It does tie the fuseactions to filenames, but not necessarily those of the processing and display templates. It's simply the difference between each fuseaction *file* being one or two lines of code and each cfcase being one or two lines of code. For example, you could have a folder and file structure that was only designed to mimic the circuits and fuses, i.e. just 1 or 2 lines in each file, and keep the act_, dsp_ etc. files in a completely separate path. To me that seems a lot simpler than having to hunt through cfswitches. Anyway, I'm sure there's not a lot of point second-guessing the Fusebox committee. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
