I mean, computers are here to help us, not adding more work. Instead of trying to make for easier for the user to verify the available space, shouldn't the interface remove that responsability from the user altogether? (this is not saying that easier ways to see available space are not welcome, but just aimed to a different purpose) Regards, Daniel Sébastien Laoût [temporar] wrote: >Le mer 08/12/2004 à 23:46, Henrique Pinto a écrit : > > >>Then you'd loose the intended functionality.
