While we all eagerly await a new hierarchical file system, here a
couple of suggestions for the Standard File Dialog box --
* Allow user to type as much as file name as needed to disambiguate the
file. (Instead of always interpreting typing as simply
selecting the first letter of files.) This feature will also
make it possible to write much more powerful Journal files!
* Add horizontal scrolling! (I'm sure everybody has been burned on
this one!)
It actually appears that anyone could write a new Standard File Dialog
box resource, to be installed in the System folder, to implement these
and any other fancy features desired. Anyone want to give it a try??
