- and features. Nautilus is designed to make file
- management transparent and intuitive-and, in
- the process, more productive.

- <title>Launching Nautilus</title>
-
- <para>
- Nautilus can be launched from three locations:
- from the GNOME main menu, where the Nautilus
- menu item can be found under Applications; from
- the GNOME desktop itself; or from the Panel.

- If you wish to put the Nautilus icon (Figure 1), on
- your desktop, select the Nautilus menu item and,
- holding down the left mouse button, drag it to the
- desktop.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Probably the easiest way to launch Nautilus is
- from the GNOME panel (Figure 2). To place the
- icon there, drag the menu item, as above, to an
- empty space on the panel at the bottom of the
- screen. This method has the advantage of speed:
- the panel is nearly always present, and is at most
- only a click away. The icon itself needs only one
- click to launch Nautilus.

- <title>Nautilus Elements</title>
-
- <para>
- The major elements of the Nautilus file manager
- include, in the upper part, the menu bar, tool bar
- and location bar, and below, the sidebar and the
- main window (Figure 3).
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The menu bar is used to access the pull-down
- menus, which are the most complete source of
- Nautilus tools and features. The tool bar provides
- quick access to Nautilus' most common
- navigation and search tools, and Eazel Services.
- The location bar displays system directory
- location, LAN location, and Internet location-
- depending on where Nautilus is looking at the
- given moment.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The main window is the main viewing area for the
- system's directories and files, as well as the area
- where directories and files are generally manipu-
- lated. It is capable of showing files in several
- formats, and includes file information such as
- size, type, and date last modified.

- <title>Navigating and Viewing The System</title>
-
-
- <para>
- Nautilus offers several methods to navigate the
- system. Typing a directory address into the
- location bar will point Nautilus toward that
- location. The directional arrows on the tool bar
- provide a simpler method to navigate back,
- forward, and up through the system: they function
- exactly as in a browser. Clicking on a directory
- icon in the main window will open that directory.
- Finally, clicking the collapsible branches of the
- sidebar's tree-view allows the user to graphically
- view and navigate the directory tree.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The file manager minimizes the necessity of
- opening applications by identifying many file
- types graphically. Viewer components allow
- several common document types to be displayed
- without launching a separate application, and a
- zoom feature provides one-click zooming in and
- out in the main window. Sound files in certain
- common formats can even be previewed by
- simply passing the mouse over the file icon.
- </para>

- <title>The Initial Screen and Hardware Overview</title>
-
- <para>
- The first screen to appear (Figure 4), shows the
- contents of your home directory. In this example,
- the user has logged in under their own name-
- John-so the home directory is /home/john.
- Linux follows the UNIX convention for home
- directories: if the user had logged in as Susan, the
- home directory would be /home/susan; when
- logged in as the root user, the home directory is root.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The file manager identifies this directory in two
- ways: as a traditional command line directory
- address in the location bar, and as a captioned
- folder icon in the sidebar.

- <graphic fileref="ch1-icon-view-150.png" scale="50"></graphic>

-
- <para>
- Among the contents of the screen are a Nautilus
- folder. This folder, when clicked, takes the user to
- /home/john/Nautilus, Figure 5. Among the
- contents of the folder are: a small HTML file
- containing information about Nautilus; a services
- icon which, when double-clicked, takes you
- directly to Eazel Services (covered in Chapter
- Three), and a computer icon which leads to a
- Hardware Overview of your system, Figure 6.

- The hardware overview shows the details of the
- computer's central processor unit, including the

- <title>Using the Navigation, Refresh and Home Buttons</title>
-
- <para>
- The navigation buttons on the left side of the tool
- bar-Back, Forward, Up, Refresh and Home-are
- used in a similar way to the navigation buttons on
- a web browser (Figure 7).

-
- <para>
- The three left-most buttons allow navigation
- through the file system by both time and
- direction.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The back and forward buttons allow the user to
- revisit directories and files which the user as
- already accessed during the current session. This
- is navigation through time. The previous example
- illustrates this: clicking on the back button from
- the hardware overview screen will take the user
- back to the /home/john screen, but once there,
- the back button will be dimmed out: there is no
- further `back' in time to go so far in this session.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Similarly, clicking the forward button at this point
- would take the user once again to the /home/
- john/Nautilus screen.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The up button navigates upward through the
- directory hierarchy. This is navigation by
- direction. As an example, in the previous section
- it is impossible-solely with the back button-to
- go up through the file system further than /home/
- john. However, by clicking the up button, the user
- can navigate first to /home, and then all the way
- to /.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Clicking the refresh button refreshes the view of
- the current directory.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The home button will always take the user to the
- current session's home directory. If the user has
- logged on as root, then the home button, when
- clicked, will open /root. If the user has logged on
- as Laura, the directory opened will be /home/
- laura. Note: this is, as are so many features in
- Nautilus, customizable-see Chapter Two.

