For what it is worth this behaviour is useful although I'm a little skeptical of the proposed implementation which sounds complicated to use. I achieved a similar result in Microsoft Windows by searching for all the files in the current directory (by hitting Ctrl+F). This gives a list of the contents of the directory and subdirectories and when I'm done I close the search or move back to a standard view. Do more recent versions of Nautilus still not include a find/search tool? (I'm using quite an old version of Nautilus.) - Alan H. _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
