The GNOME developers behind the Nautilus project, the graphical file manager for the GNOME desktop environment that makes it easy to manage your files and browse your filesystem, announced version 3.4.2.
Nautilus 3.4.2 is a maintenance release, bringing several fixes and a couple of improvements, such as:
· Fixed network devices crash;
· Fixed a crash when typing "HTTP" addresses in the location bar;
· Media content cluebar button packing was fixed;
· The rename field selection color was fixed;
· Context menus are no longer displayed on sidebar headings;
· The selection when clicking on a row out of name boundaries is no longer removed;
· Numeric strings wrapping issue was fixed;
· Reduced memory consumption.
Don't get used to it though as one may never know when nautilus will like gnome and seemingly lots of other projects be radically overhauled for no good reason other then ?___? Nautilus shell coming soon--1 button nothing more..... no worries there will always be nautilus-classic and perhaps even a nautilus-cinnamon.
Well, if it ever might come to pass that Nautilus goes Shell on our behinds, I'll just add "Nautilus-Cinnamon" to Cinnamon and Muffin. After Cinnamon matured a bit, I can honestly say that I like Gnome 3. It's just that I can't stand the default lay-out of Shell.
Gnome Shell is very good, but only after you use 10-20 extensions. Maybe that was their goal from the beginning, to create a framework like desktop environment to mold as you wish. Only problem is, that is in no way aimed to newbies as they claim.
Most of the extensions are not authored by the gnome devs and notice that the site is labelled "beta" because some of them do not play nice with each other. I gave up on this and moved to Cinnamon because Mint is properly committed to it. One gets the sense that the gnome extensions site is simply a response to user unrest and not a serious venture.
