Hi. I would also suggest reading the following pages, in order to get familiar with the design direction:
The "Files" design wiki page: https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Files A blog post on the most recent redesign implementation: http://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/2012/08/01/cross-cut/ Also related, this blog post on the (declining?) role of files and the file system as an user interface for content: http://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/2011/06/08/new-pony/ 2013/4/17 Adam Essene <adamess...@icloud.com> > Thanks for the quick response.
