Re: nautilus html viewer
Hi Matt,
I've asked a related question a few days before to the
nautilus-list@gnome.org about why there's no viewer builtin.
Though it may be a kind of OT here, I dare to also post the answer...
In short, you have to edit the Mime-Types from the gnome-controlcenter. Let
html / htm point to your prefered browser-application ( e.g. galeon ).

nautilus 1.0.6 had a web view but it sucked pretty bad as a web browser to be
honest. With 1.0.6 you can build galeon 1.2 with nautilus support in order to
use nautilus as a web browser and it tends to work pretty well.
In nautilus 2.0 there was a html view based on gtkhtml but i believe it was
removed since it too didnt work very well as a web browser. In the future
galeon2 will provide the nautilus web view (this is dependent on a release of
mozilla based on gtk2).
In general it seems that nautilus is moving away from the explorer type dual
web browser file manager and more towards acting as a desktop shell (for lack
of a better term). There are some major ui differences between a web browser
and a shell and it seems that galeon just does a better job of being a web
browser while nautilus does a good job as being shell.
Of course some disagree with this...I dont want to make it seem like i am
talking for everyone.
