Keywords:open panel gray'ed out While this is not a critical issue, I need help figuring it out. On my machine, when I run an application and bring up the open panel, the only names which show up are those with valid extensions, or UNIX sub-directories. However, on other machines, I often notice that ALL the files/directories show up, BUT the invalid ones are gray'ed out. This happens with the same app, running on different machines. I suspect this might be a preference or something but I can't find it in any documentation. Thanks for any help. Ed Blackwood eahb@visus.com Software Engineer: Visual Understanding Systems, Inc.

The "Large File System" button in Preferences is responsible for the difference. On large (and slow) file systems, having the invalid files show up as gray (rather than not show up) means that the OpenPanel does not have to stat all the files in a directory before it can show the browser column.
