Hi Nautilus-developers,
today I came across a news article that mentioned among other changes
related to GNOME 3.5.4 that the extra-pane-mode will be removed in the
new version of Nautilus. Since I use the extra-pane mode on a daily
basis I first couldn't believe that such a handy feature should be
removed - but after some research I found that it is indeed going to
be removed: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676858.
In my humble opinion the saying "It's not a bug - it's a feature"
couldn't be more true in this case. Of course the support for the
extra-pane-mode might cause some code complexity. But actually an easy
way to copy or move files/directories from one location to another
should be regarded as a core feature for a *file manager* like
Nautilus. Of course I could instead open two Nautilus windows and
place them on the left and right side using GNOME shell's "autosnap"
feature. But compared to simply clicking "F3" this is quite
cumbersome. So I really hope that this decision will be revisited
again - at least in future releases. Otherwise Nautilus will become
less usable for me. For
Hi Thomas!
For moving files from one location from another there is now "Move To"
in the context menu.
Extra pane was awesome in some respects, but also had a lot of bugs and
some interaction hierarchy issues. There are also bugs open to improve
the autosnap feature, and we need all the help we can get if someone
wants to help with patches for this.
