- Volume Library File Manager
-
- VlFm is some of the program I wish was the File Manager. VlFm provides most of the
- features needed for basic operation within the Windows environment.
-
- The major benefits of the program is the association of a program with an extension
- allows VlFm to show the associated Icon!
-
- Another great feature is the Flashback menu which keeps a history of anywhere you
- have been (up to the last 75 places/files opened!)
-
- Features:
-
- Multiple display options.
-
- small, NoRmAl and LARGE icon sizes.
-
- All the basic file operations.
-
- Rename 'in place'.
-
- Associations.
-
- WYSIWYG font menu.
-
- Drag files to copy.
- Copy Progress Window with cancel option.
-
- Right double click on Trash Can or window title bar to start undelete.
-
- Left double click on Trash Can text to close VlFm.

-
- Ability to rename a file by double clicking on the name. After making your changes,
- press the enter key to accept or escape to abort the rename.
-
- Sorting and excluding of the files listed. Standard sorting. Ability to not show
- files with a DLL extension (faster loading) or files which do not have an
- association in the win.ini file.
-
- Associations via VlFm. This option will also add the entry to the Windows
- Registration file! Good for the futures...
-
- The VlFm.ini file (litter) is no longer hidden (except from VlFm)
-
- The WYSIWYG font menu can be turned off. This allows for a faster load/startup of the
- program. This option appear only on the Trash can (VlFm) on the Options/Style menu.

- To those who have sent me mail about 0.92...
-
- I had planned to send you mail to both thank you for tyhe comments as well as inform
- you of the small update. About Aug 15, I lost my hard disk thanks to the DOS6
- Defrag. It said error 2. and had cross linked the entires thing... I lost all
- my mail addresses from CSERV. Please write again!
-
- I still have not been able to find the cause of black icons being drawn!? Anyone
- have an idea?
-
- I have been using this for about a month an think its stable...
-
- I still use both the File Manager and the Program manager. This fills a void but
- is not, nor will I try to be the beat all to end all....
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Also:
-
- This started as a winter project, and I have not spent very much time on it since 0.92.
- I hope to get the program to something I want to call 1.00 by the end of the year.
- So far I have spend about a month of 8 hour days to get to the point you see.
- Including loosing about 6 day of work for lack of a backup for a 2 month period.
-
- When I run a program, and type in the name into the Run... option, I add the extension,
- like command.com or notepad.exe, instead of just command or notepad. That way the
- saved entry on the Flashback menu is either red or blue. At least when I dont find the
- program on the menu in the first place.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Any donations for the program is appreciated! $10-15 would be nice if you find VlFm
- useful!
