Accessing Special URI Locations

Nautilus has certain special URI locations that enable you to access particular functions from the file manager. For example, to access fonts, you can access the fonts:/// URI in a file manager window.

These are intended for advanced users: in most cases, an easier method of accessing the function or location exists.

Table 6-8 lists the special URI locations that you can use with the file manager.
