I just took a quick look at the screenshot, and my first impression is that of confusion. I see the Location entry indicating that the current directory is "/", but on either side of the pane I see two different directories and there is no apparent indication about which one is actually "/", and what the other one is. Can you explain the purpose of this feature in a little more detail, because I don't understand yet how it is useful. So far it just seems potentially confusing, at least to me. / Cody -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
