Gnome 3 and Nautilus Elementary
Is it possible to make Gnome 3 play nice with Nautilus Elementary? I really don't like the look of Nautilus 3, especially the lack of "compact layout" option. However with Nautilus Elementary installed, certain programs don't work (File-Roller and the screenshot utility), I assume because it hasn't been updated for Gnome 3.
There is no system but GNU and Linux is one of its kernels.

Re: Gnome 3 and Nautilus Elementary
nautilus elementary use gtk2 and gnome3 gtk3. so if you install (i tried) nautilus elementary will look ugly because gtk3 themes not compatibility. but elementary team released new version of their gtk theme compatible with gtk3 but i didnt try??

Re: Gnome 3 and Nautilus Elementary
I'm not having any problems with the theme -- it retained the theme settings from before upgrading to Gnome 3. Are there plans to upgrade Nautiilus Elementary for version 3?

Re: Gnome 3 and Nautilus Elementary
I think they stopped development of Nautilus Elementary and are instead focusing efforts on making their own file manager, Marlin:

That's what I thought, but I also heard they decided to continue developing Nautilus-E. Maybe just for the straggler distros who don't want to upgrade to Gnome 3.

They did continue it for a while, I am not sure if its being actively developed for much longer though. They are now working on a whole new file browser called marlin.

Re: Gnome 3 and Nautilus Elementary
Anyone tested this lately? Would really like to have the nautilus-elementary package but I can't find any official, and the AURs are reported to be buggy. I've seen screenshots where people seems to have gnome 3 with this functioning, but that might be a hack from the developers..
The nautilus shipped with Gnome 3 takes an awfull lots of vertical space..
