When I copy, move, or delete a file in Nautilus or using the corresponding commands (cp, mv, or rm) does the same tool perform the action behind the wraps?
I ask because nautilus tends to hang on big files or too many files. I have the impression that it's not that efficient.
|
No it doesn't just make calls to cp, mv, etc.
Rather, it makes calls to a GTK+ library that contains wrapper functions around C/C++ system libraries that also contain functions. It is these C/C++ functions that are shared across Nautilus and commands such as cp, mv, etc.

I've mounted a networked filesystem in GNOME by clicking on the icon in the left of Nautilus. However, when I use the terminal, I can't figure out how to access that filesystem. Is it possible?
|
Nautilus uses GVFS to mount networked filesystems. Unlike its predecessor GnomeVFS, GVFS includes a FUSE bridge so that non GVFS-aware applications can still access GVFS data.
That means that there are two ways to do this: using the FUSE bridge, or using the native GVFS tools.
