Toggle between button and text-based location bar Nautilus - Lucid

[Awareness]

As its been said in this thread before... just go to gconf-editor and uncheck apps>nautilus> preferences> always_use_location_entry

Why on earth would they have removed the button to toggle between the two anyway?? It was so useful!

Yuck I have no idea, I've been watching all the poor choices in Microsoft UI changes (for example taking away the up button in windows explorer) now Linux is doing the same type of annoying stuff.

+1

yes please Mr Mark Shuttleworth, bring back the toggle button (or at least, make the ctrl+l toggle it)

[nitrofurano]

ctrl+l works

+1 for we want the Nautilus Location bar Toggle Button back

That is a "Toggle Button" to toggle between:
button-based and text-based location bar Nautilus,
it was at the left edge of the Nautilus Location bar before Ubuntu 10.04
I found it to be very useful and innovative

Summarization:

Now
A) Pressing "Ctrl+L" will switch (not toggle) from button-based-location to text-based-location
(temporarily, for a specific nautilus instance and location, navigate away & it reverts.
B) Pressing "Esc" will switch (not toggle) from text-based-location to button-based-location
C) Pressing "/" also switches (not toggles) the location bar to text-based-location (with Only a: "/" and no current text-based-location showing)
D) Applications > accessories > Terminal > you@:~$ sudo gconf-editor > /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry = ADD Checkmark
gconf-editor's own Description: "If set to true, then Nautilus browser windows will always use a textual input entry for the location toolbar, instead of the pathbar" ("always" Doesn't = Toggle)
E) The file responsible for button layout of Nautilus is
located here: /usr/share/nautilus/ui/nautilus-navigation-window-ui.xml
(wise to make a back-up copy first, before altering)

...maybe how can we edit "E)" above to get a button ?
or there is a newer solution some place else ?
Thanks

I wouldn't mind not having the toggle button if only I could make those breadcrumb buttons come back (typing / or ctrl+l would work fine for me). The gconf-editor solution doesn't work on my pc. I also tried the commands suggested earlier, but this text mode just won't go away. Any hints welcome.
