The subject of 'Virtual Folders has been very interesting, but there are some ramifications that are being missed. What happens when the user faces a 'mini-finder' dialog such as that displayed by SFGetFile? He will still see every file in the 'real' directory, plus all those in the 'Virtual' directories. This does not alleviate the cluttered directory problem at all. I would far prefer the "special subdirectory" solution where files with common attributes are placed in a single subdirectory. This allows the mini-finder to work properly and is far less confusing to the user. _THIS_ is what I hope to see (besides IPC) in the 7.0 release! Jack Brindle.
