Nautilus 1.0 Released Unto The World

Revista do Linux writes "The final (1.0) version of Nautilus was released this morning. Binaries are available for RedHat 6.x and 7.x, everyone else should try the source code. This version includes a "preview" of the Eazel Services, which includes, among other things, a virtual disk. Grab your copy at the Eazel homepage." The download page has RPMs for RH 6.1/2, and 7. They've also got source that you can download as well If you want to check it out before downloading the demo page is pretty cool - but it looks like the server might be a wee bit overtaxed.

Comments

More info on the software, please?

[Brento]

I say this over and over, but when we're playing Freshmeat, could we at least get a single line explaining what the software does?

Really, folks, I'm not trolling. I just don't have the time to stay up on this stuff, and it would help immensely if I knew what it was. I know, some kharma whore is going to come on after me and reply with a ten line description, complete with the author's birthdate, but all we really need is a single quick line in the news headline.

If it's not a distro, it needs an explanation. (And even some distros need a note!!)

Knee Jerk

So many comments on how Nautilus isn't useful for the true 7eet or even the common user...by self-avowed non-Nautilus users.

I never understood how people can comment on something before even trying it. The pre-releases from a couple days ago aren't as good as what is available now.

The installer works like a charm for RH6/7 users, so that should cover many folks. Source is available for everyone else, with packages showing up over the next few days.

Eazel services are damn nice.

The browser integration works well, though it will make some folks cringe in parts (right clicking on links does nothing for me).

Throughout the whole program are nice touches that are well thought out; side panel tabs, icon stretching, text-in-icon, multiple data-specific views, ...

Is it 'too simple'? YES! Is that a bad thing? Gripe gripe gripe...but can you code? Do you have alternate tools? If so, what's so satisfying about complaining?

warning: Make sure you get 1.0, not PR3

[Skeezix]

The download pages for Redhat 6.x and Redhat 7 currently link to PR3 RPMs. I'm sure this will change soon. But until then, use the Redhat 6.x Installer or the Redhat 7 Installer. Or you can grab hourly builds.

You're welcome.

Hi,
Nautilus is a all-in-one explorer (files, web, etc.).
It requires Gnome 1.2.
The closest linux alternative is Konqueror which requires at least kde 2.0.
Go to Eazel's web site for some screenshots.

Re:command line Vs. file browser

I agree completely. Some features I would love to see in graphical file management tools (I know some have these, but ALL should):
- Directory compare
- "Copy to" (and TYPE the destination with autocomplete, screw click and drag.)
- Bulk rename *.rtf -> *.txt etc...
- Filter a directory view by rex exp
- Click and drag files without having to open two different directory views (if I drag and hold over a folder long enough it should open)
- An easy way to bookmark locations in the file system.
- Search and replace in files (text files only of course)
- A simple "move directory up tree" function
- Select files by rex exp filter.
- built in pseudo-command line where I could control the graphical view with typed text, for example "cd .." "filter a*.rtf" "select b*" "copy dude.rtf .."
