- Release 3.13 changes: 29 April 1992
-
-
- - The FR now does intelligent color selection. This gives it a much better
- chance of being legible on strange color palettes, and attempts to keep
- the 3d look effect. This is only disabled if the calling program sets
- the FR_USEPENS flag.
-
- - When the history list is being shown, if a file path/name is longer than
- the space available, the path is truncated starting with the device
- name, and then subdirectories until the name fits in the display.
-
- e.g.:
-
- Work:dir/subdir/test.file
- ..:dir/subdir/test.file
- ../subdir/test.file
- ../test.file
-
- - The disk icons up/down scroll arrows now move 2 disks at a time.
-
- - The FR now attempts to keep the same visual size when used on interlaced
- and non-interlaced screens. It will double its size when it shows up on
- an interlaced screen automatically.
-
- - Disk list mode, shows disks names only, without icons.
-
-
- Bug Fixes:
-
- - Arrow gadgets didn't highlight when clicked on.. fixed.
-
-
- ...........................................................................
-
- FR_Bypass changes:
-
- - If the FR opens its own screen, the title of the new screen is the
- same as the calling program's screen.
-
- - The 'w' option now works the other way around, using it makes the
- startup window show up.
-
- - FR_Bypass now has an icon.. and can be run from WB, and/or placed in
- the WBStartup drawer. Running it after the first time simply makes
- the current copy bring up its Control Panel.
-
- - The Control Panel has more new options:
-
- - Save Config Saves configuration to envarc:.
- - Load Config Loads configuration from envarc:.
- - Reset to Defaults Resets settings to 'factory' defaults.
- - Kill FR_Bypass Unloads FR_Bypass.
-
- For pre 2.0 users, make sure you assign envarc: somewhere.
-
- - When FR_Bypass first runs, it attempts to load up the saved config from
- envarc: if it was run from WB, or no options were specified when run
- from the shell.
-
- - The w, z, o and d user options can now be changed from the Control Panel.
-
- - You can set the default width/height for the default 3 FR sizes, both
- from the Control Panel, and from the CLI.
-
- - New option forces the FR to reset to the Normal size after each time.
-
- - The pen used to render the directories in the list now defaults to a
- better choice.
-
- - If the FR showing up on a screen will cause the screen's contents to
- be destroyed, the FR will open its own screen. This is most evident
- in DPaint and similar programs.
-
-
-
- Bug Fixes:
-
- - Fixed bug with REQ bypass sometimes not correctly cancelling the FR.
-
- - Fixed problems with enabling/disable the injector.
-
- - When the control panel is up, hitting the hotkey to invoke it again
- no longer causes it to pop up again when it is exited.
-
- - The injector FR now obeys the custom screen settings and auto-center.
-
- - Fixed bug with asl bypass causing AssignX not to work correctly.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Release 3.10 changes: 29 March 1992
-
- 1. User List:
-
- The User List is simply a list of directories and files that the user
- defines and can access quickly. To get to the list, just click the right
- mouse button once to get the User List, or hit the F2 key. You can then
- pick any entry in that list to go to that directory, or select that file.
-
- The User List is read from a file called "s:kd_freq.user.list", which you
- create. It is simply a list of directories or files, each on its own line.
- Each entry must be terminated with a return. A directory must end with
- a : or a / so that it is recognized as one. A file is any entry which
- doesn't end with a : or a /. The library will read the user.list file
- when it FIRST starts up, so any changes to this file won't show up until
- the next time the library starts itself. (normally at boot-up time).
-
- You can also quickly add the current file/directory to the User List,
- just hit F8 and it will be added to the user list, however, this will
- only remain for the duration of the current session.. once the library
- is flushed, these will be lost. As long as the library is not flushed,
- all programs using the library access the same list, so if you add an
- entry from the FR in one program, it'll show up in the other, i.e. the
- User List is global.
-
- Note: If the user list is empty, it will NOT show up, and the FR will skip
- it and go to the next list instead.
-
- The User List ignores duplicate entries.
-
-
- 2. History List:
-
- The history list is the last 100 files you OK'd in any invocation of
- the FR during the current session. (i.e. since the library was loaded).
- It acts like the User List, except that entries are added to it
- automatically as you use the FR. If you cancel the FR, the entry will
- not be stored. To access the History list click on the right mouse
- button twice, or hit the F2 key twice.
-
- Note: If the history list is empty, the FR will skip it and show the
- storage devices list instead.
-
- The History List is NOT sorted, it shows up in reverse order of
- selection, i.e. last file selected shows up at the top of the list.
-
- The History List deletes duplicate entries. When the list is
- filled up, the new entry pushes out the oldest entry.
-
-
- 3. Programmer's changes:
-
- a. New Flag, FR_SELECTLISTTIME, allows you to ask the FR to return to
- you the Select List file in order of selection, not sorted. As each
- file is cliked on, a time stamp is attached to it, and when the list
- is returned to the program, it is returned in order of selection.
- Note this only works with the select list, not the old extended list.
-
- b. If the user ok's a requester with marked entries without entering
- them in the select list, these are automatically entered in the select
- list before returning the list to the program. This makes it unnecessary
- to hit the Select gadget in order to store the marked files.
-
- c. New flag, FR_DIRSONLY, makes the FR come up in Dirs-Only mode. This
- totally ingores files and only allows the user to select a path.
- The file, hide, and show gadgets disappear, and only directories are
- shown in the file list area.
-
- d. New flag, FR_USEPENS, allows you to set up the basic render pen colors
- within the FR. Note that the higher the pen number, the slower the
- rendering generally will be.
-
-
- Bug Fixes:
-
- 1. ASL font requesters were incorrectly bypassed when using BackTalk. This
- no longer happens. FR_Bypass passes those font requests back to the
- asl.library now, as it should.
-
- 2. FR_Bypass was not coming up in the screen font when bypassing a request.
- Fixed.
-
- 3. The Select List display would get messed up when a proportional font was
- used.. fixed.
-
- 4. Clicking on an empty entry sometimes caused garbage to show up in the
- file gadget.. fixed.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FR_Bypass changes:
-
- 1. Auto-Center option, makes FR always come up centered on screens.
- 2. New control panel to change Bypass settings on the fly.
- 3. Option to force FR to always come up on its own screen, or to only do
- that if destination screen is lo-res.
-
- Read the FR_Bypass.DOC for details.
-
-
- Bug Fixes:
-
- 1. PageStream 2.2 and 2.2HL FR calls now work correctly.
- 2. TurboText font calls are no longer incorrectly intercepted.
- 3. other small bug fixes.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Release 3.01 changes: 17 Nov 1991
-
- 1. Program-definable gadget that can be used from within the requester.
- Read the docs for programming details for the ExtraButton.
-
- 2. Added 'About' feature in Injector. Just click on the 'About' gadget
- to see instructions on how to use the Injector.
-
- 3. Directory string gadget now shows the last part of the directory's path
- name if it is longer than the string gadget.
-
- 4. New program, WFind is a simple program that does what Find does, except
- it searches for files using a wildcard pattern, like the FR feature
- does. I put this here along with WFind.c so that you can play with it.
