This brief tutorial will show you how to configure Nautilus File Browser in Fedora to always show the location entry when browsing folders. This is helpful in that you can see the full path of the current folder in the location bar. If you’re new to Fedora, then this might be a good thing for you to enable.

Getting started:

To get started, read this post and install gconf-editor.

After installing gconf-editor, press Alt-F2 on your keyboard, then type the command below and click ‘Run’.

gconf-editor

Then navigate to apps –> nautilus –> preferences and check the box for ‘always_use_location_entry’

apps --> nautilus --> preferences

Next, try browsing folders in nautilus and you should see the full path of the current folder.

Enjoy!
