Talk:Directory (file systems)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
More information about directories (file systems) can be found in this old version of "directory". Specifically, information about folders appears to have been lost when the page was converted to disambiguation (I haven't been able to find those paragraphs back so far at least).

"Thousands" seemed like a small number. Just counting files on my laptop alone, I found over 700K files, so updated to hundreds of thousands. --Kim Bruning 16:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question
Does this article refer to this? If it doesn't, could someone direct me to the article that does? Wikiman232 01:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History
I really would like to know who first coined the "folder" metaphor. Was it originally Apple ? Or did they get it from Xerox PARC ? Maybe it was Susan Kare who thought of it when drawing the first files...

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mac OS X folder.png
Image:Mac OS X folder.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
