Re: Nautilus annoyances - can configuration change these, if so how?

Hello Chris,

However, for me, nautilus has some very annoying defaults and I'm
wondering if they can be changed, i.e. :-

Nautilus opens a new window for every directory, this rapidly gets
annoying with deep hierarchies. Is there an option to get
Nautilus to open a new directory/folder in the *same* window?
(Windows can do it, when using XP I always have this option set)

For this one, try shift+double-click. It opens the folder in a new
window and closes the former one (what a strange and funny behaviour!).
