This mode is worse than useless because it is impossible to find,
it complicates the ongoing maintanence of the dialog, and if there
is important configuration in it we should be offering it by default
without a special hidden mode.

If you are going into that tab to change something we should assume
you are looking for something and not require you to click yet again.
Also, this saves some precious vertical screen space by not having
to put a button there.

We can just use the keyboard shortcuts for this. There are way too
many ways to open a file in the context menu. And we don't really
want to encourage relying on window management.

It is totally confusing to see properties for a folder mixed
up with settings that are used by the recursive permission
setting feature.

Those settings should be done as a separate dialog.

It is ambigious what it even does. It refers to making files
executable. You never want to turn execute permission off
on a directory and lock yourself out of it. This just shows
it when the selection is a file.

Don't need to show the free space when we show the volume
usage. It already shows that.

Don't insert free'd string pointers into the hash values.

This allows us to better match our development and test builds
to what people actually use. And to not silently disable features
due to missing dependencies at build time.

Now that the context menu is leaner this is a good choice.

This isn't necessary since the removal of spatial mode. Having
it as a hidden preference is counterproductive because it may
have been set before and it will silently break the behavior of
the current version.

This is not something we want to encourage as it basically
breaks the browser model.

Especially considering that the default GNOME theme does not do
text previewing it doesn't make sense to have two different settings.

Presenting a scary dialog by default isn't nice. The file manager
is not primarily an interface for launch applications. Some filesystems
mark all files as executable and it just sucks to keep asking when you
want to view text files. Also, any application launched this way is
going to suck. You won't have app tracking in the shell and showing
a terminal to users that don't expect it is really nasty.
