Missing entry in context menu for « starring » an item in Nautilus 46 / Ubuntu 24.04

[Coeur Noir]

Hi !

For few months I'm getting used to « starred » items in Nautilus / Ubuntu 22.04.

To my surprise I can't find how to do the same in 24.04,

looks like the option for « starring » an element is missing in context menu.

It's a default install of 24.04 hence « minimal » so maybe I'm missing a package ?

Open the properties and then click on the star in the top corner.

What ?

Ok now it's buried one click further, therefore almost invisible.

That may not be a bug but a counter-intuitive « new » way.

So is there a method to add back an entry for « starring an item » into the ( right-click ) context-menu ?
That would make this feature « faster » reachable.

[Khalid Abu Shawarib (khalid-shawarib)]

I marked it as invalid because your original post was a support request. You should change the title and description to ask for an addition of a feature rather than asking how to use it.

At any rate, feature requests are better discussed in GNOME Discourse and Gitlab rather than here.

Oh ok, sorry.

If marked invalid then other people affected by this bug-not-but-regression might miss a hint.
