Hi Thorsten, Hi understand. This proposal could be problematic right now. But don't discard this concept for the future. It could be useful. For now, I also agree with the superiority of hierarchical menus (HM's). But I see a huge potential for HUD (or its successor). That was the basis of the

more than replacing nautilus I would add the right menu function to the dash, accessible both via mouse and shortcut. This could maker the dash really powerful adding features as open with, navigation, file properties, and so on! Supernova Il giorno domenica 6 maggio 2012, Jo-Erlend Schinstad < jo

Well, it would still be there underneath. But it needn't be exposed to the end user. At least not by default. You could always install a traditional file browser, but it shouldn't be necessary to use the traditional file system. On May 6, 2012 9:51 AM, "Jo-Erlend Schinstad" wrote: > Den 06. mai 2

Obviously it would need development. A "tagfs" would probably need to put tagged files into folders based on the tags, for compatibility. But I think this is the best way forward. On May 6, 2012 9:42 AM, "shane lee" wrote: > A tag based system would cause problems for someone who no longer wants

A tag based system would cause problems for someone who no longer wants to use ubuntu or shares files between other operating systems or with other people. They would then be left with a disorganised mess. I had similar problems, albeit on a smaller scale, when I used shotwell a long time ago. By

In my opinion, what Ubuntu really needs I not to replace Nautilus, but to replace the file system it browses. Obviously, it will still be there for system purposes, but it should not be exposed to the end user by default. The concept of the file system is just no longer relevant to modern computin
