Version.dopus5 v1.3 (21.5.97)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version.dopus5 is a small, handy module for Directory Opus v5.5+.
It adds a handy 'version' function, searching for and displaying a
file's version number/information. Once installed this new command
will appear in the pop-up command lists in DOpus editors.
Version information is shown in a small requester attached to the
source lister.
As of version 1.3 all selected files will be viewed one after
another. There is no need to select the 'do all files' flag. The
module will automatically find selected files.
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Directory Opus v5.5
ARexx
An Amiga - if you can find one these days. :)
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copy the script to DOpus5:modules/
Directory Opus will then recognise the new command and you will be
able to select 'Version' as the internal command for any button or
menu.
Usage
~~~~~
Once the script has been installed, select a file, or files, in a
source lister and activate the button or menu item which contains
'Version'.
History
~~~~~~~
Version.dopus5 started life as an ARexx script for Directory Opus
v4.12 Since upgrading to v5.5, I found the need for such a utility,
and writing it proved to be an excellent way to gain some familiarity
with manipulating the new DOpus5 listers from within ARexx. Still
proving itself to be an excellent test program, as of v1.2
Version.dopus5 has grown to become a module for DOpus instead of just
an ARexx script.
v1.0 - First release.
v1.1 - Requester now shows the selected filename as well.
Not all version strings contain the filename and
can lead to confusion.
v1.2 - Now a DOpus module - internal command for DOpus.
v1.3 - The module now works on ALL selected files.
Thanks to Roy E Brown for the suggestion.
