Not really... well, I guess that would actually work to a degree, two Leo instances, if you dragged an @<file> node from one to the other, it would cause creation of the file in the receiving folder. But active_path isn't really a file manager, more a file system browser to make it easier to navigate hierarchies of folders and text files in them, with Leo editing those text files. It doesn't delete or rename files for example, if you navigate to some '@edit lists.txt' file and change it to '@edit listsB.txt', the original remains. A filesystem manager could be written using Leo as an interface, but I kind of wonder if it makes sense, given all the existing tools. Of course it will be needed for LeoOS :-) Qt Tree widgets can display multiple columns of data, Ville was suggesting that be leveraged for tag handling. You'd probably also want that for a file browser, to show file size, date, etc. in additional columns. Makes me wonder what else could be done with a multicolumn tree... selective display/editing of node attributes (in v.u) etc.?
