Bug#1031110: nautilus: tree view no longer available in list view mode

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: nautilus
Version: 43.2-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: morph at debian.org

Hello,
i consider this a severe regression, hence the higher-than-usual severity.

In Files/nautilus 43.2, in list view, it's no longer possible to also have the
tree view (it's not enable by default nor there an option in the Preference menu
for it that i could find).

For reference, this image is what i am referring to as tree view:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/mKSOd.png where you can see the content of a directory
by clicing the little arrow on the left (as opposed to cd-ing into it, which
makes it hard to move files around in a complex directories tree).

I found an article
https://blogs.gnome.org/antoniof/2022/06/15/the-tree-view-is-undead-long-live-the-column-view%E2%80%BD/
and it's relevant MR
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/817 that suggests this
should be part of Gnome 43, but in this case it clearly not.

Can you please re-add tree view in time for bookworm?

thanks,
Sandro
