GNOME's Nautilus 3.30 File Manager Delivering Some Pleasant Improvements

Feature development on GNOME 3.30 is nearing the end ahead of the stable desktop environment update premiering in September. Nautilus developer Carlos Soriano has provided a look at some of the improvements coming to GNOME's file manager for the 3.30 milestone.

GNOME's Nautilus 3.30 will be introducing a new toolbar design, an improved path bar, dynamic space resizing for icons, .desktop files are now treated as regular files, automatic testing and CI/CD with Flatpak, faster searching of recent files, and much more.

Past the Nautilus 3.30 release, the developers are already working on the GTK4 tool-kit port, better Flatpak capabilities, and other enhancements.
