Hi, |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Points well taken; I don't use the features you're missing and |
| 35 |
honestly I don't use most of the new ones either. :) "Open Browser |
| 36 |
Here" is the most useful one to me (it even works in Midnight |
| 37 |
Commander relative to which pane is currently active). |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
In re-reading my previous message to you in this thread I hope it |
| 40 |
didn't seem confrontational to you, or if it led people to pile on, |
| 41 |
that was not my intention at all. I was simply curious what was |
| 42 |
missing since the few features I use seemed to have gone unchanged or |
| 43 |
been improved. So my apologies in case you took it that way. Often |
| 44 |
I'll write short, direct e-mails on these lists while I'm on a phone |
| 45 |
call or doing other things and sometimes lack the forethought or |
| 46 |
communication skills necessary to convey the |
| 47 |
almost-certainly-always-good-spirited nature of my question. :) |
| 48 |

Thanks |
