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. -- Dan Berger [dberger ix netcom com] http://home.ix.netcom.com/~dberger Inter arma silent leges "Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."
