- General Description:
-
- SaveW is a little Cli-programm, which saves the settings (LeftEdge,TopEdge,
- Width and Height) of the current window to a file or alternatively writes
- them to the Cli-window.
-
- Later this setting-file can be used to change a window to its contents.
-
- SaveW is a companion program to SizeW, which should be also on this Disk.
-
- SaveW saves the window-settings and SizeW sizes and moves the Window.
-
- SaveW ist only useful if you`re also using SizeW.
-
- System:
-
- You need at minimum Kickstart 2.0 Version 37.xx .
-
- Under Version 1.2 and 1.3 SaveW couldn`t run because of calling a lot a new
- library functions and features.
-
-
- Legal Stuff:
-
-
- This program and all files come with it, also the docfiles, are
- released as FREEWARE.
-
- this means:
-
- everybody may use SaveW,
-
- everybody may copy SaveW, if:
-
- 1. You copy all included files, see list at the end of the
- doc file.
- 2. No changes are made, this means the program and all
- included files must stay in the original form.
- Exception: you may archieve it; but in this case you
- must also archieve the whole package.
- 3. If you recompile it, you have to include a notice to
- the original author. If you also want to (re)distribute
- in any new form you have to send me a copy.
- 4. You may not sell SaveW.
- Execption: you`re allowed to take a small copy fee
- which should not extend 5US$.
- 5. If you want to include SaveW
- or one of the included files as a part of a commercial
- package, you must have written permission of the
- author (address see below).
-
-
- I take no warranty or garanty for the function of this program.
- The whole risk of using SaveW stays only by the user.
-
-
- Start Parameters:
-
- SaveW can be called only from Cli and has the following SYNTAX:
-
-
- SYNOPSIS: SaveW [Config|INFO/S]
-
- with:
-
-
- Config String for Config you should specify a filename
- in which the settings of the current active
- window will be written.
- If you donot specify any configuration file
- SaveW uses its default file:
- 's:Window.config'.
-
- This is also the dafault file of SizeW. So
- you are enabled to use SaveW with SizeW
- without the need to specify any commandline
- parameter.
-
- INFO if you type INFO instead of a config file
- SaveW writes the settings of the current
- active window in the Cli-window.
- So you are able to improve different sizes
- and settings before saving anything.
-
-
- If you specify Config and INFO the config file will be ignored.
-
-
-
- Using SaveW:
-
- The useful thing with SaveW and SizeW is, to use different sizes of cli
- windows without the need to type everytime the settings by yourown.
- Therefor you can create some Aliases or write Batch-Scripts.
-
- E.g.:
- here is a Batch-Script that replaces the Endcli command. Before the Shell
- terminates the current window settings will be written to 's:LastShell.cfg'.
-
- ( Therefor I assume, that this Batch-Script is placed in the s: Directory with
- the name 'End' and its S-Bit is set by typing 'Protect s:End +s'. )
-
-
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- .key NONE ; no Parameters
-
- SaveW s:LastShell.cfg ; save the window settings
- Wait 1 ; wait for the end of the write-request
- Endcli ; closing the Shell-window
-
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Now you should close a Shell always by calling 'End'.
-
- Now you have to insert the following line to you s:shell-startup file:
-
-
- 'SizeW F s:LstShell.cfg'
-
-
- So you get each time you start a NewShell the window settigns you had the
- last time you finished a shell by calling End.
-
-
- NOTICE:
-
- Bacause of saving always the current window settings, you should take
- care that only the Shell-window is the active one. Else the settings of
- another window will be saved.
-
- You can also use SaveW and SizeW to change settings from other windows
- as cli-windows. But you should realize that there are some programs that
- react a little critical by trying to size their windows
- (that means GURU).
-
- Certainly SizeW only sizes windows that have a SizeGadget.
-
-
- Last:
-
- I hope many people use SizeW and SaveW.
-
- If you find any bugs please let me know.
-
- Also serious critic and/or ideas are wellcomed.
