Well, while we're at adding things to the filer, here are some other
suggestions:
The option menu could use an extra: confirm when an existing file could be
overwritten. Otherwise just copy.
Key shortcuts would be very handy. I believe this has been suggested allready by
someone. I think it would indeed be easiest to have the same conventions as
used in other RISC OS programs.
i.e. ^C copy
^V move
^Z clear selection
^X delete (preferably with a confirmation, something like :
Are you sure you want to delete all those files? )
^E rename (edit name)
and maybe some others.
A wildcard (^W ?) select would be nice. And some kind of name translation as
well.
