There's not a lot I miss from the gnome-vfs days but one thing I do miss is the fact that computer:/// always showed the drive name even when media was inserted. One useful thing about this is that it didn't mess up the sort order. It would be good to bring that back.

Looks much nicer, yes. 2009-04-16 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com> Bug 578574 – always show drive names in computer:// * daemon/gvfsbackendcomputer.c: (recompute_files): If mount has a drive, use its name as part of the display name. Patch from David Zeuthen
In previous versions of Nautilus (2.26, Ubuntu Jaunty) the computer:/// of Nautilus was very neat. It only showed you the name of the partition and not the size of the hard disk it is on (like in 2.28 in Karmic) Is there anyway of removing the eyesore "500 GB Hardisk:" in front of the drives. It is rather unnecessary and takes the focus from most info the Name/Label/MountPoint of the partition. Or it should be shown in a smaller and lighter text below the Name/Label/MountPoint. Do I really need to see 500GB so many times, I bought the hard disk I know it is 500GB, I don't need to be reminded of it every day. When one has given a label for a partition there is no need to mention how large the drive the partition sits on, after all it is limited by the partition size. attached are screenshots of now (2.28 Karmic) and before (on 2.26) Using Nautilus 2.28.1,
