http://www.ubuntuvibes.com – Clement Lefebvre, lead developer and founder of Cinnamon and Linux Mint, recently blogged about Nemo, a new file manager based on Nautilus 3.4. Nemo in itself is now a new project and it will be tailored specifically for Cinnamon desktop environment. Clem says: [...] Nautilus 3.6 is a catastrophe. It removes features we consider requirements. We welcomed the news that Canonical decided to stick to Nautilus 3.4, but it came too late (we were already experimenting with Nemo) and it only temporarily solved the problem for Ubuntu and Linux Mint. [...] The file manager (HowTos)

GNOME 3.6 porterà una serie di miglioramenti all’ambiente desktop; tra questi Nautilus, il file manager è stato rivisto con l’occasione, e alcune delle sue funzionalità sono state rimosse in nome della semplicità.

The latest changes in Nautilus file manager are causing lots of controversy.

As many features like extra pane, tree view etc. have been removed in Nautilus 3.5.90, Linux Mint and SolusOS have already forked Nautilus 3.4.2 as Nemo and Athena File Manager.

Now Ubuntu 12.10 has also reverted back to Nautilus 3.4.2, just couple of days after the new Nautilus 3.5.90 landed in Quantal.

Discussing his project's new fork of the GNOME file manager, Clement Lefebvre calls Nautilus 3.6 a catastrophe. The developer also welcomes Canonical's move to stick with Nautilus 3.4 but says this is only a temporary solution.

Sigh... The way the devs are stripping options out of everything in Gnome makes me wonder what they're smoking :doh:

Is all this fragmentation good for the Gnome Desktop?

I’m taking this opportunity to relay two pieces of Cinnamon news to the Linux Mint community. Cinnamon 1.6 preview The upcoming Cinnamon 1.6 was given a quick preview at http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=195

Nemo Nemo was announced as the new file browser for Cinnamon: http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=198

MATE 1.4 There was also news coming from MATE.

I installed the latest version of Cinnamon on Ubuntu 12.04 and now Nemo replaces Nautilus when I choose Unity or Gnome Shell session. When I start Unity I have to restart the session for 3-4 times to restore Nautilus, on the contrary when I choose Gnome Shell Nautilus never works, it remains Nemo.

Xubuntu 12.04

Hi,

While running the alternative DE Cinnamon, I can't seem to identify a way to add scripts to Nautilus or Nemo.

Does anyone know if they still work?

Thanks

ubuntu 12.04 gnome: concerning an updated custom ambiance theme: why is there no dark side bar when I click on a folder, like the home folder icon on the desktop, but the theme works as planned when I type "nautilus" in the terminal to open the home folder or when opening a folder up as root?

Cinnamon, a fork of Gnome 3 desktop environment, developed by Clement Lefebvre, the father of Linux Mint, is now at version 1.6.

According to the developer, Cinnamon 1.6 was released along with Muffin 1.1.0 and Nemo 1.0.1.
