How to enable Tree View in File Browse Nautilus in RHEL 6

After installing RHEL 6, the default configuration for browsing files, in the file browser (Nautilius 2.28.4, https://live.gnome.org/Nautilus), is to display catalog as icon. This display have never been my favorite, because it requires a lot of mouse clicking when browsing. A better layout is using the Tree View. To use the tree view, open Nautilius and:
  1. Open Preferences dialog, by clicking Edit -> Preference. See picture 1.
  2. In first tab select the lowest option Show only folders
  3. In the second tab select Always open in browser windows. See picture 2.
Picture 1: Nautilius Preference dialog, View tab.

Picture 2: Nautilius Preference dialog, Behavior tab.

If you want more extensions to Nautilius, check out the Nautilius extensions page - https://live.gnome.org/Nautilus/Extending.
