Yeah, the current symbol brower is a little klunky. Several
people have noted this and wished for a simple way of browser recently
or commonly used libraries. I will take this all under consideration.
I am planning on tossing the existing browser and doing
something a little more sane. I'll also toss the existing file browser
and go back to using the stock gtk one (the new one in 2.4.x looks
promising) and as a side benefit, it'll work better in Windows.
Thanks for the feedback.
