Other than usign xdotool to send F3 to nautilus when it starts. (which is a solution..)

I'm wondering if anything new as been included in the nautilus codebase that enable it in preferences to open up dual paned by default.

I really liked total commander when using windows.. and other than to running it in wine, i haven't found any other more linux native way to manage more intuitively files and folders. (in a gui context)

Having two panes open up that remember where i was prior to closing nautilus would be awesome if someone knows how enable it..
