Here are some of the more interesting features of Nautilus:
Sidebar??”From the Browse Folder view described previously, select View???Side Pane
to have a sidebar appear in the left column of the screen. From the sidebar, you can
click a pull-down menu that represents different types of information you can select one
at a time.
The Tree tab, for example, shows a tree view of the directory structure, so you can easily
traverse your directories. The Notes tab lets you add notes that become associated with
the current Directory or Web page, and the History tab displays a history of directories
you have visited, enabling you to click those items to return to the sites they represent.
There is also an Emblems tab that lets you drag-and-drop emblems on files or folders to
indicate something about the file or folder (emblems include icons representing drafts,
urgent, bug, and multimedia).
Windows file and printer sharing??”If your computer is connected to a LAN on which
Windows computers are sharing files and printers, you can view those resources from
Nautilus. Type smb: in the Open Location box (select File???Open Location to get there)
to see available workgroups. Click a workgroup to see computers from that workgroup
that are sharing files and printers.
