- Well, while we're at adding things to the filer, here are some other
- suggestions:
- The option menu could use an extra: confirm when an existing file could be
- overwritten. Otherwise just copy.
- Key shortcuts would be very handy. I believe this has been suggested allready by
- someone. I think it would indeed be easiest to have the same conventions as
- used in other RISC OS programs.
- i.e. ^C copy
- ^V move
- ^Z clear selection
- ^X delete (preferably with a confirmation, something like :
- Are you sure you want to delete all those files? )
- ^E rename (edit name)
- and maybe some others.
-
- A wildcard (^W ?) select would be nice. And some kind of name translation as
- well.
