I don't understand this harsh reaction. Yes, I am the maintainer of natilus, yes I am the primary developer of nautilus for at least the last 5 years. Yes, I am the packager of nautilus in fedora. Yes, I implemented (not invented!) spatial mode in nautilus, for the reason that I think its a good UI model for a file manager, especially one targeted towards non-computer-experts like nautilus. However, I don't think spatial mode is always what you want, so nautilus also has the browser, always availible in the spatial window menus and in the panel menu, if you want to do something where it is more in line with what you want. Its not an afterthought either, we maintain it and add features to it. And, we also have a UI preference to totally turn off spatial mode for those that don't like it. The question is, why are you so persistant about pushing your preferences on everyone. You think I'm a fucking nuthole to have picked spatial as the default, yet you think you should decide what the default should be. Thats as much a decision as what I've done and the people who dislike it will write long tirades about how you're a fucking nuthole, how they are gonna leave/fork gnome/fedora etc. Yes, it is possible to have a discussion of what the defaults should be, but it should be a sane one with less emotions, no namecalling, a realization that someone else (who spent many many years working on the piece of software) may have a valid opinion, and a genuine interest in finding out the reasoning behind the various options. I have been convinced to change my mind by such discussions before, so I'm not just blocking other peoples ideas. Of course, your random rantings and namecallings don't exactly make me interested in having a discussion with you. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
