After many delays I upgraded to Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 (instead of fresh
installation), and everything went well. I did the purge, although the
installation process apparently would have taken care of it anyway. When
using the upgraded file manager ('Files'), I noticed that F3 doesn't
give you the split window view anymore. I thought that the shortcut key
must have changed, and looked for the new one. After some searching and
googling I found out to my amazement that the whole feature was removed
(among other features) – I can't understand why. At this stage I
remembered Dominik's suggestion to use the Solus OS fork of Nautilus,
and that brought back the split view and other missing functionality.
Thanks for help everyone!

You won't get what you want out of Nautilus. It's the same
non-functional version in both Gnome 3.6 and 3.8. What you will need
to do in order to retain functionality is install the Solus fork:

This works very well, in my experience. Thank God for the Solus fork;
I was really floundering with the new Nautilus. Even the keystroke
shortcuts were changed. My "automatic fingers" for renaming a file,
for example, didn't work any more. Constant friction.

I think I'll try upgrading first, because it seems feasible, and
if problems occur, I'll do a fresh install. I'll run /ppa-purge
ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3/, and then do the installation. I think I'm
going to stay with GNOME 3.6 (because the older version of
Nautilus has more of the functionality that I want). I assume
Gnome3 PPA won't be there unless I put it in. Am I right?
