Filer will be removed from Bugs section

Since I'm no longer the maintainer of the Filer program I will remove the bug tracker for it on OS4Depot in a few days.

If you have any pending issues registsred in the site then I suggest that you submit them to Hyperion directly.

Once I have removed the bug tracker for Filer then it will no longer be possible to see any issues for it on os4depot.

So, this means Filer will be included to the os4.2 right? :)

Filer is on the FE CD so no need to wait for 4.2

Sorry, *integrated* (to the os4.2) was the word I was looking for :)

@densho

Well context menus has automatic support for it, 'integrated' is here in FE too, though more would be possible, I'm sure.

I've understood that goals of OpenAmiga projects are to enchance OS4. Certainly more would be possible and the best option (IMHO) is to replace icon based file listers completely. Or at least text based filelistings.

Even Filer's synopsis states "Create a replacement file lister that resembles the ones used in Diropus and Diropus Magellan."

If I remember well there was some OS limit for fully integrate filer into the OS. It was something like not possible to copy files between filer window and wb window.
With FE this limitation has been resolved?

I think you are refering to the fact that only Workbench can initialse a drag and drop when draging icons arround.

As such you could drag a icon from workbench and drop it on filer but not the other way round.

This was worked arround by Origin absolutely ages ago, and drag and drop between filer and workbench has been working fine since long before 4.1 FE.

Also drag and drop between filers.
