Hmmm, my FileViewer used the bog-standard NSBrowser API and worked
perfectly (i.e. like the OpenStep FileViewer) when run on OpenStep.
And MacOS X for that matter; a small tweak and it compiles - and looks a
lot better than Apple's Carbon 'Finder' effort!
Remember that the horiz. scroller above the NSBrowser is associated
with the 'icon path' above it, not the NSBrower below it - the
horizontal scrolling of the NSBrowser is synchronised with the icon
path, not the other way round.
The NSBrowser is standard, you just need to switch off the horizontal
scroller and column titles, and synchronize the icon path (a matrix
of cells in a scroll view) with it.
If you switch to list or icon views this becomes much more apparent.
It would be a shame to split the development/debugging effort for the
NSBrowser - but I can't knock the speed at which you produce new
GWorkspace release, as opposed to the glacial pace for FileViewer!
Hope this helps,
Tim
