those files may be associated with something else (most computer
people with experience that I know of organize by project or

around directories of projects)? .......snip...snip...snip
And ... that's it, in a nutshell. A GUI system is all about managing
windows -- I want to be able to put up a bunch of windows, and have
one thing per window. Not have to manage multiple things in a window
because the window manager stinks at working with groups of windows.
Hence for example the need for a "spatial Finder" concept (as I tried
to point out recently in another thread):
As long as there's a need of printed outputs and a hierarchical filing
system in real working environments, digital directories should
reflect this filing, and if only it's for easy syncing of real and
digital work.
That is (or: was??) the ultimate Mac idea: DESKTOP
