Workbench 2.1 questions

[Noster]

Hi

> Oh, one more question, is there a way to make it always "show all files" instead of having to choose it in the menu all the time?

After you have selected "Show >> all files" in the menu, select "Snapshot >> Window" in the same menu...

No, of cause it only affects the currently active window, but why do you want to corrupt the great Icon-system of the Amiga Workbench ?
I think it makes sence that only the files are visible that can be "executed" by doubleclicking with the mouse. If I need to access all the invisible files of a directory, I don't use the Workbench. There are much better ways like DirOpus (like the Windoof-Explorer, only much better ;-)). The version 4.12 is like a Norton-commander (but also better) and for free. And there is a fantastic shell implemented in AmigaOS that could be used, not such an ugly DOSShell as in Windoof.
