Description of Problem: When attempting to use nautilus for an weird purpose (managing files and directories...), I fired it up, picked the tree view to find a folder I wanted to delete. Then I selected that folder, and went to delete it... Except, there doesnt seem to be any obvious way to do that. The tree menu has no right click menus. I dont see any menu entries in the main menu bar for "delete folder" or equilivent. Right clicking on the icon view on the right doesnt show any folder related options. List view doesnt seem to include anything either. Zooming in doesnt offer me any more options. So, I'm sitting here, with two different views of a foler on my screen, and no way to do anything to it. So, I think "I'll go up, and then it will show the folder in the right, and then maybe I can right click on it and delete it" But hitting "up" causes the right side to show a list view. Except the order the files is show is not the older the directories are shown in the tree view. I've looked, but there doesnt appear to be any option to change the way the tree view sorts. (There is also, as best I can tell, no contextual way to get to any config info about the sidebars without digging though random menu items) So, after clicking "up" (which doesnt seem to allow be to reset it's keybings to the same used by say, netscape/mozilla/galeon, from which I would assume the notion of "back" and "up" were stolen from" And clicking sort by name, scrolling down till I found the folder, right clicking on the tiny little icon that doesnt give any indication that it's context menu is going to be any different that the rest of the "line" it is on, I can select "delete" Suggestions: make the tree view useful. 1. Add some rudimentary dir commands (delete, copy, sizeof(), etc) 2. Add support for having the tree view sorted by the same mechanism as the default list view Make the directory "right view" more useful 1. Include some directory options. Afterall, what I'm look at _is_ a directory. Right click context menus that included "delete directory" perhaps
Not going to hack this up and respin ;-) We'll see what we get with gnome 2.
