Here was a lot of input. It seems that we agree on a option to show hidden files. Do not show these files by default. I have always wanted a clean gui, so I'm thinking of putting a checkbox - 'show hidden files' in the preferences dialog. I know that this is far from the browser, but I haven't got any better idea at this moment. Please give feedback of your thoughts.

Good to see you back here. I was afraid you had found better places to waste your time. Now that the great symlink war is over, lets go on.
At the time of your major rewrite for symlink handling (you were obviously busy plus subtantial changes were happening) I had modified tao audio burning to burn direct from the audiofile(s) ... piping the file player output to cdrecord...each track was a separate unfixed track write with a final -fix only track which I have been using for a while to make quite happy audio cds....this eliminates the move and convert delay.
For now, I think we have to stick with the original solution. Encoding first, and then use either cdrecord or cdrdao (for CD-text). I'm not sure how your piping would work on a low powered system. Have you tested it ?
Oh on a minor point does 'nice' work in puppy 3 as there is only 'renice' in older puppies?
If renice does the job, we could change. What about Puppy 4. I'll make a notice in mo todo-list.
I did wonder a while ago if cdrdao could replace cdrecord entirely...or am I being too simplistic?
The reason we use cdrtools is that many apps in Puppy use it. As long as it is Puppy builtin, Pburn should try to use this.
also in terms of disk space are these binaries from cdrtools actually used in puppy..I deleted them and everything still seems to work and thet represents a 1Mb uncompressed saving...plenty of room for cdrdao.
Or could some of them be useful to pburn?
I see isoinfo / isovfy. The word verify comes up, and I ask myself. Isn't this man the Pburn-verify-boss. Hello, Don't ask me

Bug: I get a gtkdialog error if there are files in the burn list and I try to open the preferences dialogue from the menu.
What does it say?
It would be nice if we could more freely resize the windows of your programs zigbert - particularly picker and pburn. It can be quite annoying not really being able to shrink windows.
I agree, it would be nice. I have just made the best solution I could manage. Pprocess and Pfind is built with a single <tree> on one side of the window. Like this you don't need to specify any alignment for the tree, and it will scale nice. Maybe there is a solution I don't know about. If so, please let me know. It's a challenge.

A mechanism for entering a path might be nice too.
What do you mean by this. You can manually enter a path in the <entry> on top of the browser and press the 'Go' button.
Thanks for input
