Click to hide left panel

[IceWil]

With the original nautilus, clicking on resize handle hides left panel.
With nautilus elementary, clicking on resize handle shrinks left panel a bit.
It's annoying.

I don't understand the behavior you're talking about, if your talking about the close icon button present on the sidebar of stock nautilus, then no, nautilus-elementary won't have this ugly half useless thing. Because once your sidebar is close the button is gone with it so u have to go in the menu to re enable the sidebar. half useful/half useless button.

just checked on stock nautilus 2.31.6 present in maverick the resize is exactly the same than nautilus-elementary not a big surprise thought like it's the same source code :P

u got F9 keyboard shortcut to show/hide the sidebar

Nautilus has this behaviour. If it's not a feature, it should be.

Nautilus Elementary has this behaviour, you necessarily changed the code I suppose.

well like i said the behavior you're talking about don't exist in official nautilus 2.31.6 neither. I just tried it you can resize the sidebar that's all, there no hiding magic. nautilus-elementary is based on git developpement version of nautilus.

Furthermore it would be a gtk issue because there's nothing in the code which hide a pane if you click on the separator. Or i am blind :)

I don't understand, it's the default behaviour with Ubuntu on 3 different computers.
I searched the code for you, I think it's here : http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/libnautilus-private/nautilus-horizontal-splitter.c
It's a HPaned which can resize from the left component size to 0 and save old size (splitter_collapse function) and the opposite from 0 to the saved size (splitter_expand function).
I think you probably delete the ScrolledWindow, so the HPaned can just collapse to the TreeView minimum size.
Maybe I am wrong, but the code seems to follow my behaviour.

(Sorry if my english is bad)

thanks for pointing that code out, indeed it should act as u said. Afaik in 2.31.6 it don't.
Don't know where it's coming from.

"I don't understand, it's the default behaviour with Ubuntu on 3 different computers."
which ubuntu version? maverick, lucid? which nautilus version?

maybe checking the commit we ll found what was modified, but first i need to know where it worked before.
because actually on 2.31.6 u can't even resize the sidebar with a 0 width, so the collapse thing just don't work.

On Lucid, with Nautilus 2.30.1
