Rhapsody Finder Views

Finder Views
The Finder views are the equivalent of the folder windows displayed by the current Finder. Instead of building this functionality into the Finder, these viewers are replaceable elements packaged as Rhapsody bundles. Third parties can write new viewers, and either use them in separate processes or integrate them into the Finder itself.
Apple will deliver three distinct viewers for Unified, with more to come as the system evolves.

Icon view
The icon view is the standard view most commonly associated with the Macintosh. It shows icons of documents and folder. As with Mac OS, different icon sizes will be presented: small, standard, and large (the large size is new and will be the 48X48 size of the OpenStep icons).

Button view
The button view is the same as the view that was introduced in Mac OS 8. As with the Mac OS, different button sizes will be presented: small, standard, and large (large again is new).

List view
This view presents the folder structure as a tree, with nested levels being presented using the ìtwisty trianglesî interaction style pioneered by the MacOS Finder. The list can be sorted by any of the columns displayed. However, under Rhapsody, we will add the ability to resize and reorder columns. These settings are on a per folder basis.
In addition to the Finder views, Rhapsody will deliver a fourth separate viewer which will stand alone from the Finder.
