I beg to differ, since apprently in some cases you do need to say so - or this discussion wouldn't be here. I think that special folders in general might benefit more from looking different (this is a special location) than from looking like everything else (there is nothing special here), as clearly they are different and will not always behave as other folders. I would personally like them to be folder-like, so it can be expected that they follow the same metaphores, such as drag/drop, copy/paste and so on, but not pretend to be something they are not. A remote folder, trash and burner all have their own little kinks and I'd like to be aware of those. > And in the default spatial view, there's no location > bar anyway. > On 4/14/06, Reinout van Schouwen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > P.S.

I actually, honestly gave it all the try I think anything deserves by using it exclusively on all my three computers for about 6 months (half Hoary + half Breezy). Why? Because I've come to the conclusion that defaults are often chosen for a reason and deserve a fair try, it may often turn out to be a good reason once understood. ;). But in the end I switched back. I cannot work that way, way too inefficient for someone who uses the computer to get almost all work done - IMO. Now productivity is back, and the day non-spatial disappears, so do I. It might be easy to grasp for the non-abstract mind or whatever the reason, but it's absolutely horrible to work fast with. I feel shackled. Sorry. (Oh, and not trying to spark that discussion again, just strongly pointing out that that's as much a non-fix for me as it would to tell me to use Windows or a Mac). If there is any way that the drop target could be made a non-issue without going spatial, that's the best for all of course. -- Kristoffer Lundén ✉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ✉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gamemaker.nu/ ☎ 0704 48 98 77
