I think it's an important physiological aspect to consider when writing software, but I don't think that consideration and application of the concept immediately results in a spatial file manager being the best solution for managing files. It turns out that most users don't like or understand how it works. "Making it spatial" doesn't actually mean anything. It's not something you aim for. It's just part of the process of understanding how to make software work really well for bipedal humanoids with opposable thumbs. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2006: Dunedin, New Zealand http://linux.conf.au/ "The Vines are the latest pretenders to the thrown." - Vines review by liv4now.com _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
