Description Ryan Lerch 2013-04-24 17:46:54 UTC 
When opening something in nautilus from anywhere other than nautilus, it would be awesome if instead of a new nautilus window being spawned, that a new tab is created in a current nautilus window.

This would be similar in behaviour to how most tabbed based web browsers work in GNOME, they always open a URL clicked on in another application as a new tab in an already running instance. If two windows are required, the normal way of dragging a tab away from the window would be used.
