I was serious when I said the design teams should work together. "I think something as intrusive as popups are only acceptable for urgent things like disk running out of space." So your telling me that when an indicator that you have a message shows up in the top right of the screen this presents

It certainly is an idea worth exploring further, Windows Explorer has certainly displayed metadata for years so it's by no means a new or unique concept. Often the actual file name is unrelated to the metadata (track1.mp3 etc..) and so it would be very useful in those situations to be able to view

I think Vincent Moulin hit the nail in the head with his idea of windows not maximized having their menus inside of them instead of the top. I've found myself feeling a bit confused as to what app did the global menu belong to, when working with multiple, unmaximized windows, something I alway
