It's not that filesystems are too difficult and must be hidden, the thing is that they are a god damn awful way to organize your data. They are not difficult, they are primitive, and we should provide something better. Given the user _only_ a filemanager is a failure, but I would agree that the things we try to give the user instead are still a bit raw, and not ready yet to make filemanagers redundant for everyone. IMO, people don't care so much about folder hierarchy when they have good search and tagging. But they do care about physical location of data, e.g., whether the music file is on the memory card, in the internal phone storage, or on the home server. I have the feeling that we can replace the 'hierachical folder navigation' part of filemanagers quite well, but the 'copy stuff from the home server to my phone' part isn't covered well enough yet. _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
