A Windows Explorer in a User Control
Idea: Functionality of windows explorer wrapped up as a control. User can
browse through all the folders in the computer including network folders and
select the path.
The Long story, while working on a photo editing software i frequently needed
to test different images from different folders. i have to call an open dialog
then browse for the folder and then select the file. 4 clicks well not too much
but if you have to test 10 images in the same folder same process have to be
repeated for all of them, more if you have 10 images in different folders well
10 X 4 clicks, i call it Multiple Mouse Clicks For Single Operation (MMCFSO).
Explains why the whole software world relates reducing MMCFSO with the ease of
use.
MMCFSO is not just needed for a imaging application. Where ever you have to
select multiple files from multiple destinations you need this. So i think an
effort to create a windows explorer user control is worth it.
