This a concept I had for a Coverflow-like project for Linux called Gloobus.
Basically, Gloobus has two functions that I'm aware of: a coverflow utility, and a quick-look utility.
By integrating the coverflow utility into Nautilus, this could get rid of a possible mess, and make the file browser look more slick and professional. (Not to mention, it'd also look great for people who want to make their Gnome desktop look like Leopard)
Oh yes, and this is a rather quick mockup done in GIMP. I didn't bother finishing on painting the window. It's just a concept, after all.
Oh, also: you'll notice that there's pictures in the coverflow, but no pictures in the actual document space. That's not part of the concept, I just took his screenshot of Gloobus, and manipulated "Documents" in Nautilus to make it fit. Oh well.
