Could you describe what desktop features were really cool? I do suspect there's an open-source reimplementation somewhere out there, so if you can name them I would look for it.
Well, a big one was the extended attributes I mentioned, that could contain 64 KB of metadata about a file. You could use the WPS to see all sorts of details about the file, search on them and so much more. The EAs also enabled :"shadows" of objects, instead of copies that you get with other desktops. This means you could make a change in one instance of an object and it would immediately be reflected in every other instance. Files "knew" what app created them. There were lots and lots of other things that I've long since forgotten. There has simply been no other desktop that's anywhere near as capable as the WPS. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
