The default will behave like now, so the "understanding" part should not be compromised. >From an implementation point of view, i'm noone to discuss your code. But i imagine that reading an index should not be much more effort than reading a letter. Maybe a couple of steps more. You say like 50 SLOC, well maybe, i don't know. But i think it worth it. Clutter? I'm not asking to add a bunch of stuff, just a file with one number in it. But if this is too much for your standards, maybe we can come up with another way which doesn't involve maintaining another file. I don't know, what about doing the name mangling in the fs instead in the viewed tags? So this way we have to deal with strings in code, and no opening/closing/reading/creating/etc more files than needed. So if i have this views: 'web chat' i will have this fs: /tags/1web /tags/2chat But in my bar it will not show the numbers. I don't think this is a better idea, but it solves the cluttering. Take it as a path of thinking for finding another way. And about your proposed solution is not that. Maybe calling "browser" instead of "web" solves this particular issue, but it's not a general solution. Mangling tag names or thinking on names that are not natural for me is not the solution i'm looking for. I prefer to be an unsatisfied user. -- Fernando Canizo - http://www.lugmen.org.ar/~conan/ Apretado como el rencor _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wmii
