Changing the way that drawers open

is it possible to change the way that drawers open as I've gotten so used to being able to tell windows to open all in the one window.

I hate window clutter so much SO I was wondering if anyone knows aof a way of getting Amiga OS4 to open a drawer in the current window.

thanks

Wait for DOpus Magellan to get ported. Use AmiDock more. Open programs on their own screens.

@aldur

It's not going to help right now, but Workbench is scheduled for a complete rewrite to be released in some future OS4 update.

You could also have a look at Scalos. I'm not sure if they have a fully OS4 native version yet or not, but I'm pretty sure it has the feature you're looking for. I agree that opening a new window every time creates unnecessary clutter.

It's not exactly what you are looking for, but this might help: if you keep RAMIGA pressed while opening a drawer, the parent drawer window will get closed.

I'll have to remember that one.

and pressing ramiga when closing a window: closes all windows in 1 time ..

and there's some arexx scripts on os4depot that help a bit with windows management:
