FixKit 4
--------
Defects fixed with this release:
General:
1. Window control DLL would cause failure in SETUP.EXE program
for Hilgraeve KopyKat, or any other package that used
InstallShield 16 bit installation utility.
2. Close button would not always appear on some applications
depending on load order or closing an application while
another is loading (OD-010).
3. Fixed problems with PM Applications with 8K stack, such
as Back Again/2 Make Service Diskettes Utility (MAKESR.EXE)
and OS/2 Warp Create Utility Disks (BOOTDISK.EXE)
(OD-006,OD-008).
4. Fixed non-selectable areas in .INF files viewed in
VIEWDOC.EXE (VIEW.EXE).
5. Improved boot time on some systems.
6. Fixed conflict with Close button on MDI child windows on
Lotus 1-2-3 for OS/2 and Lotus Freelance Graphics for OS/2
(OD-007).
7. Fixed problem with OS/2 Tutorial application where
window would jump to previous position when full window
drag is enabled. Final move on button up must allow
window adjustment (WM_ADJUSTWINDOWPOS). (OD-019)
Control Center:
1. CPU meter would sometimes "stick" at 0% (it would never
start monitoring system input). (OD-CC-007)
2. Context Menus that are invoked via conditional cascade
menu (such as Open->Icon View) from an object browser
folder fly-out menu will no longer "stick" to the
desktop. (OD-CC-010)
3. Locked windows would not match partially by window
title fragment as documented (OD-CC-014,OD-CC-016).
4. Top-level windows owner by a locked window would not be
identified as a locked window.
5. Window can now be resized to be much narrower vertically.
6. CPU Meter now sleeps more often, resulting in less CPU
impact when monitoring system load. (OD-CC-022)
7. Removed small (2-3+ seconds) delay on shutdown of window
when CPU Meter was selected.
8. Object now saves section order and locked windows when
invoked via Workplace Shell save methods.
9. Fly out menus will no longer obscure the object browser
button the menu was invoked from when the Control Center
is oriented at the left half of the screen. (OD-CC-023)
10. Arranging Control Center sections when only browse
objects are present without text will now flow browse
sections properly. (OD-CC-021)
Tab LaunchPad:
1. Corrected inability to drop objects from Tab LaunchPad
onto another object within tab. Problem introduced with
object rearrange capability in FixKit #3.
2. Clicking on a task button corresponding to a fullscreen
session would no switch to fullscreen session.
3. Hint positioning on buttons near top of the screen when
in tabs on bottom or tabs on top mode will no longer
result in hint appearing slightly off-screen. (OD-TLP-001).
4. When hint is active, you may now invoke a context menu on
a button, or activate the button (clicking the button
works as expected). (OD-TLP-008)
5. Clicking on a task button on the Task tab when the button
is near the top or right edge of the screen will no longer
result in the menu appearing off-screen. (OD-TLP-018)
6. Task button icons now reflect dynamic changes to task
window icon; previously text was inspected but not icon.
(OD-TLP-019)
Task Manager:
1. Fixed problem with Task Manager showing up sporadically,
and not showing up for some programs.
Enhanced Folder:
1. Invoking a context menu via keyboard (usually set to
Shift-F10) previously would only open the folder's context
menu when folder enhancements were enabled.
2. Now supplies setup data to save query.
3. Icon replacements can now be 24bit without distorting
the small 20x20 icon or 16x16 icon.
4. When shift key is held down and a browse folder is clicked
on, then allow message to pass through (OD-013).
Enhanced Data File.
1. Icon replacements can now be 24bit without distorting
the small 20x20 icon or 16x16 icon.
2. Word wrap state is now saved (OD-EDF-003).
3. Font is now properly saved between sessions (OD-EDF-002)
Object Navigator:
1. Creating a folder with Warp Connect will no longer
cause the title of the folder to default to the title
of the replacement peer class ("LAN Server Peer Directory").
(OD-ON-009)
2. Creating a folder will now display properly in the contents
pane. (OD-ON-010)
3. An internal trap could occur if a non-disk object appeared
in the OS/2 drives folder, resulting in the tree pane
display showing blank or showing just the Object Navigator
icon.
Installation:
1. Fixed problem registering classes when '.' is absent from
the LIBPATH (fixed on Warp only; 2.11 systems must add
'.' to LIBPATH if not already present). (OD-038)
FixKit 3
--------
Defects fixed with this release:
General:
1. IBM Search Manager/2 product would not display contents of
search folder results with Object Desktop installed.
2. Performance has been improved in icon cache lookup,
resulting in better response times with HyperDrive feature
of Enhanced Folder and Object Navigator, and for displaying
icons in the Object Archives objects.
3. HyperDrive now uses proper icon for Workplace Shell data
file subclass instances with a custom default class icon.
4. Dragging non Workplace Shell objects from some applications
(such as WebExplorer) onto Object Desktop object's view
windows could cause an internal but non-fatal trap.
Affected objects are: Object Archive, Keyboard LaunchPad,
Object Navigator (Fast Path), Control Center, and Tab
LaunchPad.
5. OS/2 Warp Create Utility Disks program (BOOTDISK.EXE)
would fail before formatting floppy when Object Desktop
is installed.
