[Nautilus-list] Suggestion.



I'm attaching a program that I was working on for MacOS 8.6/9.0.
It's a file manager much like the NeXT browser.
It's based on parts of Greg's Browser, Simple Browser and the MacOS X
Finder.
I don't have a working copy since it is still in heavy development.
But the picture is of what I want it to be idealy.
I think that UNIX really really really needs a NeXT browser type of thing.
I also know it is not that hard to do especially on UNIX systems.
I like the idea of having many directories/folders in one window, it's much
more effecient and saves the proc and mem a lot of work.
Also. I don't know how far you are with Favourites/Bookmarks but they are
definantly a must.  As well as the History/Go menu/option.

On a more technical note; I know that GTK has a tab widget that would be a
lot better than the gray tabs you have right now. I don't know if you have
seen Internet Exporer 5.0 for MacOS but it has one of the best tab systems
ever. If you don't like that one please, I beg of you check out Evolution in
CVS. It has a very awesome way of organizing stuff. The code is open source
so you can take use what you need.

I was also wondering if you were going to use GTKHTML to make a light-weight
web browser part of the Nautilus. That would be very useful.

One more question... Will you be using XML at all for anything?

Thanks,
Tony

I stood there attention to the west.
Her eyes were green.
The sky was blue
She turned to me
She says "I can't see?"
I says "See what?"
"I can't see the sun" she says.
So I turned to the left,
And took one step to the south.
Now that's something I'll regret.
