One of the best hits of the classic Mac Os is the desktop and its spatial metaphor.
Yeah. But the goods of the Mac OS 9 desktop and its spatial metaphor won't help me much on my multiple partition setups. In fact the opposite. Every 9 partition uses a "desktop" and all them get mixed up when you rebuid
any desktop.
If you need to use this means that you don't know how to use the Mac Os efficiency beyond the point and click. IMHO.
I never claimed to know much beyond point and click.
Neither efficiency
Just know "where" are "things" inside the GUI of Protools and Logic.
I don't
need to use a NeXT Directory Browser, but after
some time using Mac OS 9&X and Hackintoshes for Protools (and I do that for paying
some of my bills) I find myself more productive using A-Dock and a directory browser. The 3rd or 4th attempt to open an app I lock them on the dock and close all those 1000 windows. And I can use that "workflow" in 9&X&Win
Mactron I didn't quite understand?
Do you mean that learning these key combinations are not worth it? Or are a bit backward to learn in your opinion? Thanks
No. learning this key combinations is the way to go.
Using this silly file browsers (Greg's Browser, Cola, and a few more that exist) is a real backwards in all senses.
Agree with the need to be aware of all those key combinations.
Disagree on those app to be silly file browsers or its use to be a backward.
Only for a pure OS 9 user (with a deep understanding on what's the desktop) that isn't aware of the rest of the industry directory managing (Mac OS X & Wintel) . I am sure a new generation of Mac OS 9 users will come
after they have tested Mac OS X & Debian on PowerPC machines as their first choice.
Those young ones won't understand how to navigate on the desktop, its advantages or why OS 9 hasn't a native directory browser as XP and OSX has. They have growed using directory browsers.
