Great! Thanks very much Alex. I think you've just defined #2 for me!
Just about everything you asked for is desirable. I'll keep your list,
and when the times comes I'll try to include as much as I can. As you
will appreciate, at the moment I need to concentrate on achieving the
stability of #1 in its current primitive form, but as soon as I can I
will return to the task of improving the widgets.
Please do experiment with the INI parameters and let me know whether
they work OK on your machine.
I hope you don't mind if I post this reply to the list, as I think most
other potential users will be interested in the features you have asked
for. Also, your much appreciated interest might encourage others to try
out this first version of the widgets. OK?
Regards,
Bob

Dear Windows XP Users (and others),
This is a quick status report on the testing of the file and picture
chooser widgets available for download at

Hi Bob. I've started testing, but haven't yet experimented with
changing the .ini values. However, I do have some suggestions ....
One Bug (imho) : fix what happens when user hits TAB and shift-TAB
TAB should step the focus through the various controls. Currently it
moves focus from folder-list to file-list and then to "Cancel", but
although focus is on cancel, it leaves the most recent file
highlighted. Goes nowhere after the filter-list (Windows would
normally cycle back to first control). shift-TAB is apparently ignored.
some suggestions (these would be almost essential for me):
allow more flexible filters (see Rev docs)
should at least allow, e.g.
*.jpg;*.jpeg JPEG files but would be even better to allow
the full flexibility allowed by "answer file"
allow multi-file selection (with ctrl and shift click, or shift+arrow)
accept up-arrow and down-arrow keys in folder and file lists
clicking on a different directory should remove the preview of the photo
suggestions (these would be nice):
RETURN should be equivalent to clicking OK
(or cancel if that's your preferred default - but there should be
a default).
accept page-up and page down in folder and file lists
accept up/down arrow in filter list
allow "incremental search" in folder and file lists
(or at least initial letter selection)
make the preview optional (it's noticeably slow on 6Mb files, esp
across the wifi network :-)
allow left/right arrow to select between disks (a c d etc.)
make the window be sizable
allow user to change space allocation between list windows (or change
the space automatically ??)
