No Preference for "Show UP button"

[Lonnie Lee Best]

I appreciate elegance, but I despise not having an Up button in Ubuntu's current version of Nautilus.

A file system is a hierarchy, and some times I just want an UP-button that I can repeat-click to climb that hierarchy all the way back to root.

Currently, Nautilus provides a fancy dancy button-representation of the hierarchy, where you can click the 2nd-to-right-most button to go UP a directory. But these buttons require more observation and mouse-movement versus repeat-clicking a good old UP button.

Also, Nautilus currently offers a BACK button, but "back" doesn't always mean UP.

Even if the developers have no intention of putting an UP button in the default Nautilus, I wished they'd at least provide people like me a custom preference to "Show UP button".
