Me as well. Being able to eyeball which publications have files and to open them is quite useful. One possibility might be to have something like Mail's attachment column; if narrow, it shows a paperclip; if widened, the paperclip as well as the number of items attached. I don't think there's a need to have "first file/second file/third file" columns. Currently I'm planning on putting in a script hook on autofile to copy over the first linked file to local-url, but as presumably local-url will be deprecated and eventually may disappear, that's not a permanent solution. (This is the case for URLs as well, but significantly less so...) -A ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
