Public bug reported:
I wish that I could configure Naituls tab-titles to contain the full
path, or the right-most portion of the path (if the path is too long).
Instead of "Documents", I would prefer the tab to say "~/Documents/" or
"/home/lukescharf/Documents/" or "...arf/Documents/"
As a long-time Unix user who is trying to use Unity and trying to use
Nautilus for serious file-management for the first time (I used to
always use bash), the tabs just don't look like they have anything to do
with the filesystem if they don't have some slashes in them.
I understand that users who don't have years of shell experience under
their belts probably prefer existing tab-title format. Having this be
an option buried in the Nautilus preferences seems like a good way to
split the difference.
I really do like the way nautilus browses with the horizontal stack of
directory-buttons. Despite its lack of slashes, it looks like a
filesystem to me, and it looks like it should do pretty well in
usability trials. But I can't figure out a way to make that into a tab-
title. If anyone does figure out a way to do this, it would be the
perfect way to address the issue that I'm thinking about. And maybe
I'll learn to look for the existing tabs-titles over time.
This is a low priority issue, even on the wishlist, but I still thought
it was worth mentioning.
