Can someone who likes (even tolerates) spatial mode describe why?
I'm
completely baffled as to why anyone would prefer windows left open all over
the place randomly instead of just explicitly opening ones yourself in
places where you want them. For me, it is _always_ extra work to close the
unwanted windows compared to opening the ones I want.
Let me chime in. I love spatial mode. Because every folder has its
place and size. I know that when I open my Movies folder it will appear
in upper-left part of screen. When I open my NAS share, it will open at
the bottom. When I open my PDF dir it will be at the right place on
screen, and will be scrolled down to position when I finished last time.
When I open my photos folder, it will have List View activated. That's
what spatial is about -- keepin each folder size and position.
The second part of your question is pure FUD. When I open new window
and don't want parent directory open, I just open with middle button.
Some people prefer Shift+click in this situation. I never has to use
"Close all parent folder" (ctrl-shift-w), but I aware it exist.
And my middle button is between left and right button. On my laptop.
