Yes, thanks.
I was rather thinking here from an end user perspective i.e. I would have
expected to see the DisplayName or something similar in the Windows explorer
so that the user can, for example, delete an item without even launching the
application that uses this item.
Similarly I was thinking about having a kind of specialized browser that
would allow to display properties for the various items while browsing.
Or perhaps users are not expected to browse WinFS volumes directly and would
rather always or mostly interact with items even for deletion,
organization, importation through applications ?
I noticed also that drag and drop between WinFS and an NTFS volume doesn't
work. I would have expected to have an automatic import/export here so that
a user can just move its item through a USB key and have them used by a
WinFS application once copied without any explicit importation in the
application...
A bit hard to figure out the intended way of using this as this is quite a
new paradigm.
