It is funny that they love the spatial finder so much. Remember when Gnome did this with Nautilus? It was not a popular decision at the time.
Although it obviously did have a few very vocal proponents.
- digi_owl 10y agoI seem to recall that Windows File Explorer could do spacial as well. The concept only really work when you have a folder depth of 2-3 nested folders tops. After that you start getting so many windows on the screen it becomes like a dropped deck of cards.
- jsight 10y agoIt might have had that, although I seem to remember it not remembering window placement correctly. That was a long time ago, though, so I could have the details wrong.
- WorldMaker 10y agoSo far as I recall Windows 3 was the only one that actually tried to be spatial. Windows 1 and 2 were essentially tiling window managers on the opposite side of the spectrum, and Windows 95's Explorer intentionally was not spatial. There was the brief period 98 to ME that Explorer was sometimes spatial, but that seemed more an accident of Explorer's "Active" phase than intentional.
