Back in Ubuntu 18.04, my memory is that with multiple tabs open in nautilus (or whatever the graphical folder system is called) I could simply click and hold a tab and then dragging it outside of the current folder window would open that tab in its own window. This no longer works for me. Additionally, right clicking a tab doesn't give an "open in new window" option either.


I suppose I might be making up this functionality before, but I really thought it worked this way. So is there a simple way to move existing tabs to new windows in 20.04? Thanks!

If (as Levente suggests) the user wishes to open a folder in a stand alone window it can be done by right clicking on the folder required and selecting Open in New Window.
