Nautilus 42 is already in the daily builds of Ubuntu 22.04
Fulfilling the promise of bringing GNOME 42 apps to the next system, Nautilus 42 is already
in the daily builds of Ubuntu 22.04.
Those testing the upcoming Ubuntu 22.04 release can take a look at the latest version of Nautilus,
the default file manager in Ubuntu.
Did not understand?.
Nautilus 42 is already in the daily builds of Ubuntu 22.04!
Yes.
Nautilus 42 is already in the daily builds of Ubuntu 22.04.
Nautilus 42 was released as part of the recent GNOME 42 beta and is jumping to Jammy Jellyfish,
albeit in a version that lacks the libadwaita fix offered on the GTK4 port.
Ubuntu 21.10 shipped with Nautilus 40, so Ubuntu 22.04 shipped with Nautilus 42 means
there is a larger changelog than usual, with an improved file conflict UI, file rename
UI Improved and support for file searching based on creation time included.
Nautilus now also shows compressed files in the Recent Files section, which complements
the tweaked “Compress…”
dialog box and support for creating password-protected Zip files that debuted in version 41.0.
Resizing Nautilus windows with grid view enabled is now more fluid as the EelCanas based grid
view has been deprecated.
Nautilus' iconic pathbar also undergoes a minor redesign, although (visible in the hero
image) the "theme" of this pathbar looks less than ideal in the Adwaita-based Ubuntu Yaru
theme.
Hopefully Yaru's theme makers can refine the look and feel before the final 22.04 release
in April.
I think it's fair to say that if there's one app I know pretty much every Ubuntu user,
it's Nautilus.
Improvements, however small, that make it faster and more functional are always welcome.

An attentive transition that makes a good impression
GNOME 42 Features a Subtle, Yet Classy, Touch
GNOME 42 as it readied its formal beta build — but belated or not, I want to spotlight
one of these changes in particular.
Brace yourself: this is quite a “minor” tweak!
But in GNOME 42 switching between the (all-new) light and dark preference in the Settings
app makes the entire desktop, windows, widgets, and wallpaper, gracefully transition between
states.
There’s no blink, hiccup, or stutter but a smooth, seamless fade.
And it looks classy as heck:
Will this wonderfully bit of whimsy woo anyone weirded out by non-Windows systems?
On its own it won’t.
But as frivolous as this fluid flourish may seem, I reckon it bolsters the GNOME desktop’s
modern credentials a fair bit.
Even if not everyone appreciates it, this kind of attentive detailing helps to imbue
the whole system with the feeling it moves as a cohesive, lithe whole.
And that kind of intangible reassurance often goes a long way with certain kinds of users.
Plus, it just looks good, innit
