Re: [Nautilus-list] Tree View

[ty <tyronea_2000 yahoo com>]

thanks for you input will.  here are my thoughts.

1. the tree view is be definition a navigation gui
component.  including files in the tree view doesn't
make any sense.  if it did, user testing would have
told use so years ago.  and by your thoughts gui
designers would have put tree views on both sides of
the splitter :)
2. there is no or little value add to including files
in the tree view other than cluttering the view.
3. we shouldn't confuse users the functionality of an
already established component.
