Hi,
I downloaded the 14437 oneClick, installed Seaside, Nautilus and Glorp and 
everything was ok.
Great !!!

However, I mentioned that in a FileBrowser, the 'Install',  File In' and 
'Changes' buttons do not appear when selecting a .cs file and it's a bit 
annoying to reload  code. (It's ok when selecting a .st file, and the same 
problem in the oneclick without any other package).
Is it normal? Should I open a new issue ?

Cheers ,
Alain
