I mostly use the filebrowser to delete old versions of files. After I''ve deleted them, I want to expunge them, but I don''t want to wait around for it to re-enumerate and display the directory.'
'
What I''d like to see instead is a menu that pops up when you try to close the browser, like when you close a Lafite browser': you can tell it to expunge and close, or just close (forgetting what you marked as deleted.) When you shrink it, you should get a similar menu (plus a reasonable icon, please).'
