It appears Gnome devs have removed my ability to type in the folder that I want to go to; there's no more "location field" as it were, either in Fedora or Arch:
There is also no option to change it anywhere that I can find.
That really ticks me off. WTF were they thinking???

Re: Nautilus. Now I'm just mad.
Sure it is! Just highlight a folder and start typing, then the field will become visible at the bottom right

Re: Nautilus. Now I'm just mad.
Naw, man, I gotta have it for the location field! That only works for the folder you're in! Sometimes I'm off to /usr/thisorthat, or /var/lib/thisandthat. This sucks, I tell ya! Sucks! I wanna type in where I wanna go, and be able to go there with just the enter key!

Re: Nautilus. Now I'm just mad.
Hmm seems I have not used it like you do - I don't miss a thing. It is no different in Mandriva. Well I am sorry for you of course, and KDE in ARCH is actually coming along nicely.

It's a file BROWSER. I should be able to BROWSE my files.

Re: Nautilus. Now I'm just mad. Topic is solved
Just spotted a link to this post on twitter, had some time so thought I would reply. I thought this was a little irritating when Nautilus changed this. It is easily fixed however.
Open a terminal window and enter:
If this does not fix it, for whatever reason, hit Alt+F2 and run 'gconf-editor' and look under /apps/nautilus/preferences/ for that entry.
Open a terminal window and enter:
Code: Select all
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry true

Re: Nautilus. Now I'm just mad.
Thanks so much! Will give it a go.
Edit: You are a GOD. May I follow you? <3 Thank you! Worked.
Your site's really cool, too. http://www.rickvause.com/ for those into Gnome (among other things).

I've had chance to use this again, this time in Arch. I'm thinking about making this a sticky so it's easily accessible when needed. I've also moved to Tips 'n Tricks. Boss, if you disagree with my decision either on the move, or on the Sticky, feel free to change it (but please make it to where it stays easily accessible). Thanks.

Re: [solved] Nautilus. I'm MAD. [It's an oversight, I'm sure
If you run gconf-editor, you get a tree-style configuration view of this stuff to edit. If you look in /desktop/interface you can make some handy desktop tweaks for gnome like buttons_have_icons etc
You can use gconftool-2 to edit these on the command line.

Nice tips, and they do all work - so you are promoted to Viking.
Dedanna: good decision there (And I would not dare to cross you anyway )

LOL. You can y'know, and I'll respect your wishes any day of the week. You've been very kind to me.
