Comment 4 for bug 1629651

It is even less intuitive when it's a secondary partition that is a permanent part of the main filesystem tree. For example, I keep my work files on a separate partition, but it's always mounted in /home/david/data. So, if I open Nautilus it'll show my home directory. Then, as soon as I double-click the “data” mountpoint, the Nautilus window “moves” from the Nautilus icon to the Data drive icon.

I'm fine using the drive icon to mount it, but once it's open I always try to find the window in the Nautilus icon. I can't seem to get used to this idea that local files are on Nautilus but external files are not (even though they are open in the Nautilus application).

I've been using Ubuntu as my main OS for years, and this behavior still trips me up. I think it's safe to assume that if I haven't gotten used to this behavior by now, it's not gonna happen. If this is the way it's supposed to be and novice users don't get confused by it, can we at least have an option in Settings to group all Nautilus windows under the Nautilus icon?
