The reason is: people went “whine, whine, whine, I get loads of windows all over my desktop, whine, whine” and someone decided to fix the problem by completely breaking the point of a spatial file manager. Bah. I was deeply unhappy about this, especially since it got whipped in five nanoseconds before Hoary was released afaict. If they’ve decided that the spatial approach is wrong then I might disagree with them, but at least they’d have made a decent decision. But now they’ve gone from proper spatial to a half-arsed spatial, which is rubbish. Apparently a patch to make the preference user-visible (gconf doesn’t count, although that’s what I did too ) is done and will be integrated.

Thank you for clearing that up.

They made a very bad decision in my opinion.

It’s as spatial as before I think.

Before :

double left clic -> open in a new window

double middle clic -> open in a new window and close the old one.

Now:

double left clic -> open in a new window

and close the old one.

double middle clic -> open in a new window

For me it’s a good thing…
