Summary

Tie up some of the loose ends that were leftover after the nautilus design refresh work that has happened a while ago.

Current status

The nautilus actions branch has been merged upstream. The nautilus undo-delete notification work has been merged upstream. All of this is included in the 3.15.90 release.

Detailed Description

The nautilus code base will be cleaned up by porting it from the deprecated GtkAction APIs to GAction. As part of this, the view, gear and app menus will be updated to match the current designs. In addition, several long-standing annoyances will be addressed, such as the problematic floating statusbar, and the keyboard shortcut for deleting files.

Benefit to Fedora

A well-designed file manager with less annoyances makes the users of this application happy Fedora users.
