They might only solve a speed problem, and an icon movement problem. They still don't tackle the larger issue, which is an all-encompassing file type and metadata architecture for Linux / UNIX systems, an issue long shunned by developers.

Still nothing is done. > > Christophe -- Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) GPG key ID: 0xC1033CAD at keyserver.net
