This diskette contains corrective service for FileStar/2 Version
2.0. To install the corrective service, follow the procedure
described on page 4 of the FileStar/2 Technical Reference manual.
Corrective Service files are cumulative. The latest CSD file
contains fixes found in all previous CSD files. This is the
first CSD for FileStar/2, version 2.00. All version 2.00 users
should apply this CSD.
If while attempting to apply this CSD you encounter the error
message pop-up with the title which reads "Base Level Invalid", it
means that the version information stored in the INI files could
not be found. This information was placed there during the
installation of the base product, but is no longer there. You
must reinstall the base product and then apply this CSD.
*************************** V2.00.1 *****************************
The baseline version 2 product was 2.00.1.
*************************** V2.00.2 *****************************
The items fixed in Version 2.00.2 are:
1. OS/2 version 2.1x would either fail to load or ran very slowly
after start.
2. Object Desktop would grab the focus on start up and after
completion of most functions. This was noted in Warp for Windows
only with Object Desktop v1.5 and with all versions of Warp
with Object Desktop v1.0-1.4.
3. The Object Desktop rollup feature would cause internal window
mis-sizing when unrolled.
4. The Copy Error dialog 'Skip' pushbutton would not skip the
current file but instead recalled the dialog for the same file
error in drag Copy or Move operations.
5. If the program was minimized or maximized and then restored in
the custom wimdow style, the recessive File window would blank
on activation.
6. On startup, the Drive and/or Directory windows would not match
the active File Window in some instances.
7. The User Defined Associations File Filters required a semicolon
delimiter to work and would crash the program if a comma was used
as a delimiter. It was easy to mistake the example on the
dialog as commas instead of the required semicolons. The program
will now accept either semicolons or commas delimiters and also
trailing semicolons.
8. Detailed shading of the text windows in the Data Panel was
compromised to accomodate a bug in OS/2 FixPak 17 in v2.00.1.
This bug has been fixed in FixPak 22. The code has been restored
to correctly draw the shaded windows. If you are using FP17, you
will see the top of each window unshaded, distorting what was
intended. Apply FP22 to restore correct shading.
9. The startup code has been revised to decrease the time required
to display the main window and to fix an access violation when
starting as a swap window from the startup folder.
10. There were some instances where proper internal window sizing
was affected by combinations of windowing controls, such as
minimizing or maximizing from a swap window with an internal
window maximized, or changes in menu fonts or in what mode the
program was started. The possible combinations are numerous. All
improper moding that has been noted is corrected.
11. User defined file associations were not being recognized
when double clicked on inside a zip file when viewed with ZipView.
12. Grayed the move and delete functions when a CDROM is
the active device.
13. Fixed am access violation when using File Find and double
clicking to go to a directory in the found list box.
14. The parent directory pushbuttons were not functioning correctly
when Multiple Trees was in use.
15. The mini-icon setting was not restored after a directory
compare operation and any action after initialization would
restore normal icons if shutdown was made after setting mini-
icons.
16. Some users were expecting the Drive Used/Free buttons to
toggle the Drive Used/Free and Total Used/Free sums. Any
operation after the display of the Total Used/Free will revert
the display to Drive Used/Free. Either button now toggles the
sum data.
17. Selecting File Compare in the Directory Compare display did not
function.
18. There was a keystroke conflict on the use of the '*' as a
wildcard character in some entry fields and the Shift '*' used
to Load Subjects. The latter has been changed to Alt Shift '*'
and the Directories menus have been changed to show the new
required keystrokes to Load Subjects.
19. The hot keys for resetting the internal window ring were
changed from Shift 'W' to Alt Shift 'W' to eliminate the
possiblity of unintentionally resetting the windows while
entering text in entry fields.
20. The hot keys for activating the Window Options menu were
changed from Shift '?' to Ctrl Shift '?' to allow use of the '?'
character in the multiple file rename entry field.
21. Selecting a DateTime or Attributes change dialog and then
canceling would crash the program if Rename was subsequently
selected with no other actions performed.
22. The Print function would not work when configured to run an
external program on the External Programs page of the Setup
notebook. It will now function with an External Program of
your choice or you may enter 'PRINT.COM' as the external print
program to cause it to bypass the internal print function and
print directly to the configured printer port. If the 'Print'
External Program entry is left blank, the internal print
interface is used. This is the 'Default' action when selecting
'Print' from the file menus.
Additionally, hot keys and menu options have been assigned to
allow printing directly to the spooler (Ctrl P) through the OS/2
file 'PRINT. COM' or to use the internal Print Option dialogs
(Ctrl Alt P), regardless of the presence of a user defined print
program.
23. File List printing did not work.
24. A SYS3175 access violation, when selecting a
different printer form in the Print Setup dialog, was fixed.
25. An additional command line switch, /a, is available to
cause external sessions started with either the Execute dialog or
the Toolbar Launch Execute Program to autoclose on completion.
Just add this switch to the Execute entry field or the Execute
Program command Parameters field in the toolbar item setup
notebook.
26. The message window was wiping out some messages before the
set persistence time. The moding of the window was improved.
27. Renaming of multiple files was adversely affected bu items
18, 19, and 20.
28. The loading of longname EAs was moded differently to
eliminate the associated performance penalty on FAT drives. This
was very noticeable on floppies and Zip drives. The change
results in a drive rescan to get the longname EAs if either drive
in a Directory Compare function is a FAT drive and loading of
longname Eas is not enabled.
29. Some hot key use was not properly resetting the Alt key
such that double clicking on a drive or directory after their use
would result in the Alt Enter (double click) command and open the
WPS drive or folder objects.
30. Several other cosmetic and lesser operating anomalies were
coorected. Further fine tuning for improved speed and interface
consistency has been made.
**************************
Operating System Anomalies
**************************
1. Warp users without at least FixPak 10 applied will
sometimes experience video corruption after a drag operation,
especially while dragging the toolbar items. There is no cure
other than applying FixPak 10 or later. After it occurs, it is
persistent until the application is shutdown and resarted.
2. Users with FixPak 17 appiled will have the shading at the
top of static text windows overwritten by the window. This will
be most apparent in the windows in the Data Panel at the bottom
of the FileStar/2 display. FixPak 22 corrects this problem.
*****************
New Toolbar Items
*****************
Added five additional builtin toolbar items to make it easier to
implement the following capabilities;
1. Directory rescan.
2. Anti-Virus submenu.
3. Anti-Virus drive scan.
4. Anti-Virus directory scan.
5. Anti-Virus file scan.
To use the anti-virus items, Alt drag and drop the drive,
directory and file AV toolbar items on the AV submenu. Then edit
each item by right clicking on it and selecting Edit Item from
the context menu. The Execute Program must be set in the
Function field and the following examples show the command lines
to enter in the Parameters field if using IBMAV. Consult your
documentation for the command line parameters for other
anti-virus products.
Command line parameters for IBMAV;
AV file scan; X:\PATH\IBMAVSP.EXE -LOG -SCOMP %F
AV dir scan; X:\PATH\IBMAVSP.EXE -LOG %D
AV drive scan; X:\PATH\IBMAVSP.EXE -LOG %V
Selection of the appropriate toolbar item will result in an AV
scan on the selected file, directory or drive.
