Hi, I have looked at Gnome Nautilus documentation online and can't find this anywhere. Sorry if this alreayd covered in the mail archive but I can't find a facility to search the archive. Back to base question. 1. How do I set up Gnome Nautilus so that for every new folder I create, the default behaiour when I open the folder is to open a window that have the file hierarchy in the left-hand pane? This make navigation and actions on files so, so much easier. The default behaviour of Nautilus on my system is to open a new window for each folder link and no folder hierarchy can be created in the left-hand pane. This presentation is horrible and useless. Even Windows XP is better in its presentation of folder navigation under Explorer 2. When I open File manager / Nautilus, is it possible to set it up so that when I RIGHT click on a folder in the hierachy I can select to SEARCH that folder and all its sub folders? OK, there is the search application available in Gnome. But it is clumsy to move between Nautilus and Search to perform a file operation (Search) that should so obviously be part of the Nauilus File Manager. Maybe the search function is there in File Manager and I just can't see it. I think this sepearate behaviour is also the way WinXP Explorer works, but Gnome should be better than that. Thanks in advance Clive
