- ChooserHack

- The Chooser sucks (Duh!). So I rewrote it. A folder is created on the desktop
- called “The Network”. In it is a folder for every zone on the network. In
- each zone folder is a folder for each AFP file server. In each server folder
- is an alias to each volume.
-
- To reduce network traffic, server folders and volume alias are not created until
- the user explicitly forces it. If the user opens a zone/server folder by double
- clicking or Cmd-0, then ChooserHack looks on the network and updates the folder
- contents. In list view, if the user clicks on the triangle-thingy to show the
- contents of the folder, ChooserHack does NOT sync to the network.
-
- To reduce disk usage, volume alias are not filled. They only take up catalog space.
- When a user double clicks or Cmd-O an empty alias, it is filled in with a real
- alias.
