La preistoria che non si è estinta: i FileManager

One night I woke my wife to tell her that the conception of File Manager is a mistake that makes us still live in the midst of the dinosaurs and that night I found myself to sleep out in the cold, probably in the company of dinosaurs not extinct. possible that a misconception is keeping alive the prosperous culture of the "club" as a technological tool most used in the twenty-first century? And my wife does not understand the gravity of this revelation at night?

I still remember the words of my professor: "The HardDisk is like a wardrobe, if you put so much stuff you have to learn to be ordered" ... otherwise you will not find anything: it was a tacit warning that the final I felt back in the '90s (and the harddisk was 40 Mb.)

Case History 1: When the memory betrays

I took the computer in hand after a week of illness, because I had to send a slide to a customer that I had made that last day in office with his head stuck in the loop of influence. Well, I did not remember the name of the file, and especially in which the umpteenth directory / subdirectory that build digital city I had saved my HardDisk.
Nothing serious, just rely on the invaluable research tool
Find File ...
your File Manager.
Not knowing where to look and even the name and file extension (I do not remember if I had saved in pdf, ppt and odp), I did a search simple and focused:
search all files modified between 23 to 25 October 2010

only associated directory
Home
comprensivo delle sottodirectory

e l'autore sono IO (informazione aggiunta per mero scrupolo)

Sotto l'effetto dell'influenza, in quei tre giorni lavorativi avrò al massimo manipolato una trentina di file, pertanto i parametri di ricerca mi sembravano più che adeguati per trovare velocemente il file in questione. Invece no! Lo stolto FileManager mi risponde con un incredibile e disumano elenco di
69'844
file trovati!!!!

Perché? Perché è stupido, il File Manager ha processato la richiesta in modo elementare, matematico, fisico ma non “umano”. Nella sua ricerca ha considerato anche tutti i file modificati/creati in my name from the system through various programs and services (eg temporary files, backups, cookies, settings ...); as a dear friend would say such
• Foffi which ignore the existence
!
• Case History 2: ephemeral certainties
E 'Friday night, completed a presentation on the morning following my colleague the emailing and run home.
• sweaty Saturday morning I received a phone call that resonates with the words "the attached file is corrupt!"
Strange, control the attachment of the email and resubmission. Soon, a new phone even more wet gutter with these words "The attached file is corrupted !!!".

Encapsulates the file in an archive 7zip and resubmission. Shortly after the same call: "The attached file is corrupt!". I support him and the file on the server I download it via FTP, and here is his worried voice: "The attached file is corrupted !!!".
Something eludes us, and I inquire about his only words: "The attached file is corrupted !!!". She then discovers that his FileManager (I mention no names) does not recognize the file type, therefore, finds himself unable to perform the correct application to open it. In fact, in the name of the file was missing (for my careless omission) extension: the old, hoary and labile how to identify the file through i nomi.
Dovete sapere che i FileManager più seri riconosco il tipo di file semplicemente analizzando la prima riga contenuta in esso, ma.... quante brutte abitudine sono dure a morire e pesano sull'utente ignaro!

Case History 3: nomi a fantasia sequenziale
Trovo un piccolo ritaglio di tempo per manipolare le foto del compleanno di mio figlio. Salvo la prima e il programma mi chiede il nome del file. Digito “Compleanno di Mario”. Salvo la seconda è mi chiede il nome, il soggetto è sempre il medesimo ergo gli attribuisco lo stesso nome “Compleanno di Mario”, ed ecco impuntito il geniale File Manager mi avvisa solerte di un conflitto con un altro file che ha nome uguale.

Unfortunately you can not communicate with the File Manager, otherwise I would have tried to explain that this is an image with the same subject, and if he is confused because I do not worry I'll tell by the preview of ' image. But no, I bent to the imagination of sequential name (pippo1, pippo2, pippo3 ...) I strongly suggested that the File Manager as

evolved.



File Manager: the ancient wardrobe If you ask what is the application you use more could you really answer? Text editors, graphics programs, web browser, email client .... no! is certainly the unnamed
File
Manager (Explorer, Finder, Dolphin, Nautilus ... to name the most famous).
It should be a software specially designed to mediate the tasks of the filesystem (the one that handles any data onto the hard disk) with your needs in order to facilitate the common file operations.

I want to show a gallery of screenshots of some of the most popular and current File Manager:

change names, Operating Systems, the computer, but I would say that there is little imagination, seem all products from the same concept of "interface for file management." Now I'll take a step back in time, here is the default File Manager in the first visual environment of Microsoft Windows 1.01:

is 25 years, yet, as you might guess from the pictures, the 'evolution of this basic software, the File System, is reduced to mere emotions such as color graphics, icons, transparency ... to the folk management in 3D like this:

File Manager: da armadio a ..comò? Finally, perhaps, its interface will finally dress the role of mediator between the user and the file system. I know ... forgetting the archaic navigation for directories, separately in the first real user files from all the others, showing recently used files, a classification by activity (where the same file may appear in more activities without those hated / misunderstood "links"), a chronological classification by file type, and a nice text box to compose simple and functional questions ...

short, something like (grab the provocation):

Software, ideas and prototypes there are so many .. but lacks the program that puts together all this stuff to review and re-establish the concept and using the File Manager.
