- Beta #8
- /***********************************************************/
- Put an option (in Preferences) to omit the slider bar in the reading
- window - this will reclaim the area for actual message text AND will
- make PmQwk work with OS/2 2.1 betas. (NOTE: the newest beta seems to have
- fixed the bug - I left the workaround in as a 'feature' though, since it's
- optional.)
-
- Added 'More Preferences': (under Options Menu)
- - End of conference options
- - beep on last message
- - move focus to Prev button when last message reached
- (like older versions of PmQwk)
- - move focus to Quit button when last message reached
- - Make 'Next' button go to next conference when reading
- last message - NOTE: Next Screen button will also behave
- this way.
-
- - Start taglines with first one in file (like older versions)
- - Start taglines with last one used
- - Choose taglines sequentially (like older version)
- - Choose taglines randomly
- - No formatting on reply text - your reply will be left AS IS
- beware, truncation on different BBSes could occur if you don't
- take care of this problem yourself. NO formatting is done on
- your text.
- - Convert Subject/To/From to upper case - necessary for some
- BBSes.
-
-
- +/- will now operate the same as next/prev message.
-
- Removed ability to have Prev/Next buttons on right side of
- container - new page up/page down buttons near Prev/Next made
- this option obsolete.
-
- Added ability to 'bookmark' directly from the List dialog.
-
- Added a (much requested) 'next screen' button - pages down
- if there's more to a message, moves to the next message
- when it reaches the bottom.
-
- Page up/page down buttons added to read message buttons -
- next to Prev/Next buttons.
-
- Read message buttons changed to icon buttons - contributions for
- alternate icons welcome. There's simply not enough room on the
- bottom to have buttons with words (without getting into microscopic
- fonts.) Status area in lower right corner tells what each button is as the
- pointer passes over it - the letter which is capitalized is the 'hotkey' for
- that button.
-
- NASTY reedit bug fixed.
-
- EPM now works properly with PmQwk.
-
- Window switch list added - ability to switch between PmQwk
- windows. Alt-W (get it from the menu) or both mouse buttons
- on the PmQwk workspace <smile>
-
- 2.1 beta workaround. Use "PMQWK /2" (no qoutes) at the
- command line. This will disable the slider bars in the
- reading area which causes the current 2.1 beta to crash PmQwk.
- addendum: you can also select this from the Preferences dialog,
- but you must do it before you open any conferences. This will
- save the setting for future use though.
-
- 'Unpacking' indicator in title bar of 'BBS List' while a packet
- is unpacking.
-
- Fixed bug in Filter and list box that didn't handle 'unread'
- messages properly.
-
- Added pop-up (context) menus in several areas.
-
- BBS List changed to CUA container - added date/time of QWK packet
- to each item.
-
- Fixed bug where first line of reply get pulled up into the quote.
-
- The container in the 'List' dialog now gets the focus when opened.
-
- Changed the look of taglines.
-
- Verification of paths and archivers in the 'Paths' dialog.
-
- Notification and assistance when QWK packets exist which can't
- be unpacked while in 'Unpack' dialog.
