Nautilus Easy Union is a Nautilus extension (comes as a stand-alone application too, but it requires Nautilus anyway) that allows you to create a "union point" which is basically a folder that displays the contents of other (multiple) directories. You can use it for easily accessing all your pictures, music, videos or other files from a single location.





To understand better what Nautilus Easy Union does, here's an example: suppose you keep your videos in multiple folders like: /videos /home/your_username/videos and /sdb3/videos. Using Nautilus Easy Union, you can create a folder that lists the contents of all these 3 folders. This new folder will display all the files in these 3 directories. You can also write to that folder - Nautilus Easy Union has an option which allows you to select the actual "real" folder where the files will be written.
