Well I think it would be pretty easy easy to implement a popup target list. Perhaps the source list could be stretched down to fill the screen then if the menu choice requires a target folder it pops up. thus informing the user they need to select a destination.

I know that the "skinning" of the file manager is not implemented into MXM skins,thats the problem I'm seeing... When you resize the screen, I see the Images all shrinking but the text from the actionscript output, staying in the same position on the screen, thus making it go outside of the rectangles...

you know, there is no real reason to use a target list is there?

does the windows explorer have a target?

since the items being copied... are being put into a "queue".. then why cant we just use the next "mark" after the action to mark the destination?

then the window can be made larger, and/or the queue be made available for display/unmarking.

so if i want to copy 3 files from c:\media. i mark them
I select COPY from the menu, .. they go into the queue. then I navigate to where i want them pasted in the same list. I Mark the destination and once that mark is made i get the confimation/execution results.

A single "trigger" variable could hold whether that second mark was made after the copy command.

Actually, I know there isn't, but it's much more convenient to be viewing both source and destination directories at the same time. I almost always open two windows while doing file management, just easier that way. So I vote for sticking with the 2 pane view, and make both lists 'equal', like the managers in the other dashes do. Executing an action from either list should be possible.

I'll have a quick chime in (yes I have been reading all this)
Great work so far, it is looking very good, espec the iconts for dvd and hd etc. Looks very proffesional.
I agree With geniusalz, I NEVER use the default windows explorer because it only has one window, I prefer a explorer that has two windows that I can explorer separately, makes it alot easier to use!

Sheesh, I am away for a while and you guys take over everything...

You know, it was my intial intention to keep the target list dirs onlys. But I figured people would complain.

Now seriously, who's in faver of being able to do operations from either list?

im not... file ops from the source only.. unless you need the target for move/copy.

geniusalz · « **Reply #24 on:** June 02, 2004, 01:43:00 PM »

I'm in favor.. for the convenience, and since it's almost set up that way anyway.

flattspott · « **Reply #25 on:** June 02, 2004, 01:56:00 PM »

Well either way, you will always be able to create new folders in the target list.

So I was thinking about the ordered searching stuff to put the items in alphanumeric order.

Now that I think about it, it should kinda easy to at least put everything in order based on the first character. While this would mean you might get a list like

Avacado
Apple
Two
Three
Ten

at least they'd be in more of an order then the way it is now.
