I appreciate software with an open file > function that allows me to find the files by typing around and open in > the current app. the dnd makes uses of another app that is devoted to futzing about finding files - the filemanager. but what you want there imho is not a file selector - that's a poor mans version of that. you want something like evrything in e built into your app - so you can navigate like a cmdline and find/play/see things. that's a whole new ballgame inho where the app wants to customize and define your view here - eg give you video thumbnails that actually play like the playlist widget on the right... this is a whole project on its own imho. > Binding something to open the e file manager and finding files and either > having them associated with an app or manually open in an app achieves > the same goal, though really differently ;) > > -- > mjt > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Slashdot TV. > Video for Nerds.
