- 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 Created a basic RTF plugin.
- o Removed Printer settings from the preference GUI. Instead of opening the
- printer device, it will now open a file using the PRT: device instead. The
- other method was causing problems with TurboPrint. Please use the Workbench
- printer preferences instead.
- o Fixed a bug. Was updating menus while they were still in use when loading or
- closing a file. Thanks Jean Marie :).
- o Images within EvenMore, e.g. Hand image when you quit EvenMore, will now be
- loaded through icons in the icon folder you are currently using. They will
- support NewIcons/GlowIcons as usual.
- o Created a basic Becker2text plugin.
- o A new PowerArt ASCII plugin has been created by aGGreSSor of team PowerAmiga,
- along with a new Russian locale!
- o Created a very basic work in progress IXML plugin (See Ix-Guide,
- www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/hudson/187.
- o Amended EvenMore's escape code interpreter. Not sure if these codes are in
- use already, if they are, someone let me know.
- I have 2 new codes, *e[50;0;0;0m and *e[51;0;0;0m. Both take 3 arguments
- after them to allocate a pen for text (R,G,B). 50 changes the Pen colour, and
- 51 will change the background colour, thus giving you multicoloured text.
- o Rewrote RTF plugin from the ground up with full colour support.
- o Jan Zahurancik has created a Slovak catalog for EvenMore!
- o Quickload list from the menus gave trouble because it tried to reset menus
- while they were in use. Fixed. Also tried to squeeze prefs window smaller so
- it would give less trouble on smaller screenmodes.
- o Text formatting will now span more than one line if required. Unfortunatley
- this will mean reprogramming some of the plugins as these were programmed
- relying on EvenMore not being able to carry the text format on to the next
- line.
-
- 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.
