In these days there has been much fuzzing about the new browsing with files organizing themselves with the help of meta data. Maybe you ask yourself "What have this to do with the spatial browsing in gnome and how can it improve the browsing?". That's what I did. As I see it, the gnome people have introduced the spatial browsing so we are used to it when this new browsing is coming to town. This is very intelligent move of the gnome people and will help us adopt faster to this. This is when the spatial browsing is really making sense. I hope you see this when you've read this article.

Let me see if I remember some things
Metadata...
Extended Attibutes as part of the filesystem...
Pseudo directories as the results of a databaselike query...
Why does this all sound so familiar?
Oh yes, because I was a BeOS users for years.
Seriously, I would love to see this sort of thing in Linux, including the kernel level support needed for thigns like extended attributes and all the fun things you can do with them. It has always been one of the biggest things that I have missed since I stopped using Be.
