MasterBrowse 4.5:
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now has even more powerful windowed dialog box
editing capabilities. The following keys can be used inside
a windowed dialog box:
UNDO = Exit (Cancel)
Return = Exit (Done)
TAB = Next Editable Field
Control + TAB = Previous Editable Field
Shift + Left Arrow = Start Of Editable Field
Shift + Right Arrow = End Of Editable Field
Shift + Up Arrow = First Editable Field
Shift + Down Arrow = Last Editable Field
Control + Left Arrow = Start Of Previous Word
Control + Right Arrow = Start Of Next Word
Shift + Backspace = Delete From Start Of Field
Shift + Delete = Delete To End Of Field
Alternate + [UNDERLINED LETTER] = This will exit the dialog
box as if you had clicked on
the button containing the
underlined letter.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now has context sensitive online help, if you
use the ST-Guide accessory. If the accessory is installed
on your system, pressing the Shift + HELP key will cause
MasterBrowse to instruct ST-Guide to open a window with
information relavent to your current position. Since all
of the information is external, this option does not affect
the size of MasterBrowse at all, or how much memory it
uses. The entire MasterBrowse manual is available (accessed
by entering the help system while you are NOT in a dialog
box).
NEW FEATURE: When marking a block, the SHIFT key can be used to "continue"
a previously marked block. This means that the start of the
block will remain the same, and you are only adjusting where
it ends.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now has an "Edit" menu; "Clip Block" is now
"Copy" and "Open Clipboard" is now "Paste". This change
was implemented so that MasterBrowse would be more compliant
with existing (and future) standards.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now has a "Delete" option under the "Edit"
menu; it will delete the SCRAP.TXT file inside the
clipboard folder.
NEW FEATURE: The keyboard shortcut manager has been completely rewritten;
you can now add and remove keypresses at will, and change the
keyboard shortcut for ANY action (not just menu entries).
MasterBrowse no longer makes any distinction between the
left shift key and the right shift key. The interface to
the keyboard shortcut manager has also been rewritten; it is
now much more user-friendly!
BUG FIX: Selecting "Skip" in the colour configuration dialog box will
no longer cause MasterBrowse to set that colour to white.
BUG FIX: If the text or background colour is chnged, the window affected
is now completely redrawn.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now has a push/pop position feature; this can be
thought of as a temporary bookmark. You "push" (set) the
position, then "pop" (unset and move to) the position. This
is much faster than setting a bookmark because it does not
cause a dialog box to appear on the screen.
MasterBrowse 4.5a:
BUG FIX: The file selector should not work correctly (again).
BUG FIX: AutoSave Options will now always save the options to the
path pointed to by MB_CONFIG.
BUG FIX: If you have previously registered MasterBrowse, copy your
USERINFO.DAT file into the new MasterBrowse directory.
MasterBrowse will analyze the file; if it is valid, the
"MasterBrowse Information" dialog box that is shown to
unregistered users will not be shown to you. This did
not work (at all) in the last version, for which I
humbly apologize.
MasterBrowse 4.7:
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse no longer uses an internal font selector; instead,
it can now interface directly with the Universal Font Selector,
by Michael Thanitz. The Universal Font Selector is much more
reliable than the internal font selector previously used by
MasterBrowse. The MasterBrowse Installation Program will
copy UFSL.PRG to your /AUTO folder automatically, so no extra
effort on your part is required.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now uses windowed progress displays, so loading
a document no longer prevents other applications/accessories
from executing in the background and it allows you to switch
from one application to another while a document is being
loaded. (NOTE: If you turn off progress displays, the
loading speed will be markedly faster.)
NEW FEATURE: To make using ST-Guide with MasterBrowse easier, you can now
set the name of the ST-Guide accessory. To do this, create
an environment variable called "HELP_ACC" and set it to the
filename (no path and no extension) of the help accessory.
Example:
You would like MasterBrowse to use TEST.ACC, instead of
ST-GUIDE.ACC. Add the following line to GEM.CNF:
setenv HELP_ACC=TEST
If you have Mag!X, you would add the following line to
MAGX.INF:
#_ENV HELP_ACC=TEST
That is all that there is to it. In order, MasterBrowse
will look for HELP_ACC, 'ST-GUIDE', and 'STGUIDE'.
INSTRUCTIONS: The HyperText documentatin has been improved to take better
advantage of the power offered by the ST-Guide utility.
BUG FIX: Selecting "Close All Documents" will now clear the list of
open documents, so you can use the "Quick Access" feature
without getting an error message.
INSTALLAITON: The MasterBrowse Installation Program:
NEW FEATURE: If the destination path you specify in the
installation path contains folders that do
not exist, the installation program will now
create them.
NEW FEATURE: If there is no AUTO folder, the installation
program will now create one on the boot
device.
NEW FEATURE: The destination path no longer needs to be
terminated by a '\' character.
BUG FIX: The file selector will no longer contain an
invalid path specification if you double-click
on an editable text field.
NEW FEATURE: The installation program will no longer
generate an error if the destination file
exists during a copy operation. The old
file will silently be erased.
MasterBrowse 4.7 (R2)
BUG FIX: The title bar of the progress display will no
longer overwrite the name of the file being
loaded.
BUG FIX: On the Atari TT, file sizes should now be
reported correctly. As a direct result, the
progress display should also now work correctly.
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer ignore mouse clicks
on an underlined letter in a button within a
dialog box.
BUG FIX: When a window dialog box is opened, all menu
entries are now made unselectable. The
previous version of MasterBrowse did not
do this properly.
ALTERATION: The "Remove Block Markers" function has been
renamed "Deselect", to comply with the GEM-List
standard.
ALTERATION: MasterBrowse will no longer ring the system bell
if an attempt is made to move beyond the range
of a document.
[MasterBrowse 4.8]
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse now works with the Falcon, in any
resolution! This is a direct result of the aid
of Christian Grunenberg, and Leslie Hartmier.
ALTERATION: The MasterBrowse menu system is now much
smaller.
ALTERATION: You can no longer edit keyboard shortcuts (this
is not permanent -- it will be replaced soon).
