Is macosx still using this kind of spring loaded folders ? Moreover, us patents are so crazy that if you start paying attention to them, you won't write any software. I'm quite sure I can find a patent which may apply to the idea of gnome-vfs modules, or to a file manager with themeable folders, or whatever. Will you stop distributing nautilus if I find such a patent ? I really wish nobody noticed this spring loaded thing was patented, this would have gotten included without much fuss and worries :) Christophe
