Comment 32 for bug 885738

>> we don't, and that's not the case, there is probably cases where the same user will use a lens once for a specific reason and where it will use it several times for some reasons,

But imo that has been made the case here. It is suggested that the user opens the dash to always search and thus this has been made the default by always going back to the home lens.

To my understanding this behavior has been inherited from natty. As the apps and file lens were very difficult to use. So everyone just prefered not to waste time and search anyway instead of trying to use them. Now they are indeed easy and a lot more usable thanks to filters, filter-memory and other improvements.

users actually want to use theses lenses now not just search.

>> there is not way to determine that from the software

Maybe it could be determined. If the user has *actively* switched to a specific lens then it has already been determined that he/she wants to use that lens.

If the user wants to use the home lens he/she would just click on the home icon.

I mean if am using nautilus, minimize and then restore, i would like it to remember the last place i was browsing. I dont expect it to be a new instance (and back to home folder) everytime i restore it.

same with a website (i.e. amazon) if am browsing X department and i minimize and restore , i expect to be in the same place. If am lost and want to go to amazon home, i click on home.

this is how i feel with the dash. Is like i minimized it or switch to another app and then when i go back is like if it were a new instance... not remembering were i was.

am not sure how to put it, but thats the only feedback i can give you. Or maybe am just sounding confusing?

>> it seems that users who use the same lens again and again should just add it to their launcher.

sorry, is a good feature, but i would prefer not to add them to the launcher as mine is already pretty cluttered and i dont use them that frequently... but the days i do i have to access some of them multiple times in a short time period.

So i dont think it would work for me if am just using it heavily one day of the week ;/
