I love Miller columns for many things, and started down that road once:
<http://fourthworld.net/revnet/devolution/4W_ObjectBrowser.rev.gz>
I used that for all my MetaCard years, and even with LC until the
Project Browser. I guess I'm in the minority who finds the PB fairly
satisfying (though the speed is abysmal with thumbnails on).
Back in my SuperCard days folks used to make object browsers almost as
frequently as HyperCarders made Finder replacements <g>. Some good
ideas came from some of that, but I haven't seen one yet that makes me
truly happy in all respects with features, performance, display clarity,
and space.
With so much commercial work to do it's been hard to justify time for
object browsers once the PB came along and it was at least good enough
for me.
But if folks have time and interest there are many possibilities, and
ideally we'd have a good many to choose from so everyone has exactly
what they want.
