Ubuntu Tweak

Tweak the Text-Mode location bar setting in Nautilus?

Asked by WindyWeather

I've had one of my Ubuntu systems for a long time, and sometime in the past, it got a setting for a text-mode location bar, which I like because I can copy paths to terminals.

A new installation does not have that mode, unless I type / and then I can enter a new location, but not see the one that was just there.
Apparently the setting can be changed:
http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/use-text-mode-location-bar-in-nautilus.html

gconftool-2 --type=Boolean --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry true

So when I saw this, the first thing I did was go to Tweak and try to set it in the Nautilus config section.
And it's not there. boo hoo. ;)

Just one little item for an upcoming release please.

Love the program. Someday, every feature will come with a GUI, or built into a program like tweak, but until then
I'll use Tweak.
Thanks,
windy
