'Type Manager' The File Manager of Tomorrow? 321
IceFox writes "In the past few years many of us have been introduced to a new type of application, the Type Manager. Most of us are familiar with iTunes, but there are many other Type Managers out there that are gaining market share and a rabid fan base of users such as digiKam and amaroK. Type Managers seem to have that magic combinations of features that makes users love them. I have been taken a closer look at the Type Manager, what makes them so usefull, what they really provide for the user and came to some surprising results. After creating a list of all the traits of a Type Manager I was able to define exactly what a file manager should be and discovered that there are in fact many partial Type Managers out there now that implemented only half of what makes up a full Type Manager."

It's hard to tell if he's got the self-delusion and inattention to detail fully down, but we could be looking at a Malda clone here.

Additionally, there'd be a way for software components to register as viewers of file types in some global database, so that they could integrate with the default shell and display previews. They should also be able to open the type manager or print, perhaps integrating into shell's context menus.
Yup, welcome to Windows 95 with a bunch of MFC applications, COM components and the registry.

Still, the thoughtless creation of Meaningless Pseudo-Buzzwords (MPB) does run rampant among the illiterati.
In response to this plague of drivel (POD), the international community has decided to adopt new procedures. (um. that's us)
Effective immediately, all MPB's are to be reviewed for acceptance by DIVOT (Departmente Internacional for Verification Of Truth). Just as the creation of TLA's is regulated by the ACT, DIVOT's management of MPB's will help improve global communications.
And stop with the new TLA's, already. We here at the ACT (Acronym Creation Team)don't appreciate this kind of interference by MIA's (Mis-Informed Amateurs).

I agree....instead of criticizing the guy, maybe people could add some insight on to how to quickly and easily manage their own files besides using iTunes?
