GNOME 45’s Nautilus File Manager Gets a Modern Full-Height Sidebar Layout
Nautilus in GNOME 45 already received a search performance boost, support for dropping images directly from web pages, an improved Grid View that now indicates starred files too, the ability to display bytes size as a tooltip for folder properties, and a more adaptive design for the sidebar.
