What is Digg?36 Comments
- goodhorsehymn, on 03/13/2008, -1/+22You know that Digg is still a bit geeky when you hear "I'm excited for Nautilus' column view."
- sloppychris, on 03/13/2008, -1/+15I'm excited for Nautilus' column view.

That said, it's going to take a lot more than that to keep me from KDE 4.1. - inactive, on 03/13/2008, -1/+10its sort of past being geeky. its time re-evaluate what makes you excited in life and decide if you're ok with the fact that file managers are what does it for you
- sloppychris, on 03/13/2008, -0/+8I'd rather have the option between the two.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -3/+11I hope that when the open file dialog box in FF will display thumbnails this time.
- ptFoe, on 03/13/2008, -2/+9Any chance of supporting different wallpapers for different desktops?
or even the mouse scroll wheel to set number of lines scrolled? so we can fight arthritis. - zwaldowski, on 03/13/2008, -0/+5Fedora is awesome with my hardware support. Y'know, strike that, it's awesome in everything. I just hate RPM compared to DEB.
- sloppychris, on 03/14/2008, -0/+5You're even more geeky when you check back to see what people said about your column view comment.
- treed, on 03/13/2008, -0/+5They've probably been tracking the beta releases in their own betas.
- KhaaL, on 03/13/2008, -1/+5meh, i was hoping for a dual-panel view or, god forbid, tabs!
But thats nothing the gnomegods will provide us. - Thugacation, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4Fedora 9 is going to be awesome. I'm personally very fond of easier integration between GNOME and Google Calendar.
- evilregis, on 03/13/2008, -2/+6Its file dialog is woefully inadequate.
/GNOME user - directrix13, on 03/14/2008, -0/+3Column view has been deferred to 2.24
- undershirt, on 03/13/2008, -5/+7I was hoping "column view" meant "column-browsing". Column-browsing is a simple way to navigate through a directory tree.

- maninalift, on 04/06/2008, -0/+2OSX has column-browsing and it is actually pretty handy, in theory tree-view provides the same functionality and as a matter of instinct I am against needless use of space but column-browsing is quite nice to use.
- cdmarcus, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2I've tried it, and it's a little annoying to use... I hope they make it easier.
- greywolfexcel, on 03/14/2008, -1/+3Err, hasn't Konqueror had that functionality for quite a while now?
- TeacherOfHeroes, on 03/13/2008, -3/+4I'm just as glad its not, I never did like that style. A tree-view off to the side seems to convey the same usefulness and leaves lots of room for the main icon/list view.
- iofthestorm, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Dugg for showing that digg still has some nerdiness left in it.
- gothicform, on 03/13/2008, -1/+2New architectural features? Great does it come with barrel vaults and diagonal crossbracing and column free floors? ;)
- Justathought, on 03/13/2008, -3/+4There is still no ability to rename files or folders in the File Dialogs? I am surprised. (Almost. :)
- inactive, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Nautilus has a long way to go. Column view isn't anything to be excited about.
- AsusMobo, on 03/13/2008, -7/+8Main new feature: more like KDE
- inactive, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1Gotta love the gnome project!
- bruce89, on 03/15/2008, -0/+1Both are GTK+ issues, not GNOME ones.
- geminitojanus, on 03/14/2008, -1/+2You hope that GNOME will fix a Firefox bug?
(hint: Firefox is made by Mozilla) - kazamx, on 03/15/2008, -0/+1and here is an example of one of the ones who will never understand
- geminitojanus, on 03/16/2008, -0/+1"It has nothing to do with Firefox. It's Gnome."
That dialog is created from Firefox. Firefox is choosing not to add a thumbnail to their filechooser dialog. It's a Firefox bug.
Nautilus isn't involved *AT ALL*; you can uninstall Nautilus (and for that matter, GNOME) and still have this "problem".
You could claim it to be a Gtk+ bug, but the reality is, Gtk+ implements the minimum and expects application developers to implement something different if they need something different. Thumbnails wouldn't help me at all opening e.g. Text files, so why should a text editor be subjected to having to load a thumbnail for any images that also might be in the directory? - noahriggsaa, on 06/01/2008, -0/+0nebraska yellow pages
http://nebraska-services.com - inactive, on 03/17/2008, -0/+0KDE is true desktop! Gnome is for n00bs. 1337's uses xterms and ratpoison.
- phinn, on 03/14/2008, -3/+2This is good to hear but I'll wait until Ubuntu 8.04 to check it out
- SendDerek, on 03/15/2008, -2/+1That's not what he's talking about.
You know when you go to upload a picture to say, Photobucket, and you get a Nautilus dialog box with a bunch of text instead of a thumbnail? You have to guess that picture IMG10022.jpg or picture IMG10023.jpg is the right one. If you had a nice thumbnail through this Nautilus dialog box, it would be nice to pick out the right picture based on a thumbnail. Except, in this Nautilus dialog box, there is no "View Thumbnails" option.
It has nothing to do with Firefox. It's Gnome. - InorganicMatter, on 03/13/2008, -18/+13KDE4!
*ducks* - theaceoffire, on 03/13/2008, -8/+2I am surprised that Ubuntu can add this in a month before release... Dang they are good.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -9/+3kde people: "TO ARMS!"
