I sent a note to Double Click regarding the problem, and Mike Vederman replied that he was aware of the problem, and had fixed it in a more recent version of DC SHOWIT. In the meantime I've been using the original version without problems (except of course that the WP file selector only list directories; I've been using the GEM file selector option in WP). Mike, could you please post the fixed version? I really like DC SHOWIT (great piece of work!!), but I want my WP file selector back! (While you're at it, maybe you could patch SHOWIT so that it properly displays text files with newline separators, rather than just CR/LF pairs?)
