Sorry -- I let an Americanism slip through there. You aren't able to quickly browse through the contents of a standard directory like you would be able to with a pile. Ideally, the content list would take up a minimum of screen space, not open an entirely new window. Since implementing those two (displaying a rough count and selecting a document via pop-up) are probably covered in Apples patent, we can't do those, but we may have come up with an interesting idea, anyway: What about media-specific folders? A directory type that rejects anything that's not the right MIME type... -- crawford@iac.net "The bullets are just his way of saying 'Keep it down, I've got a hangover.'"
