-
- How to use FileSwitch
-
- As FileSwitch should only need to be run after a reset
- or backup I have not made it appear in the Extras Bar
- in order to reduce clutter. Instead a short file called
- 'FileSwitch' is installed on drive C: which can be run
- to start the program. You can move this to any folder
- you choose.
-
- Whilst FileSwitch is running, hold down the Ctrl key and
- press Space a number of times. On each key press the name
- of a currently open file or program will be displayed.
- When you see the one you want release the Ctrl key and
- it will be brought to the foreground.
-
- You can select programs that you wish FileSwitch to
- exclude from the list that it cycles through. This
- is useful if you have certain programs running all the
- time but never want to switch to them. e.g. by default
- FileSwitch ignores itself.
-
- To edit this 'excluded programs' list you need to select
- 'Preferences' from the FileSwitch dialog box. This box
- appears if you run the program when it is already active
- or by pressing the Enter key whilst you are cycling
- between files with the Ctrl+Space keys. (Keep the Ctrl
- key held down when pressing Enter.)

- Revision history.
-
- Version 2.00 - 30th Jan 1999
- * Added the facility to exclude programs from 'switching'
- so users can automatically skip those that they would never
- wish to switch too. e.g. Programs that run hidden like
- FileSwitch itself.
- * Made FileSwitch an 'application' and provided a shortcut
- file to run the program so it doesn't have to take up space
- on the extras bar.
-
- Version 1.04 - 13th Jan 1999
- * Made FileSwitch more recognisable as an OPL program
- so it can be launched by some third party software
- that was having problems.
-
- Version 1.03 - 19th August 1998
- * Reduced the memory used when program is running.
- * Replaced initial dialogue box with a two second
- message so that people who use programs to re-launch
- FileSwitch after backups can do so without any user
- input.
-
- Version 1.02 - 11th June 1998
- * Made FileSwitch more responsive and it now acts
- almost instantly when Ctrl-Space is pressed.
-
- Version 1.01 - 4th June 1998
- * Changed the order of file switching to make it easier
- to toggle between a pair of open files.
- * Fixed a bug that on rare occasions caused the Psion
- to lock up and wait for the Ctrl key to be pressed.
-
- Version 1.00 - 2nd June 1998
- * Initial release.
