Nautilus Has a New Look in GNOME 45

GNOME 45's Nautilus file manager received new "Search Everywhere" buttons to expand the search scope and a full-height sidebar layout.

Transfer progress over there on the left will have me puzzled for a while....
- Everything I use outside of gnome puts the back button in a common spot in the top-left corner of the given window. Why fix what isn't broken? That's gonna drive me nuts.
- Same. The redesign looks good tho IMO
Would be nice to have a tasks queue for copy actions and the like, i.e. prevent multiple IO tasks to/from the same drive and instead do them one by one.
Worst file manager I've used.
- I’ll balance this out… Nautilus is the best file manager I’ve used 🙂
  
  While I like Dolphin I always feel like there is too much going on.
  
  Having said that, nautilus should copy the terminal in a tab that dolphin does.
  
  It can't jump to a file or folder by typing, it immediately goes to search, which 80% of the time crashes the entire thing, and it lacks a ton of other very basic features where I'm questioning if people who use it even do anything more than browsing the web with their system.
- What do you use most / what's your favorite?
  
  KDE's Dolphin I use most. I haven't used a lot of others recently to really claim it to be my favorite though and I don't want to form an opinion on any that I used just for a short moment many years ago.
