I never asked you to agree with me :), I was simply stating my
annoyances with Nautilus. I understand some people want a very simple
file manager like Windows Explorer and I respect that, but I don't want
that and a split screen button can be added and it would not effect your
experience at all.

I have written that script already, but I consider it annoying that I
need to write a script for something that could be a single button in a
program. A script I would never expect a new computer user like my wife
to use. So, I am forced to put the script on her desktop and every
other person I help when I could instead simply tell them to click a
button in the program. Also, I don't like these small nautilus scripts
taking up very valuable space on my desktop when they should be in the
program. A script that needs to open up multiple instances of the same
program when I could have only one instance of the program running and
doing the same thing.

Yes, I know and that is one thing I do like about Nautilus, the command
line options.
