Re: Nautilus Up button

[Gabriel <rossetti gabriel gmail com>]

Hi,

actually it does not, it is a different concept. Back brings you bak to 
the previous place you were at before going into a directory, if you do 
the following:

/tmp->/tmp/test->/tmp/test/hello

then pressing back will work like the up putton, if you "jump" from one 
folder to the other :

/tmp->/tmp/test/hello

then back will not function like up, back bill bring you back to /tmp, 
up would have brought you to /tmp/test. If you do not use breadcrumbs 
and copy/paste a path in Nautilus, when you press back it bring you to 
wherever you were before you pasted the path (which is what the back 
concept is supposed to do), if you just want to go up a level there is 
no way of doing that with the mouse, you have to modify the path 
manually in the location entry, which is not very comfortable.
