WinEd is a shareware template editor. Please see the documentation for
conditions of use.
Important: If you are upgrading from version 2.20 or earlier, delete the
WinEdReg application. Registration is now handled from WinEd's banner.
Documentation is provided in two forms: a plain text !Help file within the
!WinEd directory, and a file ("Manual") suitable for Impression Style or
Publisher. The latter contains the same text as the help file, but nicely
formatted; it is set up to print two A5 pages per A4 page.
I can print manuals (on a Bubble Jet printer) for registered users, but
please do not ask for one unless you really can not print it yourself. Having
to print manuals is likely to delay processing of registration, and my
printer plays up a lot (I think BJ stands for Blocked Jet, not Bubble Jet).
Note about keyboard short cuts:
The short cut for Delete is ^K. ^X, Delete and <-| (Backspace) are no longer
supported; they are reserved for applications that use Cut & Paste. The short
cut for Work area... (open Edit work area dialogue) was originally ^K, so
has had to be changed to ^O.
I haven't bothered to document keyboard short cuts, no one would learn them
all by heart from reading, you just gradually pick them up from the menus.
Note about BorderUtils & NewLook:
BorderUtils is a module to fix a bug in RISC OS 3.1. WinEd, like any
application with 3D slabbing icons, needs it. It comes with NewLook and as a
stand-alone from good PD libraries. WinEd was also designed with sprites from
NewLook in mind, some of the old ones look awful now.
Most PD and Shareware has a 'history' section, so I started one in the
end, but not until version 2.20:
Version 2.34 (13 March 1996)
------------
• Made click on Save in browser menu save file if it has a pathname.
Version 2.33 (03 March 1996)
------------
• Simplified drag rounding to avoid inconsistencies when windows are forced
on screen.
Version 2.32 (14 February 1996)
------------
• Added protection against indirected icon strings overrunning their
buffers.
• Changed statistics to match figures given by Wimp_LoadTemplate.
• Editable icons are now filled when selected to ensure that their
selected status is always visible.
Version 2.31 (11 February 1996)
------------
• Corrected submenu-opening message handling.
• Corrected bugs in outline font management
• Amended counting of indirected data in statistics.
• Corrected appalling mistake of not properly updating distribution
archive from bugged intermediate version.
Version 2.30 (4 February 1996)
------------
• Replaced writable sub-menus with small dialogue boxes for Style Guide
compliance. And they look a lot nicer when popping up from a tool button or
keyboard shortcut.
• Switched to a more reliable memory management library.
• Removed distinction between Wimp and user sprite areas.
• Added option to auto-load sprites with templates.
• Added feature to clear user sprites.
• Browser tool bar is now switched off by default; it looked a little out of
place.
• The panes no longer flicker when changing a selection.
• The editable window tool pane now behaves the same as Draw's ie will move
partially off screen with its parent, but jumps fully back on if it goes all
the way off.
Version 2.22 (14 January 1996)
------------
• Fixed browser redraw bug.
• Fixed Edit window dialogue box code to read/write pane icon properly.
• Removed redundant Banner template from main Templates file.
New in version 2.21 (6 January 1995)
-------------------
• Reorganised registration/banner code to eliminate separate WinEdReg
application.
• Changed rounding code so window size doesn't jiggle about when moving
them.
• Changed Stats templates to improve appearance with anti-aliased fonts.
Version 2.20
------------
• Browser windows behave like filer windows (minimum size no longer dictated
by title bar).
• Minimising icon sizes now takes RISC PC Desktop font into account as well
as System font (defaults to Homerton.Medium).
• Validation of outline font colours corrected.
• Click in Icon picker work area clears selection.
• Tool bars are on by default, so new users know they exist (and I still like
using them anyway).
