As with my previous email (selection/"keyboardability" issues), there's a core functionality in Nautilus that I think might merit a refinement.
Since Nautilus is being positioned as more of a power-user's tool, and now defaults upstream to opening browser windows, I'd expect that list view might become all the more popular. For several versions of Nautilus, the list view has allowed the user to "unfold" folders and view their contents, without navigating to them. This is similar to Apple's Finder view, with the exception that the state of the folded/unfolded folders is not saved. There is a bug which was filed last year, but relates to persistence within a single window: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586067 I propose that this could be extended to a more permanent solution, with state saved to disk as is done with emblems (see the bug for my suggestion). Looking forward to any comments, insights, and maybe even patches. :-) - John -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
