The KDE team should have look at the OS/2 WPS for ideas. It was doing some incredible things 17 years ago, that I have not seen elsewhere.
Please, tell me what ideas in OS/2 you would like to see in KDE. I do not have access to such a system, but if you have specific ideas that you would like to see implemented that is entirely possible.
Though it was more of an HPFS thingy, I *LOVED* the extended attributes on files on the hard drives.
The Presentation Manager (and whatever it was called in Warp) did a superb job of allowing one to organize files.
The desktop in OS/2 & later, was called the "Workplace Shell". It was the first place I ever saw an FTP folder, where you could create a folder of an FTP site. There were also folders that you could use as a work place and when you closed it, all the documents would close. When you opened that folder later, your documents would reopen, so you could continue working where you left off. Also, while the EAs were indeed part of the HPFS file system, it was the desktop that made much use of them. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
