This application allows you to have certain directorys allways shown with small icons. It was written because someone wanted it on csa, and I was bored.
How?
~~~~
Edit the text file 'Dirs' inside the !SmallDir application. This is a list of the directories you want 'smallified'. The file is one line per directory. You can put just the end of path if you like, for example, if you had a line containing just 'programs' then any dir opened called programs would be smallified, but if you had 'ADFS::HD.$.Work.Programs' only that directory would be smallified. The case of the file is not important. As shipped this file contains some examples, modify these as necessary.
NB: The program is a very quick one, and as such doesn't do fancy memory management, so if you get an error such as 'No room for this DIM' it probably means there is not enough space to load the 'dirs' file. You can increase the wimpslot in the !Run file to overcome this.
Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~
It'll only work for directories double clicked on, and it doesn't work for applications. Also the filer windows tend to hop around a bit. Sorry.
Last bit...

Right, there is no warrenty, either express or implied, and this program is not guarenteed fit for use in any situation. I (the author) take no responsability for any (mis)use of this program by you (the user) and I can accept NO responsibility for any damage incurred by doing so.
Basically, if something goes wrong, it's not my fault.

Bugs¹
~~~~~
Right, lets get this straight, shall we. If you find a bug, don't just sit there swearing at the program, write to me and tell me, otherwise I can't fix them. Please include all the details about what caused the crash, ie, what setup, memory, OS version, expansion cards, your taste in music, etc. is all usefull.
Obviously all bugs have been added by me subconsiously and are in fact features designed to brighten up your day and bring a little frustration into your life... Ho hum!
