meh file managers are so 1995, if they wanted to make another  file manager from scratch, would probably be cooler to add browsing, bread crumbs and some other options to the file-lens and convert it to the file-manager-lens :)

Subject: Re: [Unity-design] Worrying nautilus development direction, New default file manager?

Well, to be honest whilst the new Nautilus does fix the horrible chopped down toolbar, which was causing all kinds of issues with most of the themes (light-themes included) and the back and forward are where they should be - on the left it causes two problems:
A) It has no menubar, but rather a super menu gear button on the right, hence no HUD supportB) Tree view and extra pane have been removedMarlin is no way near stable and can't even draw the desktop (which is essential for Unity), so at its current state it can't be considered an alternative, so the simplest solutions I see are:
A) Patch Nautilus to have his HUD support backB) Help Marlin dev(s) to improve Marlin (stability and drawing the desktop)Surely there can be a new file manager built from scratch, but then again that ain't that simple, is it? :)
