Hi Luiz,
Sorry - I didnt read your question properly (your message was clear enough).
Buddy API will do the trick, except that the Mac function is a beta.
Alternatively, you can use File Xtra, a MIAW, a dingbat font and make one
yourself. Its a bit fiddly, but works (I've done it in the past) I was
recently working on a file browser - a bit like the NeXT file browser. I
cant show you that, unfortunately, but I could give you a look at an older
Folder Browser (It was for a Mac only project, and it replicates the
functions of a Mac 'Select Folder' dialog). Basically, its a MIAW with a
Parent script with quite a simple interface: Methods to Open a directory,
open a subDirectory, go up a level, switch disks, and so on. For the user
interface, I used an embedded dingbat font for icons (so no colour or custom
icons). The 'do-it-yerself' approach is much more flexible (in terms of
customising the interface -- you can create a browser with the best
features/GUI of Mac, Windows - even Gnome / BeOS etc ), but using BuddyAPI
only involves writing a few lines of code rather than creating several
behaviours to interact with the parent script.
