I want to know does nautilus maintain any Navigation History file of visited folders.

  • If yes then where it is storing its history ?
  • If not then is it possible to monitor the nautilus either using script or using any packages and create a history file ?

The nautilus itself doesn't keep logging history, but you can find history of what you have done in the file ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

From here you can just invoke a script or search by hand for what you want.

Hope this could help

  • `~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel` only store a file name when it has been used. Suppose I am going to `~/Picture` folder and coming back to `~/` , then it is not going to store `~/Picture` in it's list. – g_p Mar 07 '14 at 08:57
  • Yes that's right for that I stated in my answer that it doesn't keep a logging history. this is just a workaround that can benefit you a little – Maythux Mar 07 '14 at 08:59
