First the question:
What is the use of being able to click on the filename in the System
7.0 Get Info box? When I get info on a file named "Text File" and click
on its name in the Get Info window it changes to "!Text_Fi.le". This
only happens when File Sharing is on, and looks pretty much like a
MeSs-dos filename... The weird thing is that Balloon Help tells me
"This is the name used for the item in Finder windows and on the
desktop" for _both_ cases. When I close the Get Fino window while the
name is "!Text_Fi.le", nothing changes on the desktop however...
Now the bug:
When I point to the name of an _alias_ in a System 7.0 Get Info box
Balloon Help tells me that "This is the name used for the item in
Finder windoes and on the desktop. The underline indicates that items
in this window are currently sorted by this title"????? All other
Balloons give proper texts... Can anyone repeat this one?
And a minor conceptual bug (not related to the previous):
When you _move_ a file from one folder to another folder containing an
item with the same name, the Finder warns whether you want to replace
that item "with the one your moving". However when you _copy_ a file
from one disk to another the Finder should ask whether I'd like to replace
the item with the one I'm "copying" (not "moving"). It does so in all other
cases, so why not in this one?

The "...underline..." sentence is tacked on to the balloon for list view titles if you point at the one which is underlined. Obviously out of place here. -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu
