That might be a good idea, I'm ashamed I didn't even think of it (that is kind of informative on how useless the information sidebar is currently :). There is one gigantic problem though: people using the spatial nautilus. There is no toolbar, no sidebar, and nobody hears your screams there :) (I think single-click-spatial-nautilus is the best thing since sliced bread by the way, but maybe I'm just crazy) > While the mock up looks nice and all, that is most defintely not how > compositing works.

While I had that idea a while back (±2 years ago), I indeed saw Leopard machines recently and stumbled upon the QuickLook feature, and was impressed by how nicely it worked. It felt natural. And then I thought "damn those cupertino's with their mind readers!"
