- This is one for the user interface police :)
-
- After an application receives an 'odoc' Apple Event to open a document
- should it arrange it so the next Standard File [Open] Dialog that is
- brought up by the user is the same directory that the 'odoc' document
- came from?
-
- It is not difficult to do this as a programmer, but I have noticed
- most Mac applications don't (ResEdit, for instance). Personally I
- would _like_ them to change the GetFile directory, but what does Apple
- have to say on the matter (if anything)? What are applications
- supposed to do?
