I just found that in the 'Topaz Brainstorm' Section of www.gnome-look.org

-- http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Stacks+for+nautilus?content=91441 --

From the Mockup made by David Skagersten:

!!!Mashup!!!


This is just something that I would find very usefull, but without codingskills wont be able to do myself. So devs look here.

The concept of stacks in osX:s dock is quite wellknown and will not need further presentation. In gnome we\'ve got drawer-panels and stacks in awn. But what I miss is a stacks-area in nautilus. A place where you can drag files along the day and later mail them, burn them to a cd, package them or play them at a party.

So check the screenshots to get a better understanding of what I\'m meaning. I think it would be doable under gtk. Combined with drag and drop between stacks and other applications, firefox addons and addons to gnome-do this could be quite usable I think.

What I didn\'t create an image of was the view of the stacks\' contents. By pressing a stack the content would be shown in Nautilus main window, where you easily could delete or open files...

But do any of you people fancy this, or is it just my vivid mind that craves this?

// Screenshots, for possible UI, can be found in the Mockup thread

I think that this Idea is very interessting
