This looks interesting indeed! There is probably little harm in allowing users to have as many sidebar views open at once as they want, this seems nice. As long as there is some easy button to split off into a new view, and then close any current one (perhaps except the last remaining one?).
I also agree that the OSX tree type view would be neat. - Mike On Sun, Jun 1, 2008 at 7:22 PM, Calum Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 1 Jun 2008, at 19:52, Daren Robbins wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> I've been working on a split-sidebar change to nautilus (2.22.2 from >> the ubuntu repos) as a bit of a "get familiar with GNOME/GTK+" >> project, since I have a windows background.
