I use places and tree view sidebar almost equally often. Places: For private/hobby stuff I use usually places. This is indeed a simpler, cleaner way to access important places in a fast manner, as it gives a good overview of your user-specific stuff, like music and videos, downloaded stuff, documents and so on. I don't need "/" access from the places side bar. I would make more use of bookmarks, however they are buggy. Tree view I use for work/university the tree view very often, because I keep a lot of information and data in a hierarchical order. I have to maintain many tex-files, pictures, data sheets, tables and papers. I can't maintain them without a tree view (well, my limited mind can not imagine another way of sorting that amount of information). I also install many Programs to /opt/. To start them I just use the "/" access in the tree view, that's very convenient for me. Adding start buttons is not a good solution, as the the programs in /opt/ change often. The tree view is "boring": It is difficult to navigate between many expanded folders. This makes me tired, however working with a lot of data is probably that kind of work. I use the PC for both, private and work. Switching from tree view to the places sidebar is like leisure time. I grew up with the windows explorer and the hierarchical view on personal data. With F-Spot I realized that hierarchical view is not always the best. But: Until it is possible to administrate the wast amount of data of my work with tags or whatever, I would rather use the old fashioned way. I think Zeitgeist offers a great possibility to make file management better than with a tree view. -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
