We've talked before what an abomination the current file navigation windows are compared to what people are used to. These are the windows that start with HOME DESKTOP FILE SYSTEM. You do in fact have a <small point> with these dialog headings: Assuming the root "/" filesystem... yes, its a *nix thing....
Filesystem: This is the root "top" directory entry on a *nix system corresponding to / Home: This is your home folder corresponding to /home/youruserid /home and Home are *not* the same thing. Desktop: These are, well, the entries on your desktop You might want to add more helpful entries to the dialog list on the left. Double click Filesystem, and then click /home on the right... then click +Add to add the entry to the left... add as many "folders" as you feel are appropriate. The reason for this dialog layout is ease of use for non *nix users. I would prefer to see: / <== Filesystem /home/userid <== Home /home/userid/Desktop <== Desktop The problem is trying to make the Windblows community comfortable as they inevitably move over to Linux. If you have suggestions then make them to the GTK community who is working on the latest version of the toolkit. -- Kind regards, Mark H.
