Yet they still have a hierarchical filesystem . A smartphone deals with a very limited range of files , which makes it possible to : save photos in a predetermined directory , save videos in a predetermined directory , play music from a predetermined directory , and store the ebooks in a predetermined directory , and so on . I don't see such a scheme working on a general-purpose computer. -- Adrian -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
