You're thinking of the 2.0 ASL requester maybe? The 3.0 one seems fast.
But mostly I like the direct drag/drop of icons for directories or
files, and the fact that its the only file requester I've ever seen that
has any sort of filename completion. And then there are all the minor
little things, such as being able to resize it to see more file names
(which the LW one doesn't do), and have it show timestamps, etc. Oh,
and being able to set its initial location and size on the screen. I'll
stop now lest I sound like some raving lunatic for the ASL requester :-)

I like it! I agree that would be the ideal solution. In fact, I
wouldn't mind having a whole bunch of ARexx hooks - for example, a hook
that ran before each image map frame was loaded, and one that ran before
rendering each frame, and one after. I'm sure we could think of more,
too. Maybe an "end-of-render" hook that ran after all the frames were
done.
Allen? Waddayasay? Can't be too hard just to invoke a user defined
ARexx string after each frame renders, passing it the frame file name.
This hook could do all sorts of wonderful things - image postprocessing,
or even just shoving frames off to tape without having to have a
"look-for-frame" daemon running in the background.
