- Author: Alex Gustavsen (s991641@stud.nhh.no)
- Uploader: Alex Gustavsen (s991641@stud.nhh.no)
- Version: 1.11
- Type: util/cli
- Replaces: util/cli/APT-WBOpen11.lha
- Requires: OS 3.5 (workbench.library v44+)
-
-
- = What's new ================================================================
-
- Oops! The namehandling when passing <name> from CLI actually didn't work in
- the previous release.. (WO would return "object not found".) Guess I forgot
- to test this in the final version.. (shit happens!)
-
-
- = About WBOpen ==============================================================
-
- WBOpen allows you to open files or drawers from Shell in the same way as if
- you doubleclicked their icons from WB. If you don't supply a name, an ASL
- requester will pop up.
-
- WBOpen requires OS3.5. It will not work unless Workbench is loaded.
-
-
- = Why? ======================================================================
-
- The main reason why I wrote WO was that I got tired of clicking my through
- the entire directory tree just to open ONE drawer. Usually this "one drawer"
- would be currentdir in CLI or the source directory in DOpus or Filemaster,
- which of course makes the situation seem even more wasted.. =]
-
- Then there's those programs that store their prefs as icon tooltypes, and
- expect you to type the arguments manually when started from Shell..
-
-
- = Usage =====================================================================
-
- WBOpen currently only takes one argument, which is the name of the file or
- drawer that you want to open. The entire commandline is taken as argument,
- so you don't have to worry about quotation marks if the name contains spaces,
- he he..
-
- Here's a few examples to demonstrate how it works:
-
- > wo sys:prefs ;this brings up the prefs drawer on the wb screen
- > wo "" ;opens currentdir
- > wo file with ttypes ;launches "file with ttypes" from WB
- > wo ;let you choose file/dir using a requester
-
-
- = History ====================================================================
-
- (1.11) Fixed a (rather serious) bug in the previous version: when supplying
- a name in the argument, WO would returned "object not found", which means the
- only way to access a file/drawer in v1.10 was through ASL. Oops..
-
- (1.10) First public release. Rewrote most of the source because the latest
- version somehow disappeared from my HD. Also added support for ASL requester
- if argument missing.
-
- (1.00) First version
