I hope they keep thinking this way and don’t bend to the wills of the geek masses. ![]() Nautilus’s developers get big points in my book for considering other ways of doing things, especially for new users. I’m the kind of user that puts things in my windows and on my desktop in certain places depending on what they are or what they are for. I am VERY visually oriented and I like spacial organization. Plus, the context-menu navigation in BeOS solves the “too-many-windows” problem that the advanced users hate. Mac OS has the same window trade feature: hold down the option key while opening windows. Pay attention to Eugenia’s note above: the hot-key to make the old window vanish when the new one opens is very helpful if you aren’t comfortable with the default behavior but also don’t like the browser style (which I don’t like in OpenTracker so I don’t use it). I prefer most of classic Mac OS’s design over OS X (with some exceptions). I agree with the comments from NA above that Apple is totally abandoning all the good design concepts they had. I think that spacial design is extremely important for non-techie users (and even some of us techies who are sick of having to be techies in order to use computers as tools). ![]() Now I miss it on Windows (because on Windows it never works as it should work when you use it and because there are too damn many things all over the UI in XP – and I have as much disabled and hidden as possible!). You know what happened? I grew to like it. This is new functionality being added as an option, not replacing what you all are content with!Īs a long-time Windows user, I too felt annoyed at the Mac/BeOS method of object oriented window management when I first started using them.
