3D Finder!

I thought you guys might like to look at this (kilo and gplex know that I was raving about it).

It's a 3D Finder. Very nicely built. There are some annoying aspects about it (gets slow as you open more platters, you can come out of the swimming pool, which makes the program behave weirdly, and you can't drag things from platter to platter), but overall it's very well done, and you can even add labels again!

This is definitely something to check out.

Didn't Apple have some sorta' short-lived side project called Project X or something that started experimenting with a 3D Finder meta content environments back in 7.x?

I remember that! That was very cool, but useless

I never played with that project.

I used this program over the weekend.
It is ok, more of a game, its less productive but looks a little nicer in a futuristic way

I used to play with something similar on X windows about 10 years ago. There were various themes, including a haunted house, a space shoot'em up, etc. Completely unusable unfortunately. It was actually 4D, because the objects used to move around. In order to launch an application with the shoot-em-up theme it was necessary to chase the file around and blast it. I wasn't very good so it used to take me about 10 minutes to launch any application, and then it was usually the wrong one. The haunted house executables used to creep up and scare you - quite funny. I wouldn't have wanted to get a virus though

Can't remember the name of it unfortunately - I only played with it for a couple of days whilst I had a large computation crunching on my machine (Used to take a couple of weeks).
