------------------------------------------------------------
History:
1.19 (1.12.97)
· Fixed bugs in text movement of partly loaded text
(introduced in version 1.18).
Note that if you saved the default value of Buffer Size (0)
in TextView 1.17, you will probably still want to change it
to the new default value (-1).
1.18 (25.11.97)
· Copies GfxBase->DefaultFont instead of using it directly.
· TextView's display wasn't updated correctly when
GfxBase->DefaultFont changed.
· "Settings->Workbench Icon" is now upated when a new
settings file is loaded.
· Name of icon will always be "TextView" instead of the name
of the file that was viewed when the icon was added.
· Default font for screen titlebar and menus are now the
same as the Workbench screen font.
· Added command "Ascii Dump".
· Renamed command line option ASCII to NORMAL. ASCII now
means "Ascii Dump" will be used.
· Fixed two small bugs regarding macro keys and key repeat
events.
· When TextView detects a binary file, it will be shown in
hex or ascii mode, depending on what was used when the
settings file was saved.
· Added "Settings->Info String".
· Added MOUSEMODE and SCROLLBARMODE options.
· Changed special cases in "Buffer Size" and "Loading Size".
· "Information" only shows information about loaded files,
and nothing about the system anymore.
· Removed ability to save settings to default settings file
without using filerequester.
1.17 (25.10.97)
· Fixed two bugs regarding filerequester and public screens.
· Maximum size of buffer to allocate for a file can be set.
· Removing TextView from Commodities Exchange didn't work
well when TextView was iconified.
· Fixed use of string in macro function.
· Using other than default settings/macro file and selecting
Load/Save Settings/Macros twice crashed.
· Uses different filerequesters for settings/macros.
· Added reload function.
· Size to read from file between updates of the progress bar
can be set.
· Added two options for font usage, used when selecting
"Settings->Font->Default" and holding down the ctrl key.
1.16 (8.9.97)
· Added COLORS command-line option.
· Having the scroll gadget in the border would loose a
couple of bytes of memory.
· Fixed bug in custom text output routine, that would
write text at wrong place under certain conditions.
· Initial filerequester didn't care about PUBSCREEN option.
· Scrollbar wouldn't always be set to full size for
partially loaded files.
· Holding down a key (so it produces key repeat events)
which has a macro assigned to it would loose memory.
· Using a proportional font and selecting hex mode would go
back to default text font permanently.
· "Remove HTML Tags" handles <pre>/</pre>. Made some other
small changes. Some documents may look worse than earlier.
1.15 (15.8.97)
· Won't update scroll gadget after every mousemove when
scrolling is currently still.
· Loading routine rewritten.
Removed internal ppDecrunchBuffer(), powerpacker.library
is always required for decrunching.
Uses the progress bar when loading normal files too, not
just xpk-files.
Title bar is set to 'Loading...' only when the file is
actually being read.
Checks for user break at more places.
· The progress bar is used when crunching a file.
· Added Refresh command.
· Added "Close All", "Save All" and "Crunch & Save All".
· Searching works even when whole file isn't loaded
(forwards only).
· Macro function rewritten.
You can put in as many commands as there is available
memory for. Menus can be used in macro.
The contents of the File-, Font-, Screen Mode-, String-,
Integer- and Palette requesters can be saved in the macro.
· If you are out of memory, it's likely there isn't enough
memory to open a requester to inform about this. So now
TextView gives that information in the title bar also.
· Title bar shows name of file when loading/(de)crunching.
· Title bar shows string when searching.
· Esc key terminates TextView if only one file is open.
· Removed random palette.
· powerpacker.library/ppCrunchBuffer() (V36.10) won't always
detect buffer overflow, and then also cause a harmless
MungWall hit. Workaround added for both problems.
· Directories are ignored when loading multiple files
(before "TextView DF0:#?" only loaded files from DF0:
until the first directory was found.)
· If a drawer icon is dragged over TextView's window, the
filerequester will open and be positioned in that drawer.
· If initial file can't be loaded, the filerequester that
opens will have its directory and filename initialized to
that file instead of empty strings.
· Fixed a delay after selecting many files in filerequester.
· Initial filerequester opens on default public screen.
· Fixed file checking when a file is opened in place of an
old one.
· Proportional fonts are now supported (except in hex mode).
· Added "Settings->AppIcon", so the icon can always be on
Workbench, or never (requires that CX_POPKEY have been
initialized) or like before only when TextView is
iconified (by using the macro facility).
· Fixed handling of "cursor forward [n] character positions"
(9B [N] 43), it used to move one character too far.
· Different fontstyles should not be able to overwrite
window borders anymore.
· Added keyfile requirement for some functions.
