A modern file manager looks like this and features such advanced things as inherently showing two locations at once. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Quote:- Windows Explorer on Windows 7 - Apple's Finder - Nautilus on Linux None of those are modern. They all harken back to DOSShell and the like in the mid-'80s with very little improvement done since then. The ones I listed have gone beyond that and work with a GÇ£object-action-targetGÇ¥ paradigm on top of being able to show the (outdated) tree view abstraction (ok, abstraction is the wrong word since it doesn't actually abstract away anything GÇö it's just a na+»ve representation of the file categorisation based on a single variable). Granted, Norton Commander was also invented in the '80s as a (vast) improvement over things like DOSShell, but unlike the explorers you listed, it has been further improved since that early start.
Quote:What we had before were floating 'buckets' of stuff. Now we can see whats what and more importantly, which what we're looking at. What we had before were containers that could be combined into contextually sensible collections in accordance with your needs and the space required to make them useful. They showed perfectly well what was what and which GÇ£whatGÇ¥ you were looking at. This is actually less true now since the separation between inventories no longer exist. You can emulate it, but it requires far more work to set up and maintain since it's a work-around.
