browse for league to import

fluharty · 12-29-2003, 10:39 AM

I'd love to be able to browse for the league I want to import and click on it instead of having to key the whole path. The path is WAY to long to key and expect me (a bad typist) to get it correct, ESPECIALLY since the window does not support cut-n-paste. PLEASE put a browse button in! Expecting users to type out a fill path to the folder is just plain lazy (no offense meant, but this is the truth). Can you name a single application other than OOTP/ITP that require this? One? I can't name one, myself. Not one.

I don't mean to sound like an ass here, but this is somthing that should have been in OOTP (and thus ITP) since version 1. This makes is very difficult for for me to import from an OOTP5 league, since in my case the path is very long (c:\games\strategy\out of the park developments\itp\league.lg). I understand its lazy to always want point-n-click but that sort of this is the norm now, and typing a full path to a file or folder is not. This went out with windows 3.1 and DOS. Sorry to gripe, but I have mentioned this before, with OOTP.

I wish it was a browse thing too.

I've taken to copying leagues I want to import or whatever and copying them to a folder at the top of the hard drive, just to make it easier. Of course, I wonder if it would work to make a folder and shortcut link it to the folder down deep in the directories.
