- New Users
- ~~~~~~~~~
-
- Upon start-up for the first time, new users will get a blank toolbar
- across the top of DM/2.
-
- The workaround for this bug is to place the mouse pointer over the
- blank bar and press the RMB and then select the icons you want.
-
- Subsequent invocations of DM/2 will work properly.

- INTRODUCTION
-
- Directory Manager/2 for PM v1.01m is the successor to dirman
- 2.01f. DM/2 is a sophisticated WorkPlace Shell integrated file and
- disk manager for OS/2 2_x.
-
- In response to users comments and suggestions, this latest version has
- a variety of new functions. Notable improvements include a tree view,
- implementation of right mouse button activated pop-up menus throughout,
- and extensive customization options. Because of the extensive changes
- of this version, its name has been changed from Dirman to DM/2.
-
- Among the improved features of DM/2, is the ability precisely control
- what is displayed in a file window, and how that information is
- sorted. The user can select to have a new file window opened every
- time a new directory is selected from the tree, or to have only a user
- selected number of file windows open with replacement when directories
- are changed. This will appeal to users who dislike the clutter of file
- windows that occurs when using the WPS file system
-
- All the usual disk utilities are included such a a file copy, move,
- rename, and delete (including recursive), file viewer, file attribute
- support, floppy formatting, file undelete facility, drag'n'drop of
- files and directories between windows of DM/2, and the WPS desktop,
- WPS associations, custom macros, and file printing. Font and color
- scheme support is also included.
-
- The performance of DM/2 is substantially better than FM/2. For
- example, it takes FM/2 59 seconds to read 524 files and DM2 10 seconds
- and FM/2 15 sec to read 110 files and DM/2 3 sec.
-
- Please note that the version of DM/2 uploaded is a demo version.
- DM/2 is shareware and the demo is, consequently, nagware.

- KNOWN PROBLEMS
-
-
- NETWORK DRIVES: The use of directory tree on a network drive to
- navigate will be slower than using the directories in the file
- window, this is because the directory tree displays all levels
- (searches), where-as the file window only displays the current
- level. This release has cut the number of file requests in half,
- thus there is a speed improvement.

- Problem Description (please include all details, such as Drop'n Drag, file
- names, sequence of events) Trying to copy a directory from network drive to
- harddrive. In dir window, showing network drive directories, double click on a
- sub-sub directory (H:\qpro\ugc). The ugc directory is displayed in file window.
- Press control key (to copy), then with rt mouse button drag ugc directory to the
- F: drive icon. The ugc directory was created on drive F: and filled correctly with
- the 30 files (1.2Mb), but DM2 then creates a subdirectory of ugc called ugc
- (F:\ugc\ugc) and copies the same thirty files there also. After putting all thirty
- files in this second directory it keeps asking for permission to overwrite the file(s)
- it has already copied to the wrong directory. I keep hitting cancel but the loop
- appears to be infinite. I try to kill DM2 using upper left corner, doesn't work, then
- bring up window list (OS/2s) and try to close DM2, again doesn't work, ended up
- having to ungracefully exit OS/2.

- Problem Description
-
- Attempting to delete the <UP-DIR> from the file window produces a
- long series of error boxes, as the program tries to delete every
- subdirectory of the root. On my system, it would take forever to
- answer OK to all of them. I kill the program from the WPS. A single
- error box should result from attempting this illegal operation.
