However, there is still a bug that has been around for ages which sometimes locks up the icon container when resizing in a specific manner. It just seems to affect text-besides-icon, so it wasn't really noticed before. > So is it possible to get an Ubuntu Hardy .deb with this working?

You just have to find somebody who ports back a few trunk patch sets. However, there is still a bug that has been around for ages which sometimes locks up the icon container when resizing in a specific manner. It just seems to affect text-besides-icon, so it wasn’t really noticed before.

Now, if that were paired with a preference to NOT remember each folder's view settings - just like on Windows - then Nautilus would become, to me, without fault. That and it's a bit odd that the view selector is on the address lane, and not the toolbar, but hey, it works. And I did try to do those things myself, but my C is so-so, and GTK+ code is... daunting? YES!!!

I just modified the behavior. You will see half the vertical space between icons (compared to the screenshot), and we will not request padding space below each column. Mårten:

I just love all GVFS work of Nautilus! I am looking forward to seeing a faster, more stable and more robust file manager. Keep up the good work, I don't know much about coding so I will try my best to help fix non-coding related bugs. Perfecto! I just love all GVFS work of Nautilus!
