>>>Also, The DOS file slider does not conform with the same sliders in
any other software I've used. For example, in a windows file
selector, open to a directory with 1300 files. if files 0 thru 9 are
in the window, then a click in the bar should bring up files 9 thru
19 (or 10 – 20), and another click would bring up 19 thru 29, and so
on. Why does every click in the PAR's file slider drop down 130 or so
files in the same 1300 file directory?<<<
>>>Is this an amiga thing? <<<
Hey don't blame the Amiga. AmigaDOS has great dynamic file sliders,
something that I miss on Windows. On the Amiga the file slider takes
up the whole column if the number of files is equal or less than the
required number of line. The slider changes dynamically growing
smaller as the number of files increase. In Win/Mac the slider is
always the same size and you don't know when you are at the bottom
until the list ends.
>>Hey don't blame the Amiga.
I'm not blaming the Amiga for anything. I have no idea how
sliders work on the Amiga, all I know is that the sliders in the new
PC PAR software are a pain to use if there are a large number of
files in the directory, and that it works differently than ANY other
DOS/Win sliders I have ever used. If DPS is going to change the
operation of the sliders, they should at least improve them, not make
it more difficult to find a file(s).
