Subject: Select folder when E)xporting - feature requested.

Hi, folks!

Pine 3.92 (and 3.93 of course) has nice feature - I can now select file to
export message into using simple full-screen interface.

The problem is, if I want to export message into *new* file. It is not
possible to select just a directory and then tip in the new file name.

As I have normally Pine running in separate window, changing to this
directoty is not an alternative.

So the feature: extend E)xport to provide for directory select. Probably
Pine3.94 ;-) ?

thanks in advance

Andrej:

Perhaps I have misunderstood your question, but maybe this will help:

Even though the bar which pops up when you try to Export says "Export to
file in home directory", it really seems to mean "relative to home
directory" - you could export for a subdirectory "sub" under your home
directory, by simply entering " sub/filename.here " as the filename; also,
you can enter a complete path there, like " /var/tmp/misc/filename "

The only limitation seems to be whether you and your shell have permission
to write in the target directory. 

Cheers,

Don Miller
