Isn't 3 windows in one workspace clutter enough? Especially if you are
working on files in gedit or the Gimp and want access to various files
alongside your work without juggling windows. Either you overflow into
another workspace or bounce windows all the time. No need.
To overcome this problem I have made pcmanfm launchers for specific
folders (for when I'm doing websites etc and am working with a large
number of files in different folders). I have found the tabbing
capabilities of gedit incredibly useful as I can have my main style
sheet and several html files open at once in the one window. In Firefox
I have several pages open at once. In Opera the same thing. Also when I
use Konqueror for file or web browsing - at the same time! All tabbed.
Obviously the capability is there in the Gnome family of software
(gedit) already. I'm not familiar with the architecture of Nautilus,
but it should be offered at least as an option.
As tabbing is done in gedit, is it therefore already available as a
windows manager feature?

Hi,

using Nautilus to work with files in different locations, the desktop
can become cluttered, or the location bar needs to be overused.
Tabbing capabilities could be a windows manager feature and not, in my
opinion, a per-application method to organize native-spatial objects
like Nautilus file manager.
Today home desktop single users� minimize the use of� multi nautilus
istance opened. Trend is to use not more tha 3 windows opened to do
some DnD or just copy and paste.
With a 17 inch monitor and 1024x768 resolution you can easy manage 5 or
6 nautilus windows without too much pain (and for generic home desktop
single user where "spatial" is targeted it's a very special case of
use).
How does you solve this issue using OSX Finder or W98 explorer?
bye,
Luca
