Re: default filemanager

Well I also use a mac on a daily basis. There really isn't that much open source for macs especially stuff that runs native. There's a lot of shareware and a lot of commercial. GTK+ doesn't run native while QT does. There's a real demand and it looks like KDE will get there soon :D

When Kde4 is released I will certainly be cherry picking all kinds of applications as I currently do. I will also let windows users know of all the cool kde apps especially amarok.

kde apps on mac os is great and better than the alternative of just mac os with non-kde apps, but i'll be honest: i'd rather see mac users using kde apps on kde. =) that's my personal goal (as opposed to the goal of the kde project as a whole =) ... which means we have to make something compelling enough out of the kde platform that we can woo mac and windows people off their current systems

    I love the idea of running my favorite KDE apps (and there is a lot of them) on my macbook, since I can't run Linux on it due employer requirements. I would however prefer running them on a OS supporting a full KDE environment.

    There is one thing keeping me on OS X, the most important is FileVault, encrypted home, everything else I could do without or has a working replacement for under Gentoo.
