Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. - Leonardo da Vinci

You know you've achieved perfection in design, not when you have nothing more
to add, but when you have nothing more to take away.

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the
necessary may speak.

Simplicity carried to the extreme becomes elegance. - Jon Franklin

if your customers don't experience quality in your product throughout, they
may conclude there is lack of quality everywhere - some developer

Omit Needless Words

My all time favorite !

Omit Needless Words

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.

A Windows Explorer in a User Control

Functionality of Windows Explorer in a user control using C#

Idea: Functionality of windows explorer wrapped up as a control. User can
browse through all the folders in the computer including network folders and
select the path.

The Long story, while working on a photo editing software i frequently needed
to test different images from different folders. i have to call an open dialog
then browse for the folder and then select the file. 4 clicks well not too much
but if you have to test 10 images in the same folder same process have to be
repeated for all of them, more if you have 10 images in different folders well
10 X 4 clicks, i call it Multiple Mouse Clicks For Single Operation (MMCFSO).
Explains why the whole software world relates reducing MMCFSO with the ease of
use.

MMCFSO is not just needed for a imaging application. Where ever you have to
select multiple files from multiple destinations you need this. So i think an
effort to create a windows explorer user control is worth it.
