RE: 1) Not a big problem, but one for the Could-Be-Tweaked list. (directory
list out of sync)
Noted, we will look into this.
RE: 2) A suggestion for an enhancement. (placement of highlighting)
This has always been a pet peeve of mine, but never quite rated the 'gotta do
now' list. I will look at this again.
RE:3) Wishlist item. (destructive join)
Actually this is in the current version you have. You have to set a special
flag that will allow it to join_contiguous files on the disk. Only contiguous
files can be joined destructively. A destructive join of non contiguous files
can actually take longer than a non destructive one, the only thing it is
saving you is the effort of deleting the original files. There would still
have to be an optimize, and in fact, it can fragment your disk more than a non
destructive join.
Come to think of it, there are quite a number of new features that are not
outlined in the readme docs of the beta software..<g> maybe its time to set
them free.<G>
