Gnome Switches Nautilus Back To Browser Mode

Posted by timothy on from the open-in-new-window dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In one of the do-the-developers-actually-use-their-own-software decisions in the Linux Desktop World, back in 2004 Gnome switched to the 'Spatial' view by default with their Nautilus file manager opening a new window with each new folder viewed. Many derided the decision as poor design or as being different for the sake of being different. Well, after five long years the Gnome powers that be have decided to switch back to browser mode."

    Yes, they have copied the "split view" (one of the killer features of Norton Commander/Midnight Commander).

    Fixed that for you.
