Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

1. Click Places->Computer

The Ubuntu partition is just named "filesystem." It would be nice if it made more of an effort to help users distinguish between say, their ubuntu partition, and their windows partition. Simply naming it "Ubuntu" would be more helpful, but it'd also be nice to give it an altered HD icon that has the ubuntu logo on the top of the disk.

And of course it'd be uber cool if the same was done for other OSes (windows logo for ntfs partitions, mac os logo for HFS, etc.) but that takes this from a usability bug report to a wishlist ;P

I like the idea of assigning a default ubuntu logo to the Computer/root filesystem, but allow the logo to also be customised through the gnomevfs.

I think the appropriate name would be the machine's name.

This could also generalise, having other icons for other machines, and also having icons for groups of networks.

Thank you for your bug. That's a feature request, and should probably be done upstream, opening an upstream task so it's on the list of request to forward for the bugsquad

Linking upstream. The upstream report contains to parts, maybe someone can split it.
