Morning all,
I've just been thinking about Windicators and how they could be
useful. I vaguely remember someone posting an idea (before the
Windicator announcement) of being able to send files and data between
applications. I think Windicators could allow us to do this in a very
consistent way...

You minimise them too. They are specifically status associated with that
window - so you won't miss them.

Yep, perfectly. I should've really given it more thought before
lumping the idea in with Windicators - it definitely would belong in
the File menu. It's just the kind of thing that would require a
consistent API so that applications would adopt it and Windicators
would have

Hey Mark,
Can we do that
Switching the behavior in Nautilus to single click causes inconsistency with
the Open File dialog of any application. The Open File dialog of Firefox,
OO.org, etc still uses the traditional double click.
Only incidentally. The primary way of opening a file in the open dialog, and
the way I see mothers, fathers, and the basically uninformed using it, is by
selecting then pushing the open button, not double clicking. I've actually
had people freak out by how quick I get through that navigation,
Ok. Thanks for the response. I'm assuming this means that instructions will
be issued for patching all currently tabbed apps to use ctrl-tab?