6. Seamless Windows applications now display proper icon
in the Tab LaunchPad Tasks tab, the Control Center,
and the Task Manager Enhanced Window List and Alt+Tab
Task Switcher.
7. Switching to a minimized folder from the Task Manager,
the Tasks Tab of the Tab LaunchPad or from the Keyboard
LaunchPad would not cause the minimized folder to be
viewed.
Task Manager:
8. Selecting multiple items with Ctrl+ mouse selection in
Window List with Enhanced Task Manager turned on would
previously not select items completely.
9. Window List would not always appear when invoked via
Ctrl+Esc from PM application windows that did not have a
Task List item set for the top-level window.
10. Performance improvement for displaying of task list.
Object Archive:
11. Elements displayed in subcomponents (subfolders) of an
Object Archive were not always selectable.
12. If multiple object archives were open with contained
elements viewed and one archive was closed (of the same
type), objects could remain cross-hatched in the
remaining object archive views.
13. Window position was previously stored for each archive
view but not properly restored at all times.
14. Deleting an object archive while a view of the archive
was currently open would cause a condition where a
background worker thread would never shut down.
Keyboard LaunchPad:
15. The Keyboard LaunchPad window initialization code is now on
a thread to keep the user interface from hanging while
opening the definitions view.
Object Navigator:
16. A trap would occur in the Object Navigator if non-disk
objects were created/moved in the Drives object folder.
17. The Object Navigator is no longer a target object listed in
the Workplace Shell Copy/Move/Create Shadow/Create Another
dialogs. Instead, the folder currently displayed in the view
is listed in the target dialogs.
18. A slight offset of the current folder displayed in the tree
view of the Object Navigator has been corrected when system
is running in 1024x768 resolution or greater.
19. Performance improvement displaying folder contents.
Control Center:
20. The Control Center displays drives over 1 Gig now as a
fraction of the size (eg. 3.5G). (OD-CC-006)
21. Optimized repaints of virtual desktop to minimize system
cycles taken. When window activation is detected, a 1/2
second delay is used to keep from taking CPU away from
seamless windows applications that startup and use
multimedia on startup.
22. Network drives and other drive types can now be added as
sections even when they are not available.
23. Changed Control Center default priority (used during
installation) to match documentation (default=Normal).
24. Dropping multiple objects onto a browser object inside the
Control Center when in accept drop mode would cause multiple
drop events to occur. This caused multiple confirmation
dialogs to appear for dropping objects onto the shredder,
for example.
25. Dropping multiple objects onto a virtual desktop pane inside
the Control Center would not open all objects, just the
first one.
26. The Control Center is no longer a target object listed in
the Workplace Shell Copy/Move/Create Shadow/Create Another
dialogs.
Tab LaunchPad:
27. The Tab LaunchPad icons may now be rearranged using
drag/drop operations within the top-level tab as per
documentation.
28. Tab LaunchPad would previously not respect task list filter
set by Object Desktop Task Manager.
29. Tab LaunchPad could trap internally during bootup when a
large number of objects were restarted by the shell,
possibly causing a system hang.
30. At times during startup, the Tab LaunchPad would show icons
displayed 1/2 off vertically.
31. The Tab LaunchPad is no longer a target object listed in the
Workplace Shell Copy/Move/Create Shadow/Create Another
dialogs.
32. Task buttons within the Tab LaunchPad now display context
menus corresponding to which window controls are available
(ie. Move,Size,Close,etc.)
FixKit 2
--------
Defects fixed with this release:
1. Possible window deadlock could occur causing system instability
during paint thread in Control Center with some seamless windows
applications.
2. HyperCache thread priority boosted to eliminate possible boot
problems.
3. IBM Tutorial window corruption occurred.
4. Conflict resolved with other Workplace Shell products that
necessitated installing either/or products due to some features
missing with Object Desktop. Examples: Deskman/2, Workplace
Security.
5. Object Archives would show the wrong icon for contained objects
when the temporary folder (set by "SET TMP=, SET TEMP=, or the
<WP_NOWHERE> folder") for a system has an open view on the
desktop.
6. When using marquee selection (drawing a box on the background to
select objects) on an Enhanced Folder, drawing corruption would
occur on the edges of "raised" or "sunken" view styles.
7. Installation utility (not included with FixKit) has been updated
to fix selective Uninstall defect where all objects were
disabled after subsequent reboot.
8. Level of code should set to v1.01 in Help->About.
9. Tab LaunchPad object title hints will no longer move (usability
defect).
FixKit 1
--------
Defects fixed with this release:
1. Seamless Windows dialogs no longer have title bar corruption
when moved.
2. Setting default icon of a folder to point to a folder inside the
OS/2 templates folder will no longer cause the desktop to appear
as a "folder" window.
3. Control Center hangs with Windows seamless sessions have been
resolved.
4. Control Center can now monitor remove and removeable drives.
5. Control Center will not "shift" all windows from one virtual
desktop to another when switching desktops (was sporadic).
6. Contol Center would try to retrieve some windows that had
a very small size (<= 10x10), when these are really "hidden"
windows.
FixKit 0
--------
Defects fixed with this release:
1. Stack overflow (SYS3171) in OBJDWCTL.DLL has been fixed.
