Hello Timothy,
The Gloobus apps extend the file manager's features by adding quick and
attractive ways of browsing and opening files. They are better than nautilus
without them because they save valuable time of people and computer
resources.
This is great for people who use the file manager to o
Hi Allan C.
I'd love to hear more of your thoughts about these projects you've been
linking to. I think you've given a good overview of how they work, but I'd
be interested in hearing a more critical evaluation of them.

Hi All,
You might want to check out Gloobus http://gloobus.net/ . It consists of 3
projects that let people browse through and open files on Nautilus. It does
the job quickly, efficiently, and in a presentable way. It also feels very
integrated to the file manager. This is one of the ways that can

Check out Windows Phone 7's concept of hubs

Hi All!
Thanks for the ideas. To be clear to everyone, I never proposed the removal
of access to files through a file manager. You're right. On the desktop,
there's a number of reasons why the file manager should be available.
Actually, I believe that the file manager should also be visible on the

Well, thinking about new ways of user interaction is good - but don't
forget the 'power-users'. I don't want my system to tell me what to do
rather I want my system to do what I want. An
