I think the File dialogs could benefit from some improvement in how path is
determined. This applies to at least export model and export submodels (in
Multipart mode)

Both default to the root of the C drive and don't remember last filepath
selected. Both use a dialog where you walk down the tree. Export model shows
you the old/current path but doesn't let you change it in the text box, and
the tree walk starts at root instead of what the old path showing is.

I think moving to the added capability of being able to cut/paste or
directly type file paths in via a text entry box (see, for example how
winzip does it in extract mode) would be helpful. I use deeply nested dirs
and it is fairly tedious to have to walk down each time.

I'll take that into the wishlist. The dialog currently used is standard windows .. if I haven't overseen something that's all it can do. But generating a new one might not be so hard ... I'll have a look. Michael "Larry Pieniazek" (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
