Hi !

But what are these usability studies based on ? If the purpose is to 
make Nautilus easy and intuitive for newbies, then souldn't the question 
be asked to newbies ? Problem is, newbies often come from Windows... Are 
people making complicated usability studies for several months really 
able to foresee what a newbie (in a few seconds) will find easy to use, 
and easy to understand ?

As to feed the troll, I have never touched Windows more than 15 minutes, 
and I still really can't understand why spatial mode is convenient (at 
first I thought it was the name for a great new exploring way -- really 
disappointed when I saw what it was).

Cheers,
Manu
