Please do not subscribe people to bugs unless they work for you, or you
have their agreement, or they are your friends. It's considered rude.
Please unsubscribe the Canonical DX team from #609884, #114375, #601592,
#602156 and #609893. You may ping mpt on freenode and ask his opinion on
#609893 as I know he has an interest in that.

Thank you!

that's an upstream request. The Ubuntu team doesn't have the resources to work on that for the moment.If the Nautilus developers accept the change we can ship it otherwise i don't think we could spend efforts on this. There's an upstream bug about it here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558424 but no one commented on it yet, so it seems there's no real interest on it.

Sorry, I don't know about that. I think it's can be some sort of request for request.

Thanks for information! I already write e-mail to him.

"for work on that" I mean.

There's a patch for Nautilus on the opensolaris/sun site.
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/jds/spec-files/branches/gnome-2-24/patches/nautilus-13-zfs-snapshot.diff

All the things specific for ZFS will have to be changed of course, but maybe this could be helpful, because one doesn't need to re-do the whole user-interface thing?

It's been a while, nobody seemed to have cared about this anymore.
I for one started to take a closer look on btrfs and it's snapshot functionality is one of it's most interesting feature to me.
So it wasn't long before I was searching for this particular feature to be a part of nautilus.
This would be a great addition to Ubuntu and will certainly help the target user group a lot in data management.

Take a look at this, the work itself already has been done, perhaps it would be great to to include it in 14.04?
