Re: Gnome Nautilus: How to Open Same Folder in Same Window
Hi forks, Thank you very much for your patient answers. I think that is not a big deal, just a habit related thing. Thank you all again. Cheers, Kejia Kejia wrote: Hi all, I am not meaning the Nautilus spatial window. Now, when I click the same folder twice, there are two windows for the same folder. Is it possible to configure nautilus so as to only show the open existed window of one folder rather than to open the second one? Thanks a lot for any suggestion.

From: Kejia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Gnome Nautilus: How to Open Same Folder in Same Window Hi, My steps: 0) Show the Desktop, and there is one folder A; 1) Double click folder A's icon and open the folder A in the window #1; 2) Show the Desktop; 3) Double click folder A's icon again, but this time a new window is open to show folder A's content. We call the second one as window #2. Window #1 and window #2 are two different windows. And I prefer window #1 is refocused on when I double click folder A's icon again. Thank you for your endless patience! I can not replicate that experience, but after searching Google I found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/120746 It sounds like it might be related. Do you have Nautilus default to list mode? What version of Nautilus are you using? The link has problems starting at version 2.21.90 and fixed in 2.23.2 for Ubuntu (probably doesn't correlate to Debian). I am using 2.20.0-7 on Debian Lenny and don't see your problem. Hope this helps. Have fun! ~S~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cheers, Kejia I am not sure what you mean by spatial window. But I think what your talking about, is that Nautilus is not browsing. Nautilus can be set to browser mode by clicking; Edit\ Prefrences\, selecting the Behavior\ tab and checking the Always open in brower window.

Optimus Prime -- I *think* that what he meant by spatial window was opening in the same window. So that suggestion helps with opening the directory in the same spatial window but not what OP was asking about. If I understand correctly, when you open directory A you get a window. When you open subdirectory B, you get another window. Then you open B again and you get a second B window. Correct? If so, I think you have a bug. When I open A then B the graphic for the B folder icon changes. When I try to open B again, it takes me to the already open B window. If B is on another workspace, then the window flashes in the application bar and clicking on it takes me to that workspace. I tested on Lenny (64 and 32 bit) and Etch (32bit) and it works the same on all three systems. If I understand your problem correctly, then I would make sure you have the latest updates and file a bug report. If I misunderstood you and have it all wrong, sorry.

Re: Gnome Nautilus: How to Open Same Folder in Same Window
Hi all, Thank you very much for every reply. I think I ignored one important point: my problem is on folders appearing on gnome user's Desktop. Yes, I use browsing mode, but for folders on Desktop ... . You may try. Any further suggestions? Thanks. Stackpole, Chris wrote: From: P.

Thanks. My previous statement of opening a folder and having the icon change still applies to the desktop. It works the same for me. Will you do us (and yourself) a favor and detail exactly what steps we need to do to recreate your problem? For example, here is what I did to test: 1) Right click on desktop and select New Folder. Call it A. 2) Open folder by double clicking on it. Minimize it. 3) With the first window Open, double click the icon again. For me the first window reopens. so forth and so on... Because when I tested it, it always signaled the already open window to reappear. I might not be testing the same steps you are.

Gnome Nautilus: How to Open Same Folder in Same Window
Hi all, I am not meaning the Nautilus spatial window. Now, when I click the same folder twice, there are two windows for the same folder. Is it possible to configure nautilus so as to only show the open existed window of one folder rather than to open the second one? Thanks a lot for any suggestion.
