there are one or two people on this list (who unfortunately are on the other admin lists) who can't seem to leave their personal issues at home. they seem to have a need to constantly show how much they know - and how little others know, irrespective of the different ways we got to where we are. most people (and companies who need help) prefer to avoid these kinds of people. too bad on a mailing list you can't avoid them, so you have to filter out the obnoxious nonsense from those folks to get to the useful info. dogs are going to poop on the sidewalk...ya just have to walk around it to avoid getting it all over your shoes.

we have clients who complain about the list view issue. mostly prepress environments and graphics shops (photographers who have folders with 1000's of images) they have to browse as they work. we tell them to use column view unless there's a specific reason for being in list view (well, sorting is a pretty big reason). unfortunately these folks need to keep 1000's of files in one folder. some use bridge (which sometimes seems less slow) to browse folders. the problem is especially bad in fullpress (fpo) environments (even with gigabit to the desktop).

someone mentioned the finder alternative (pathfinder?). is anyone using this in production environments?
