Public bug reported:
after upgrading to 16.04 from 14.04, I found that all file open dialog
lost the address bar (location entry). The only thing to navigate
between folders is the breadcrumb bar. Every path change requires a
dozen of clicking, while before I could just paste the path and done.
This is a big inconvenience.
after googling, I found tones of reports to restore the location entry
using the below command
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
or
dconf write /org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/always-use-location-entry true
however, this fails to work on my system, I got
fangq@taote:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences
always-use-location-entry true
(process:11686): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf:
GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._g_2dfile_2derror_2dquark.Code4:
Failed to rename file '/home/users/fangq/.config/dconf/user.SO58SZ' to
'/home/users/fangq/.config/dconf/user': g_rename() failed: No such file
or directory
I would like to get a workaround to revert to the previous setting (either
location entry is displayed by default, or can be re-enabled by clicking a
button on the dialog). Also, I would suggest the developers to consider adding
this feature back. For people who use Linux a lot, clicking is just not fast
enough!
