Rhapsody Browser Views


Browser

This is the multiple column browser most closely associated with the NextStep interface. It has a shelf and a path display. Unlike current NextStep, it should display icons in the list, allow dragging from the list, and allow rename in place.
Users may choose to use this browser (or another 3rd party browser) instead of the Finder. Configuration is via the inspector where the user can pick the browsing tool of choice. While the default choice for the file browser is likely to be ěMac-styleî file browsing, a setting will be included to allow system admins to choose a different default file browser.

!Issue! Will 3rd party file browsers be supported in Unified?

Concept: Browse in place
The Finder will have a global preference to ěbrowse in placeî. When enabled, folders replace the contents of the current window instead of opening a new window. The user will turn the option on via a toggling command in the View menu.
