I'm setting up Ubuntu for a couple who have very little knowledge of computers in general.
Instead of making them open nautilus to find their family photos and videos, is there an already made unity lens where the photos and videos can be browsed via the dash, and the filter options be the name of particular folders rather than "file types" or "date accessed" and "file size" ?
I'm finding Ubuntu Files to be very slow (Ubuntu seems slow in general). From what I've gathered it doesn't utilize an index. One workaround is to install the Recoll indexing app, and add 'unity-scope-recoll' from a ppa. This allows terms to be tested against the index and displayed in the lens.
If filenames are meaningful or you remember the name of the folder they are stored in, I think the usual File lens works fine and it would be very easy to handle even from elderly people. Using just that lens to navigate your files you don't have to care where are stored your files as long as you remember their names
