Revamped Sidebar Lands In Nautilus Elementary (2.30)

A new, revamped sidebar has been added to the latest Nautilus Elementary 2.30 (only available for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx).

There are now 3 categories in the sidebar: Personal, Devices and Network, each getting an expander - Rhythmbox style.

The state of the expanders are saved so if you collapsed a category and close nautilus, next time you'll open it, the category would be collapsed.

The "Desktop" shortcut in the Nautilus sidebar has also been removed. But you can add it by dragging and dropping a desktop shortcut directly onto the sidebar.

This new version is not available in the Nautilus Elementary PPA yet but you can install it already via BZR, following these instructions.

The Nautilus Elementary PPA has been updated and it now includes the revamped sidebar. You can install it (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx only) using the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
