There's nothing wrong with choice in viewing a directory. But I think the preview in Mac OS X is perfect for stuff like that. Because if I want to *work* with the file, I'll open it after seeing the preview... And for a bunch of pictures, Preview.app is perfect, too, I guess...

So, no, I don't want the Finder to add things like that...

Yea, i see what your saying Fryke, but like Preview.app, XP has Windows Picture viewer (or whatever) and does the same thing as preview, but i always thought it was good to cut down the amount of stuff the user had to do. Let the computer do this, show me that etc. Having options doesn't inhibit you. I guess where i am headed with this is, what would kids prefer?! Your mum? (dependant i guess, upon her computer skills) i aplogise for stereotyping there, but you get my meaning!

and i'm assuming neyo hasn't had this long enough to have bastardized it like he does everything else

LOL Ed, i didn't really notice the guy, well i did, but in reality terms, i don't like all this common task crap in MY Face, its my PC, and i know how i organize my files / folders, and so i don't need such prompts all the time. Fair enough from time to time i might turn them on, if i feel it may help me scour the directory for files or whatever, but "usually" i am in Classic Explorer views, so i am free of that dude with the Earphones!! Phew!!

I had a Mishap earlier, with Longhorn (my on fault) which led to a Windows Re-Install... so the pics went down too!

...If anyone i interested in Longhorn, its GUI, Features and more... or to extend upon stuff i had said, this link maybe of some interest...

Sorry for raising this topic, from the dead... but something came to mind, i wanted to bring up.

Okay, well most of you know, i use my PC more than my iBook (its a desktop machine... so well YEA!)

Anyhow, it was about the Window Widgets really, and the "Start Menu" ...The "Apple Menu" ... and how the user navigates to them.

Ok, well, If you maximize a Window, say IE on XP... you can close the window, without having to Look ... you just grab the mouse, and drag it to the top right! SIMPLE!

If you want the Start Menu, you Drag the mouse to the Bottom left ... and Voila, you are there!

now, by contrast, try closing a Maximized Window on X. Or getting into the Apple Menu ... Why is there that Stupid Gap to the left?! you should be able to get to navigate TOP RIGHT and Click... But "Oh No" ... Why is this is?! I love the Aqua interface, but for me, below the look, in this instance, Windows is ahead of the game! Do u see my point?!

I guess, as a result of Apple's User Interface, Mac Users as a rule, have better Mouse Skills!

HAHAH! ... Is that Apple's game, underlyingly, they want more skilled user's on their platform?! SNEAKY!!! LOL

Here's one for you. Why is Windoze still so damn dumb that it can't manage to resize a window so that it's just large enough to hold the contents when you click on the resize button like the Mac OS does?
