I want to use my desktop for file navigation!
- Wallpapered desktops withouth functionality are usless
- I have too many damn file browsers open, they are always hidden behind other windows and even the 2 pane norton commander style apps are not enough.
- Prerequisite fast dektop access a-la mac osx. The windows variant is fucked-up, sont get me started.
- My navigator should run *on* the desktop.
- I do NOT want a tree view. This is clumsy and crazy for large deep structures.
- Everything should dragg & drop. everything should be evenly usefull with only the keyboard and copy / paste shortcuts.
- The rest of the desktop should still be available for temporary file storage. a function to group them easy and fast would be nice.
- Be able to be in different locations at once (tabs) is a must.
- Fast access shortcuts.
- Quickly see where i am and jump back in my file-path.
- Fast & full detail of files (no thumbs).
- Optional pull down (with hierarchy) for more favorites.
Here is a mock-up - and yes it is finder inspired.
