Nautilus doesn't indicate that files are being loaded

[Feathertail]

PROBLEM

Unlike when you click on a folder (and the mouse cursor changes to the "loading" symbol), double-clicking on a PDF file or image to open it does not provide any visual feedback. The user is left wondering if her computer "got the message" at all, and may double-click multiple times, until it finally loads.

This problem also affects the following file types:

1. Document files opened by LibreOffice (although the LibreOffice splash screen indicates that the file is loading)
2. Text files opened in gedit
3. HTML files opened in the web browser

Further testing is recommended.

HOW TO REPRODUCE

1. Open a Nautilus window.
2. Double-click on a folder to open it. Note the visual feedback.
3. Double-click on a PDF document.
4. Double-click on a picture.
5. Repeat the process for the other file types indicated.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Nautilus will not leave users hanging, and will indicate -- as it does for double-clicking on folders -- that it's loading the thing that you clicked on.

Thank you for your bug report, do you mean that opening file doesn't trigger the startup notification (i.e the spinning cursor)? That's a known issue and duplicate

[Feathertail (feathertail-deactivatedaccount)]

That's correct, sorry. Please mark this bug as a duplicate of that one.
