Old post, but I thought I would announce the recent release of ColumNav 1.0. It has matured quite a bit since the initial release. Check it out:

Grazr, in particular, is looking pretty slick nowadays.

Now I’m sort of annoyed that I just wrote a column-view file browser over the last few days.

Ryan, that JQuery version is very cool!

Leland and Torgeir, I just updated ColumNav to version 0.9.4, with support for multiple columns.

I like this, but I also really like the look of this one too, implemented with JQuery:

Click “Toggle Menu” at the top :)

Uh, nice! That really looks promising! Also it would be nice with action keys to browse left and right!

Brilliant! And I agree with Torgeir… it’d be great to make the widget expandable to more than one column at a time.

It would be very cool to see this code used to make a three pane browser along the lines of the three pane view in finder (the original NeXT step file browser view).
