[comp.sys.mac.programmer] SFPGetFile and color items

mxmora@unix.SRI.COM (Matt Mora) (01/23/91)

I have a few questions about a dialog filter for SFPGetFile.

1) Is the dialog filter additive? (meaning can somting like boomerang
   and another SFPGetfile init co-exist?)

2) Can a filter be written to allow the folders and files so there
   Finder colors?

3) Can the filter Sort the items to display any way it wants? i.e
   by color, date or size?

It would be a lot easier to find a file that you are looking for if 
you could see its color. Even easier if the files and folders were
sorted by a user defined order.

Is there any such enhancment for the SFPGetfile on the market. And if
not, how hard would it be to write one?

Thanks,

Matt
