This is the 'new' look introduced in Gnome 2.6, I believe, called
Spatial Nautilus. If you dig down through lots of directories you
can soon find yourself knee deep in open windows, something that
I really hated with OS/2.

Anyway, if you're running Gnome 2.8 and over you can open the
preferences dialogue for Nautilus and on the second page
(Behaviour) put a check mark in 'Always Open in Browser Windows'

If you're running 2.6 you'll have to launch the Gconf editor
and drill down to Apps > Nautilus > Preferences and put a check
in always_use_browser.

As an aside, how is Solaris 10? I downloaded the CDs a while
ago but I'm not brave enough to try it out.

Yes, that worked. Had me stumped where that setting would be buried. I would 
have thought under Preferences would have been easier.

I *think* they left it out of preferences in 2.6 because they *thought*
spacial was the way to go, they prolly put it in 2.8 because of all the
whines :-) Just a WAG.

Speaking of which -- In 2.6 (MDK 10.1), if you opened a folder with 
images in it (like photos), you were given the choice of viewing the 
folder in icon view, list view, and a third - image - view (or some 
similar name - I don't remember  exactly).

Image view was really terrific for browsing through my photo folders, 
but it seems to be gone with the 2.8 kernel (LE 2005). Now, I only have 
icon and list view.

Umm, have you got previews set in preferences? Set 'Show Thumbnails'

Yes - that was something I looked at right away. 'Show Thumbnails' is 
set for 'Local Files'; 'Less than 3 MB'.

Do you have the 'View as Image Collection' (or whatever it was called) 
option on your installation?

Hmmm... I don't have that one listed as a choice.

I'm running LE2005 (all updates) andthe default Gnome 2.8.x
and always use Browse mode. There are three 'View' choices;
Catalogue, Icon and List.

Same here - I just checked again and, sure enough, there was a Catalog 
view. Funny I never noticed it before. Could it be related to having 
GThumb installed?

I really wouldn't know, GThumb is one of the first apps I install after
getting things set up and updated.
