Apropos of John's number 3, the most annoying thing about ERMapper to me is its
inconsistency about where it is saving things to and opening things from..
Sometimes, as John says, you have to start at square one (on NT, "volumes") and
go through the whole process to get to the directory you are working in, and
sometimes it defaults to the directory you were working in before you switched
to the current directory. This latter is the most annoying, because if one
forgets it, and just takes "save" or even "save as" without carefully checking
where it is saving, you find that you have overwritten the equivalent file on
the previous project. I have lost days of work this way, as I am often in a
hurry and working on "automatic pilot".

Subject: enhancements etc
While we are on the topic of bugs, how about a few enhancement requests? We
have covered a lot of major ones in the past and I'm hoping to see some of
them soon, but there are a few very simple ones that would help in
day-to-day use of the program.
1. How about a prompt to save when you close an algoritm window? This is
pretty standard stuff and I have often closed a window accidentally and
regretted it.
2. Crosshairs, especially in linked windows (I think this has been requested
dozens of times by various people).
3. The ability to use \\SomeServer\SomeShare\SomeFile.ers instead of having
to map drive letters. It is annoying to have to do so, besides which the
drive letter doesn't show up in the list until you restart ER Mapper. It is
a bit odd that ER Mapper developed the ability to use URL's over the
internet before it developed the ability to access files within our local
area network without drive letters.
4. An easy way to edit toolbars. There are several annoying toolbars which
only have 1, 2 or 3 buttons on them. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to move
buttons around without having to edit obscure text files.
