I just accidentally clicked the “clear all” on the browser URL and wished that it was a bit harder to click but was still there. If it took three clicks to make happen, its still useful in most circumstances but would drastically drop the mistaken clicks
Anyway, what are your unpopular UI opinions?
You shouldn’t be able to save documents, or files of any kind, to your desktop. It should be a special place that allows application launchers and shortcuts to files, but not as an easy-to-find regular folder.
Can’t disagree more.
For linux users: Anything in the system (be it devices, interfaces, com-ports) is a file. So why may I only use the desktop for shortcuts?
For windows users: Why shouldn’t I be able to place a file in there? It’s just a pretty folder.
I think you should be able to do whatever you want, maybe by changing a setting or placing a convenient symlink to a more obscure directory or whatever.
But I also think the way desktop functionality has been implemented in various operating systems has prevented a whole lot of people from learning how to use a hierarchical filesystem.
It’s a user-education issue, and a lot of PC users still have no concept of storing files anywhere else but their desktop.
On that we can agree.
