Subject: [BrailleNote] a word on file systems - overview and
technical
Hi all,
No, Joseph, we don't want a different file format. We want a
different file system of navigating between and among directories
and
files. What I would like, because I am accustomed to such things
is
the ability to navigate freely between directories,
subdirectories and
files in all these places. I would like to be able to press
enter on
a given file when in the menu and be taken to the word processor.
I
don't mind using computer braille to write my file and directory
names. I would love it if one could choose which way to have
one's
files displayed all the time. Me, I want directory mode all the
time,
and the ability to move up and down the tree easily. Something
like
My Computer would be great! No, I don't, most definitely don't
want a
"tree view" I hate them! But something like MY Computer that
listed
directories then files underneath would be absolutely wonderful!
Now, I realize that there are folks who use the BN and who don't
want
a full path system of files and directories. One should be able
to
press a space-t and toggle between these modes, but the mode
would
stay the same even if you were in the / directory. The folder
mode
would work as it does now. Some people like that, and they
wouldn't
dream of creating subdirs. They should be accommodated.
That's what we're talking about here, not format, but navigation.
Ann P.
