- Hi all,
- Does anybody know if its possible to open WB direcory windows??
- I've looked at the RKM v2.04 without much help.
-
- Typical scenerio:
- You have some sort of editor which has about 15 programs
- loaded.
- You've set it up so you can drag icons into it which get loaded,
- (I think its called AppWin?) but you noticed that the screen
- looks messy with all this windows open.
-
- Now is it possible to open a directory window, eg dh0:program/
- (without having the window already open) and have all the icons displayed
- on screen, so they are available to be dragged into the AppWin.
-
- Another example is:
- You drag icons into a AppIcon, they get processed, the directory
- that they are saved to, is opened by the application, and then that icon
- is available to do something else.
-
- This seems to be a major hole in the opsys.
-
- Will I have to do all this manually.
- etc. create a window, read the directory .info files etc.. process the images
- into my own window etc..
- How does Workbench do all that?
-
- Baffled
