- New Features in Version 2.8:
-
- WBStartup+ Prefs now moves programs across volumes if the enabled and disabled paths
- are located on two different volumes.
- The WAIT tooltype was accidently disabled. It now works again.
- Lots of people complained about launch.library, so the WBStartup+ for Amiga OS 3.x
- now uses the new version of WBStart.library.
- WBStartup+ Prefs now tells the user if it can not lock the enabled or disabled directories.
- This is the last version of this program that intend to compile and distribute, since I
- may not own an Amiga for much long. RIP
- Therefore the Source Code is now included.
- Included more catalog files: Español, Magyar, Russian.
-
- New Features in Version 2.7:
-
- Now uses launcher.library instead of WBStart-Handler. Local variables and paths are
- now inherited by launched applications. (Sorry it took so long.)
- Included more catalog files.
- Included WBStartupPlus.cd
-
-
- New Features in Version 2.6:
-
- When no program is highlighted in WBStartup+Prefs, and the menu item "Icon Window" is selected,
- a requester appears telling the user to select a program first. However this requester is
- NOT localized, because not all of the catalog authors gave me a translation.
- Changed all MEMF_ANY's to MEMF_PUBLIC.
- If the "Choose Group" window failed to open and set up properly, the program still would cycle
- through the list nodes and return an invalid pointer and crash. It now will return NULL.
- Increased the height of all the button gadgets by 2.
- Better calculations on the listview gadget's height and the button gadgets positions.
- I'm Working on fixing the alias/local var environment problem. The problem IS in WBStart-Handler,
- which I did not write, and the author doesn't reply to mail. I have found the bug in his
- program, but can not include my updated version due to copyright laws.
-
-
- New Features in Version 2.5:
-
- Now supports Localization. Included catalogs: Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Norsk, Svenska.
- Holding the Ctrl key down when WBStartup+ is run will cause WBStartup+Prefs to be
- run before any programs are loaded, allowing you to choose which programs get loaded.
- Holding the left Alt key when WBStartup+ is run causes the user to be asked which of the
- enabled programs should be run.
- Added PREFSPATH tooltype to WBStartup+ icon. This is the location of the preferences file.
- Program names are shown in WBStartup+'s progress window.
- If the case of the letters in the filename and icon name varied, the same program name
- would be recognized as two different programs. This is now fixed.
- Added Cancel and Ok gadgets to the Copy File window.
- The OS3.x version of WBStartup+ was getting it's bottom border of the prefs window
- overwritten by the background pattern under the right icon image, if the user was
- using sysihack.
- WBStartup+ now recognizes the WAIT= tooltype as the # of seconds to wait before loading the next program.
- WBStartup+ now recognizes the TOOLPRI= tooltype as the priority that the program should have when running.
- The DELAY= tooltype is now obsolete, therefore it has been removed.
- WBStartup+ now knows if it has already been run, and if it is run more than once, the user
- will see a requester asking if it is ok to run it again.
- The STARTUPPRI tooltype is no longer recognized, please use STARTPRI instead.
- When the WBStartup+Prefs window is opened on a virtual screen, it is centered
- vertically in the visible section, and is 100 pixels to the right of the leftmost
- visible section.
- The Amiga Workbench x.x text is now properly centered in WBStartup+'s progress window.
- The busy pointer is now shown when a secondary window is opened, such as the Priority Window.
- Sizing the main window is now impossible when a secondary window is opened since IDCMP is cut off.
- Priority Window is now activated when opened.
- You may use the keyboard up and down arrow keys to change the selected element in the listview gadget.
-
-
- New Features in Version 2.4:
-
- Was allocating one byte less than needed for groupnames when creating them from the menu.
- When resizing the window, the gadgets are remade, but glist was not initialized to NULL again.
- WBStartup+ now sets the stack size for each loaded program, although WBStart-Handler seems
- to not always use the exacts stack size specified.
- Was allocating sizeof(struct Node) instead of sizeof(struct WBStartupNode) in the OS2.x version of WBStartup+.
-
-
- New Features in Version 2.3:
-
- The WBStartup+Prefs window is now a WB AppWindow, so ou can drop icons into it
- and a requester appears asking you if you want to copy or move the files to
- the enabled or disabled directory.
- Was allocating pathname size, and deallocating filename size.
- Possible program crash removed due to another forgotten glist=NULL.
- Add "..." to some menu items.
-
-
- New Features in Version 2.2:
-
- Bug Fix: WBStartup+ sometimes crashed when the PROGRESSWINDOW tooltype was diabled.
-
-
- New Features in Version 2.1:
-
- Now uses Memory Pooling instead of AllocVec().
- Fixed potential bug in a list structure when alphabetizing.
- Received permission to include L:WBStart-Handler in this archive.
- Archive has moved to Aminet:util/boot
- Removed accidental FreePool() when "Delete Group" was done, and there were no groups.
- Enforcer Hit removed: forgot to initialize glist=NULL before CreateContext().
- Did I release V2.0 WBStartup+Prefs with a missing tail parenthesis in two path tooltypes? Sorry.
- A requester now appears when you quit without saving, and there was a group modification.
- WBStartup+ now has an optional Progress Indicator when it runs, whick can have a user defined background.
- Changed the name of drawer icon images, so they don't have parenthises in them, that way
- they can be archived with lzx. They are copyied by the installer script and given their
- proper default names with parenthises.
- Included a WBStartup+ version for OS2.x and OS3.x
- Updated installer script to recognize OS2.x and OS3.x
