Re: Nautilus status bar - Menu - Tree view - Hour in date

[Xavier Guillot <Valeryan_24 laposte net>]

Other complements on my observations :

First sorry, "Research" button is still here. But now Nautilus is 
completely unusable, all the features I needed are gone.

I already spoke about tree view. I add the menu which disappeared, all 
is now on the right icon, breaking the user experience in comparison to 
all other programs. I'm used to go to the left top of the screen - at 
the Global menu - to have the different functions, no more here.

I also discovered another necessary missing detail : dev' removed the 
hour in the date, both in the list view and in the window which opens 
when I copy file and in case of 2 documents have the same name !!!

Now if the 2 documents have been saved on the same day but not the same 
hour, I do not know which is the more recent, which I should keep or 
replace.

I do lots of copy between computers (with USB), folders, I don't use the 
cloud and synchronization for everywhere, just for backups, now I'm not 
able anymore to do simple file copies... It's perhaps not the "good" way 
to use computer, but it's mine.

Please is there a possibility, on the config files or so (dconf), to add 
back the hour (hh:mm) in date or is it gone definitively, too ?

Sorry, I think I'll have to adapt myself to a new program, Nautilus is 
no more what I call a "file manager", too bad. It's insane, the more 
program evolves, the less it does, we are no more able to configure it 
exactly as we want !

I stop complaining here, as I do not participate in Nautilus or Gnome (I 
do it in Ubuntu with bug reporting, translations....), it was just my 2 
cents.

Best regards,

Xavier
