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.

The best would be giving all

The best would be giving all that options to user, without clutering apps and the overall Desktop. This could be achieved by simple keys in gconf.

Maybe the problem of gnome developers ins't clutering the desktop but the extra workload that implementing more features and choices would bring!
