Comment (by Be.AP):
Maybe feature was the wrong word. But Get Info is just fine. I get info,
then I set info. The permissions and default app is part of the info you
would get. A good compromise would be to leave it the way it is, because
as they say, if it ain't broke. And muscle memory is important. Eyeball
memory too. I have such difficulty now in post Monterey OS X. System
Settings now escapes me. People with Windows 11 they keep redirecting my
printer control panel and changing context menus.
Haiku has been pretty great at moving forward, but should avoid losing
what it has. And Haiku does best I feel where the other operating systems
fail. That would be it's lack of spitting on its users, which Apple and
Microsoft have been brutal with lately.
But I won't dwell on that here. A ticket system seems like the wrong
place. But when this is re-visited, I hope everyone making decisions (not
me) will see the value in keeping the basics of using Haiku the way they
are for plenty reasons. We use the alt-key as the modifier, we have BFS,
etc.
