The new version has a small panel at the top of the directory browser that's designed to give users easy access to USB drives and the directory view.

One of the removed features included the Places view, because the directory browser was more useful.

In previous updates the Raspberry Pi Desktop's built-in PCmanFM file manager gained a paired back default mode that removed rarely used functions.
