It's ok. Referring to the image, I will explain: 1) - main toolbar: has lots of rarely clicked buttons: stop (only for network drives), home (present in the places sidebar), computer (the places sidebar). - places toolbar: move the view options somewhere else, they have nothing to do with locations + the toolbars can be merged to not waste vertical space (panels have a bigger horizontal resolution): back, forward, refresh (not so sure about it, I've never used it), location bar.
2) make use of the little bar which is displayed when some special operations can be done in a directory (empty the trash, start the video player, start the photo editor). Since this bar is present, we can also put very common operations inside (when you use a filemanager you are always looking for those items), so these are some examples: + if nothing is selected: new file, new directory, paste + if a file is selected: open with X, Y, ..., open with...(browse), copy, cut, trash + if a dir is selected: go, copy, cut, paste inside, trash + (not a good option, sorry) the view selector was moved here, but it should be moved near the zoom controls 3) + the search button does no more changes the location entry to a search entry (very confusing) and it is now removed, exchanged with a separate always visilble search entry (like rhythmbox to be more clear). 4) + the status bar can be used to add view controls ala openoffice -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
