-
-
- Fix.backdrop
-
- Yet another handy utility from Bruce Steers
- -------------------------------------------
-
-
- This is an Arexx script i wrote to Clean up the .backdrop file of a disk
-
- '.backdrop' holds the info for icons to 'Leave Out' on the workbench
-
- it seems you can have many obsolete paths still in this file.
-
- reasons for this could be you manualy deleted a 'left out' file
- or maybe the .backdrop file is an old file Restored from a backUp
-
-
- whatever the reason this GUI will show all files that are listed
- in a .backdrop file and if any paths are missing an icon
-
- (this will cause file to NOT be left out and is thus Obsolete)
-
-
-
-
- Usage:
- ------
-
- To start.. Simply Double Click the Fix.backdrop Icon
-
- you must have AWNPipe installed
-
- If you do not have AWNPipe then get the latest archive from the support site
- http://web.ukonline.co.uk/awnpipe/
-
-
- Fix.backdrop gets a list of devices and finds which ones have .backdrop's
-
- Disks that are either 'missing a .backdrop' or are
- 'Write Protected' will not be listed
-
- below the main ListView is a Chooser Gadget with 'Information' displayed
- Use this gadget to select a device
-
- once the .backdrop file is checked , if any Paths are Obsolete the
- 'Fix .backdrop' Gadget Becomes un-disabled
-
-
- Simply Click the 'Fix .backdrop' Gadget to renew the file
-
-
