Directory Navigation - Red Hat 6.1 - KDE - Whole Linux Install
When I want to open a file in linux, I can navigate directory structures
if I highlight the directory and press Enter. It doesn't navigate with
the mouse i.e. clicking the highlighted directory (1, 2, many) doesn't
do anything.
Bug? Feature? Later?
Works in windoze! Probably because it uses windoze services (what can
we learn from this, Xfree?).
-------------------------------------------
I read in an html page saved from email. If I save it, it's .abw. If I
do save as, it add <p> to every line. I believe I should be able to
just say save and/or save-as, and have it ask if I want it in .abw or as
is.
To make the spec more explicit for cross-platform issues, the file open
could have HTML as a type.
In any case, I don't think it should add a bunch of html to an html
file.
--------------------------------------------
I personally think the XML is the way to go and, for sure, the wave of
the future. I'm working with a company that does a complete suite with
XML as its format and it seems to work very well and offers some nice
side benefit e.g. trivially able to use the word processor file in a
spreadsheet or slide show.
If ABI used XML, it could display HTML formatted or as script
(trivially). The non-trivial part, of course, is going to another file
format.
