How would a "tabbed desktop" be significantly differently from the multiple desktops you can have right now on Linux? Just hit ctrl+alt+left/right arrow (if you have compiz switched on) to get to your other "tabs".

It will be totally different. A single window with tabs is not the same thing as multiple workspaces. And this doesn't only go for nautilus, works with firefox, gedit etc aswell.

I totaly agree to the points of this idea.
Tabbed browsing is a missing feature of Nautilus, I hate to have 12 windows opened at the same time. And I don't even talk about the SVN feature where no software beats TortoiseSVN on Windows. It would be nice to have a plugin for that...

Nautilus does its job as a light file manager
Sorry, Nautilus is no way a light file manager, look at Thuanr or PCManFM and you will see what I mean.
About plugins, there are Nautilus Scripts.

is "tabs" for nautilus low memory consuming respect to open many instances of nautilus?

And for drag & drop you could drop it on the not activated tab for copy/move.
just before s.o. asks.

If nautilus does become tabbed, I would like to be able to drag-drop by dragging from the open tab's window onto another tab.

"- 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."
How about a plugins webpage such as the plugins page for Firefox so you can navigate from a link in the plugins window and download and install plugins from there?

Also, I'd love to have a "hide/show icons" option applying for *all* icons in the Desktop right click menu :)

Nautilus need lots of love

Tabbed browsing might be cool, but i think we should keep it lightweight.
There already is a SVN plugin.
Explode folders?? no. Maybe with compiz

What does compiz have to do with file management?

Tabs FTW,thats reason why i got to use firefox in the first place(long,long time ago).Thats why i voted for this idea :D

God, nautilus just needs addable extensions so that we can mix and match functionality. Yes please? It's the core part of the OS, and it has very limited functionality.

Yes please! Develop Nautilus more.
Its pretty primitive and quite klunky when youve just migrated from Windows. It sometimes feels like it has less features than filemon.exe had in windows 3.11 :(

Yes Nautilus needs lots of work. And needs to be un-bloated. It starts up quite slowly sometimes.
It also offers no nice way of copying files from one place to another. Unless i just can't get it to work.
Like, for instance, emelFM or emelFM2
You can get a tree view panel on the side.
But that is not as useful as it could be.
If i configure it to show files as well, and want to drag a file from its location to another folder as shown in the tree view, as soon as I click on the file (in the tree view) i just get an error pop up:
"could not display
The location is not a folder"
I know it is not a folder damn it!! I just wanted to drag it to a folder!
There should be the simple multi-pane functionality as emelFM provides. That would be wonderful.
And this tree pane thing should be fixed.
Tabs would be nice. But not necessary. Better to keep it smaller and faster, and less klunky.

Oh also,
the copying functionality. At the moment, you can't schedule something to copy synchronously or asynchronously.
Say I want to copy some random files to another location, and these files dont' exist in the same directory. So I can't select them all at once.
I select them one by one, and copy them to the new location.
Assuming they are large enough to take minutes to copy, and I start the second one before the first one finishes, the disk starts jumping all over the place because it tries to copy both files at the same time.
It would be better to be able to create a sort of a task list, so that these tasks can be run only after others have completed.
