nautilus (2.10.0-0ubuntu7) hoary; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/02_ubuntuspatial.patch:
    - changes to the spatial mode. Close the folders by default while browsing.
      You can set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/no_ubuntu_spatial" to get the
      previous spatial behaviour.

But I think, like quite others, that this behaviour may not be the best option. We could discuss that forever and lose a lot of our precious time.

Better than this, is to develop an alternative solution. Let the Technical Board, the sabdfl, or whoever has taken that decision happy, and let the user choose at the same time :)

The dpatch is at 02ubuntuspatial.patch, or a new version of nautilus at nautilus2.10.0-0ubuntu8.diff.gz. My changelog:

nautilus (2.10.0-0ubuntu8) hoary; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/02_ubuntuspatial.patch:
    - use more consistent names (close_previous_windows) and add a GUI option in
    preferences dialog to set the default behaviour.
