It would be nice to have a file manager that would display a visual summary of the actions defined by a command-line and let you edit your command line before running it. When I worked in a place that made Windows the "enterprise standard", and when teaching workshops using student labs where the data files were on a Windows server, users cutting and pasting files, thus removing them from the server was a constant problem. Some Windows sites seem to block or remove read-only permissions in shares, so I never found a way to prevent this. On linux, using sudo, commands are saved to a log so you can review what you did when things didn't go as expected. -- George N. White III