- <title>Viewing as Icons, or as a List</title>
-
- <para>
- Although directories and files are by default
- viewed, in the main window, as icons, there is
- some advantage to viewing them as a list. At a
- normal magnification level, more information will
- be displayed in list view, such as the file's type
- and modification date. To change the view style,
- click on the View as Icons button, to the bottom-right
- of the tool bar (Figure 8), and choose `List'.

- The list view still includes representative icons,
- but the extra space used by the extra description
- means the icons must be minimized. The Date
- Modified column is particularly clear, with

- cation of the file or directory is within the last
- week (Figure 9).

- <title>Using Tree View in the Sidebar</title>
-
- <para>
- `Tree view' refers to a collapsible list of directories,
- sub-directories and files. In Nautilus, it is
- available in the sidebar. The advantage of tree
- view is that it allows the user to clearly observe
- the directory structure at a glance, thus simplifying
- directory and file administration.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- To activate tree view, click the Tree tab at the
- bottom of the sidebar screen. At first, the tree
- may be collapsed, showing a single folder (Figure
- 10).

- <graphic fileref="ch1-tree-slash.png" scale="50"></graphic>
- </figure>
-
- <para>
- To expand the directory structure, click once on
- the right arrow pointing toward the folder. The
- arrow will immediately point down, and the root
- directories appear in the sidebar. Clicking any
- sub-directory arrow will expand that sub-
- directory, but not automatically expand the view
- in the main window. Notice in Figure 11 that
- although the tree in the sidebar is expanded to /T/
- ARCHIVE/Redhat/ETC, the main window and
- the location bar are still showing the folders
- within /home/john.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- (Also notice that, when necessary, vertical and
- horizontal scroll bars appear automatically on the
- sidebar panels).

- </figure>
-
- <para>
- To synchronize the displays-that is, to display
- the contents of the same directory in both the
- sidebar and the main window-simply click on
- the desired folder icon in the sidebar's tree view
- (Figure 12). In this illustration, the user has
- clicked on the icon representing the directory
- /demo in the sidebar. Both the location bar and
- the main window now reflect this location, with
- the main window displaying the contents of the
- demo directory in icon view.

-
- <para>
- Exploring the directory tree within the sidebar
- alone is usually faster than exploring it within the
- main window. To expand directories without
- updating the main window, click on the small
- right arrows in tree view. In the example shown in
- Figure 13, the /etc directory has been expanded,
- as has the /X11 subdirectory. Beneath that are
- several more subdirectories, and the XF86Config
- file, which configures the X server.

- <para>
- There may be times when the directory tree is so
- expanded, the user may lose sight of the upper
- branches. In such a situation, the user can either
- scroll with the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom
- of the sidebar, or, by holding down the left mouse
- button, enlarge the sidebar by dragging its right-
- hand edge into the main window area.

+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The menu bar is used to access the pull-down

+ <title>Navigating and Viewing The System</title>
+
+
+ <para>
+ Nautilus offers several methods to navigate the
+ system. Typing a directory address into the
+ location bar will point Nautilus toward that
+ location. The directional arrows on the tool bar
+ provide a simpler method to navigate back,
+ forward, and up through the system: they function
+ exactly as in a browser. Clicking on a directory
+ icon in the main window will open that directory.
+ Finally, clicking the collapsible branches of the
+ sidebar’s tree-view allows the user to graphically
+ view and navigate the directory tree.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The file manager minimizes the necessity of
+ opening applications by identifying many file
+ types graphically. Viewer components allow
+ several common document types to be displayed
+ without launching a separate application, and a
+ zoom feature provides one-click zooming in and
+ out in the main window. Sound files in certain
+ common formats can even be previewed by
+ simply passing the mouse over the file icon.

+ <title>The Initial Screen and Hardware Overview</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The first screen to appear (Figure 4), shows the
+ contents of your home directory. In this example,
+ the user has logged in under their own name-
+ John-so the home directory is /home/john.
+ Linux follows the UNIX convention for home
+ directories: if the user had logged in as Susan, the
+ home directory would be /home/susan; when
+ logged in as the root user, the home directory is root.

+ back to the /home/john screen, but once there,
+ the back button will be dimmed out: there is no
+ further ‘back’ in time to go so far in this session.

+ would take the user once again to the /home/
+ john/Nautilus screen.

+ The up button navigates upward through the
+ directory hierarchy. This is navigation by
+ direction. As an example, in the previous section
+ it is impossible-solely with the back button-to

+ john. However, by clicking the up button, the user
+ can navigate first to /home, and then all the way

- The default method of laying out files,

+ The layout of files in the main window can be a
+ major factor in the ease and speed of file identification.
+ The default method of laying out files,
+ alphabetically according to file names, is appropriate
+ under certain conditions, i.e.: when the
+ files in a directory are all of a similar type, with
+ well designed names following a similar pattern.
+ However, file identification using this layout can

+ <sect2 id="ch2-file-layout">
