The next version of Gnome 3.30 will come with improvements in Nautilus

Gnome 3.30

As most Gnome users should know we are practically just over a month to official release of the new version of the Gnome desktop environment, with which they would be fulfilling their established development calendar.

During this process, new features are proposed and launched and in the same process they are polished so that they are fully integrated with the environment and thus offer an optimal desktop environment to users.

One of the coolest new features that have emerged during this development cycle is the support for the creation of the GNOME environment for the ARM64 architecture (AArch64). Therefore, it is possible to run on multiple ARM hardware, including the future Librem 5 smartphone.

The new version of the GNOME desktop environment is bringing new features and improvements to most of its main components and applications.

Nautilus is also in the focus of the matter and will be receiving important improvements. Nautilus is one of the most important components of GNOME, since Nautilus allows users to manage their files and folders on the operating system.

The promise is that there will be improvements to the way Flatpak works. So in the next version of Gnome 3.30 it will come with improvements in Nautilus.

What's new at Nautilus

First, the Nautilus file manager will be receiving new features and enhancements that have recently been revealed as part of the Gnome 3.30 beta.

The Nautilus file manager also you'll be getting a much better Flatpak experience for users and developers.

As well it is planned to include a search engine in the file manager to find recent files, in addition to including support to delete the desktop directory.

Another new feature planned is right mouse button use on expanders and better handling of bad files in the Nautilus file manager.
