QVIEW
~~~~~
QView06 Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. You may specify a disk font for QView to use in its window.
eg.: QView filename -f siesta.font 11
^ ^ ^
| | |
font font pitch
follows name
2. Mouse scrolling is improved.
QView05 Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A bug which very occasionally caused someone else's memory
to be freed is fixed.
QView04 Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A bug prevented the window appearing on the top screen
if ClockDJ had Sun Mouse off. This is fixed.
Yet another bug prevented QView from working on anything but
KickStart 1.3. Fixed
QView03 Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The threshholds for vertical scrolling with the mouse
are determined dynamically based on the window size. This provides
better control on a large variety of window sizes.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
QView05 is an enhanced version of the text file viewer by
Lyman Epp. The following features have been added:
1. The code is pure so it can be made resident.
2. Scrolling can be accomplished with the keys (as before) or the mouse.
To scroll with the mouse, press the left mouse button, and move
the pointer to the edge of the window; scroll speed will increase
as you get closer to the window edge.
3. The window can be iconised by pressing the right mouse button
when the pointer is in the menu bar. The next right mouse button
click will expand the window to its former size and position.
4. The QView05 window will open on the top screen. You can make use of
this feature by calling QView from a macro hot-key in ClockDJ or
similar utility. A suitable sample macro for ClockDJ looks like this:
\ral\t\Run QView05 &arf2\r\c
QView would be started on hitting RightAlt and t; the file selection
is made from the Arp File Requester.
NOTE: for this to work, you need ClockDJ V4.09 or above and arp.library
in your LIBS: directory.
5. When you use the "s" key" for a search, the requester will
contain the last search string entered. To clear it, press
RightAmiga x.
Since QView05 opens windows on screens belonging to other programs,
I strongly recommend that you use "ScreenWatch" (included in this arc) to
prevent a screen closing while a QView window is open on it.
