This appears to be for Thunar. Good example of an alternative to Nautilus though.

Nautilus is exactly like this upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/Nautilus-3.10.0.png for me. Assuming "Menu" is the button with arrow down icon, then no Tree option (Sidebar / F9 exists, but already tested).

Good answer, and culprit found. Quote - "It is the list view after all. Tree models don't work well on touch and it isn't consistent with the file chooser." Such contraversial decisions should always be left with user-customisable option. For me the left tree is invaluable, beacuse it is independently scrollable to the right pane, and so allows you to drag/drop between folders, and switch view between folders.

a feature loved by 99% peoples is removed for the sake of 1% peoples who use Nautilus on a touch screen! I'm exaggerating but, I hope he got a good reason while removing a feature
