The Files nightly flatpak can be a useful way to test, since this allows running the new version of the file manager on an existing Fedora 36 installation. To install it, run the following in the terminal:
<code>flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists gnome-nightly https://nightly.gnome.org/gnome-nightly.flatpakrepo</code>
<code>flatpak install org.gnome.NautilusDevel</code>
Known bugs with this Flatpak compared with the packaged version:
* In the open with dialog, the full list of apps isn't available
These issues can be safely ignored when testing.
