 When specifying a local file, user sometimes end up using the wrong type of path, (on Windows) the wrong type of slash, or (in file URL) spaces instead of %20. At least in the motif case, this causes a silent failure.
+The ideal solution we should aim for is to show all items as local paths in the prefs window, and provide appropriate browse dialogs. Internal storage is less important, but we might want to look at the ''persistentDescriptor'' thingy, although it probably sucks. --[[User:JamesRoss|JamesRoss]] 07:24, 11 May 2006 (PDT)
