In 1984 the Macintosh was released with Mac OS 1 which had two different views for the computers file structure–Icon and List view. Around 20 years later Apples Mac OS X provides, besides the browser alike column view, two different views of the users file structure–Icon and List view.
Isn’t there something more? Aren’t todays users confronted with a lot of more files than in 1984? This article would like to suggest a refinement for the current list view implementation.
