nautilus "go to" bar like in ubuntu

hello,

how do I get the "go to" bar like in ubuntu? (where it is possible to have tabs in the location OR the full path like in my screenshot)

secondo question: is split-view not yet implemented?

thanks

Re: nautilus "go to" bar like in ubuntu

i don't get it. what is that "go to" menu ? are you talking about location bar? split-view is on every distributions that have gnome/nautilus 2.30. there is nothing special here.

1) for the location bar: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gno … tion_entry
2) for extra pane, click on View->Extra pane or hit F3

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

CTRL+L to have location bar, and click into location bar then Esc to switch back to pathbar.

I mean having the location toolbar like this

and for the split view, I'm thinking of Mac/dolphin style...

So do I. FYI

/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry 
If set to true, then Nautilus browser windows will always use a textual input entry for the location toolbar, instead of the pathbar.

For the split view: F3

Since gnome 2.30, nautilus doesn't have an icon to switch the location type between using a text input entry and of a pathbar.

downgrade gnome...

CTRL+L has no effect...

ok the button is deprecated, but it was a nice feature

You can set up the default behavior with gconf.
If I click to the text in the location bar and press Esc, I get back the pathbar.
