additional file bar cannot be added permanently

[Matthias Go]

Binary package hint: nautilus

The second file bar that is activated via F3 is not available after restart of nautilus anymore.

nautilus version: 2.32.0
ubuntu 10.10

To reproduce:
1. start nautilus
2. press F3. (second file bar occurs)
3. close nautilus and restart it
4. the second file bar is not there any more

Expected behavior:
Second file bar is visible after restart of application

If this is the intended behavior it is not consistent with behavior of the other bars as they can be added permantly.

comment from upstream:

"That's not a sidebar, but an additional view pane, so I don't think it makes
much sense to have an option for it to be always on.

What's your use case?"

[Matthias Go (matthias-gorgs)]

It's the same use case(s) why you use an additional view pane at all:
- you can use drag&drop
- you can open/see different directories simultaneously

You should give the user the choice of adding the additional view pane
permanently. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate that.

An option would be nice :)
