Quick import-export smart icons

My users often need to send a "snapshot" from a view via e-mail. I created two smart icons for them - one for exporting, one for importing. They can then select a number of documents in a view, click on a the Export Icon, then open an e-mail, click in the body of the document, click on the Import icon and viola! instant text list from the selected docs in the view. Very popular - almost no code!


Export Smart Icon:

@Command([FileExport]; "Tabular Text"; "c:\temp.txt")

Import Smart Icon:

@Command([FileImport]; "ASCII Text"; "c:\temp.txt")
