nautilus configuration

[Matthew Lengenfelder]

It was annoying me in nautilus when I was navigating in the right pane it wouldn't automatically follow me in the left pane(if the tree wasn't already opened to that folder), I found a site with a nice script that enables this, among other things. Thought I'd share.

This is what I ended up running:

gconftool-2 --set --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry True
     
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/nautilus/preferences/side_pane_view NautilusTreeSidebar
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /apps/nautilus/sidebar_panels/tree/show_only_directories True
gconftool-2 --set --type int /apps/nautilus/preferences/sidebar_width 300

gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/nautilus/preferences/default_folder_viewer list_view
gconftool-2 --set --type list --list-type string /apps/nautilus/list_view/default_visible_columns [name,size,permissions,date_modified]
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/nautilus/preferences/date_format iso
gconftool-2 --set --type int /apps/nautilus/icon_view/thumbnail_size 160

gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/nautilus/preferences/click_policy double
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/nautilus/preferences/executable_text_activation launch
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete True
