How To Stop nautilus From Opening New Windows While File Browsing
« on: October 18, 2005, 07:26:29 PM »

Nautilus has 2 modes for file browsing, Spatial and Navigational.

Spatial causes new windows to be opened as you descend into the file tree.

Navigational causes Nautilus to use the same window instead of opening new ones.

The default mode for Nautilus in Mandriva is Spatial. If you wish to change that behavior to Navigational then use the following code as a normal user:

Code:
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser true

Thanks to Grangin for this tip.
