Cool. Will be playing with - and reporting my findings - KDE soon. Maybe even today. Spring Loaded folders? OS X has both. Harder to find things - it *does* make a difference. You...

it's a view attribute of the window. Not only changes the size of the icon, but also the details level of the info. If you want to change the icon of just one, then you change it to a custom icon.
any image of any format supported (which includes gif, png, jpg, xpm and others)
If it matters, they can change it, if it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter :)
depends on how the patent is worded really.
Still does not explain why the resize feature is available on the desktop but not elsewhere. Seems it works well then - perhaps not quite...
I simply disagree that it's "poor UI" The important info is the filename, EOG is a basic part of the GNOME desktop, it's obvious what it's function is, and if you need the info, then it's there in the about text.
Could be, I don't get it here, and I have fairly (by today's standards) light HW, 1GHz PIII, with 512MB of RAM.
I think that while consistancy is a virtue, in most cases, it's a minor issue at best, as long as there aren't big gotchas, like colors that mean opposite things, or backwards ok-cancel concepts. People aren't insects, we aren't programmed genetically for this. We learn, and adapt. Since you aren't talking about students who are retarded (I buttume) and since they can presumably come to terms with the differences between OSX and OS9 or XP-W2K (all 4 of which, are different in these ways) I don't see a big problem.
Can you give an example, I am not seeing the utility here. You mean like open with, or run or something? If you are suggesting that you should click on the icon, and then click on the action (or vice versa) I'd say that's silly, and a reflection of the one button heresy. :) But maybe I am not understanding what you mean here.
On Mon, 07 Mar 2005 12:59:47 -0700, Snit Spring Loaded folders? Doubtful. The folder highlights, and the window changes to show the...
Ah, no, that's not present, (that I know of) Sounds useful though.
Ah, fam is your friend. File alteration monitor, can trigger anything on a change in a file or directory. But the tools to utilize it are somewhat primitive at the moment. You'd have to be comfortable at least with script languages to utilize it at the moment, but that will change.
improvements are good :)
pretty much my opinion too. Although that could change, I have found things like that more useful after I used them for a while, than I would have expected.
That's it, usefulness varies with the apps integration with GNOME, Epiphany can remember the sites you were visiting, and open them automatically with this (it also has sessions just for the websites,but that's a different issue. ) Firefox can't, at least yet.
Possibly. An example, I can filter on my mailboxes-accounts, and when the filter hits on a msg that triggers it, that message is placed into the relevent vfolder, or rather, a linked copy, is. It's still in the original mailbox also.
