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?
