If so, I'm willing to donate >$25 to your personal beer fund!* ;) Haha :). Didn't you offer an update for the Dutch translation some time ago? We are currently in string freeze...:). j/k But btw, I recently added some new features to the filebrowser plugin which were also requested by you long time ago, IIRC. - files and directories now have a tooltip showing the full path - entering paths prefix with a tilde in the path entry works now, e.g. ~/projects/ - new option to set the path in the filebrowser to the path of the current file, the path changes when files are switched - new option to set the path in the filebrowser to the base directory of projects when a project is opened Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc
