Marlin is still rough around the edges, but it has a very beautiful and
usable interface, and some good features. IMO it should be considered for
inclusion in future ubuntu releases (I doubt it would be ready enough for
12.10). IMO we should probably stick to a patched nautilus for now, and

Hello,
The missing (and removed, not just hidden) features in the new Nautilus
that Ubuntu has imho to "patch" :
- Extra Pane Mode (F3)
- Status bar : for me it is absolutely necessary and useful to know in
just one second number of elements in a folder and free space available,
without hav
The three things that Marlin misses are:
A) Stability
B) Split screen (multiple panes) ... maybe?
C) Ability to "draw the desktop' (e.g. desktop icons, right click on
desktop -> context menu)
I believe (could be wrong) that those can be solved for 12.10 if the work
starts soon enough.
And yeah, Xa

To be honest, there is so much work to be done in nautilus 3.6 that I find
it hard to believe if it is even a choice here -_-

SolusOS has the right idea i think and are wighting patches for nautilus
to make it a little less annoying. Taking similar approach would take
less manpower and would provide more stability than jumping to one of
these other managers.

Hi Omar,
Another nice mockup with good ideas, I have to say.
I like how the trash can and the workplace switcher are done in the
second link on second picture. The trash can is always annoying me in
the current implementation, it doesn't have a nice icon and the space in
that corner of the screen
