(Get the code!)
@J Nice idea.
It would only really work if the panel is available. Without the panel, would we just go back to the way its been done previously? I like the idea of displaying the information in the left panel, it would make make the panel much more useful.
@Cheiron Again a good idea.
But a balance would need to be reached between the size of the target. If its too small, it could be very irritating; if its too large, it could get in the way and lead to clicking by mistake.
@ Everyone
I personally like the information panel idea, as it nicely separates the tasks of editing and browsing folders. Its most definitely the 'gnome way' of doing things. Gnome at its heart is a minimalist DE, and thats what I like; it doesn't try to be too flashy. Those coming from windows may not actually want more of the same. If they are moving away from windows, they want better, and smarter solutions.
These new ideas could lead to a long drawn out debate, and I just hope that we are able to see something concrete in time for Karmic. Is there anything that can be done, which is fast, does not require much work, and would not run the risk of creating more bugs? Can someone, with better knowledge, give us an idea of which of the ideas would be the quickest to implement and which would take the longest and whether any of the ideas could make it for at least Karmic +1? I'd guess that adding F2, next to rename folder, in the right-click menu, would be the quickest? What about the others?
