Thanks for the response - I know you're really busy right now. <snip> > In general I don't mind a simplification like this.

And a drastically simplified UI *does* look good to me. </snip> I'm glad you like the design. This is great news! :) I'll respond to each of your substantive comments in separate emails. These are all important issues that need discussing. Though I'm sure we'll end up disagreeing on a few areas, let's not forget the areas where we do agree. <snip> > Oh, and a last note, nautilus *does* have saved searches (i saw on irc > that you didn't know this). Just do a search and then "File -> Save > search As...".
