GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 45889
New windows should inherit state from their parent
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:16:50 UTC
Switch nautilus to always open in new window. Open a folder with say your source code project. Switch the window to your favorite settings, adjusting the window size, position, zoom level, layout mode. Double click on a folder inside the window If the folder was never open/tweaked before, I would expect the newly open window to: - have the same size as it's parent - be offset by 20 pixels to the right and botton - use the same zoom factor - use the same layout mode - probably show the same set of toolbars, sidebars, etc. ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2001-01-22 10:38:19 ---- The details of what to inherit from the parent might change, depending on how we handle defaults otherwise. (If we have UI for setting the default zoom factor, say, then we wouldn't want to inherit it from the parent.) But in general this idea worked really well on the Mac and would significantly improve the experience when using new folders, I think. However, it's definitely a new feature, so I have to mark it deferred. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-02-21 11:16:16 ---- QA Assigning to brett.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
This is a really good idea. Another thing we should do is that new folder should be created with the same permissions as their parent folder.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
