Re: [Tracker] T-S-T UI Review of .7.x versus .6.x

[Jamie McCracken <jamie mccrack googlemail com>]

TST will have all those features by 0.8 release (I hope) - not sure
about option 4 though

the list/icon views are likely to be category specific as follows:

i plan for say music/image category to show a grid with sortable columns
for artist, track name, duration etc

Whilst for documents we will show a list view with snippets

For all others we will just show an icon view as snippets or grids are
not appropriate for them
