- What Is This Thing?
-
- File Dropper is a THINK C 6.0 library that implements an application that you
- can drop files or folders onto to do batch operations on. It handles the
- getting of the AppleEvents if running under System 7, the main event loop, and
- the menus. You need only write the code that acts on the individual files.
-
- New with version 1.1b2:
- o Built "File Dropper π" in THINK C 6.0
- o The cursor is NOT reset to an arrow after each call to SetStatusPercentage.
- o If you return FALSE from the eStartup, eSFInitialize, or eAEInitialize
- messages, File Dropper will send you an eQuitting message and quit the
- application.
- o If you return FALSE from the eValidate message, File Dropper will skip any
- remaining files in the current batch.
- o If you return FALSE from an eDispose message, File Dropper will send you an
- eQuitting message and quit the application. Returning TRUE from an eDispose
- message will cause File Dropper to continue running. This behavior does NOT
- depend upon which of eSFInitialize or eAEInitialize was sent to you.
- o If you return TRUE from an eQuitting message, the File Dropper quits. On the
- other hand, if you return FALSE from an eQuitting message, File Dropper
- will quit.
- o If you want the source code to File Dropper, send me money (see the end of
- this document).
- o Added an eUserCancelled message for when the user clicks Cancel in the status
- box.
- o Added an eIdle message.
- o Added the ChangeStatusMessage function that lets you change the message in the
- status dialog on the fly, during your processing of the file.
- o Changed some things internally, so you can NOT call
- InstallCustomGetFSSpecFunc, InstallCustomFileFilterFunc, or
- InstallCustomDialogHookFunc from an eSFInitialize or eAEInitialize message
- any more, just from eStartup.
- o Fixed a bug in the ErrorAlert function so that text relating to the error as
- well as the word "Error." show up in the dialog.
- o Made it simpler to support AboutBox functionality. You just put text in STR#
- resource 129, and it will be displayed in the warp stars. To enable this
- feature, return TRUE from the eDoAboutBox message.
-
-
- New with version 1.1b1:
- o You specify if you want the status dialog displayed while you are
- working on the file. Progress bar like Finder 7's that you update by
- specifying how far you are along with a percentage (0 - 100). You
- specify if you want this, too.
