Wish Nautilus had more features found in Win7

[nrundy]

Some of the features found in Windows7 Explorer have proven to be handy. I find myself wishing Nautilus had them:

-Preview Pane
-ability to see if a folder is empty or full by looking at it
-ability to sort items by Type in Categories so each type is demarcated from the others
-additional file sorting options in the List heading
-ability to see mp3 Title headings in the List heading

Don't forget the ability to lasso select files. Been waiting for years for that one. Why I use thunar

You can lasso select files in nautilus as long as you are not in list view!

hmm. I didn't know Win7 Explorer had the lasso feature. I'm gonna have to figure out how to use that. Sounds cool.

I wish Explorer to not hung/freeze
I wish Explorer to preview-play file when pointer is over file icon
I wish Explorer to have tabs and secondary panel view
I wish Explorer to not change access time while copying
I wish Explorer to have at least 1% of abilities that Filemaster had 15 years ago on Amiga being only 200kb executable

...I wish Nautilus to not become Explorer

Win7 file explorer annoys the hell out of me- if you have a file highlighted in explorer while editing it (e.g. double clicked it to edit) it won't let you save because it's "in use". Besides that, it crashes for me all the time, and is generally buggy.

Nautilus, Dolphin, Thunar... none of them go much beyond what the Windows 3.1 file manager could do. It's the one area where linux drastically trails behind Windows. No single file manager can do what Windows Explorer can do. Linux users have to bloat their systems with specialized file managers that, even when specialized, often lack features found in Windows Explorer.

Buaha ha, that's really funny, but fortuatelly You're just wrong. Have You tried Nautilus ever? Because it seems You haven't.
