X=FAFile, "The Open File Dialog Fixer", is a desktop enhancer which adds major
enhancements to the standard OS/2 microscopic "open/save as" file dialog.
Nothing paranormal here - just real useful stuff.
X=FAFile runs under OS/2 3.0 or later, is small and non-intrusive, and will
save you from merrily-we-scroll-along syndrome. Works with many apps such as
System Editor and SmallEd - see list below for more. Another must-have X
utility from the company that gave you X=FAit and Matrix.
List of Features
* Replaces the tiny "open/save as" file dialog with a full height dialog
that is user customizable - prevents Carpal Scroll Syndrome by showing
more files and directories.
* Drive buttons at the top of every "open/save as" file dialog. Single click
moves you to that drive.
* History buttons for last files and directories accessed.
* A Frequent Directories button (quicklist) - jump to your favorite
directory in two mouse clicks!
* File Viewer button lets you view the current selected file using either
your favorite viewer, or the default WPS viewer for that file object.
* File Manager button lets you access the current selected directory using
either your favorite file manager, or the default WPS file manager (folder
is opened).
* All of the above functions/buttons are also accessible with a popup menu
(right mouse button or Shift-F10).
* Change the fonts for the file and directory lists - use a really small
font to really cram in all those files/directories.
* Both the "Drives" and "Type of File" drop down lists are lengthened to fit
the entire list on the screen - no more scrolling here either!
