I fail to see how changing the nautilus default to browser mode doesn't
do exactly what the OP asked for. It certainly works for me.

For this one, try shift+double-click. It opens the folder in a new
window and closes the former one (what a strange and funny behaviour!).

I have just installed thunar and it seems a pretty good match to my
requirements at least, thank you. It doesn't try and take over the
world in quite the way that nautilus does either.



I used to think the ultimate evolution of Gnome would be a desktop
which displayed a single 'Off' button. Thanks to your post I now
realise they're actually moving towards a 'Global domination'
button.

Subject: Nautilus annoyances - can configuration change these, if so how?


To: fedora-list@redhat.com Message-ID:
<20080131102046.GA1665@th-shell-1.gradwell.net> Content-Type:
text/plain; charset=us-ascii I tend to use the command line most of
the time but I occasionally use Nautilus when, for example, I'm
housekeeping image files and it's useful to be able to see the images.
However, for me, nautilus has some very annoying defaults and I'm
wondering if they can be changed, i.e. :- Nautilus opens a new window
for every directory, this rapidly gets annoying with deep hierarchies.
Is the

Install Gnome Configuration Editor

Configuration Editor > / > apps > nautilus > preferences :
Check "always_use_browser"

done.


re an option to get Nautilus to open a new directory/folder in the
*same* window? (Windows can do it, when using XP I always have this
option set) When using the File - Open Location option nautilus
defaults the location to the home directory *and* selects it so that
it overwrites what's in the clipboard. This is *intensely* annoying if
you have just carefully selected the directory you want to go to (in
another window) and have put it in the copy buffer already. Can I turn
off the auto-entry of the home directory and/or the automatic
selection of the text?

Not sure, check the preferences in Config editor
