- recursive 7y agoI have never heard of that. I mean, I don't doubt it's true, but I think I just want to see the files usually. But then again, I don't know what that means.
- buckminster 7y agoAs a simple example, you can explore into a zip file as if it were a file system folder. This is really useful, but you're obviously no longer dealing with just plain old file system paths.
- ygra 7y agoAlso things like "My Computer", the recycle bin, the network, phones connected via MTP, etc. It's basically something the actual file system is only a part of, and yes, some file system locations are hidden, some are merged, some are redirected, etc.
