I’m sure many people are familiar with the applications Yep and Leap. An interesting feature of those applications is the ability to view all the contents of a folder, including the contents of its sub-folders. For me, that ability leverages all the advantages of a highly organized folder structure—being able to drill down to a sub-sub-…sub-folder and see only its contents—while skirting its disadvantage—the inability to see inside a subfolder while also having a bird’s eye view.
The reason I ask, as you’ve probably guessed by now, is that I feel that DT could benefit from such a view. I’d be interested in others’ views on this. More generally, what views do experienced DT users usually use? Do you usually stick with one view, or regularly switch between them. For the record, I’m usually in the three-pane view, though recently I’ve been experimenting more with the Column view.
