Too bad it isn't a simple matter to "describe" directory layouts, i.e. via some form of simple config file that specified where experiments were described and where the corresponding types of files might be present. This would restrict the above solution to a more manageable starting point. i.e. ExperimentDirectory=/path/to/experiment1:/path/to/experiment2/ FileNames=*wildcard.*describing?file.names:alt.name*.cdf etc... though XML could be used, instead of sh or similar variable assignment. (by simple, I mean "few minutes of coding"). For an example of what I am sort of thinking about, try Emacs's ECB (code browser), which does is configurable to add project homes for browsing and hypertext links. (but it isn't exactly, since I'm thinking of refining more for data analysis rather than project/software development). best, -tony A.J.

regarding the directories, another possiblity is to have 3 windows: 1-directories, 2-files, and 3-chosen files. On Mon, 1 Apr 2002, John Zhang wrote: > > >From: "Rafael A.

I personally will not be bothered by seeing directories together with other files in the same window. That is commonly done by other applications as well. I am not sure if it is worthwile to put a third window just for the directories. > >On Mon, 1 Apr 2002, John Zhang wrote: > >> >> >From: "Rafael A.
