Open the Nautilus preferences, the behaviour tab has an always open in browser windows option, tick it. You're right that it sucks, though. It's a file browser, it's not a file manager. I wish there were something like the DOPus 5 for Windows, for Linux. One feature I'd particularly like to find in a file manager is filtering which hides things that don't match your filter. e.g. You'd hide all files that don't match *something*, then you can look through a short list for what you want to work with. Opening files, if you want to. Checking out the others in your short list, without it resetting itself. Nautilus has a select by pattern feature, but it cancels the moment you use any file it's selected, and you have to retype the pattern in again. Not to mention that it starts from the top of the selection, again, and you have all the other things you don't want to look at still in the lister window. No the command line is NOT better than the GUI, but many of the GUIs in Linux programs do leave a lot to be desired. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
