[Thunar-dev] Some UI Ideas

[Biju Chacko]

Hi,

Couple of comments about the latest ui prototype:

* There should not be any buttons for folders below the current one in 
the location bar. IMHO, the current behavior is confusing. It's also 
difficult to parse in a glance your location by checking the pressed 
state of a button.

* When you DnD a file to a folder in the icon view and hold it there 
without releasing the mouse key, what should be the correct behavior?
(a) do nothing
(b) open up a new file manager window showing that folder
(c) navigate to that folder.

a is least confusing, but is also least useful.
b is more consistent with a spatial metaphor
c is more consistent with a browser metaphor

I'd suggest that either b or c should be chosen because I think it 
provides a fairly powerful way to quickly DnD between widely disparate 
parts of the filesystem.
