    It looks nice but its still missing a folder tree on the side panel. As a Mac user at my work the Multi column view is still strange for me – I think that’s because until today there is no similar browsing style on any other platform. But what bugs me most in GNOME file manager is this renaming dialog for single files – this should be inline like on every other file manager and accessible via one click on the file name. Renaming multiple files is okay, but I think I will stay with Nemo – so I keep hopes up for GNOME 46.

      Honestly, I do not like renaming by clicking the file name. On windows I have accidentally renamed my files so many times when just trying to open them. I used to be very confused, because the feature is not explained anywhere and there is no visual indication of it.

      Gnome tries to make the UI as easy to use (for non-technical people) as possible and that is probably why this feature is missing.

      The Marlin GTK 3 file manager supported miller columns (the feature you are describing which is similar to the one in Finder). Hover it was abandoned. The Elementary project is maintaining a fork called Pantheon Files.
