Short: Snap and paste anywhere using the mouse.
Type: os20/cdity
Author: nico@augfl.be (Nico Francois)
PowerSnap is a utility that allows you to use the mouse to mark characters
anywhere on the screen and paste them somewhere else, like in the CLI or in a
string gadget.
PowerSnap will check what font is used in the window you snap from and will
look for the position of the characters automatically. It recognizes all non
proportional fonts of up to 24 pixels wide and of any height so this should
cover most fonts used. Snapping and pasting text is done using the mouse,
making PowerSnap fast and easy to use.
Special note for graphics card owners: this release has been succesfully
tested on Piccolo, EGS Spectrum and Picasso II (both normal and CHUNKY mode).
Some cards may require you to set the new RTG switch/tooltype.
**********************************************************************
VERSION 2.2a
o Fixed problem with RTG detection code and added an RTG switch and
tooltype to force RTG mode on. If PowerSnap doesn't work on your
graphics card try using the RTG switch.
o The clipboard is now opened when PowerSnap is installed and closed
when it is removed and no longer on every clipboard read/write.
This avoids the overuse of CLIPS:.
o The handler will no longer look for PowerSnap in the command path.
It will now simply execute PowerSnap from 'PROGDIR:'.
o Bug fix: there was a small amount of memory loss when PowerSnap was
quit. Oops :)
o Bug fix: error reporting routine (from Workbench) would hang when
ReqTools was not installed.
o Bug fix: on systems without locale.library the hex pattern gadgets
contained a capital X instead of the correct hex number.
o Fixed harmless mungwall hit that occured when 'All Fonts' was
switched on and PowerSnap couldn't find a character under the mouse
pointer (allocation of 0 bytes).
o Swedish catalog included, translation by Roger Nordin.
o French catalog included, translation by Benoit Mortier.
