Spatial mess prevention
Posted by Jorge Bernal April 02, 2005
Today, at #ubuntu-motu, I noticed the last update of nautilus package:
nautilus (2.10.0-0ubuntu7) hoary; urgency=low
* debian/patches/02_ubuntuspatial.patch:
- changes to the spatial mode. Close the folders by default while browsing.
You can set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/no_ubuntu_spatial" to get the
previous spatial behaviour.

But I think, like quite others, that this behaviour may not be the best option. We could discuss that forever and lose a lot of our precious time.
Better than this, is to develop an alternative solution. Let the Technical Board, the sabdfl, or whoever has taken that decision happy, and let the user choose at the same time

The dpatch is at 02ubuntuspatial.patch, or a new version of nautilus at nautilus2.10.0-0ubuntu8.diff.gz. My changelog:
nautilus (2.10.0-0ubuntu8) hoary; urgency=low
* debian/patches/02_ubuntuspatial.patch:
- use more consistent names (close_previous_windows) and add a GUI option in
preferences dialog to set the default behaviour.
