Re: File dialog (Silly Question)

["Michael T. Babcock" <mbabcock fibrespeed net>]

But if done properly, it would be a case of components, not one large
application (like IE).

There should be a file browsing component, that is used by the file manager
as well as the file common dialog.  It can be wrapped with different
buttons, but the same "API" and visual display ... etc.

------------
file manager
------------
buttons, menus
------------
insert "file list" here, with option x,y,z and callbacks x,y,z (note: there
are "right" ways to do this, and callbacks aren't them).
