Fw: [WDSCI-L] Re: Opening a member without filters

["Phil Coulthard" <coulthar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, thanks for the feedback.

How many objects are in the library which takes a minute to list the source
files in?
Are any of your files DDM files, by chance?

I'm still a bit confused as to your rationale for not being able to use
WDSC for editing
members in these files. Can't you just create a member filter, so you don't
have to list
the source files at all? I understand you want a member open capability for
quick once-only
fixes, but what about for the members you edit twice or more? Doesn't the
member
filter work here? Note the filter dialogs do remember every library, file
or member name
ever entered ... the history is in the pulldown and the last one entered is
selected. So,
in your scenario, even with the member filter you'd only have to enter the
new member
name. If you have edited it before then there is a filter and you can use
it  in a few
seconds too.  I don't mean to push back on what you want, I understand it,
I just want
to be sure you have really given filters a fair try so you are productive
while waiting
for us to add your fastpath open dialog.
