I am now (3.8.0-26-generic, nautilus 3.6.3) experiencing the same problem: Only in icon view I can open a context menu with "new directory"; in the list view I get only the concerning file's menu. The mentioned work-around does not work for me: The "File" menu in the menu bar does not contain a "new directory" (or "create directory") item either. It's not a permission problem; the icon view gives me a "new directory", and in the shell I could create the directory without problems.

Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus Situation: I've got installed the package which provides an "open-terminal here" functionality for folders. If Symbol-View is choosen, I can right-click into the empty space between the symbols to open the context menu for that current folder. There it is also possible to create a new folder. Problem: I use the List-View most of the time. Using that, I cannot find any empty space to right-click on for opening the desired popup menu for the current folder. All I can get is the file-based popupmenu. Solution: Workaround: The menu per-folder is accessible via the File-Menu. Better solutions: Make the Popupmenu for the current folder accessible in a better way. Perhaps you can merge it with the File-Menu. Or make it available when clicking on folders in the treeview.
