What’s New in 10.04

Ubuntu 10.04 has a redesigned Nautilus File Manager in which the following changes have been made (as shown in Figure 6-36):

  • The Zoom and Icon view controls have been moved from the directory bar to the main toolbar.

  • The graphic presentation has been slightly enhanced with the addition of a single pixel border around the window panes.

  • The lefthand pane has been enlarged by moving the Places title up to the directory bar and extending the pane all the way to the window bottom.

  • The Pencil icon for toggling between the text and button-based address bars is removed, so now the only ways to manually enter a location are to select Go Location or press either the / key or Ctrl-L.

  • Most of these changes seem to have been made to enable a new split view option, which you can call up either by pressing F3 or by selecting View Extra Pane. You then have two views open on the filesystem at the same time.
