This chapter describes how to use the Nautilus file manager.
The Nautilus file manager provides an integrated access point to your files and applications. You can use the file manager to do the following:
Create folders and documents.
Display your files and folders.
Manage your files and folders.
Run scripts.
Customize your files and folders.
Open special URI locations.
Write data to a CD.
You can access your files and folders in the following ways:
Browse your files and folders
The file browser window enables you to navigate between folders by changing the current location of the file manager within a file browser window.
Navigate your files and folders as objects
The file manager can also represent your files and folders as individual objects. Each file or folder is displayed in an individual file object window. When you open files or folders from file object windows, each file or folder opens a new window.
Nautilus also manages the desktop. The desktop lies behind all of the other components on your visible desktop. The desktop is an active component of the user interface.
