Personally, I think the filter system is fine as it is. I doubt I'd notice if the filters were saved accross sessions or not, since I'm usually just picking out file types (so I type them in). I think the current system is fine.
Getting the RO state from the file attributes is exactly what I'd like. The only other UI thing I've felt was missing is having a tool-tip when the mouse rests over a file that's too long to fit in the list showing the full file name. If you were going down the columns route you could create 4 columns (customisable order & visibility) for name, path, type & modified date (from file modified property). Sometimes I do work on several similar files and I can see a situation where knowing which of those files I last edited would be handy. In summary though, this is a really handy tool. I feel that it's really missing a "file name" column and this is something I think most people would need. Personally I'd get a lot of use from a Read Only & Missing File colour scheme option. Again, personally, I think the filter system has it pretty much nailed down. Finally, showing modified dates could end up being quite handy. Everything else (icons, file types) is just icing. As I said this is really a really handy tool. I think everyone would fine it useful, if they would only download and install it! ;-) -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,40752,40996> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
