I took more time today to play with GNOME Shell…
Now this is just a dirty dirty dirty hack, I will look into cleaning up by the next week (I have some other things I need to take care of)
So the current proposal looks like this (it is being updated since the whole layout changed)
I took the liberty to try to implement this mockup. My hacks are not complete yet thus I am missing some categories. But it should be a small modification (too lazy now after a 10 hours session of JS)
This is how it looks like in my hack:
Again this is working code.. I will be committing a patch over the weekend for the shell devs to know what I am actually doing with Zeitgeist. But a good clean code has to wait a bit, but sometime around Christmas I should have the first clean patch. Right now I am just too tired.
AGAIN THIS IS CODE NOT MOCKUPS
Nice! I much prefer this way of grosuping things
Your Desktop label here has me wondering if it would make sense to actually replace Nautilus as the thing that draws folders on the desktop. Dragging and dropping a file to the desktop could “pin” it as in Activity Journal.
I’m quite excited about this, wherever it goes. It’s a good thing we can pick and choose a shell without needing to ditch Gnome; at thi

Greate.
But, I don’t think “Desktop” is the good term for the “File Historic”.
Any plan for a “Shortcuts” section, like in Gnome 2.XX, in Gnome Shell?
Great stuff!
Glad to see this happening.
NIce stuff, congrats.
Where’s the code for this? Or it never happened.
Awesome ! Also, if this will allow browsing any files(renaming them, going to network folders, seeing path to a file when hovering “Desktop” button if browsing option is enabled) and not only the ones that are written in zeitgest history then we can forget about file browsers like nautilus, dolphin etc. Oh and, changing “Desktop” to “Files” or something like that would be more understandable.
Just my 2 cents:
now:
All
Dosuments
Videos

proposition, if file browser will be implemented too:
History (that would be default option)
Browser/File browsing/File browser (clicking here will change categories to visible folders in home directory)
….

1 more feature would be nice.
Clicking on the file with left button will close shell and open file, just like with applictaions now. But there is something else that needed. If there will be an option in context menu to open it but not closing the shell. It will allow to open more files with less time wasting thus one of the last main feature that file browser needs.
