Re: An object Oriented File Manager Design

["Manuel Amador (Rudd-O)" <amadorm usm edu ec>]

I liked this.  But there's a need to pay attention to keyboard using 
people.  How do you plan to open a context menu or provide multiple 
selections? (both questions already answered by many file managers now). 
If this is done, I'd feel like I'm back on Windows 95, whose folder 
behavior I really liked.  Just folders, nothing else, absolutely 
spartan, quick and easy to use.  It's when they started adding toolbars 
and web views that they fucked it up.
