“Hate to rain on the Eazel lovefest, but if there’s one thing I
find myself using constantly to save time in MacOS it’s the “View
by ‘list'” option in the finder. Why? Because it lets me see the
contents of more than one directory at one time; to any level in
any of those opened directories-all the way down. To the best of my
knowledge, Windows has never been able to do that and still can’t
with its bullshit dual-pane File Manager/Explorer. I still have to
bounce up and down the tree and back and forth between those two
stupid panes to see how the contents of one directory compares to
that of another.”
“It’s both laughable and pathetic that Windows can’t show me my
environment any better, and it’s especially disturbing and pathetic
that precious Eazel appears to be wedded to the same ossified path
(it’s truly disturbing and pathetic that OS X is headed the same
way,) as well as most of the X Windowing System file managers for
Linux. No wonder I, a loyal Mac user since the days of the LC II,
find myself in console mode so much when the G3 is booted into
Linux.”
“Do you or Andy Hertzfeld know Aqua at all? … There is nothing
like the multiple-pane browser in Nautilus. This device is simply
the most advanced thing for quick navigation of complex data
structures available. … In Aqua you have this advanced data
browser, and if you want it, the simple, one-window web navigator
like approach (like Windows and now Nautilus provide). And of
course, multiple window operation EXACTLY like the current
Finder.”
