Re: The future direction of the Nautilus UI

[Gonzalo Odiard <gonza_asa asatej com ar>]

Please don't make a stupid Nautilus only for a idea about a ideal OO 
paradigm.
In the case of a file system, this have a struct when the navigation and 
the location have sense.
When a user understand the struct can obtain more of the context.
Taking out the tree or the navigation bar, the Nautilus is not more 
usable. Is more stupid.
I think we must first make the actual Nautilus more performant, 
capable,etc,  and next search new
posibilities like view the directories in 3D with colors and surfaces 
depending of the data or any
other metaphor you like with optional views.
I am very ignorant but can make a view for xml files easily and think 
extensibility of Nautilus
is very important for the future of the aplication. In this form we can 
have a stable aplication with
many optionals, experimentals capabilities.
A site with information of the views and plugins may be a good idea.
