It would require unnecessary mouse movements. > i wouldn't worry too much about mouse movement. when the objects are large enough to aim at successfully with a "careless" mouse gesture, mouse travel distance wouldn't be so much of an issue anymore. On a touch-interface this would be the least of our problems. On a desktop it's not a problem either, since a desktop usually has a proper mouse, which can travel the entire screen quickly. On a home entertainment system with a large full HD TV as monitor, it would be an advantage to use a lot of display space and have large icons/previews, since one usually sits a few meters away from such a monitor, and small icons would be too little to either aim at or to identify visually in the first place. so i don't reallly think mouse travel is an issue here..
