Libraries implementation seems SO clumsy... am I missing something?
OK, "no whining" was not included in the rules, so here goes:
I understand the concept of Libraries, but a good idea is not enough! It needs to be better implemented!!!! Irritants just encountered in adding to libraries:
* when I add to a library I can't hold down the control or shift keys to select multiple folders although this is standard stuff these days
* when I add that next folder I could not select with CNTL I am now viewing the next level INSIDE the last folder I just added to the library. That's not a useful default!
* still trying to include more folders to my new library. I choose Add then look in my Sidebar where I hope to see some useful locations/folders. But to find anything, I have to start from the top of my disk drives unless I happen to have already covered my Desktop with shortcuts!
SO WHY don't I see "add to library" as an option when I right click on a folder?
Seems to me that it should be easier to get to commonly used locations, e.g. your own "default" locations, other users default location, and public folders.
And why haven't those indispensable add-ons "copy to folder" & "move to folder" become part of Windows: it would be so nice if they could open the desktop and follow shortcuts, etc.
But of course I am still suffering from using the automated migration tool from XP to Windows 7. I ended up with lots of duplicate folders copied from a backup drive to my new drive. Perhaps "public" is an artifact from "shared" that is not well integrated into Windows 7? Is anything well integrated in Windows 7?
Maybe I am just getting too old. I still miss DEC VAXen, Apollo/Domain, CDC and other charming antiques. And I think I feel a (tiny bit) better now.
