- Yep, this is one of the things that still irritates me about workbench.
- in "view by name" mode you can't drag the list, and if there are hundreds
- of files you may not even be able to look at the names in the first place -
- I have a directory containing hundreds of files, and if I look at it
- (even in a "by name" mode) with WB I run out of chip mem. So I do dir |
- muchmore, or open a filerequester from multiview or something.
