- How about "Leave out"? :) I have a documents (manuals, articles, ETexts,
- etcetera) directory which I've given a nice icon (I spend too much time
- drawing icons and not enough time coding :) ) and which I "Leave out" on
- the workbench. Looks just like another volume, hey! :)
-
- (By the way, I also have nested directories from hell, which is why I use
- ToolManager with the dock enabled, and "Leave out" current projects. I only
- wish they would regain their old snapshot locations when they were "Put away".)
