The navigation toolbar on nautilus always shows an editable text version of the current folder. How do I get it to show clickable breadcrumbs?

I am running nautilus 3.4.2 on ubuntu 12.04.

Open a Terminal and run:
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry false
If you want to use the editable location bar temporarily,you can press Ctrl+L.To return back to breadcrumbs just press esc.

I wish it was that simple but no, that did not work. – Varun Aug 12 '12 at 21:01

I tried doing that using gconf-editor, but that didn't work. But your solution did, thanks! :) – Varun Aug 12 '12 at 21:25
Gnome3 replaced GConf with DConf/GSettings. Use dconf-editor (package dconf-tools) instead of gconf-editor – Florian Diesch Aug 12 '12 at 21:33
