[Thunar-dev] [Usability] Proposed simplifications

[Raphael Bosshard]

What:
a) remove the tree view from the sidebar, display it as a thunar-view 
(instead of the iconview or listview).
b) remove the option to see the location-bar as text.


Why:
a) The bookmarks-pane and the tree-pane perform two very distinct tasks; 
the first provides a shortcut through the filesystem, the other 
navigates trough the filesystem. With both being in the sidepane, they 
exclude each other, which should not be the case. Moving the tree to the 
filesview-pane (where we already have the location bar, also a 
navigational component) solves that problem. The tree and the location 
bar can exclude each other; they are both navigational components.

b) Wouldn't a Location-Dialog (think GtkFileSelector) suffice?


Yeah, I know, I promised changes to the UI demo. But since thunar is 
going into developement, that doesn't matter anymore.
