[Ayatana] buttons in file browser

[James Jenner <james.g.jenner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I just noticed last night that the tool bar for the file browser under unity (I presume this is nautilus) has gone for 11.10. Obviously this is intentional but does anyone know why?

The only reason I ask is that when working with large file sets I often switch between icon or detail view, based on the nature of the files I'm viewing (with photography sometimes I'm concerned about the file size, sometimes I care about the extension and sometimes I'm interested in the preview). I'm sure there is a keyboard short cut to change this, but it took me a good minute or two to figure out where I can change the view from icons to detail and back again. I found the menu initially confusing and wasn't sure if I was to right mouse click on the top of the window, on the files pane or to go to the global menu or where I could change the order. I'm sure I will get used to it, just curious why the very useful toolbar was removed.

Cheers,

James.
