tabbed file browsing needed

[NerdFencer]

I'm not really sure where to post this, so please don't kill me if this isn't.
I think that what really needs to be added to the distro is tabbed file browsing (sort of like tabbed browsing in Firefox, but with the file browser, not a web browser)
At any given time I have allot of folders open, and it would be SO much better if they all shared a window.

Thanks for your report, that's known upstream you can track it and make your comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48034

The multiview branch which adds tabbed browsing was just merged into trunk upstream, which will likely be released as a part of GNOME 2.24. Thanks for reporting.
