What I would like is the filedialog keeping it's current directory, so not starting at scratch all the time within an application. That also includes the loading of the iconlist, which btw. is rather slow as well. The second issue is more a think-about thingy and that's the scrollbar. I think that scrollbars don't port so well for touch screens (and no mouse). Scroll keys would help but are often for other usages. I think the old X style MMB, that when cliched actually scrolled to that position, is already a big improvement. Maybe it's already configurable somewhere? A quick idea is eg. | a | b | c |d|e|XX|f|g| h | i | j | where XX is the scrollbutton, e and g the area when clicked a half page scroll, d and g a full page scroll, c and h two pages scroll, etc. and finally a and j are acting like MBB when clicked. Has to be recalculated on each position/viewport sizes changes. The above reminds me that dragging, like with the home applets, simply are unusable. Regards, Koos
