For example, your bookmarks - are in your bookmarks.xml file and the list of your news sources - and whether each one is displayed is stored in your - news_channels.xml file. These files are installed when you run - Nautilus if they are not present. If you would like to set them - back to their initial default state, simply quit Nautilus, delete - the file you would like to reset, and then start Nautilus. - </para> - - <para> - <emphasis role="bold">Nautilus Metadata Files</emphasis> - </para> - - <para> - For each folder you browse, Nautilus stores metadata such as - thumbnails of the images in the folder and custom configuration the - user does to the folder. This may include custom backgrounds, - icons, icon positions, and notes. If you have write permission - to the folder, the thumbnails are stored in the folder in a hidden - folder called .thumbnails and any custom configuration information - is stored in a hidden file called .nautilus-metafile.xml. If you - do not have write permission to the folder, this information is - stored in the .nautilus folder inside your home folder. - </para> - - <para> - <emphasis role="bold">Updating Your News</emphasis> - </para> - - <para> - New versions of Nautilus often update their default News list. - However, it will not change your news file if you have one already - installed.
