- Salutations Per for on the 04 Mar 96, verilly did you scribe;
-
- >> : - a hidden flag for assignments the user doesn't want to see (If :
- >> program XY wants XY: assigned to its home I'm not interested).
-
- >> We already have this! Standard option to Assign: DEFER.
-
- PJ> DEFER hides assigns? Of course it doesn't. What he wants (and me to) is
- PJ> a way to HIDE current working assigns so they don't show up in
- PJ> filerequesters etc. So you only see those you deem usefull to see.
-
- Amen! Also Assigns should be in a config file or something. Zillions of
- Assign commands in a script is just plain stupid.
-
- Text config can be editted by Installers and a GUI which should come with
- WB. Sure, loads of us use AssignsPrefs utils but at the end of the day every
- bloody installer just chucks 5 lines on the bottom of an ever bloating
- user-startup.
