Adding this directory for the GNU FDL. This is a temporary solution. When
2001-01-24 Dan Mueth <dan@eazel.com>
* user-guide/gnufdl: Adding this directory for the GNU FDL.
This is a temporary solution. When GNOME 1.4 is out, we
will have gnome-core installing 'fdl' and we will point to
that instead of 'gnufdl'.
* user-guide/C/: Removing old docs stuff, and adding Vera's
new docs.

- <title>Launching Nautilus</title>
-
- <para>
- Nautilus can be launched from three locations:
- from the GNOME main menu, where the Nautilus
- menu item can be found under Applications; from
- the GNOME desktop itself; or from the Panel.
- </para>

- <para>
- If you wish to put the Nautilus icon (Figure 1), on
- your desktop, select the Nautilus menu item and,
- holding down the left mouse button, drag it to the
- desktop.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Probably the easiest way to launch Nautilus is
- from the GNOME panel (Figure 2). To place the
- icon there, drag the menu item, as above, to an
- empty space on the panel at the bottom of the
- screen. This method has the advantage of speed:
- the panel is nearly always present, and is at most
- only a click away. The icon itself needs only one
- click to launch Nautilus.

- <title>Nautilus Elements</title>
-
- <para>
- The major elements of the Nautilus file manager
- include, in the upper part, the menu bar, tool bar
- and location bar, and below, the sidebar and the
- main window (Figure 3).
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The menu bar is used to access the pull-down
- menus, which are the most complete source of
- Nautilus tools and features. The tool bar provides
- quick access to Nautilus most common
- navigation and search tools, and Eazel Services.
- The location bar displays system directory
- location, LAN location, and Internet location-
- depending on where Nautilus is looking at the
- given moment.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The main window is the main viewing area for the
- systems directories and files, as well as the area
- where directories and files are generally manipu-
- lated. It is capable of showing files in several
- formats, and includes file information such as
- size, type, and date last modified.

- (recently viewed files and directories), and a
- variety of Linux help documents.

- <sect1 id="ch1-navigation">
- <title>Navigating and Viewing The System</title>
-
-
- <para>
- Nautilus offers several methods to navigate the
- system. Typing a directory address into the
- location bar will point Nautilus toward that
- location. The directional arrows on the tool bar
- provide a simpler method to navigate back,
- forward, and up through the system: they function
- exactly as in a browser. Clicking on a directory
- icon in the main window will open that directory.
- Finally, clicking the collapsible branches of the
- sidebars tree view allows the user to graphically
- view and navigate the directory tree.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The file manager minimizes the necessity of
- opening applications by identifying many file
- types graphically. Viewer components allow
- several common document types to be displayed
- without launching a separate application, and a
- zoom feature provides one-click zooming in and
- out in the main window. Sound files in certain
- common formats can even be previewed by
- simply passing the mouse over the file icon.
- </para>
-
- <sect2 id="ch1-navigation-hardware">
- <title>The Initial Screen and Hardware Overview</title>
-
- <para>
- The first screen to appear (Figure 4), shows the
- contents of your home directory (note: the first screen
- will be the Nautilus sub-directory if the Beginner mode was
- selected). In this example,
- the user has logged in under their own name-
- John-so the home directory is /home/john.
- Linux follows the UNIX convention for home
- directories: if the user had logged in as Susan, the
- home directory would be /home/susan; when
- logged in as the root user, the home directory is root.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The file manager identifies this directory in two
- ways: as a traditional command line directory
- address in the location bar, and as a captioned
- folder icon in the sidebar.

- To expand the directory structure, click once on

- directory, but not automatically expand the view
- in the main window. Notice in Figure 11 that
- although the tree in the sidebar is expanded to /T/
- ARCHIVE/Redhat/ETC, the main window and
- the location bar are still showing the folders
- within /home/john.

- The layout of files in the main window can be a
- major factor in the ease and speed of file identification.
- The default method of laying out files,
- alphabetically according to file names, is appropriate
- under certain conditions, i.e.: when the
- files in a directory are all of a similar type, with
- well designed names following a similar pattern.
- However, file identification using this layout can

- <title>Free Software</title>
-
- <para>
- Like Linux and GNOME, Nautilus is Free Software, a method
- of software distribution which encourages innovation, improvement
- and timely bug fixes, and to which Eazel, Inc., the Nautilus
- maintainer, is committed.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Fundamentally, the General Public License (or
- GPL, under which Linux, GNOME and Nautilus
- are licensed), insists that an application must always
- be accompanied by its source code, that the
- code can be freely modified, and that the user (or
- purchaser) of software distributed under this license
- agrees to in turn distribute their own source
- code under the same license, when distributing, or
- selling, a modified application.
- </para>
-
-
- <para>
- It can be seen that distributing software under the
- GPL license does not prohibit selling software,
- and in fact many companies do sell Linux distributions
- and applications. The license does insist
- on the free sharing, and distribution, of source
- code. And it is this open code distribution
- policy which the Free Software movement believes
- will eventually result in more innovatory, less
- troublesome, and more useful software.
- </para>

-
- <sect1 id="intro-history">
- <title>Nautilus History</title>
-
- <para>
- Nautilus can trace its Free Software lineage back
- to the text-based Midnight Commander file man-
- ager (still available on some Linux distributions).
- The X Window version followed. Developing
- from that base, Eazel has produced in Nautilus a
- next-generation GUI that integrates file management,
- web browsing, and system management.
- </para>

-
- <sect1 id="intro-platforms">
- <title>Supported Platforms and Distributions</title>
-
- <para>
- Although initially developed on the Red Hat Linux 6.2
- platform, Nautilus is being written for
- cross-platform and multi-version operability in
- short, to operate on every platform that GNOME
- will operate on.
