This is basically what the other iconic interfaces provide (Mac, for example), although they don't allow multicolumn file windows (ls -C format), preferring a single column with everything (ls -l format). I'm thinking of adding a switch to Browser to allow you to get both of these formats on a window-by-window basis. I'd love to see Browser integrated into the Workbench, of course. One thing I'd like to see in Workbench is a way to window-ise the backdrop, perhaps with a menu selection, so I don't have to keep resizing my CLI to get to it. Alternatively, implementing a Mac/GEM/Windows "drag window past the edge of the desktop" capability in Intuition would solve the problem (and half a dozen others). It can't be that hard to do... it's effectively equivalent to dragging a window behind another one. > (I don't know who to credit for the current workbench but we all know who to > credit for browser!)
