Nautilus in Red Hat
Nautilus is the file manager that comes with the GNOME desktop. With Nautilus you can explore the file system, create files and folders, view file properties, and manipulate files and folders(copy, delete, move, cut, paste and so on).
Tips for working with files and folder in nautilus:
1. Files and folders are represented by icons and file names by default(icon view). Select the view pull-down menu to change the display to List(to see name, size, type and date modified) or compact(to display small icons). Select the Arrange items menu items, to list files by name, size, time, date or emblem.
2. Files names beginning with a period(.) are referred to as hidden files. To see files or folders beginning with a period in your current folder, select View->Show Hidden Files.
3. When coping a file or folder, if the source and destination folders are on different physical disk partitions, the default drag and drop action between those folders will be copy instead of a move. This is also the case when copying a file or folder on a remote file server.
4. Nautilus operates in spatial mode, in which a new window open each time you open a folder. it may be changed to operate in browser mode, in which the contents displayed in the window changes each time you change to a new folder.
Select System->Preferences->File Management. In the File Management Preferences window on the Behavior tab, make sure Always open in browser windows is checked, and Close the window.
