Polish Reveal Location Functionality

Detailed Description

The first sub-item is trivial, of course (provided we can agree on the precise wording). There is a potential problem if the button would grow too wide (thus making the dialog wider).

The second sub-item would appear to be more work, and require independent Mac and Windows implementations (see below under "Issues" for discussion of the situation on Linux). I have taken a glance at the Win32 shell APIs and it seems that selecting a file in a folder is possible. The Mac will likely require a bit less effort because the Finder APIs are better/simpler. However, Mac OS X may require yet another implementation that will be rolled into this subtask.

Tasks

  1. Modify text for button. <1 day
  2. Update Windows implementation of nsILocalFile::Reveal to select the file. 2 days
  3. Likewise for the Mac implementation of that method.

    Update 2001 Oct 19: Mac functionality is already in place.

Issues

  • Currently we do not support this feature at all on Linux (see link to bug, below).
