- Tabbed browsing! Most browsers today support tabbed browsing, but still few file managers. This doesn't really make sense now does it?
- Better remote connection/sftp handling. The current one is AWFUL. Slow, sluggish, buggy. Take example on Konqueror!
- SVN integration has been waved at. I find it a cool idea, even if only as a plugin.
- Speaking of plugins... those also need some love. How many plugins are there for Nautilus? Most users don't even know Nautilus can be enhanced.
- File tooltips - once again, take example on Konqueror / Windows explorer.

Edit: A few more ideas around Brainstorm:
- Separation of files and folders
- Slider bar for zoom
- A better icon management
- The ability to explode folders

Those are just a handful of ideas. My main concern is Nautilus is being underdeveloped, and the solid alternative is only non-Gnome (Konqueror).

Ubufox may be an exception due to its nature though.

I realize an idea website is different to a wiki page, but if you think about it you can definitely merge both.

Oh, and promote Brainstorm a bit more on there and a few other places on the website.

I think there should be a small template manager. The contextual menu would contain:

Empty file
(Templates...)
----------
Modify template list

Modifying the template list would fire up a sort of stripped-down version of Alacarte to manage templates.
- A template should have a ready-to-use extension, name, and optionally some content.
- Order of templates and separators in the menu should be easy to change (like in Alacarte)
- The path to the template folder should be easy to change (I might not want to use the default one, use one shared with other users or use a localized version...)
- Order of files should be manageable in there aswell (defaulting to alphabetical order if not precised - eg files hard-added in the templates folder)
- The manager should probably be a separated package to Nautilus, front-end to simple config files.
