![]() I think this should be thought of carefully.īreadcrumbs (more than just the right click menu on the tab icon) are very useful thing. Kunkel321 wrote:I think I prefer the style the just looks like a folder path though. I will offer different visual styles (here is room for hipness!) Just as the current menu-based breadcrumb, it will have a "down"-part (not just "up"). Of course, the whole thing is totally optional and can be switched on/off in a blink. ![]() It will be more clear than ever which pane is the active pane. (Right-click a path component to pop a menu with siblings.) You can browse the file system, clumsily but possible (even if the tree is hidden - some people (will) do that). You can move stuff by drag-and-drop within the current path (even if the tree is hidden - some people (will) do that). Especially of the inactive pane, which right now can be a mystery depending on your tab settings. You can immediatly see the path of each pane (even if the address bar is hidden - some people (will) do that). They are already there IMHO, just a bit disguised. BTW, I can not understand this fuss around breadcrumbs. He, yes, I already can imagine a right click popup so long as not to fit on the screen. So if you think that XY copied its branch view idea from Dopus, you couldn't be more wrong Leo.Įil wrote:plus i'm sure you'll eventually evolve them into something more, as always happened(XY-genes). Get over yourself Dopus!!ītw, see this relevant post from a former user Jacky who has a mockup of "full content view" back in 2006: Seems like it was mentioned here first (note the year, 2000):Īnd for XY itself using branch view, there was always "Show all items in branch" since 2006 which is essentially the same functionality as branch view but with a slightly different design.Īnd for heaven's sake, flat view is just a recurse view, nothing revolutionary. CONVERT DISKTRACKER ARCHIVE MACI've seen it used in context of a tool used in mac which was called Disktracker. ![]() The concept itself has been around since ms-dos days, so nothing new there, instead of the dos box its in a GUI form. "Flat view" term was used much before Dopus, nobody cared to copyright it maybe. Strange set of coincidences if it wasn't an idea and its name being copied. It's odd how a feature similar to one of Opus's three Flat View modes ended up in XYplorer, right down to the trademarked name which no other file manager used at the time and which didn't really make sense when applied to only that mode (more a tree view than a flat view).
