[opensource-dev] Client 2.0 - sidebar

[Miro]

Good review here of the 2.0 interface:

Personally, I find the UI highly unintuitive, plus it breaks decades of 
well established "rules", like having file operations all in the top 
menu bar, under "File" (as 1.x viewers do). Search now is all over the 
place instead of centralized. And what about opening multiple inventory 
windows to facilitate moving things from one place to another?

The we have the new imposed outfit system. Why force people to use that 
if they have developed their own methods? Why saddle us with additional 
folders that cannot be deleted if they are not needed/used?

As for the sidebar, worst UI design I have seen since 1981 when I 
started in computing. Or nearly anyway.
