But did BeOS store stuff like icon position and state in the metadata too?
I did not think they did, but for the life of me i never remember seeing
hidden files either.... or did tracker keep tabs on icons locations for the
user?
I should disclame that icon location is useless on a server, and i agree with
that completely. Its just my focus is on Linux as a desktop OS, so I tend to
gravitate towards ideas that make it more usable to the lower common
denominator of computer users... (note i do not mean stupid ones, just ones
who enjoy NOT dicking with their computer, and want to get their work done)
