But why can't those browser windows exist on Workbench screen ?

Because I wanted the flexibility of multiple windows, with the ease of use of a 2 pane client (arrows etc).

Having your own screen and managing the windows means I can have the best of both worlds.

Try mFTP-II and see if you still want it to work that way. From what I remember, i found it messy.

You can use OS4 AmiFTP if you need a single window FTP program. However, it doesn't have SFTP support and some other features of PFTP.

I don't get why some people are so desperate to have it all in one window anyway,

1. Due to the limited amount of graphics card memory on some sytems, OS 4.1 users can be limited to small number of screens with compositing turned on. I have to watch my graphics card memory closely on my µA1.

2. Some of us like to group our Internet applications on a single screen.

That being said, I'd focus on perfecting the program before adding features like the ability to run on any public screen etc.

I didn't mean a single window. I did mean using multiple windows on Workbench screen. Using multiple windows in a single app doesn't require a custom screen.

No, but i wanted the windows to be "managed". If you've used PFTP, you'll see what i mean. That makes it not really suitable for the WB screen.

I didn't either but my comment make it appear so. I really meant that there are valid reasons for wanting to run a program like PFTP on a named public screen (to include WorkBench it desired) instead of being limited to it's own screen. I run Jabberwocky on my AWeb public screen and it can have many windows open at the same time. I suppose that's easier to manage with MUI though.

If too many programs insist on using their own screen then graphics card memory can become a problem on a µA1 with OS 4.1 compositing turned on. I consider FTP to be a secondary Internet application and would prefer it run it on my Internet screen. My FTP needs are limited so I still have OS4 AmiFTP assigned to AWeb and IBrowse toolbar buttons so I can open it on my Internet screen. I may eventually find that I need SFTP and switch to PFTP for general use.

Ehmm.. here's a shy request for MorphOS Amiga flavour release

Don't be shy. Say it straight.
