Bug#262187: nautilus: File Browser vs. Folder Viewer in "View as"?

[faraway]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.6.3b-2
Severity: wishlist


Recently, nautilus has started opening folders in a single-use windowed
view, where each folder opens in a new window. I have to right-click on a
folder and select "browse" to get the nautilus browser I've grown to know
and love.

I've looked around and can't find a way to set the default behaviour
anywhere. I think it would go best in "Edit -> Preferences -> Behaviour" in
the nautilus file browser, so I would like to suggest that an option be
added there to specify if folders should be opened in a browser by default.
And if this option is buried somewhere else, could you please tell me where
so that I may set it?

Thanks,
  Tyler
