Reset File Association in Linux From Nautilus
If you have ever experienced, for example, installing an application that turned out change the way how a file is opened. For example, to open a txt file in gnome, gedit is used.

Nautilus Hidden Feature: Directory Note
Directory notes, is a little hidden feature of nautilus. Using it, you will be able to write down a note about anything you want to write in particular directory. To access it, all you have to do is:
Add Emblem To File or Directory via Nautilus
Having so many folder on my home directory makes
me need some way to distinguish it. Yes, directory name could to that. But, I need something more, some sign or emblem to be embedded within the directory images. Here's the plus value of nautilus came. Nautilus has a built-in support for adding emblem. To add it, you just have to go to Menu » Edit » Background and Emblems.... From here, we can drag an emblem and drop in on directory of our choice. Voila, you have emblem on your directory!.
Btw, using this window, we can add a background color or pattern to directory. But, you have to be in "View as icons" mode to be able to do it.
Thing I Miss From Konqueror That Not Available on Nautilus
When I use KDE, konqueror is my best friend. I use it all the time. For viewing, browsing file, open some FTP site, browse windows's shared folder, etc. I browse text file most of the time. If I need to peek the content, I just need to hover my mouse to the file and a tooltip (large tooltip actually) will pop up with some file text content in it. See screen shot for reference. This one little feature is what I missed in nautilus. Is someone know how do I enable it or there's no such feature right now? If there isn't then I should have sent a feature request to gnome.
