QuickClose 1.0 (20.6.96) © Konrad Dubiel
*****************************************************************************
INTRODUCTION
--------------
QuickClose is a simple tool that lets you close Workbench drawer window
with all its parents in one mouse click. This feature is one of the most
innovative things in Win95 and now is brought to your Amiga by QuickClose!
This program is a small harmless hack, but is not guaranteed to work with
Kickstart 4.0. With Kickstarts older than 2.0 it is guaranteed not to work.
QuickClose is a freeware and may be freely distributed as long as all
files remain unchanged. The author can not be taken responsible for any
damage caused by this program or its improper use.
INSTALLATION
--------------
Simply drop QuickClose into WBStartup drawer or start it from
User-Startup using 'Run >NIL: QuickClose'.
USAGE
-------
QuickClose can be started from Workbench or from Shell and has one
parameter - qualifier you want to use. When this key is held down when you
click on window's close gadget QuickClose will tell Workbench to close all
its parents also. This qualifier may be changed by setting QUALIFIER
tooltype in QuickClose's icon or may be specified as a command line argument
when QuickClose is run from Shell. Shell template is: QuickClose QUALIFIER/K.
Available qualifiers are (case is not important):
lshift - left Shift
rshift - the opposite
shift - left or right Shift
lalt - left Alt
ralt - middle Alt :-)
alt - you have free choice
control - sometimes called Ctrl
lcommand - mysterious name of left Amiga key
rcommand - look at the other end of the space bar...
When qualifier is not specified in command line it will be read from an
icon. If this tooltype is not set in icon, 'shift' will be used as default.
To quit QuickClose send to it CTRL-C signal using keyboard, 'break'
command or system monitor. The simpler way is to run it again and select 'Ok'
in resulting requester. Because this program patches intuition.library
vectors you must have a patch manager (like SetMan) installed in your system.
If it is not found QuickClose won't be removed because of safety reasons.
LIMITATIONS
-------------
Nobody is perfect. QuickClose will get confused when you try to close
window opened with 'Open Parent' menu function. Closing and opening Workbench
screen again won't help either. In both cases windows may be closed in
improper order, that's all.
