Hi, I feel bad asking for this info again. Holly or someone else here
told me what app to run a year ago but I don't seem to be able to
find my notes anymore. The effects of age I think...
I want to edit Gnome's configuration so that Nautilus opens new
folders in the same window but I'm not finding any config editor on
my machine who's name makes sense to fix this. What's it called these
days?
Thanks in advance, Mark
Previously, you had to:
gconf-editor=apps=nautilus=preferences=check 'Always use browser'
.. and you can still do that.
But now, you can also just use the Preferences in Nautilus itself:
BehaviorTab
The Behavior tab allows you to specify that Nautilus should Always
open in browser windows. If you check this option, opening a folder
displays the directory's contents in the current window. This
behavior may be more familiar to those users accustomed to using the
Start Here icon. You can also choose to include a delete option that
bypases the Trash bin.
Essentially, you want to turn off the Spatial Nautilus function (which
opens every folder in a new window, because somehow that's supposed to
make more sense to people), and return to the 'old' behaviour (browser),
which is what this does (because so many people did not like the new
behaviour, and objected to it only being changeable in gconf-editor,
which is not the most intuitive of tools).
HTH,
Holly
