Yes, I played with default.prp, but it is global settings for ave.
Another thing...
I have almost finished simple file manager ala Directory Opus for AVE,
but I have some problems with it...
1. QSORT method in choice/list AVO isn't working properly, or
I don't understand "sort callback function". It cannot have same
compare routine as in "lib/qsort". Currently I use my own
sorting routine.
2. I have also problem with launching external apps from my
application. It is working only if the file manager is started from
the shell. I use standard "lib/system" tool. Is there way to
start apps, if shell is not exist ?
3. "lib/copy" tool cannot copy directories... :(
Any help?
Regards...
