I was saying the he look promising because .Marlin really look promising and development is active. ... in fact, they made the best one in the Gnome World - the name was Nautilus Elementary ...on the same time also, the world craziness started to get some speed - so my joy was very short, Gnome 2 was out of line. The progress come to look like a big regression when Gnome 3 and Unity arrived under the sun. Easy things started to be complicated, we loose 'Nautilus Elementary' and elevated simplicity, Instead, we got big icons just in case - maybe we will confuse the computer screen with the phone. Of course the best idea is to build a new file manager - but who will build the new shinny one ? And why we can't cooperate all to help Marlin to go where we want ? - I observed for few years now that to ask for a new toy is very common in Open Source world - but how to cooperate, like in all good times ? .. I feel that we can solve our big things in a very collaborative way - let's make a list of wishes (because we are all a man of his wish [ I do not say witch.. ;) take care]). Then let's have a meeting with Marlin developers - show'em the list and let's help them fixing things and polish / uzability-ish / full-feature-ish our baby. Instead of splitting energies we will get at least a powerful community. This way will go much normal and easier - I suspect that Marlin guys have everything on place, less time and a sharp clear feedback from Userland (I mean feedback focused on problems not just in '...Wow - your File Manager is Awesome Bingo '). 2012/7/18 Benjamin Bach <benjaom...@gmail.com>: > On 12 July 2012 19:45, SorinN <nemes.so...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> please explain mr.
