Thanks!  That's been keeping me from adding more bugs to BD lately ;).

Not sure what you mean there?

Yeah, that's a case where the controller object in this case just  
returns [NSNull null] after the view tells it to delete the file.

I've avoided doing that because it means adding selection semantics,  
but I think you're right.  It looks too Finder-like for that not to  
work.

I'm not happy with the text display, either; I need multiple lines  
with truncating in the middle, and Cocoa doesn't seem to offer that.

Right now the view just displays in whatever order the datasource  
provides, like a tableview.  So a delete action sends the datasource a  
message to remove a given item by index, and then it can handle that  
by doing whatever it wants.

I'd thought about displaying a count bubble on each icon, so there'd  
be some notion of order, since scripting could access items by index.

Minimum size is 0.1, I think, but it's definitely too small to be  
useful.  I'm surprised the slider doesn't update when the zoom  
changes; I'll check that.

Hopefully that's a Tiger bug in binding to a slider.  I ran into that  
on my work machine and forgot to fix it here.

thanks,
