Re: Gnome Nautilus: How to Open Same Folder in Same Window

[Kejia <w.kejia@gmail.com>]

Hi,

My steps:
0) Show the Desktop, and there is one folder A;
1) Double click folder A's icon and open the folder A in the window #1;
2) Show the Desktop;
3) Double click folder A's icon again, but this time a new window is 
open to show folder A's content. We call the second one as window #2.

Window #1 and window #2 are two different windows. And I prefer window 
#1 is refocused on when I double click folder A's icon again.

Thank you for your endless patience!
