Hello All,
Shouldn't selectDirectory() function be listed in the Dialogs section of the docs ie. "Index.htm".

No. It currently appears in the category File Operations because that is its main area of operation, along with
- copyFile
- createDirectory
- deleteFile
- getCurrentDirectory
- getFileInfo
- getFullPathName
- getTempFile
- getTempPath
- moveFile
- setCurrentDirectory
- setFileAttr
- setSearchPaths
- w32FileOpen
- w32FindFile
The fact that it brings up a dialog box is incidental to its purpose.
I do see your point though; there are other entires listed under Dialogs. I think that those need to be relocated to better functional areas.
However, why have you asked the question? Was it difficult to locate in the docs? Do we need a better index or search facility? Maybe we need to allow multiple categories per documentation item...?

Well getOpenFileName() is in the dialogs.
And selectDirectory() is about the same thing.
I spent a lot of time looking for it and finally found it. I knew
it was there as I had used it before but couldn't find it.
I think they both should be in Dialogs and File Operations. Or at
least getOpenFileName()
and selectDirectory() should both be in the same place be it
Dialogs or File Operations.

What index? I didn't see one at all. And search not yet implemented, right?

I use index.htm. You should have received such a file with the distribution.

That's right.

OOPS! My bad, I was only speaking about the "Manual" as presented on the OpenEuphoria forum site; there's no "index" in IT.

It'll have an index before the final comes out. It's just a matter of getting it done amongst the many other things that need to be done. Sorry it's taking so long.

What I don't understand is why selectDirectory() and getOpenFileName() are not both in the same place. They both do the same thing, one selects a Directory and one selects a File.
It is a mistake that I'll correct soon. It is not a drop-everything-and-fix-it-yesterday type of issue, IMO.
I propose to have them appear in multiple categories, but in the meantime, it takes only a few seconds to scan the index.

No worries, Jeremy, I think most of us realize what an enormous job it is the 4.0 devs are doing!
