The PDF application is also a very good example in my opinion. Okular does implement this kind of functionnality by using an XML file in a hidden directory (some kind of database from their point of view). You move the file, you loose the information and a file is leaking on your system. -- Cedric BAIL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
