There is no "create new folder" button on the Nautils (non spatial) toolbar.

To create a new folder, you have to go to File menu and select "new folder" entry, or to right-click in the Nautilus window and to select "create a folder".

Maybe that Nautilus could/should propose this button ?

you can currently do:
1. file -> Create New Folder
2. SHIFT + CTRL + N
3. right-click -> Create New Folder

Looks like enough "Create New Folder" options for me.
IT might be a good "optional" feature that could be added with: right-click on the nautilus toolbar -> Customize. Bad thing is that such an option is not existing at the moment.
Comment 2 Christian Neumair 2008-04-02 14:07:16 UTC 
Confirming, making it depend on bug 42834 (toolbar editing).
Comment 3 Allan Day 2010-07-12 15:25:00 UTC 
Updating component.
Comment 4 Jonathan Pritchard 2011-01-30 20:26:03 UTC 
One thing which isn't taken account of in Nautilus is that if you're in any other view but "Icon View" where there is whitespace around files, you can't right-click to access the "Create Folder" entry.

Is there any way to include the "Create Folder" option in the context menu when right-clicking a file as well, to negate this problem?

Thank you.

The nautilus main toolbar got streamlined in 3.0, and this is not part of our design now. Closing as WONTFIX.
