Hello,

A few months have passed since the above message 
has been posted. So, I just download the current 
trunk of nautilus from svn and installed on my 
ubuntu feisty. Now I am using nautilus 2.19.5, 
but it still does not offer the column view.

Thus I wanted to know whether the column view is 
still something that is going to come to 
nautilus? (Of course without the features that 
could have issues with patents; for example 
spring-loaded folders.)

Or maybe it is already available, but it is me, 
who does not know how to get and install it?

In any case, thanks in advance for any uptodate 
information about the column view.
