I have been meditating on this for a while, and I think I
know what bugs
me about the change. It's that the 'new' behaviour is to
*always* browse
a different directory, even when I don't want it to.
How about amending the works so that it does this browse
thang only when
the selector bar rests on a directory? Surely I'm not the
only one
wanting to work with two files in the same directory and
finding tabbing
quicker than paging and scrolling back and forth?
