Comment 11 for bug 40872

Hello Brett,

DId you read my earlier comment on this bug report?

I think I addressed all the issues you raised. I'd add one feature possibility
to my earlier comments. That is, it would be great (since so many people seem
attached to resizable icons and image previews) to have all the
unstretched, regularly
sized icons arranged in a regular grid to the left of all resized
icons and previews.
This way, all the icons that can be displayed together in a regular
grid will be.
Also, I personally feel very strongly that the Gnome desktop should have an
"auto-rearrange" option, where anything that changes the desktop icons
(hotplugging,
device removal, drag/drop of icons, and adding/removing desktop icons, cause
all the icons to be rearranged and refreshed. As it is, I have to
select rearrange from
the desktop context menu every time. This is a bother and a usability problem.

Since I made similar comments years ago, I have pretty much given up trying
to get developers to make any of these changes. It just doesn't seem to be a
priority for them.
