'Type Manager' The File Manager of Tomorrow?
IceFox writes "In the past few years many of us have been introduced to a new type of application, the Type Manager. Most of us are familiar with iTunes, but there are many other Type Managers out there that are gaining market share and a rabid fan base of users such as digiKam and amaroK. Type Managers seem to have that magic combinations of features that makes users love them. I have been taken a closer look at the Type Manager, what makes them so usefull, what they really provide for the user and came to some surprising results. After creating a list of all the traits of a Type Manager I was able to define exactly what a file manager should be and discovered that there are in fact many partial Type Managers out there now that implemented only half of what makes up a full Type Manager."
Why do I get the feeling that this is secretly a test to see how many times a summary can have a meaningless buzzword repeated before people start complaining?
I mod down anyone who says "I will be modded down for this", regardless of the rest of their comment
