woohoo! go nautilus!
« on: September 04, 2012, 05:07:50 AM »
Yay! I've been bummed since nautilus dropped their hover-preview feature, which is great is you have lots of music, or you do recording, and have tons of auto-named wavs to wade thru.
I run lxde, but i installed nautilus the other day for its network ability, and discovered the hover-thing is WORKING again.
awesome. thank you nautilus-devs (or whoever's responsible)

Hi abstract - it seems that a new file manager named Nemo is being forked from the 3.4.x branch of Nautilus
================================================================
From heise

Apparently not content with the recent design changes to GNOME's Nautilus file manager, which removed functionality that some users deemed important...............

"The latest 3.5.x branch of Nautilus sports redesigned tool and menu bars but has also removed the dual pane, compact and sidebar views, the Go menu, and other features. Nemo currently includes very few visible changes from the 3.4.x branch of Nautilus, and the Linux Mint project has not yet officially announced what its plans for the new file manager entail, but it seems clear that its creation was prompted by the recent changes to Nautilus."
