ASL file requester: create new dir behaviour

[trixie]

I've reported this a couple of times, and about the same number of times I was promised it will be fixed in the upcoming release. It never happened, sadly, so I'm taking my chance again.

When creating a new directory from the ASL file requester, the default directory name is "Rename_me", which is quite appropriate - it is meant to be renamed. Therefore, it would make good sense to automatically highlight the default name so that it can be easily deleted and renamed. Please please!

Not sure what you want to see. However, when I "Open" from say Notepad and get an ASL requester, I can then click "New drawer" and I get a requester with "Rename_me" (highlighted) in the string gadget. [I tried to show you a screen grab but I can't get it to work]

Is that the behaviour that you want? Because that's what happens already with the current beta system.

Certainly doesn't work here with Update 4 but YES, this is exactly the behaviour I want! Thanks for the heads-up.

That is the behavior I also have with update 4

It works properly with asl.library 53.46


Releasenotes:

asl.library 53.46 (28.7.2011)
- When trying to create a new directory, the string requester now opens with
the "Rename_Me" text already highlighted. This saves the user having to
manually delete or mark the text before entering the new name.

Ah, that explains it - Update 4 only has version 53.45. Thank you.
