July 2, 2009 at 05:00Ideas for Microsoft
Two opportunities that I miss in Windows and Word.
1. In the work of Microsoft Explorer, I really lack the ability to open several folders as one.
Take, for example, the Music folder: it’s impossible to store 15 gigs of music in one list, so, of course, the contents are sorted into numerous subfolders.
And I really miss the ability to browse the contents of several folders at once. To select 2 or more folders, click on them and their contents, only their contents will open in this or a new window.
Now each folder will open in a new window - and I will have to wander between them, there can be no talk of a simultaneous group operation with them. Very uncomfortable.
2. As for the Word, my biggest complaint to him after the download speed (I often write in Notepad simply because I’m too lazy to wait a few extra seconds for it to load) is a new window for a new document.
Why MS cannot borrow the browser operation principle - a new tab in the program window - is not clear.
Moreover, each window is closed with the same combination of control-F4 as the tab of any browser.
Z.Y. I am writing in my personal blog, because in the future I will supplement this list - and when at least a dozen of these ideas are collected, I will publish them in some of the public blogs. But opinions are accepted now :)
