URIs? I don't see the difference there. The triangles you use as seperators have no connection to the traditional / or to path-buttons. They remind me of expanders, though. Displaying path elements like links might seem like a good idea for consistency with web browsers. It's sure easy on the eyes (shuld be made sure the lines don't go through the descenders, though). But imagine a web adress in firefox shown like that, with clickable links: it would work only on some websites and not at all on others. So showing local, filesystem adresses in a very different way might be a good thing. Much of the point of my proposal is treating the buttons like characters, to make backspace work in a logical way and to make input turning into new path elemts less of a surprise. I didn't manage to find your proposal in the archives. --- Thorsten Wilms _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
