new arch user, horrible nautilus!

[savagenator]

Hello everyone.

I just installed Arch64, and Its working great. A lot of control over the system, pretty fun to use I have a problem though. When I used Ubuntu I enjoyed a feature rich nautilus with a sidebar explorer and a bar telling me where I was, now I have none of that in arch, and I do not know why. can anyone point me in the right direction and show me how i can get away from the featureless nautilus?

Also my programs load from the hard disk every time I open them, I need to fix that somehow...

All the features should be there the two I believe your looking for are within View.

View > Side Pane
View > Location Bar

I don't know about the second one I don't seem to have that problem.

ps
There's a Arch subforum here in (other OS talk) if you don't know. :)

Moved to the Arch Subforum.

Yeah, I forgot about the Arch Subforum

But now, I dont have that option. And I dont have the area where it says "/home/user/Desktop" towards the top

Maybe I misunderstood something happens mostly because I am not a native English speaker I think. ;)

I am just going to try again if I did get it right. Don't you have something like -File | Edit | View- in the toolbar when you open nautilus?
If you do have a look under View I still think that's what you are looking for. No?

Edit --> Preferences --> Behavior --> Always open in browser Windows

Tick the box.

Fixed. :)

Arhh, forgot about that one :) I should have remembered because I spend a good deal of time looking for it. :D

thank you very much! That really didn't make any sense, but thank you!

I had the same problem, the solution:

open gconf-editor, go / > apps > nautilus > preferences and check the `always_use_browser`

It worked for me.

That's how I have to do it in Sabayon.

I'm using Openbox & a directory utility in under Arch though.
