[Cuis-dev] FileList preference

[Mariano Montone]

The FileList tool is very slow in my machine. I would like to redesign 
it so that instead of using a tree panel on the left, use a flat list 
with the current directory files.

I've started coding such a tool a couple of times, but haven't put the 
the work to finish it , yet ...
