Comment 26 for bug 1026254

@Lonnie: you seem to be a power user and have your workflow, that's fine but that's just an anecdotic example ;-)

Just as a counter-example, I've been using Ubuntu for 10 years, I do use nautilus to manage files but I've used that feature.
- I access music albums or photo collections through rhythmbox or shotwell usually.
- If you double click on an image it opens in eog which has a "gallery" which lists all the images from the current directory
- you can easily dnd a directory to totem, or open the directory, select all and right-click/open with

Everyone has a different workflow I guess ;-)

Note that you wrote "For the sake of intuitiveness, always provide a contextual menu for each element graphically displayed", user testing shows that context menu are not "intuitive" for most users.

As written on one of the duplicate, there is no right/wrong there, but a balance between too many options making the menu difficult to parse/use and having the useful options easily available.

I'm unsure how used that feature is/how good the workaround are considered by most user (dnd, select-all -> right click on the selection) and I don't know if we have a good way to get useful datas on such questions...
