This was discussed several times, last I think in this thread: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2008-October/009118.html IMHO it would be quite a bit more useful than the restricted interface we have now. You could build such a chooser yourself using the datastore.find(query) function. But adding a similar "query" parameter to the object chooser was deemed too powerful, possibly unsupportable once the datastore was rewrittten. Maybe a list of mime types would be acceptable to add, though? - Bert - _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
