Yo; I just installed Fedora 2 a couple weeks ago (Former Mandrake/SuSE/Debian tinkerer... fairly new to Linux in general), and have been trying to give the default Windows95/Old Mac OS spread-out method of Nautilus's windows a chance... and am about to blow over the top. I find myself running "nautilus --browser"more and more often...
*How do I get Nautilus to run in browser mode by default, like it used to?* (The last version of RedHat I used was 8.0... and it was fine in this respect.) Do people really like the spread-out method that much? Or did RedHat make an executive decision... isn't this a community project? Bla. Just in case you hadn't got it, the Explorer-98 style (Side pane, address bar, navigation buttons) was an ADVANCEMENT over the Explorer-95 style, IMHO (Yes yes, I'm assuming that Microsoft was the first to make file managers act like web browsers, but I could be wrong, after all, have they ever inovated before?).
Thanx, ES
selct your start button (bottom left corner) goto -->System Tools --> Configuration Editor
select apps--> Nautilus-->Preferences
look for the key named "always_use_browser" select the box next to always_use_browser to enable it. read the message in the dialog box below after you enable it

Thankyou! Now I feel like I'm using a *real* operating system again ;-). Forgive me for my ranting, but I was becoming quite frustrated. While we're on configuring gnome... is there a way to, for example, set nautilus to use the flat-blue icons, but the rest of the system to use bluecurve? Sounds odd, but I like the bluecurve icons in everything... except their folder and file icons that pop up in Nautilus. cheerio, ES

Ahh, thanks. I was wondering this too. By the way, Eric, FC3 with Gnome 2.8 defaults to the browser mode automatically. It seems perhaps other people liked the browser mode better as well. Now why this isn't configurable in the "Preferences" for Nautilus is beyond me. Jonathan

here's some insight on spatial and browser mode, and a command to accomplish the same thing.
Their explanation makes sense, and i gave spatial a try, and my only problem is that it spawns so many windows, and once it records the geometry of a folder (length x width + X + Y), it will always follow it. I changed to browser mode, and fixed a geometry (600x400+0+0) by editing the icon that I use to launch nautilus most often. My only problem with this is that i lost some neat things from spatial view, and the toolbar, if i could make it smaller or remove it completely that would be awesome :-)

In FC3 you CAN change the behavior of Nautilus right from the preferences menu. Go to edit->preferences->behavior on the Nautilus menu bar. Check on "Always open in brower windows". You don't need to use the configuration manager for that anymore.

its very tiring to hear this boring argument. everybody assumes everything is ruled by redhat and no, community protect does not necessarily mean a democracy
Yeah, though it bugs me that Galeon has lost favor, and Firefox has been decided the replacement, I know deep-down Firefox has a better long-term view; the program's modularity and it's ability to run on MS/Mac/etc as well as the horde of Linux hardware is a long-term good idea. I just wish they'd look at Galeon's interface and emulate it a little closer, that's all.
