A really quick look at how to switch the GNOME File Manager into a browser mode rather than its default spatial mode. The setting is quite hidden in menus and dialogues, so if you\'ve lost it - here\'s where it is!

Discussion: Changing the GNOME File Manager to use Browser mode

I've never understood why the Nautilus developers decided a few versions back to make the spatial filemanager default. There really is no use to it, and it's just a relic from the mid-90s when spatial file-managers were all the rage. These days every major OS (MacOS as well as Windows) prefers the browser-based managers. Spatial filemanagers is in my opinion the best way of cluttering ones desktop with unnecessary windows.
Additionally most distributions make the browser-style default, such as Ubuntu, so it seems very backward by Fedora to default to the spatial style.

I never understood the hate for spatial file managers.
