May be better to withdraw this and only keep the "x" version? That one does work alright. But still, I have a couple gripes with it... In the "Standard" display, the file type signs (folder icon, type text) sit too close to the file names themselves, making them seem to be part of the names if they're (bolded) text. And you implemented a feature from Windows that I dislike so much that I avoid to use any software doing it the same: you separated (ripped off) the "extension" part of the filename and put it in a separate column (probabely to make it easier to sort by it). And another useless feature from Windows and other Gooeys (GUIs) was added as well, a list of predefined directories that may or may not exist on the target machine. Half of them do NOT exist on mine, so I just get an error message for these. Except for "Home" (that always should exist) the other two exist on my machine only because of some greedy software that couldn't refrain from tampering with my setup ("Documents" by LibreOffice, and maybe "Desktop" too). I don't use them at all. Oh yes, "Downloads". That was made by Firefox, I think. I indeed do use that, just so that Firefox has a place to put its downloaded files... One slightly annoying, because unexpected, effect is it that directories ("Folders") switch position if ANY column sorting sequence is switched. I'd find it less surprising if directories would always stay on top of the list, but others might see that differently. Maybe a candidate for parametrization? You forgot a "Close" button on the demo winsow! Otherwise, it's a very nice gadget, at least a whole lot more useful than the "standard" file dialog from gtk / gnome (which I simply find annoying). I think I will play with it some, and maybe incorporate it into my stand-alone file requester program. (BTW, as to the project setup: I'll never understand how anyone can be productive using these crude, huge "standard" characters. I always set them to something much smaller and more pleasant, like "editfontname=Lucida Console, editfontheight=12".) -- -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
