PopMan 1.1 beta:
31/07/95 Expiry Date Version (PM310795.ZIP):
BUG FIXES:
1) Removed "Illegal function call" if no hotkey specified.
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
15/07/95 Expiry Date Version (PM150795.ZIP):
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
1) Feature: Ability to launch from an icon
2) Feature: Ability to right-, left- or center-align menu
around cursor, or to assign it a particular xy location
on the desktop (in pixel units)
3) If no launching method is indicated within the INI file,
setup will automatically be invoked (rather than the old
default of launching with both L & R mouse buttons), and
a user must select one of the launching methods.
4) If PopMan is the shell, the "Exit PopMan" option is
removed from the popup menu, since it is equivalent to
"Exit Windows", which is still accessible.
5) "Reload Progman Groups" button in menu editor is not
present unless ProgMan is the current shell.
BUG FIXES:
1) Group-item scrambling when reloading ProgMan
groups fixed (I thought I had that fixed _before_, but it
should be now!)
2) When editing menus, selecting the menu currently being
edited caused the changes to be lost, reverting to the last saved
menu, without asking to save modifications. Now fixed; when
selecting the group already being edited, nothing happens.
3) CTRL-key combination not working properly
4) Confirmation of saving "Edit Menu"(which is not
a menu at all, but the initial title of the menu editor)
removed.
5) When adding to "Group" menus (i.e., the ones that are
individual groups generated from ProgMan groups, the "Add" button
was disabled when the number of items in the Group equalled or
exceeded 16 items. Now, there is (theoretically, at least) no
limit on the number of items in each group (Note: The "Utilities",
"Quick Menu" and actual _number_of_groups_ is still limited to 16).
I haven't tried to test the limits of this feature, so I don't know
how many submenus can be created before you run out of memory/the
program crashes/something else bad happens. You may want to try
and find out, but you do so at your own risk. I have not put any
explicit error or warning messages about the number of items in a
group (i.e., the submenu for a particular group), but VB may
present you with one, either before or after you reach the limit.
6) "Out of Memory" error should not be encountered under the
wallpaper changer.
7) "Please move or copy bitmap to Windows directory" error message
eliminated.
15/06/95 Expiry Date Version (PM150695.ZIP):
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
1) Added "History List" (under "Run -- History" submenu) of
previously used command lines; "Run..." option from
previous versions now identical to "Run -- Browse" in
current version.
2) Allowed editing of the "Group" submenu, rather than
requiring the "Reload ProgMan Groups" button be used
to create Group submenus.
3) Automatic sorting of menu items added.
4) Added hotkey and middle mouse button invocation options
5) Added ability to access PopMan menu items with right
mouse button
6) Moved "Configure" menu down on the PopMan list.
7) Added ability to rapidly invoke the PopMan menu by
disabling "'Safe' launch option".
8) Added option of having PopMan menu centered rather than
aligning its left edge with mouse cursor position
BUG FIXES:
1) Browse ("Run Program") dialog now allows for file masking
by typing in a particular file mask, rather than having to
choose from the drop-down list. This also applies to the
"Modify Menu Item" and "Add Menu Item" dialogs, which are
derivatives of the same dialog box. Also, labelled "Command
Line" text box in those dialogs.
2) Some work done to reduce the memory "footprint" of PopMan,
but features have also been added, so there is a net increase.
3) Probably some other things that I can't think of at the
moment.
15/05/95 Expiry Date Version (Popmn11b.zip):
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
1) Added capability to load program manager groups into
PopMan's menu, and to edit those groups for use under PopMan
(this editing does not affect Program manager groups).
2) Now the term "PopMan Menu" generically refers to any of the
following menus:
a) "Quick": The menu that sits atop the popup menu and
is the most easily accessible -- formerly called THE
"PopMan Menu".
b) "Utilities": The menu that sits above the "Run..."
menu item.
c) "Group": Those that are originally obtained by using
the Program Manager groups.
3) "Configure -- PopMan Menu" changed to "Configure -- PopMan Menus..."
and ability to configure "Quick", "Utilities" or "Group" menus added
(i.e., no longer limited to just editing the "Quick" menu (formerly
called THE "PopMan Menu" -- see above).
4) Dropped non-configurable "Utilities" menu items in favour of
totally configurable "Utilities" menu.
5) Removed Control Panel and Windows Setup from "Configure" menu
(you can add utilities/applets such as these to the "Utilities"
menu, or to either of the other menus).
6) Added "task list" feature to invoke currently specified
task manager.
BUG FIXES:
1) Fixed problem with "finding" help file after directory
has changed.
2) Fixed problem with file extension associations when launching
programs -- in particular, when an extension was not exactly three
characters long for a particular association.
3) Fixed situtation in which an invalid drive is selected. PopMan
should no longer return an error message an exit, but instead revert
to the last valid drive displayed.
