But but but but....we have to admit that the drawer opening speed MUST BE
IMPROVED ! I'm not too hot on the idea in the first posting, since the
thing must still muck around in multiple files. Let's get this straight:
(I know I'm right :-) ) the icons must be cached together to get decent
performance. If they're still split up the drawer opening time will still
be dismal. I really am not too concerned with the possibility that doing
the internal combination of icons might make that *part* of the guts of
my Amiga OS look *slightly* mac like. Heck, we both use icons and windows, No ?
Except we have the "advantage" of slow drawer opening.....gosh.... :-).
If there's one improvement that need to be in 1.3, that's the one !

Fear not folks, I'm gonna fix this in about 6 months when I figure it out.
I'll either fix it or write a new workbench....Big project, but big win.
Anybody doing this already (please ?...so I don't have to ?).
I'm committed (or maybe I ought to be)...
