Nautilus Enhancements

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.

Seconded!

Quite amusing, I ran into this very thing. Well quite similar... I copied my DOS games from CD (to use with DOSBox), and needless to say some things break and no saving in dir can be made... Anytime people copy documents or perhaps images in sub folders from CD this will happen... and yes it's annoying to copy the path then cd there in terminal and look up which chmod I'd need (so much so that I still haven't done it). I would imagine some sort of checkbox in properties that would say include sub dirs. I really doubt that could confuse someone since you'd have to be in the properties dialog and playing with write permissions...
