The gnome devs decided for Gnome 2.6 that they needed a new nautilus browser mode: "Spatial" and make that default. I haven't found the reasons why they needed it and why they made it but it's clear to me now that they did it intentionally and probably don't intend to revert it: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.6/ it was one of the biggest features (aka failures) in gnome 2.6 There was also a person who didn't agree at it at that time along with a range of other gnome decisions and forked gnome into: "genome" which is dead at this moment. What i could find about genome is: http://www.akcaagac.com/index_goneme.html I agree with most of his opinions about gnome. I have those same opinions since i use it. Sad that i stepped in the linux world in about 2005. Fedora was the first linux os i could use although i mainly used windows back then.. just fedora a few hours a month! I also found a post from alexander larson with: "The future direction of the Nautilus UI" where he probably didn't made a line of the spatial mode yet but he is clearly talking about something like that. If you want to read it: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2002-September/msg00093.html So it's unlikely that we will ever see a +1 vote from that nautilus dev which is also a package maintainer for nautilus. His opinion is just the law regarding nautilus (so far for democracy! it more like the lonely tiran that rules it all). So in short. as long as the nautilus creator is also the maintainer and the inventor of spatial we probably won't see this default behaviour change. very sad but true! I'm gonna quit gnome with all that i know now. i don't want to use it anymore and be treated like an idiotic user (that's how gnome thinks, not me). i don't want to be a part of gnome anymore and i'm wondering what i should do with fedora. I want to keep RPM's but not fedora (mainly because of codecs but this thread play a part in it as well)... kinda hard. I'm gonna try to make my own file browser in QT (gtk sucks) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
