Description Cesare Tirabassi 2007-03-15 19:14:24 UTC 
There is an apparent inconsistency in the Nautilus view menu. Terms like "this window" and "this location" or "this folder" should not be synonymous. 
For instance,  choosing to display a window as a list, should only apply to that window (it is applied globally); changing the visibility of the side panel of a window, should only apply to that window (it is applied globally). Show hidden files in a window correctly work only for that window.

I think most of these consistency issues have been dealt with. If you have further issues please open a new bug. Thanks.
