GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 165266
Path pop-up menu should have computer as the top item
Last modified: 2005-07-11 10:16:04 UTC
The path pop-up menu on the bottom left hand corner of Nautilus menus terminates in several different places, when browsing the file system the topmost level is "/" and when browsing a network place it is the top folder in the network place. The menu should show all levels up to the "Computer". In the filesystem this would be "Computer" > "Filesystem" > "etc" and for a network folder this would be "Computer" > "Network" > "etc". This is how the relationships appear in the actual windows when drilling down and should be maintained when traversing back up the tree.
Thanks for your bug report!

No, the "Computer" is not a root in that sense, no more than the desktop is a root for the home dir (the home icon is on the desktop). We're not trying to fake a hierarchy with "computer" on top, computer is just a location with links to disks on the local system.
