Description rptmaestro 2006-05-02 20:51:33 UTC
The new file open dialog shows some promising improvements over the old model, 
but here are some suggestions for improving it further:

- Allow the user to select multiple projects to open (as in 5.0).
- Allow the user to select multiple project dependencies.
- Allow the user to select multiple jars from within both project properties 
and library manager.

Perhaps this could be accomplished by allowing the user to specify a wildcard 
in the path field.

This is possible. (via Ctrl-Shift-O and Ctrl-click inside project open dialog)

>- Allow the user to select multiple project dependencies.
This is not possible and can be useful. I'll change this issue to enhancement

> - Allow the user to select multiple jars from within both project properties 
and library manager.
This is also possible, in the same fashion as above.
