[Usability] FLAT view in Nautilus....]

[Jason Brower <encompass gmail com>]

You would not be able to copy to and within that virtual folder.  It
would be a place, like the cb burning folder that would use temporarily
to see and work with the files.
Good question though, and worth discussing.  It may be nice when the
copying is done to request to delete the now empty folders, if any, and
do so.  But that may not be gnomish enough.  I don't like dialogs like
that my self.

But what happens if you copy paste or create somthing in this virtual
folder ? Also what happens if you have identical files in the folders
you are trying to merge ?

        where I
        want.  It is very handing when working with many pictures, or
        songs,
        that you want to reorganize and get sorted out. I could just
        open them 
        all as one folder and then drag the selected ones I want from
        there to
        the new folder I want to have them in.
        
        This would bring up one issue that should be resolved with
        it.  I would
        like to see empty directories before I have to click on
        them.  And if 
        they directory has nothing but hidden files in it.  So the
        ordinary user
        see's nothing.  It may be nice to have the files viewed, but
        dimmed.
        Just to show that "yes... there are files left in the
        directory". 
        What do you think eh?
