Previously, you had to: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
gconf-editor=>apps=>nautilus=>preferences=>check 'Always use browser' |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
.. and you can still do that. |
| 19 |
|

But now, you can also just use the Preferences in Nautilus itself: |
| 21 |

Essentially, you want to turn off the "Spatial Nautilus" function (which |
| 32 |
opens every folder in a new window, because somehow that's supposed to |
| 33 |
make more sense to people), and return to the 'old' behaviour (browser), |
| 34 |
which is what this does (because so many people did not like the new |
| 35 |
behaviour, and objected to it only being changeable in gconf-editor, |
| 36 |
which is not the most intuitive of tools). |
