Idea #25743: Less cluttered interface for Nautilus

bug This idea was marked as implemented the 6 January 12. Available starting Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot.
Written by crephoto the 1 Sep 10 at 02:03. Related project: Nautilus. Status: Implemented
Rationale
Right now, Nautilus's interface (namely the Main Toolbar) has a lot of clutter-making buttons, removing valuable screen space for actually viewing the files (the things you are actually using Nautilus to view)

Selected solution (#1): Move the essential buttons out of the Main Toolbar
Written by crephoto the 1 Sep 10 at 02:03.
Move the essential buttons onto what is right now the Location Bar, leaving only extra buttons on the "Main" Toolbar that could be hidden and remove clutter.
This would also may call for renaming the Main Toolbar to just the Toolbar has it is no longer housing essential buttons.

A mockup I made:

The mockups in #1 doesn't work for my use cases at all. There are two function in the toolbar i use:

- change the view
- go to parent folder

both are not accessable in those mockups. Using the mousewheel on the view-drop-down is much faster than going through the menu and I do change the view too often to loose this functionality.

so -1
