- Amiexpress. There has never been anything like this door before.
-
- File Description is a fileid extractor such as FileID by ByteAndi, but
- is much more powerful. Probably the most powerful fileid extractor
- available for amiexpress today!
-
- This door works and have been tested on AmiExpress 3.20+. I haven't
- tested it on any other amiexpress clones such as S-Express, but it
- should work there too.
-

- of the file_id.diz.

- speed on your system.

- CONFIGURATION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- File Description is not running on icons, since the most of us are
- hating them (Included me). Instead i am using scriptfiles, looking like
- the one used by Super-Dupecheck (By Pot-Noodle). This will also make the
- door alot faster and smaller.
-
- The following external files are available:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- FileDescription.Config (Configfile)
- FileDescription.Logos (Available grouplogos)
- FileDescription.Strip (Lines to strip)
- FileDescription.Help (User Onlinehelp)
-
- NOTE You don't need to change any of this files if you don't want to:
- * Add/Remove filetypes. The following filetypes are supported in
- the default config: (DMS,ZIP,TXT,LHA,LZH).
- * Add/Remove/Disable description logos.
- * Add/Remove striplines.
