I am sick of the ugly looking non-proportional text viewers. So I decided to
write my own viewer that would be font-sensitive, and blend in with all your
other nice patches, as so not to spoil the look and feel of your Workbench.
Well I was sick of non-proportional text viewers until I made horizontal
scrolling in this version. Now EvenMore doesn't support proportional fonts. But
IMHO, even though EvenMore isn't as powerful as the rest, it still looks far
nicer than the competition, and is increasing in functionality at every release.
Here are the main features of 0.53
----------------------------------
o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes opening files easy. Not only can you
drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear!
o Totally font sensitive.
o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring settings.
o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them.
o Can create it's own public screen to run on.
o ARexx port for remote control.
o Supports the numeric keypad and mouse movement.
o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
o String and pattern finding functions with search hilighting.
o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document.
o Quick load listview for opening documents fast.
o Configurable GUI for quick access to features.
o File loading uses AsyncIO for speed.
o Can open multiple files. Up to 1000 files can be stored in memory.
o Help available by pressing the help key.
o Gadget help bubbles.
o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs.
o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
o Can use Asl or ReqTools library for filerequesters.
o Option to save the file.
o Send the file to an editor.
o Print the file.
o Conifurable information bar.
o Execute commands or open a shell on the window.
o XPK compression supported.
o File history menu.
o Locale support.
o Clipboard support.
and more...
Here are the recent features
----------------------------
o Added Mark text menu to the view menu. The Line subitem will mark the first
line in the window. Selecting Line a second time will mark the last line in
the window. RAMIGA C will copy the marked text to the clipboard.
o If any text has been marked, the printer will print only this text,
otherwise the whole document will be printed.
o If there were no files loaded, the help title text would not display and the
maximum window rows and columns would not be calculated.
o Accidentally cleared 1 row and column of pixels too many on redraw when no
file is viewed in the window.
o The left border would be trashed when you scrolled past the length of a line.
o Changed preference file. ARRAYs no longer need to be converted to STRINGs
and back again.
o Hacked EasyGUI to allow me to select whether a listview should be able to
resize horizontally, to fix the problem with the preferences listview.
o Reduced executable size by 500 bytes splitting appiconpos settings, and
removing the window dimension preferences.
o Hacked EasyGUI to allow me to use keys other than letters for gadgets. Now
ENTER will Ok most windows and ESC will close them.
o Pressing F will now bring up the search window, S will bring up the screens
window, G will bring up the Go to line window and Q will bring up the
quickload list.
o Search and Go to line, etc strings now activated on window opening. Thanks
to John Nelson for the help.
o Hacked EasyGUI to find the longest string in my preference listview to work
out how wide to make it, so it will work with all fonts.
o Went back to copying WB palette as default palette. This also allows
VisualPrefs to change our titlebar colours, yay!
o Fixed bug where if EvenMore was iconified and you tried to make it load new
files by passing them on from a newly loaded EvenMore, it would forget it
was iconified, and crash.
o Removed progress window and added a new progress bar in the GUI.
o Fixed bug where if you selected no borders for the GUI, the borders would
not be cleared at all on a redraw. The width of the border edges are also now
taken into consideration during the clear, which means you won't see them
being redrawn.
o The infobar text wasn't rendered in the GUI pen settings.
o Uses ReadItem() for seperating multiple files in one string instead of my
custom procedure.
o Removed Zoom font, window positioning and text offset features, as I didn't
think they were that useful for a textviewer. Scrolling is now faster as a
result. Text offset will now be set at 3 pixels + border width.
o Thanks to Victor Gutiérrez for translating the locale and docs into Spanish.
There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs
before you delete as soon as you set your eyes on it.
All hints, tips, examples of code, etc., will be appreciated!

I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a
Christian and believe Jesus Christ will return very soon. If I do not reply to
any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
