Description Lionel Le Folgoc 2010-01-10 11:10:00 CET
Hi,

(bug originally reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/314127)

The menus in View > Side Pane and View > Location Selector show check boxes instead of radio buttons, even though it is not possible to select multiple options.

I'm aware that this may be the least critical issue ever, if it is an issue at all. I haven't found any reports related to this, though.

Thanks!

(actually, it's more complicated like that since one can deselect both if she doesn't want anything, which can't be done with radio buttons, unless a "disable" choice is added.)

Radio buttons for location selector and side pane

Downside is that toggle the visibility of a view (Ctrl+T) is not working with radio buttons. This is much more important then the small design issue here.

The "Status" of this report is not ok.

The problem is still there and not "RESOLVED".

I understand the explanation and reason why this problem is still there. But that is not the point. There is a problem and a solution is always possible. We only have to find it.

So please keep this report OPEN.
