Sidebar offers an alternative to file managers and application menus. The user's files, media, contacts, tasks and bookmarks are presented in a convenient desktop sidebar. The aim is to focus on the user's data, instead of the installed applications.

Progress update: I moved house recently and lost my net access. Hopefully this situation will be resolved soon, at which point I will upload Sidebar 0.3 Alpha. Most of the features I wanted to add are functional now, except for previews and applet mode, and the software is reaching a useful state.
A stop gap release which fixes the compiling problems reported and adds RPMs. A number of bugs have been fixed and new features added since 0.1. Please note however that sidebar is still PreAlpha and as such isn't ready for day to day use yet. You use it at your own risk. Have fun - and let me know what you think. Features, ideas and bugs gladly accepted.

(via fileselector) + Fix crash if you remove two items in succession + Interface is yucky. Embed popup window in main window. + Find a solution to the scrolling of long filenames/urls (horizontally scrolling embedded window) + Subdivide categories further (eg. Media->images,music,video [done], Documents->word,spreadsheet,figures,database [didn't do this for now...]) + Places renamed to Internet bookmarks or something + Scanning of user directories for file items + Better text/plain handling (now uri's) See the TODO file for latest plans
