Description Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2004-05-27 16:11:05 UTC
I would like a way to open a subfolder quicker.
By example, I think the contextual menu should allow to open subfolder with a
menu  that display the hierarchy of subfolder path.
I attach a mockup.
It's a first thought, because I think I could use the 'computer' shortcut to
easily move across the whole filesytem.

I think this is a very good idea and i dont know how expensive the operation
would be but id imagine it wouldnt be too bad. On a related note i would also
love to see this implemented if someone is poking around in there. Bug 144481
Comment 3 Karel Demeyer 2004-10-13 16:14:11 UTC
NIce idea.  BUt I think it would be betetr not to create an extra button.  Like;
There's a browse-option you can click but it also serves as a menu ... I hope it
sounds clear, but I'm nitable to explain itbetter in my poor English.  Anyway,
it's a nice Idea but It wouldn't be nice to haveto much 'options' in the
context-menu.
Comment 4 Christian Neumair 2005-05-13 14:17:07 UTC
Note that the code for a simple GtkMenu that does what you want is already in
the CVS module bookmark-applet/lib. I'm very much willing to provide this
functionality as a nautilus extension. The problem is really how we can traverse
this into a NautilusMenuProvider-readable menu structure. The latter doesn't
support submenus at the moment, which is the real problem with Nautilus.
