The GNOME developers behind the Nautilus project (now known as Files) have announced that 3.7.1 version is now available for download.

Nautilus may have changed its name to Files, but it will take a long time for users to get used to it. In any case, Files 3.7.1 is finally here and it comes with quite a few modifications.

Highlights of Files (Nautilus) 3.7.1:

• Recursive search for the simple engine has been turned on, again;
• Incremental loading for search directories has been enabled;
• Extra information has been added to image properties page;
• Free space pie chart is displayed for the local root filesystem;
• Symbolic links are resolved before launching a file;
• Black input field when renaming a file in icon view with XIM enabled has been fixed.

A complete list of changes can be found in the official changelog.

Download Files 3.7.1 (formerly known as Nautilus) sources right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a beta version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.

You will have to compile it. This means that you will need cmake, which is available in Ubuntu's repos.

Open a terminal, navigate to the uncompressed nautilus folder and run the following command:

./configure

It will check to see if all the dependencies are present. If something is missing, and there will be, install it, preferably with the help of Synaptic. Alter that run the following commands.

make
make install

restart the system and it should work.
