I find it most useful, since I know for sure that if a folder has been opened to show the contents of a directory, then that folder will always represent that particular directory. > I know most seasoned linux/unix users will use a terminal to navigate > between dirs I am, by all means, a "seasoned" Linux user, but Nautilus became usable for me only when implemented this neat feature.

There's a menu item for this (File → Close parent folders, Shift + Ctrl + W), and you don't even have to do it, because most of the time, if you have to descend a tree of directories, you can use Shift + Click or Shift + Enter, which will open a child folder while closing the parent one. > Any particular reason why this is the default behaviour vs the broswer > mode? > Btw, NOI to anyone, just a curious really... As a person whom I know would say: you are guilty of sadism, bestiality and necrophilia, as you are flogging a dead horse. ;-) Ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi - Log: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list gnome-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
