How to have nautilus window divided into two or three columns (like mac) Miller Columns?

  • 772

I would like the nautilus windows look like a mac :

When you click on a folder (in the part 1 of screen), the content of this folder was display (in part 2 of screen)

It's very useful when you have many files.

It's possible to have this functionality in Ubuntu?

    There is a marlin fork:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pantheon-files

    Update 3: The instructions below are outdated, and Marlin may no longer be maintained? Thank you @kipbits for bringing this to my attention!

    Update: So for gnome 3.

    Perhaps Marlin

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marlin-devs/marlin-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install marlin
sudo apt-get install marlin-plugin-*

    What you are looking for is a Columns View capable window/file manager as seen (here). Nautilus is still discussing whether to include Miller Columns.

    For gnome2/nautilus themes:

    Install and configure a new theme. (like this) Download (mac4lin)
