5 AppDirs starting with "!" sorted first - ID: 962228
Last Update: Comment added ( tal197 )

If the option "Directories come first" is enabled, then
AppDirs come in the normal sorting order after those
directories.

This patch allows special cases - if an AppDir name
starts with an exclamation mark ("!"), then it will be
sorted before directories if "directories come first"
is enabled.

This is intended for special cases only, and not for
general use; however a ROX-based OS may, say want the
main AppDir driving the system to be called "/!System",
so now it'll always come first in a filer window on /.

I'm going to close this one, as it seems like a special case
that isn't very useful. Why would you want System to appear
before other apps anyway, even if you did have other
applications at the top-level (which normally you wouldn't)?
