Nemo provides a lot of improvements to nautilus' user experience, including:
*Unified, configurable toolbar: you can add/remove the following: up icon, refresh icon, toggle button for the location bar / path bar, home icon, computer icon and search icon. * Detachable tabs * Option to show the full path in the titlebar and tab bars (Preferences > Display) * Displays an "elevated privileges" banner when running as root * Built in "Open as root" context menu item * Built in "Open in terminal" context menu item * Added GTK bookmarks to the MoveTo/CopyTo context menus * Added "Set as Wallpaper" to the context menu * Switch view buttons on the toolbar (Grid, List and Compact views) * Drag and drop support for the bookmarks in the sidebar * Sidebar: indicators under each drive, displaying the free/used space * Collapsable sidebar categories * Support for sending files via Thunderbird and xdg-email * Image properties improvements (merged from Nautilus 3.6) * Memory leaks fixes (merged from Nautilus 3.6) So, "redundancy" is only partially true. I strongly suggest you accept Nemo into Debian official repositories (provided the packages are good quality and lintian-clean). If not, then nautilus maintainers should incorporate these changes to their file manager (which I think would be preferable, and alleviate the need for a fork such as Nemo). I don't think they're willing to do this. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
