If you were a user of prior versions of Torquemada, your main concern
is likely to be: What has changed?
Mainly this:
ADDED WITH TORQUEMADA 1.2.X:
The user inteface has been overhauled in a major way. See the section
headed "User interface notes..." in the Torquemanual.
Five of the untyped wildcards have gone away to make space for five
new wildthings. If you have sets that use ^5 through ^9, you will
need to revise them. The new wildthings are described under the
headings "TYPED WILDCARDS", "THE DO-IT-YOURSELF WILDCARD", and "THE
WILDSTRING MODIFIER".
And: The case conversion commands have been made smarter.
ADDED WITH TORQUEMADA 1.3.0:
Torquemada the Inquisitor 1.3.0 exists to serve two goals. Primarily,
it brings Torquemada the Inquisitor into conformity with the changes
introduced in Torquemada's Ghost. Those two pieces of software use the
same source code for their action routines, so many changes consisted
of revising the user interface to accomodate changes in the core
logic. And secondarily, there are some user interface enhancements and
bug fixes that don't relate specifically to Torquemada's Ghost. The
changes are these:
1. Fixed a bug that prevented {option-h}/{option-k} from aliasing
properly.
2. In the Pyre of Purification, Shift-Tab now moves you back one
field, much as Tab moves you forward.
3. When opening a set the cursor will be in the first field.
4. A set file can contain an infinite number of stings.
5. The Pyre of Purification will still only edit files consisting of
20 search and replace strings. If you attempt to edit a set containing
more than 20 pairs of strings, you will get an ALRT inviting you to
Cancel! or Truncate the set.
6. Tab(s) can be used as the delimiter between strings. Open the set
file called "A Legal Set File" from a text editor or word processor to
see how this looks in real life. Torquemada continues to Save sets
using CR as the delimiter. Be careful Pasting into WP docs; TQM
filters tabs and returns before he saves, but you'll need to do this
manually after you Paste.
7. Torquemada now allows up to 256 files per batch. The maximum number
of set files remains 32, but since search strings can now come in
infinite quantities, it doesn't seem like a problem.
8. The Movado Museum Watch cursor is now somewhat better behaved.
9. You can now abort a batch of files with Command-Period. This will
only happen between files, not between sets or between searches.
TORQUEMADA'S GHOST
New with version 1.3.0 is a piece of software called Torquemada's
Ghost. The Ghost is a scriptable Torquemada. While it can be used
interactively by Drag & Drop, its primary purpose is to allow
AppleEvent scripters to access Torquemada from their AppleScript or
Frontier scripts. Frontier scripter Eugene Barnes has lent us his
expertise by writing Frontier glue scripts for Torquemada's Ghost.
These scripts and their documentation can be found in the folder
"Torquemada’s Ghost Glue ƒ". The functions of Torquemada's Ghost are
described in the Torquemanual under the heading "TORQUEMADA'S GHOST".
The full Torquemanual is stored in the "Torquemada Explained" folder.
