Now, this I like. I really like the Dash/HUD idea for opening and saving files. I see so many features that make Ubuntu look so far ahead of Windows. "Mac OSX is the world's most advanced operating system" - I have something to say to Apple - no it isn't! Thanks! In Christ, Ryan Sent from my i

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

I agree and it is in stark contrast to Dolphin, which KDE are putting a lot of time and effort into. I'm not really sure what can be done with nautilus itself though. I doubt the unity team are likely to come up with a dedicated file manager replacement so it's up to the dash to take the brunt may
