Subject: Nautilus annoyances - can configuration change these, if so how?

text/plain; charset=us-ascii I tend to use the command line most of
the time but I occasionally use Nautilus when, for example, I'm
housekeeping image files and it's useful to be able to see the images.
However, for me, nautilus has some very annoying defaults and I'm
wondering if they can be changed, i.e. :- Nautilus opens a new window
for every directory, this rapidly gets annoying with deep hierarchies.
Is the
Install Gnome Configuration Editor
Configuration Editor > / > apps > nautilus > preferences :
Check "always_use_browser"
done.
re an option to get Nautilus to open a new directory/folder in the
*same* window? (Windows can do it, when using XP I always have this
option set) When using the File - Open Location option nautilus
defaults the location to the home directory *and* selects it so that
it overwrites what's in the clipboard. This is *intensely* annoying if
you have just carefully selected the directory you want to go to (in
another window) and have put it in the copy buffer already. Can I turn
off the auto-entry of the home directory and/or the automatic
selection of the text?

Not sure, check the preferences in Config editor
