Hi

I'm not sure to well understand your explaination...
I think about an entire filer window showing the tree OR the objects
inside a dir would be simplier.
That way, one could open a tree filer window that could be arranged on th=
e
left by the WM, and it would be simple to middle-click on any dir to open
new "ordinary" filer windows to use drag & drop with them...

Do you understand what I'm trying to explain ?

Or if you want to display the tree in the same window, how 10 items of 6
levels of dirs could be displayed at the same time ? The items displayed
would only be those from the directory selected in the tree ! (I agree
that it would probably be necessary to use panes, to manage differently
the tree & the items parts...
