I find that it is also is very heavily related to how the brains of the people who are using it work. > Let's FINALLY kill file hierarchies! Let's free ourselves! Revolution! Nope. The way my mind works, I love them. For example, I hate all those photo or audio programs that slurp everything into a DB and they're not individually broken out on disk. Drives me nuts. I like ones which build a database of what you have on disk, and tag them for easy searching, but that is added on top of the file hierarchy. As for the rest of what you posted, I have no issue having those be additional features, as long as there is still a "file hierarchy" option or association there too (which you did indeed propose, despite your "let's kill it" battle cry, above). -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- In the academic world, you think now and decide never; and in the government, it’s just exactly the other way around. -- Warren Nutter PGP Key: http://www.mattcaron.net/pgp_key.txt ~~ Matt Caron ~~ _______________________________________________ User mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/user
