James,
There's one big problem with the Prowrite 3.1 requester.
While the program is reading the directory, you can click in the string
gadget and type the filename if you already know it. However, when PW
finishes reading the directory, it substitutes the first file in the list
for whatever you typed. If you've already hit return, PW loads the wrong
file.
For instance, the first file in my docs:reviews directory (where I point
Prowrite by default) is 3DPro. If I type in "flow" as my review name and
hit return, BEFORE the directory is finished reading in, it's replaced by
3DPro, which is loaded since I've already hit Return. This is the one thing
that bugs me more than anything else about PW.
I don't really see much point in always putting the first file in string
requester. I see two options: (1) Don't put anything in the gadget until
you click on SOME name or type something, or (2) Don't put the first
filename in the gadget if the user has already typed something else.
That's my biggest want in PW 3.2.
Thanks,
