I still don't get it why can't we really care about users. There are things that can be done using vi, command-line or any file manager, but there are a lot of users that won't use such tools as they are too difficult for them.

Whether we like it or now, it s more important to make it is easy for average user than to make in clean and/or really powerful for advanced users. And I find File Finder useful, mostly because Tcl file dialog is so user-unfriendly. Home directory is cluttered with configuration directories (they are not hidden for some reason). You cannot check file date or size (really useful if you have a lot of PGN files, some really big). >It would actually be really a feature I'd like to have in >Scid: drop a file on Scid to get rid of "File/Open..." as >well.
