I tried the "open two instances" idea. It's a no-go unless you have infinite patience for adjusting window size and positions, and don't mind wasting the space for the fourth (second / extra) "places? column or covering it with the left side screen, and bouncing around to keep it covered. This almost falls under the category of "How to keep an idiot busy", except it's not quite a real infinite loop, just many iterations of "move this", "adjust that", "do the other...".
Pushing f3 is "only" one additional step, where there should be no extra steps. I think it's a real waste of time to not have the option to default to two windows at startup. It's only a preference, and Nautilus will open as a single window if it's not checked as a preference! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515057 Title: does not remember the adjustments of extra pane Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus If I am using extra pane and do some adjustments i.e. squeeze one pane and expand other this setting does not save so when i close nautilus and start it again those adjustments are resetted.
