Great, and cool that you touched imports, that's also something I'm hesitating on. I'll be doing your suggested refactors, and am considering consolidating into a single .py. Thanks!

Nice! Nitpick: converting entities (such as '—'es) to their actual representation ('—') in the titles would be nice, currently they show up as 'mdash'

Thanks, yea we will have to do some work on cleaning up our title and description parser. Will add to the bug list.

Cool. Also, props for the pun, that's a fine name you found here :)

On: Show HN: hColumns – a jQuery plugin that looks like OS X Finder Column View

Crisp! By the way:

- Any idea why this view isn't used in file managers other than Finder? (especially Windows Explorer & GNOME Nautilus/Files). This view has so many advantages (very visual, enable quick round-trips in a hierarchy, show the path leading to a leaf while conserving screen space, enable copying files from anywhere to anywhere, more adapted to our horizontal screens and vision than traditional WindowsExplorer-ish views) that I can't understand why it wasn't copied elsewhere. Is it patented?

- Any option for such a file manager under Linux/Windows? Maybe a Nautilus extension/fork (and under windows, an Explorer patch/extension)?

On Linux, I guess there is always GWorkspace: http://www.gnustep.org/experience/GWorkspace.html
