First step would be to separate (tabs? foldable list?) brush/pal/pic scripts. I
don't think going for a full-featured browse list is the good way.
Another solution would be to recognize .lua as a regular file format in the
save/load box for more scripts, and the factory would serve only for favourite
ones (with assigned keyb shortcuts). But that's not so nice UI design...

Is it possible to just add dirctory-navigation inside "scripts" without
changing the Brush-factory window too much?
It's also tricky to categorize scripts as they can do a combination of pretty
much anything... I implemented my namning/categorization standard (by what the
script affects) as an attempt to give some guidance/warning. But some scripts
are tricky to categorize, ex: I have script that finds AA-colors of the fg/bg
colors, but it renders the result as a brush. But one wouldn't look for such a
functionallity under "Brush". Some scripts may be serious tools, others just
crazy fun. Just something to think about...
This is what I've used so far: (in the naming-standard: function_author_name.lua
Functions:
bru - script changes the brush
pal - script changes the palette
pic - script changes the picture (maybe img is better?)
scn - "scene", script changes more than one thing (anything might change)
inf - "info", script changes nothing, it just displays some info.
Still, just using something like this to divide the scripts in the
Brush-factory probably isn't enough...what do you do when/if there is 200
scripts of each.
With dirs; featured scripts could sit in the root, categorized scripts goes
into "BRUSH","PICTURE","TOOL" etc. and productive authors could have most of
their scripts in dedicated drawers. But then someone has to decide where things
go and why... well, more to think about I guess...
I just know that directory-navigation would make life easier for me and my
scripts ;)

One thing that should help when you have lots of scripts: Like in file
selector, type the first letters of a script to jump to the first matching file.
But it would work much better if the files don't have any prefixes...

We now have a directory browser, so we can close this one ?

Well, you can see the subdirs but you still can't enter them, right?

You can enter them, by clicking the OK button or pressing Enter. But you can't
double-click (or even 'click twice' like the file selector), which is very
counter-intuitive.
My listbox control was designed for selection, not activation, so it's really
not easy to add.
