- I am sick of the ugly looking non-proportional text viewers. So I decided to
- write my own viewer that would be font-sensitive, and blend in with all your
- other nice patches, as so not to spoil the look and feel of your Workbench.
-
- Well I was sick of non-proportional text viewers until I made horizontal
- scrolling in this version. Now EvenMore doesn't support proportional fonts. But
- IMHO, even though EvenMore isn't as powerful as the rest, it still looks far
- nicer than the competition, and is increasing in functionality at every release.
-
- Here are the main features of 0.58
- ----------------------------------
-
- o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
- o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes opening files easy. Not only can you
- drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear!
- o Totally font sensitive.
- o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring settings.
- o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them.
- o Can create it's own public screen to run on.
- o ARexx port for remote control.
- o Supports the numeric keypad, mouse and wheel mouse movement.
- o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
- o String and pattern finding functions with search hilighting, including file
- and directory search.
- o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document.
- o Quick load listview for opening documents fast.
- o Configurable GUI for quick access to features.
- o File loading uses AsyncIO for speed.
- o Can open multiple files. Up to 1000 files can be stored in memory.
- o Help available by pressing the help key.
- o Gadget help bubbles.
- o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs.
- o Automatic conversion of AmigaGuide files to plain text.
- o Supports ANSI Escape code sequences!
- o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
- o Can use Asl or ReqTools library for filerequesters.
- o Option to save the file.
- o Send the file to an editor.
- o Print the file.
- o Conifurable information bar.
- o Execute commands or open a shell on the window.
- o XPK compression supported.
- o File history menu.
- o Locale support.
- o Clipboard support.
- o Supports plugin modules! (AmigaGuide, MSWord conversion)
-
- and more...
-
- Here are the recent features
- ----------------------------
-
- o Removed messy filetyping code. Created a plugin which allows filetyping,
- which can be easily changed using a textfile.
- o Created basic HTML2Text plugin.
- o Created a Linux manual to text conversion plugin for viewing .man files.
- o Updated all the plugins with the ability to specify a memory area to be
- allocated if the new file we are creating is larger than the original.
- This may be necessary for Troff files. Old plugins will not work with this
- new exe.
- o Thanks to Raul Silva for the português catalog!
- o Fixed a silly bug which stopped the Palette being saved properly on custom
- screens.
- o Updated HTML plugin with a few new commands, SCRIPT, STYLE, etc.
- o Created an Email plugin. Will read emails saved by Outlook express (with the
- .eml extension). Have yet to test an Amiga email. Works well, and will
- convert the HTML part of the email if available otherwise just text.
- o Adjusted the email plugin, should now open emails from YAM/Outlook Express
- or hopefully anything in mime format.
- o Wrote a FinalCopy/FinalWriter conversion plugin.
- o Russian catalog has been created thanks to Vitaliy Chepeleff.
- o Fixed a stupid bug where if you tried to launch EvenMore with a file in the
- current directory, an EvenMore already open would not pick up the file path.
- o Created a basic ProWrite conversion plugin.
- o Added a new status bar keyword, %pl will give the type of file being viewed
- by the plugins.
- o Created a basic depth gadget for the window in the borderless window.
- o Completely reworked GUI pen settings from the ground up. You can now specify
- colours for each of the individual parts of the window using sliders in the
- GUI/Border page in the preferences, and these will automatically get their
- own shades of that colour for any bevelled edges. Also this means no wrong
- colours when switching screens too :).
- o You can now double-click on a result in the listview from the search function
- and EvenMore will load that file and scroll to the row it was found on.
- o Hopefully fixed a nasty enforcer hit in the freeing of some gadgets (which
- were already freed) when the window closed. Thanks to Alfred Faust for
- reporting it :).
- o Thanks also to Alfred for creating a deutsch catalog for EvenMore! And he has
- included a handy script and template files for anyone wishing to compile
- catalogs of their own1 :)
- o EvenMore wouldn't make screen pens for custom screens sharable, so it wasn't
- able to allocate any! Also removed custom palette settings as hopefully
- we won't need them anymore.
- o You can now simply click the left mouse button and drag to hilight text!
- o Added 2 new icon sets, program and doc icons courtesy of Raul Silva.
- o Released the source of the plugins on the webpage.
- o As soon as you hilight text, it will be copied to the clipboard.
- o Scroller gadgets should now work more accurately (scrolling by 1 line in a
- 10000 lines document, or a percentage with anything over that)
- o Improved MSWord file recognition slightly, and wrote a basic MacWord plugin.
- Should load MacWord 4,5,6,2001 files.
- o Rewrote the Troff plugin, works better now but not perfect.
- o MSWord plugin should find the start of text better now (wouldn't load an XP
- file)
- o Wrote a basic Generic text plugin. If none of the other plugins can define
- the filetype, and there is binary text in it, this plugin will strip every
- line ending with a CR or LF and display it. This is a last resort plugin,
- so it may or may not work depending on the file content.
- o EvenMore will now support the new icon.library v44 for NewIcon and GlowIcons.
- o Created a new Wordwrap plugin. If no other plugins have been used, this
- plugin will wordwrap the text to 80 chars if any lines go beyond that.
- I also have sped up the plugin selection a bit.
- o The icons will be reloaded every time you switch screens. This will remap
- any newicons/glowicons to their true colours.
- o Rewritten the way icons are handled. This will require icon.library v44.
- Icons will also now be transparent for newicons and glowicons. Icons also
- only redraw if they get trashed.
- o Wrote a new AmigaWriter plugin.
- o Optmised gadget help bubbles and icon imagery to use GadgetHelp instead of
- checking to see if the user clicked in a certain area.
-
- There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs
- before you delete as soon as you set your eyes on it.
-
- All hints, tips, examples of code, etc., will be appreciated!

- I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a
- Christian and believe Jesus Christ will return very soon. If I do not reply to
- any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
