I updated my Fedora and Cobind Boxes with the Fedora Core 2 repositories. What the heck happened? And Naulilus looks 'spatial' now, as it is called. There are no back/up/reload buttons anymore; it's just icons and folders and apps. Weird, especially coming from the well refined nautilus of Gnome 2.5 series. All that work gone ... almost. The Velocity Filemamager, on the other hand, looks like the Atlantis web browser. It has the sidebar and toolbar of atlantis and comes with easy to see icons. I must admit that the windows 95 style opening new windows for every folder thing is kinda ... wierd. I have read some articles on the thinking behind this, but all the technology and the work that went into the old nautilus's user friendliness. It's a shame. I wonder if I could make a version of the CLAW that is 'spatial'? It would be cool to try. I'd probably start from scratch, though. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
