Bug Description

Nautilus become unusable from Oneiric. In Precise it's unusable too.
So normal users (not geeks) who updated their 10.04 to 12.04 will be very sad if they will not have Up, Reload and Home buttons in Nautilus toolbar. We already have a solution, described in ubuntuforums (patching original Nautilus source) - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1904510.
It maybe difficult to do for newbies.

There is a bug for it in RedHat: - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=761444.
Back-button bug in Ubuntu: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/885592.

Please add missed buttons (Up, Home and Reload) to the Nautilus toolbar.

overstatements are also of no user, that's barrely something making nautilus "unusable", why would you need a "reload" when the view refresh when something change, you have access to your user dir on the left panel locations and "up" is accessible from the menus and keyboard

OK, maybe you are right. So we really need only Up button.

We already have the bug for it here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/885592) and in GNOME (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662243).

Just my opinion: The 'up' button is one single-click and very convenient, for me more convenient than 'previous' and 'next'. I think it would be much better if the user could configure/decide which buttons are showing up and which are not, rather than having one of them removed 'arbitrarily'.
