Well, to be honest whilst the new Nautilus does fix the horrible chopped down toolbar, which was causing all kinds of issues with most of the themes (light-themes included) and the back and forward are where they should be - on the left it causes two problems: A) It has no menubar, but rather a sup

the fact is that I am only PHP / ACTIONSCRIPT guy - so I don't know well about GTK but should be easy to create another application called DESKTOP MANAGER - based on FILEMANAGER which would have separate settings for desktop items (icons / panels / etc) - that mean the desktop could be easy to man

meh file managers are so 1995, if they wanted to make another file manager from scratch, would probably be cooler to add browsing, bread crumbs and some other options to the file-lens and convert it to the file-manager-lens :) Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 12:21:46 +0300 From: motors...@gmail.com To:

Not to detract from current conversation, but how is calling an app that deals solely with files by the name Files bad? It is simple and descriptive. If I were new, I would feel less confused by a name like Files, which states the exact nature of the application, than by something as nondescript an

Of course applications should be smart about this, and your average user shouldn't need to delve into the file manager too much, but many of us don't want to rely on applications automatically managing our files and still use the file manager plenty :) On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 12:51 AM, cmaglothin
