- SUPPORT FOR ANY FLAVOR OF WINDOWS
CatFish will detect and scan long filenames on Windows NT as well as Win95.
As a 16-bit utility, this version of CatFish now runs on Win 3.1x, WFW 3.11,
Win95, WinNT, and all compatible environments such as OS/2.
- DIRECTORY NAME SEARCHING
CatFish will now also look for matching directory names, not just file names.
- DISK SIZE AND DISK LABEL INFORMATION
This version stores and displays the total disk capacity next to each catalog
name. Disk labels are also stored, displayed, and exported when available.
- FASTER AGAIN, LIMITS RAISED
Due to improvements in the MetaKit library used by CatFish, it is noticeably
faster during catalog searches. Catalog limits are now only determined by
the 16-bit model: up to 8000 dirs/catalog, each dir with up to 8000 files.
- USER INTERFACE ENHANCEMENTS
Hitting the space key while on a directory selects it (same as double-click).
In the file list, the space key tries to launch it (same as double-click).
Navigation of directories is easier: they now collapse/expand as appropriate.
Hit a key to jump to the next entry starting with the corresponding character.
If the Shift key is held down, letter-jumps are done in the reverse direction.
Parent directories are shown as white-on-gray to make them stand out more.
The CatFish main window is now resizable, size/position is saved across runs.
The "CATFISH.DAT" preference file (in same dir as CatFish) stores this info.
- RUNNING MULTIPLE INSTANCES
CatFish can now be launched more than once. Multiple copies of the utility
can be started in different directories, each using their own set of catalogs.
- KNOWN PROBLEMS
On Windows 3.1x, the disk size of CD-ROMS and removable disks may be reported
as 128 Mb. The total directory sizes reported by CatFish are still accurate.
On screens with large fonts, the displayed texts can be incorrectly aligned.
- DIFFERENCES
CatFish now reports sizes over 99,999 Kb in Megabytes (was: 999,999 Kb).
Furthermore the calculation has changed to: 1 Mb = 1024 Kb (was 1000 Kb).
This brings sizes reported by CatFish in line with sizes reported elsewhere.
- COMPATIBILITY
This release can read catalogs from any of the previous versions of CatFish,
the software if fully upward compatible. New catalogs saved by this version
are not necessarily readable by previous releases of this utility, though.
Disk info is only available for catalogs created by this version of CatFish.
