I pretty much agree with everything Nicolas proposed. Here's my own
short
(or not-so-short) list:
hmm, most of them won't find their way probably in 0.1 release.
1. Filemanager optimized for search/filtering (even if we don't force
everyone to use the flat (folderless) home folder I've mentioned
previously, I would like to be able to try it to see if it makes me
more
productive)
2. Metadata, both inherent (file type, date created, owner, etc) and
user-defined. Should be editable via an inspector/Get Info-type panel
3. ShareWith.app (I've mentioned before on discuss-gnustep) or
something
similar to what Nicolas proposes below
I agree with everything above.
4. No applications -- just commands or "Application Components" that
can
be used on specific types of data. Think of the OS X Font Selection
Palette -- developers would build components like these instead of
applications, and these components/palettes would be associated with
specific types of data (image, text, person) -- if a user installed
that
palette, it would be available whenever the associated data was being
edited. This saves from developers having to duplicate efforts, and
leads
to a more document-centric workflow.
For just a few examples:
a) An Adjust Image Colors command, that could be used on any image
type anywhere, whether that image is embedded in a report or is just a
photo you have in your photo library
b) Text Size Change command, that will change the size of text in
annotations or text documents or layered graphic images or on document
labels or wherever text might be used
c) Sort command, that takes a list of items and sorts them
according
to specified criteria (alpha, numeric, date, etc)
You should read this page
>http://www.dromasoftware.com/etoile/mediawiki/index.php?
title=Service_Components> on the wiki and add your comments to it.
5. Hidden system structure. Don't show anything that pertains to the
system -- only show the user their own files and devices, unless they
specifically request to see otherwise.
Yes, by default.
6. Inode-based aliases (aliases that always point to the same file,
regardless of where it's moved)
Yes.
7. History of selections -- badge selections so that I can see and work
with (and undo to) the selection I made just before the current
selection.
We will see how it is possible to support such idea.
9. No reliance on a terminal -- the command line should not have to be
utilized for anything relating to the system or its installation or
configuration. Viva Classic Mac!
hehe :-)
