#7837: [Tracker Preferences] Make "Single window navigation" default ------------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: deejam | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Tracker | Version: R1/alpha3 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ------------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by deejam): Replying to [comment:20 pulkomandy]: > Thanks for that interesting read. > It sums it up pretty well ; however I have to disagree on OSX way being the good one :) > > I said I would like it as two separate tools to use side by side, in this article I think I see the same idea : short term storage is spatial, while long-term is hierarchical. In Haiku I noticed I end up using queries a lot, so I don't bother as much about building hierarchies. Queries are another non-spatial tool to work with. The important thing is that we now know (I guess) why our users don't use the spatial mode (too many windows), which is very good! As the creator of this ticket, I thought that the only difference between spatial and browser (in Haiku) was that in spatial folders are ''always'' opened in a new window and in browser mode, they are not. But I guess there are more differences (maybe aldeck can explain?). Anyway, can we come up with some sort of hybrid solution as the default setting, where windows aren't opened for each folder, but still use the foundation of spatial navigation? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7837#comment:21> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
