an IGC file in the file/open window, the pane on the right gives the

task details. All without opening the file.


I know this is off track but.... The information described above is
contained within the file itself and the only way to access file data is
to open it and then read it. You can't read without opening first. I
develop operating systems for a living (though not windows, God forbid)
so my concept of opening a file may be different from yours.

What Michael means is the user doesn't open the file in the usual sense,
but sees the information just by selecting the file. The "open" by
SeeYou is hidden and far quicker than the full loading of the file.

SeeYou does have a Search feature that lets you find files by pilot,
date, etc., which can be useful, but isn't quite the same as seeing the
info you want in the file listing.
