Hi,
Before Gnome 2.22 in spatial-Nautilus if I attempted to open a folder which was already open on a Workspace other than the one I was on, the open folder was moved to the current Workspace. Now the open folder stays on the Workspace it was on and the only indication I get that anything at all has happened is a throbbing button in the Window List which, if I click on it, moves me to the Workspace which contains the open window. If a user doesn't have a Window List, there's no sign that their action ofind thefind thef double-clicking the folder has done anything.
I'm getting this behaviour in the (up to date) development versions of Fedora 9 and Ubuntu 8.04.
Is this the intended behaviour? Is there some option that I've missed (I have looked) which gets the old behaviour back?
I like the old behaviour because
a) I expect to see an open window as soon as I try to open one. Having to perform the default action and then also click somewhere in the Window List is slow.
b) I often don't want to utilize the folder on the Workspace in which it is already open, which is why I'm not already using it there. With the current behaviour I have to go to the Workspace where the open window is, close the window, go back to the Workspace in which I want to be and re-open the folder. A bit faster is going to the Workspace where the window is, and use the window manager menu to move the window to another workspace, but this is still slow.
Thanks for any info
