Hi, all, Per André's request to post features for Gnome 3.2 - here goes.
A while ago I blogged about the problem of lack of circulation in our files, and posted a patch for Evince: http://people.gnome.org/~federico/news-2010-08.html#19 In summary, while one can go *down* in the file system hierarchy with Nautilus to open a file, one cannot go *up* from the opened file back into the file system (presumably to explore files that are "near" the one you had open). Firefox has an "Open in file manager" command for its downloads, which is pretty useful. I find Evince's "Open containing folder" command invaluable when I'm organizing PDFs to drag them to a better place. I think all apps that let you open documents or files should let you browse back to the file in the file manager. Akshay Gupta, in the CC for this mail, is my Summer of Code student who will be doing some things around file management, "Finding and Reminding" for gnome-shell, and such. One of his tasks is to produce patches for a few apps so that they have an "Open in file manager" command. Nautilus now lets us do this properly: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647204 So, what do you think? The patches for apps should be pretty small, and they really provide much better circulation within your files.
