Nautilus Enhancements

Nautilus
Nautilus

Some new enhancements are finding their way into Nautilus. The first is new tree functionality complete with auto-expand for dnd to the spatial Nautilus list view, much like what is seen here on a Mac. Nautilus now has the ability to create a new file when dragging and dropping text into a Nautilus window. The next enhancement is a patch that adds GTK2 Bookmarks like seen in the new GTK file chooser to Nautilus. Also this patch adds a new sidepanel plug-in for the Nautilus browser that mimics the GTK FileChooser. And finally this patch adds the pathbar as seen in the GTK2 file chooser to the Nautilus browser. Screenshot of the latter 2 features mentioned is here.

It has been open for years yes. How often do people need to do a recursive chmod though? I'll give you a hint, close to never. Those that do need to do it often I will hazard a guess are system admins, who know how to use the terminal. As such while it is needed it is probably not a high priority with developers.
