Nemo forked with Nautilus 3.4 |
Though it is better looking and consistency with other GNOME apps, omitting of its features including compact view, tree view in sidebar, extra pane, and many other features available in its predecessor that are considered important features for many users, now needs a replacement to the nautilus.
Ubuntu team has decided to stick with Nautilus 3.4 for its upcoming Ubuntu 12.10. Other Linux distro, Linux Mint team has had even more further move, by forking it, creating Nemo, a Nautilus 3.4 fork that keep its features, with some other useful addition. Nemo installation will also add some other features like Cinnamon Desktop etc.
Nemo has following new features :
- All the features Nautilus 3.4 had and which are missing in Nautilus 3.6 (all desktop icons, compact view, etc..)
- Open in terminal (this is part of Nemo itself)
- Open as root (this is also part of Nemo)
- File operations progress information (when you copy/move files you can see the percentage and info about the operation on the window title and so also in your window list)
- Proper GTK bookmarks management
- Full navigation options (back, forward, up, refresh)
- Ability to toggle between the path entry and the path breadcrumb widgets
- A lot more configuration options
Install Nemo in Ubuntu 12.04 (Go through your terminal)
