- Release 3.02 changes: 26 Nov 1991
-
- 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.
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- Nothing has changed on the programmer's side. The library still identifies
- itself as version 3.01, and all includes show that version number, too.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Release 3.01 changes: 17 Nov 1991
-
- 1. New 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. Version is now: Version 3, revision 1.
-
- 5. 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.
-
-
- Bug Fixes:
-
- 1. FR_Bypass now correctly intercepts all asl.library calls. The previous
- version didn't trap half the calls.
-
- 2. FR_Bypass would guru in some specific req.library calls.
-
- 3. The box around the File gadget wouldn't expand beyond 32 chars. Fixed.
-
- 4. The requester no longer crashes when you attempt to open a very large
- window size. It will now open to a calculated max height to fit 80 file
- entries in the window.
-
- 5. FR would guru badly if it faced device names longer than 8 characters.
-
- 6. The file list font would sometimes get reset to Topaz 8 when you resize
- the FR.. fixed.
-
- 7. Surrounded the Wait() statement with mask changes to 0xff, and 0x03.
- Should fix problems with special user images.
-
