What's the problem with a short 'df -h' ?
Takes one second...
Nothing, and it's more informative than an attached pic!

I spend periods of time where the amount of free space left on my HD is less
than 1GB and/or copying files to smallish USB sticks so the wife can watch
the content thereof. It's no service to me if I have to open a terminal and
type df -h everytime I wish to see how much space I have left.
Hm? Why would you use a terminal command? Just open the properties window and
it tells you the free space you have.

It just doesn't ever occur to me to find a UI alternative. If I can't see
what I want 'at a glance' I tend to go to the terminal. No idea why. Probably
because it's there.
The GNOME project removes unneeded features.
A status bar is not an unneeded feature, it's a vital part of a file manager.
Unless of course you were being sarcastic, in which case, I agree.
By the way, this is a free/libre software community, not an open source
community.
Yes, I'll go and
I wasn't being sarcastic. I don't think being able to always see the amount
of free space on your hard drive is a vital part of the file manager. I've
never made use of this kind of feature on any file manager I ever used. It's
not information I need to know often, and the information being
It wasn't removed for no reason. It was removed because GNOME doesn't need
it. GNOME uses a floating status bar that appears and disappears as needed.
For the record, the exact same thing happened with Firefox. As far as I can
tell, Abrowser 30 doesn't have any option to show a constant
Not to mention the waste of screen space!
Anyway, it is true that there is, now, no easy (0-click) way to know the
space left on a partition. The floating bar only gives the status of selected
files.
There is no Status Bar option in the View menu for Nautilus that I can see.
There is no start with status bar in that section of dconf on Trisquel 7.
I wouldn't be surprised if it has been moved to a separate plugin. If you
want to find out if this is the case, search the Trisquel package names for
nautilus. For example, you could do aptitude search nautilus in a
terminal, or you could use Synaptic's search feature.
Since Nautilus 3.6 the status bar was removed.

Just another example of the pig headed stupidity that infects the Gnome Devs.
Remove a feature for no reason - get howled at by users - completely ignore
them.
Eventually I'm expecting Gnome to be locked down completely, so that nothing
can be added, or changed or customised. At which point
Might as well join in on the screen shot fun.

Oooo! It's Celestia! :D
Have you used Space Engine? Disappointing it's only available on Windows.
Forgot to mention. I'm using the pcmanfm file manager in that shot. I can't
be doing with file managers that don't give an at a glance Space Left on

Nuffin special, but it does look good.
Very nice. It does look good! I like Gdesklets. I wonder if Conky will be
included in the repos when 7 comes out?
Thanks Magic Banana, I shall go have a look see!
So, do I have to add that Trisquel 6 repo to the repo's in 7?
