When I open a mounted drive, it is opened in Nautilus, is it not? So
then why would it not show that window under the Nautilus icon? That's
the mental association I make, anyway: if it's a folder, it's under the
Nautilus icon. Now, I have to stop and remember in what device the
folder in question is, so that I can determine which icon I should click
to bring that window to front.

If there is an option to make it group all Nautilus windows under the
Nautilus icon, I'd very much like to know how to enable it. If there
isn't one, I for one think there should be.

Regarding tabs, I'd rather have different windows (grouped under the
Nautilus icon), instead of multiple tabs in the same window. That way I
can go to the Nautilus window with the folder I want from Alt-Tab or the
Nautilus icon, instead of having to switch to Nautilus and then to the
tab I want. I have been using Ubuntu for years, and I could count in the
fingers of one hand how many times I actually opened a new tab in an
existing Nautilus window.

Then again, I have no problem with tabs on my web browser (more often
than not I have a single browser window with several tabs), so maybe
it's just a matter of getting used to using tabs instead of separate
windows.

Still, having all Nautilus windows under a single icon on Unity (even if
as an option that is disabled by default) is a must, IMO.
