher, bringing the nautilus windows to the front (but see [Bug 887292] -- nautilus windows from newly opened usb drives don't appear in the menu, but are on the foreground).
2. Move the mouse over the launcher area.
NOTE: There is now a media player icon for each usb drive that has been mounted, none of which have the glyph to indicate that there is an instance of this launcher program running. However, there are for the Files launcher (aligning with the number of usb drives connected in (1)).
NOTE: This is confusing to me as Unity performed the jiggling icon animation for the two usb drives to indicate new items in the launcher and has the drives listed in the launcher. I would expect that these nautilus instances would be associated with their corresponding usb drive.
3. Press the mouse button on one of the usb drives added in (1).
NOTE: The files launcher now has an extra instance indicator (mine is at 3, from 2), while the usb drive still does not have any.

To Reproduce
0. Close all existing nautilus/file manager instances.
1. Plug in a usb device that has one or more mountable drives.
2. Move the mouse over the launcher area
3. Click on the USB icon at the bottom of the Launcher
What currently incorrectly happens:
- Ever time you click on the USB Launcher icon a new window is spawned!
------------------------------------
Desired solution:
When the user clicks on the USB drive icon in the Launcher:
- If the USB drive window is in focus, nothing should happen. This is irrespective of whether there are any other Nautilus windows open.
- If the USB drive window is not in focus, it should be brought into focus
- If the user middle clicks on the USB drive window, a second window representing the USB drive should be created.
- If the USB drive window is in focus, and a second (or more) window(s) representing the USB drive is open, clicking on the USB launcher icon should trigger a spread of *just the USB* windows (excluding any Nautilus windows).
Note 1: any Nautilus window that is currently displaying the contents of the USB drive, is classified as representing the USB drive. This is irrespective of how the Nautilus window was opened.
Note 2: If there are two or more USB drives, the windows are associated with the USB drive they are currently displaying. |
