- Yeah!, this would be nice. And a prefs program called
- Menuprefs or something like that.
-
- An Arexx port for WB is a must, it would allow an easy
- implemntation of this and some other features.
-
- It would be nice to have also a multithreading WB, I find
- really annoying copying something with WB and -wait- until
- the copy is finished.

-
- I would prefer a rewrite of the Icon system, it really
- sucks.
-
- Am I the only one annoyed with icon redraw when you move
- lots of icons ?, when moving lots of icons and droping them
- the WB redraws once for each icon in the group, wouldn't it
- be better to opdate all icons and then redraw?.
-
- Maybe this is a problem from icon.library.
-
- ...And wouldn't it be better to store the icons in a
- different way...kill those .info files!!!!. What about using
- a single file for all icons in a dir, this would speed
- up thigs a lot. The only problem I see is retaining
- compatibility with the old icon system, but this could be
- easily solved with some kind of fall-back.
-
- That single file could be also used as a directory cache for
- list and dirs. Or maybe a filesystem in which icon info is
- an attribute of the file (and thus deleted, copied and moved
- with the file even when performing those action from the
- shell).
-
- And what about default imagery for icons. I am not talking
- of default icons that we already have, but icons with
- tooltypes, default tools, etc that use the user prefered
- imagery, this would be useful for .guide, .doc,etc.

- What about localization of directory names??
-
- Why should I use a drawer called system when in my
- localized Partition, when it had to be called "Sistema",
- why "utilities" instead of "utilidades"????
