In any case, I would love to have a decent explanaition on why anyone would
want to use single window browsing. I mean, I do understand it's useful for
actual "browsing". Only that browsing using the context menus in Haiku is
so much more powerful and so much quicker than anything else.
I'm partly with you. :)
Haiku's use of attributes pretty much mandates that every folder remembers which
attributes to show and sort by. Single window browsing isn't very useful for that, even if
the attribute-layout would change, the window-size doesn't.
Context menu browsing has the same drawback of not showing attributes. Granted, most of
the time it's not needed. You just need to get to a location quickly and go from there.
I could imagine that changing single window browsing to open a double clicked folder and
automatically close the parent would be enough to give someone the familiar browsing
feeling. Sure, the windows would pop up in different locations, but I don't consider this
unacceptable.
