Description Torbjorn Norbye 2001-12-03 16:28:08 UTC 
The NetBeans menu in XEmacs has a "Mount File" item.
That's misleading - you can't mount -files- in NetBeans,
only filesystems (e.g. directories, sets of files).

I think this should be renamed to something like
"Mount File's Directory" (that -is- what it does, right?)
It should probably also have the side effect of selecting
the file in the explorer within the newly mounted file
system.
Comment 1 Melih Ovadya 2001-12-03 21:33:05 UTC 
Fixed the name. Will look into the required side effect.
Comment 2 Melih Ovadya 2001-12-04 00:02:36 UTC 
The selected file in the newly mounted filesystem should be 
highlighted. If the filesystem was already mounted before, it should 
still highlight the filename.
Comment 3 Melih Ovadya 2002-02-12 23:50:09 UTC 
Follow ISSUE #20486 about how to select the file in Explorer
Comment 4 David Weatherford 2002-04-05 23:32:37 UTC 
With the help of David Konecny's hack (see issue 6559, attachment 
ShowInExplorer.jar), we can now get the Explorer to open to the file
and select it.
