This is ridiculous.
If that's an upstream decision, it is a WRONG one and a bug should be filed
upstream, and watched from here.
Either that or nautilus must definitely be replaced in Ubuntu with a decent
file browser, which wouldn't be a bad idea given what it has become lately
(consider for example the removal of the familiar
consistent-with-everything-else-in-ubuntu menu, now dismembered into a number
of buttons here and there, and other usability regressions that have appeared
in the recent versions).
There's absolutely no reason why opening a folder in a new window should be any
less immediate than opening it in a new tab. It's inconsistent and nonsense.
Why opening a folder in a new window is "something they don't want to
encourage" is beyond me. Having folders open in separate windows allow you to
drag and drop items from a folder to another, something it's much more
cumbersome to do with only tabs in one window (it obliges you to copy, then
navigate, then paste). You can open a new window anyway, and then navigate into
the folder, so why on earth shouldn't be able to do that with a single
right-click+open-in-new-window?
Pure nonsense.
