[Apc-aa-coders] fileman

[Mitra <mi...@ea...>]

There are a number of bugs in fileman.php3, its bad enough that my 
guess is that none of the developers are using it, so its not getting 
tested and code-rot is happening as other things are changed.

I've fixed a couple of problems - obvious code problems, like 
undeclared global variables being used, I'm offline at the moment, 
but will upload tomorrow.

I also think we have an interface issue, for example as I look at the 
File Manager page its totally unclear what to do.

First impression is that you have to fill in all three fields, most 
forms like that are ALL not ALTERNATIVE, so at the least the text on 
the left "Create new file " etc, need "OR" between them.

Next problem is that its unclear that you type in a filename and 
click on the left to Create a new file, several times I typed in a 
name and hit return, which submits the form and then nothing happens. 
If the intention is to fill the form in and then click Create then 
shouldn't it be a button on the right, rather than a link on the left.
