What was the reason again for not having expanders? That's a tree structure with possibly little vertical space, so I can imagine expanders to be quite useful for people having lots of devices and/or bookmarks. I am talking about expanders like in a GtkTreeView, not the "+/- in the headings" thing as in Elementary. Other than that, I agree to the design in your [4]. > * Zoom slider: this is something that Elementary have implemented.

I don't have an oppinion on that, but this slider always seemed to be the one constant in all redesign-mockups. :-) > * View switcher: Elementary have a kind of grouped toggle button for > this, which could be nice to have in Nautilus, but the implementation > is a bit problematic. kitkat from the elementary crew has recommended > that we should steer clear of their implementation.

Before doing an isle solution for Nautilus, that should be clarified. > * Undo/Redo functionality: Elementary currently have this working and > they've pointed us to the latest code [6]. It would be great if we > could draw on this work. That patch mostly looks like the work from Amos Brocco in bug 167501 [1]. There's an updated version from A. Walton at that report. Though I still think general purpose undo/redo stack management should live in GTK+ (or glib/gio; bug 322194 [2]), I absolutely agree that having undo/redo functionality would be _highly_ desirable.
