I tried the "open two instances" idea. It's a no-go unless you have infinite patience for adjusting window size and positions, and don't mind wasting the space for the fourth (second / extra) "places? column or covering it with the left side screen, and bouncing around to keep it covered. This almost falls under the category of "How to keep an idiot busy", except it's not quite a real infinite loop, just many iterations of "move this", "adjust that", "do the other...".
Pushing f3 is "only" one additional step, where there should be no extra steps. I think it's a real waste of time to not have the option to default to two windows at startup. It's only a preference, and Nautilus will open as a single window if it's not checked as a preference! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515057 Title: does not remember the adjustments of extra pane To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/515057/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
