Re: [PRODIG] Re: file browser views

[Richard Earney]

I don't think it is user choice to whether tabbed windows are used, it 
is more down to interface designers trying to fit vast amounts of 
information into a given space; users probably have no say - they just 
use! There are plenty of interface designers who don't like tabs as a 
method of displaying layered information. Anyone who uses/d Quark will 
know what I mean.

There are many ways to skin a cat and Adobe usually provides a large 
number of ways of doing things and arranging information. Since the 
File Browser is a separate interface then maybe they will develop it 
further and make it endlessly customisable - tabs, pulldown menus the 
lot - then we will all be happy.

Since this is probably veering off topic let me just recommend to 
ProDiggers that they do experiment with the File Browser and set it up 
in different ways - small thumbnails with large previews but no 
metadata - small previews with lots of metadata etc.

See what works for you - save them as workspaces and then maybe add 
some actions to flip between them - it is a really useful way of 
creating slick workflows.

cheers
