The windows Xp file browser has almost the same features, and i know people hate windows, but his feature is good, no mather on wich operating system.
I hope that this mockup will become reality,aso that we can download it.

How about something that is nice looking, simple, helpful, and minimalistic. Something that doesn't waste big slabs of space on my screen giving me information that I don't always wan't anyway.
Innovation is the key to KDE's future.

I was thinking... may a slight difference in the color tint of each window's statusbar help to identify windows even without checking it's content ?

This is just my opinion. My favorite file manager "style" is still the classic box with icons and nothing else.

Second and third shots seens so clutered, with much options that turns the filemanager use confused.

The second and the third are the usual Vista's ripoffs and I don't think they have place in KDE4, which goal is to be innovative.
(if people started to show this kind of mockups say...1 year ago, probably I would have said they were good, but since they started to appear as soon as Vista's screenshots were out, they don't deserve too much attention, IMO)

Surely side tabs have to go away. A more vertical layout, yet not innovative, still be the most natural (and better for 4:3 screens).
About innovations and Vista clones... well, tree sidebars are even less innovation, but they're good to use, then still there. I'd really prefer a Vista-like upper and lower bars than a sub-icons system.
When I moved from gnome to kde, my wife got scared simply by the meny "copy here, move here, ..." she got prompted when dragged a file to a folder. And she's right! Better having common tasks and infos just in sight. Vista do it very well.
Summarizing, imho I don't care who arrived first. Convenience must be first, innovation just after that.
And, maybe, in their next beta that will not be there any longer :D
