Two different functions with the same image - "\"
Posted: 2006-12-13, 16:01 UTC
Very minor issue but nevertheless... A couple of times a year I automatically press the wrong button 
The button for going to the root dir of the drive (on the right side of each file panel) and the button for going into Network Neighborhood (on the drive button bar and in the drive combobox (drop-down list)) are both having the similar icon "\". How about changing some of them? Maybe change Network Neighborhood's icon to "\\" since it's usual start of UNC path?
And related question/request: file system plugins have three slashes in the path (\\\SomePluginName), so wouldn't it be more convenient to create separate entry in the drive combo for them (I know it was already reported)?
So with these changes drive combo could look like this:
[- A -] 3 1/2''
[- C -] Some Trash
[- D -] Some Crap
[- E -] CD Drive
[- E -] DVD Drive
[- \\ -] Network Neighborhood
[- \\\ -] File System Plugins
There is an issue with this solution: if user presses "\" key, where should he get - to Network Neighborhood or to File System Plugins? But I think it can be solved by some configuration and go to Network by default.
