Re: Adding text to folder descriptions

[Barry Branham <bhb bbranham bestdsl net>]

I hadn't tried this 'Notes' feature before seeing this thread.  So I added a note to a folder but was a little surprised that the result was a 'note' added to the folder icon.  I expected to see a tooltip pop up with the note in it when I rolled the mouse over the icon.  Instead to see the note you apparently have to right-click back to the Properties/Notes tab.  Seems sort of cumbersome, wouldn't the tooltip be a good idea for displaying notes?
(I'm using FC2 with Gnome 2.6.)

I'm using Gnome 2.8.1 on Fedora rawhide. I was wondering if there was a
way to add text to folder descriptions. 
    

Right-click on a folder, and use the Notes tab?

  

What I'd like to do is incorporate descriptions of filesystem folders
into Nautilus, so users who go exploring outside their home directories
can understand the purpose of various Unix directories. Short, simple
descriptions of each directory's purpose (from the FHS obviously), that
I'd like to get this into the next-next version of RHEL / Fedora (and
mebbe Gnome). 
    

You could then add that to all the FHS based stuff, so when a user
browses /etc/ he/she will know what to do
