I agree with Vincent, but then again I have always prefered the pinboard's behaviour over the likes of GMC and KFM. > > If it isn't a directory, should it go in a separate program? > > I don't understand. If the pinboard isn't just a directory like everything else, then perhaps some form of launcher program rather than adding the functionality to the filer. I myself like this idea, since at the rate things are going, ROX-filer could end up as a monolithic mess. It already does normal filing and act as the icon bar, which I think should be separate programs, perhaps with a libROX for the functions both programs use. > > 5.

However, if we do go with the "pinboard as a separate launcher program" then it won't really matter, since the filer won't be affected by the pinboard's development. -- Darren Winsper (El Capitano) - ICQ #8899775 Stellar Legacy project member - http://www.stellarlegacy.tsx.org DVD boycotts.
