Just last week GNOME's Nautilus file manager "GNOME Files" made headlines for finally supporting Ctrl+INsert and Shift+Insert while this week there is more activity worth pointing out. Nautilus in GNOME 50 will be loading thumbnail images much faster than in prior versions.

With new thumbnail code merged this week for GNOME Files / Nautilus, the file manager is now making use of improvements in GTK4 and now allowing thumbnails to be loaded asynchronously.

Nautilus already features the tree-view as an option which lets you "jump" laterally, it's in the preferences as "Expandable Folders in List View". Personally i prefer moving up and down the file hierarchy, you have less information to process and you can navigate with the mouse button shortcuts.
