I agree, 4.1 is a much better version. Further, I think some of your 'bugs'
are not bugs, but good features. 'Bug' #1: well who cares if they're
distinct from file names; it's not too confusing since they're not in the
window with the icons. I think this is a nice, non-offensive, easily
recognizable difference between the new and old finders which makes their
indentification much easier. Since I have many disks, its nice to be able
to tell just from lokking at the desktop, if I need to update that finder or
not.
'Bug' #3: The cursor is a very nice, fast way to tell if a file, folder,
or document is locked. This feature should be added so that it works all the
time for all windows.
You are correct about the finder needing at least one DA to work. A short
term 'solution' is just to put in something very small like the notepad.
maybe someone out there could write a mock accessory which does nothing but
take up less than 100 bytes.
