David,
just downloaded and tried XCD. Very nice, indeed. However, I would
like to report two bugs (and since I don't have Paul's email, I figured,
I might report them to you):
* When I double cklick on a directory, I sometimes get the error message
INDEX out of range ... This occurs when th eunderlying subdirectories
has fewer entries than the directory you are pointing at. Example:
adir
bdir
cdir
ddir---- addir
|- bddir
Say you double click on ddir, then you will get this error. Sure, you
can ask: why would he want to double click? That's just my fingers who
have always known to tremble when I want to change into a directory in a
file selector.
* The "drive" list in our Unix environment becomes _very_ long, i.e. it
extents beyond the borders of my 20" monitor, and unfortunately, there
is no way to scroll it.
Best regards,
Martin.
