#PAR.EXE comments
Hello Brick!
Been using the PAR a lot lately (1.30b) and have a few small comments.
1) Not a big problem, but one for the Could-Be-Tweaked list.
When restarting the PAR.EXE, the directory name at the top of the
file box is not correct in the following example:
(My PAR directory is D:\UTILS\DPS_PAR)
-Start PAR.EXE
-Access files on C:\JKJ\WORK\TRANS
-Exit PAR
-Restart PAR.EXE
-The directory in the file box header is
C:\JKJ\WORK\TRANS
The files within the box, however, are those of
D:\UTILS\DPS_PAR
-Switching to any other DIR fixes the header
2) A suggestion for an enhancement.
Efficiency of use would be much improved with a small change: When
deleting an animation, place the highlight on the file following the
one just deleted, rather than move the highlight to the top of the
file list. This would save a bunch of rescrolling down a long file
list when working within a project.
3) Wishlist item.
Although I appreciate the non-destructive JOIN, my personal wishlist
includes a destructive join option, perhaps implemented by way of a
check-box in the join dialog. I usually work by creating a bunch of
small sequences (often single frames), JOIN them in a sequence, then
delete all the components. A destructive JOIN would save a bunch of
renaming/deletion.

PS: Great gizmo! The PAR has greatly improved the way I can work.
