Other than editing the LW-config file to suit your drives, I don't
think so. (If you don't use df0: or ram: much from LW, you could add
one or two more-often-used devices in those buttons.)
LW's file requesters have always been behind the curve in file
requester technology. At first, they didn't even have a parent button.
(But at least they don't display all the .info files... and they do
alphabetize... and they're fast... )
A drives button or, even better yet, a volumes button, along with
multiple selection (for loading lots of objects, for instance) would
make for a near-perfect requester.
Anyone know if 4.0 will have improved file requesters?
Any of you plug-in authors plan on offering a new one? Hint, hint.
