I've decided, after watching several releases of nautilus come and go,
that I must be doing something wrong.
I tried nautilus initially before it's 1.0 release and was fairly
impressed - it was elegant looking (albeit a bit slow) and definitely
more "modern" than gmc.
Then I double clicked on a .tar.gz file.
I got "Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying
/home/dberger/file.tar.gz"
So, after Ximian got around to updating their Nautilus packages to 1.0.6
I decided to try it again. I'd heard many things about improved speed
and functionality.
Double-Clicking on a .tar.gz, or a .rpm, or a .zip, or any number of
file types that gmc (or more accurately gnome-vfs) groks results in the
"I don't have a viewer" message.
Am I missing something? Is there some misconfiguration that might
explain this behavior? I like the look and feel of nautilus, but it
seems, in many ways, a huge step backward in functionality from gmc.
Any constructive suggestions appreciated.
