Same thing about Tracker; I *strongly* dislike that a window can be opened in two different workspaces at once, as well as the "New Folder" not being the top-most item in the context menu. (and let's not get started on the nav bar and single window browsing...)

I don't like it either, but that's apparently what many people want. But since it's completely optional, I don't see the point in moaning about it either.

Window one workspace:
I don't know if I had this in BeOS or somewhere else, but it was like that: I opened a folder in one workspace to drag-n-drop some files, then switched to another workspace and opened the same folder. What happened was that instead of opening the folder in the current workspace the app switched to the original workspace. This was very annoying because I wanted to use the folder in the *other* workspace. IMHO, it is a good compromise to move the opened window from the old workspace to the new workspace.

Single window browsing:
I love it. I almost *never* want to keep the old window opened and I don't like cleaning up all opened windows (yes, there are shortcuts, but who knows them?). Use the context menu if you want to open a new window.

Navbar:
I think that the only purpose of a navbar is to have a "Delete" and "Parent Folder" button. I've *never* seen someone click any of the other buttons (the "Back" button is often understood as the "Up" button). So, what about integrating only those two buttons somewhere into the menu or some other place of the window. Actually, the "Parent Folder" button is already implemented, but I don't really like the way it's done. What about showing breadcrumbs? Hm...

Bye,
Waldemar
