Nautilus with pathbar at the location bar
If you notice, in fedora 13 the nautilus location bar is set to pathbar. That way you can no longer type in address for quick file browsing. I prefer textual input rather than pathbar, that way I can access folders more easily and faster by typing the folder address at the location bar, this way you can also open a network location. ex smb://192.168.0.10
It's rather easy to change the location bar back to textual input...
First install the Gnome Configuration editor:
yum install gconf-editor
Note: Require root previleges
After you've finished installing, open up the Gnome Configuration Editor through the "Run Application" box (Alt+F2). Type in the following into the box and hit enter:
gconf-editor
gconf-editor - /apps/nautilus/preferences
A new window will pop out :P At the left side of the window, browse to '/apps/nautilus/preferences'. You'll see some configuration at the right window pane. Look for 'always_use_location_entry', tick the box beside it. Close the Configuration Editor...
Now you'll have a textual input entry at the location bar instead of pathbar...
Nautilus with textual entry at the location bar
Note: This method may also work in other linux distro running GNOME...
