Re-add the "always-use-browser" option and "up one level" button if that option is checked

Hi everyone, I just read bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681919 and I'm shaken by what I see. You removed the always-use-browser option! I already got a comment yesterday from a friend, that I am trying to convert to linux, about the option being hidden and no way of having a "up a level" button, he said "well, Windows has it, maybe you should switch to Windows". Come on guys, not everyone likes breadcrumbs. It doesn't work well with long names, you can't paste paths, you can't modify paths, etc. I think that having "always-use-browser" and in case it is enabled (I agree it makes no sense w/ breadcrumbs) have an "up one level" button should be a choice the user makes. The "up one level" button is needed with the "always-use-browser" option because if you paste a path and want to go up a level, the back arrow don't behave like an up button, the back arrow will take you back to the location before pasting the new location, the up will go up one level from the current location. What are you guys trying to do, sabotage the user experience? Where do you get these ideas from? You should have a visible user input page where you propose these types of things and people can voice their concerns. I know people don't like change, but we also have cases where we use/need something you are trying to remove (like when you wanted to force sleep on laptops when the lid is closed). Thanks, Gabriel
Here is a conversation I had with Cosimo Cecchi about this: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2011-November/msg00008.html
(In reply to comment #0) > You removed the always-use-browser option! See bug 681919 (no need for a new ticket), however there are currently no plans to bring it back. > no way of having a "up a level" button That's already covered by bug 652367. Again, no need for a new ticket. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 681919 ***
(In reply to comment #1) > Here is a conversation I had with Cosimo Cecchi about this: > > https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2011-November/msg00008.html Our conversation refers to the "always-use-location-entry" option, and not "always-use-browser". The former hasn't been removed.
ahhhhhh, sorry Cosimo, I misread that...
