Files, also known as Nautilus, is the default file manager of the GNOME desktop. It provides a simple and integrated way of managing your files and browsing your file system.

Nautilus supports all the basic functions of a file manager and more. It can search and manage your files and folders, both locally and on a network, read and write data to and from removable media, run scripts, and launch applications. It has three views: Icon Grid, Icon List, and Tree List. Its functions can be extended with plugins and scripts.

New Window

Where to position newly open tabs in browser windows

If set to “after-current-tab”, then new tabs are inserted after the current tab. If set to “end”, then new tabs are appended to the end of the tab list.

Where to perform recursive search

Filter the search dates using either last used or last modified

Filter the search dates using either last used or last modified.

Whether to show a context menu item to delete permanently

If set to true, then Nautilus will show a delete permanently context menu item to bypass the Trash.

Whether to show context menu items to create links from copied or selected files

If set to true, then Nautilus will show context menu items to create links from the copied or selected files.

Whether to ask for confirmation when deleting files, or emptying the Trash

Speed tradeoff for when to show the number of items in a folder. If set to “always” then always show item counts, even if the folder is on a remote server. If set to “local-only” then only show counts for local file systems. If set to “never” then never bother to compute item counts.

Possible values are “single” to launch files on a single click, or “double” to launch them on a double click.

What to do with executable text files when they are activated (single or double clicked). Possible values are “launch” to launch them as programs, “ask” to ask what to do via a dialog, and “display” to display them as text files.

Show the package installer for unknown MIME types

Whether to show the user a package installer dialog in case an unknown MIME type is opened, in order to search for an application to handle it.

Mouse button to activate the “Forward” command in browser window

For users with mice that have buttons for “Forward” and “Back”, this key will set which button activates the “Forward” command in a browser window. Possible values range between 6 and 14.

Mouse button to activate the “Back” command in browser window

For users with mice that have buttons for “Forward” and “Back”, this key will set which button activates the “Back” command in a browser window. Possible values range between 6 and 14.

Speed trade-off for when to show a file as a thumbnail. If set to “always” then always thumbnail, even if the folder is on a remote server. If set to “local-only” then only show thumbnails for local file systems. If set to “never” then never bother to thumbnail files, just use a generic icon. Despite what the name may suggest, this applies to any previewable file type.

Images over this size (in megabytes) won’t be thumbnailed. The purpose of this setting is to avoid thumbnailing large images that may take a long time to load or use lots of memory.

The default sort-order for items in the icon view. Possible values are “name”, “size”, “type”, “mtime”, “atime” and “starred”.

If true, files in new windows will be sorted in reverse order. I.e., if sorted by name, then instead of sorting the files from “a” to “z”, they will be sorted from “z” to “a”; if sorted by size, instead of being incrementally they will be sorted decrementally.

This key is deprecated and ignored. The “show-hidden” key from “org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser” is now used instead.

What viewer should be used when searching

When searching Nautilus will switch to the type of view in this setting.

Whether to open the hovered folder after a timeout when drag and drop operation

If this is set to true, when performing a drag and drop operation the hovered folder will open automatically after a timeout.

Enable new experimental views

Whether to use the new experimental views using the latest GTK+ widgets to help giving feedback and shaping their future.

Whether to have full text search enabled by default when opening a new window/tab

Default format for compressing files

The format that will be selected when compressing files.

A list of captions below an icon in the icon view. The actual number of captions shown depends on the zoom level. Some possible values are: “size”, “type”, “date_modified”, “owner”, “group”, “permissions”, and “mime_type”.

Default icon view zoom level

A string specifying how parts of overlong file names should be replaced by ellipses, depending on the zoom level. Each of the list entries is of the form “Zoom Level:Integer”. For each specified zoom level, if the given integer is larger than 0, the file name will not exceed the given number of lines. If the integer is 0 or smaller, no limit is imposed on the specified zoom level. A default entry of the form “Integer” without any specified zoom level is also allowed. It defines the maximum number of lines for all other zoom levels. Examples: 0 — always display overlong file names; 3 — shorten file names if they exceed three lines; smallest:5,smaller:4,0 — shorten file names if they exceed five lines for zoom level “smallest”. Shorten file names if they exceed four lines for zoom level “smaller”. Do not shorten file names for other zoom levels. Available zoom levels: small, standard, large.
