- New Features with Version 1.1
- -----------------------------
-
- The following new features were introduced with FM Applic 1.1:
-
- o Auto-Load Application Icons Stay on Top of the File Manager
-
- The "Keep On Top" option has been added to the Application
- Properties dialog box. If you select this option, the
- application's icon will stay on top of the File Manager
- window.
-
- This feature allows you to Drag-Drop files to your
- auto-load applications even if the File Manager window is
- expanded to full size.
-
- o "Crop" Icon Shrinkage Method (Windows for Workgroups)
-
- The "Crop" icon shrinkage method has been added to the
- Change Button dialog box. If you select this option, a
- 16x15 section from the upper left hand corner of the icon
- is copied pixel for pixel, to the toolbar button (i.e. no
- shrinkage is performed).
-
- This feature allows you to create a custom toolbar button
- using your favorite icon editor. Create your image in the
- upper left hand corner (16 pixels wide by 15 pixels high)
- of the icon.
-
- o "Unknown" File Status in File Prompt (%@FP) Argument Field
-
- The File Prompt argument field now accepts UNKNOWN as a
- keyword for file-status. Use this keyword if the
- application can accept a new file or an existing file. This
- will display a File Name dialog box.
-
-
- Known Problems
- --------------
-
- 1. Under WIN-OS/2, FM Applic may have problems changing directories.
- If this is the case, change the "Working directory" for your
- applications to ".\". This will cause FM Applic to pre-pend the
- disk and path to each file name passed to the application.
-
- 2. Under WIN-OS/2, if you try to run an application and the program
- file does not exist, the File Manager may abort abnormally.
-
- 3. When installing over an existing installation of FM Applic, and
- you are using the File Manager, the position of application
- toolbar buttons may be reset (messed up). Simply choose the
- "Customize Toolbar" command from the File Manager's "Options"
- menu. Then you can restore the buttons back to their original
- positions.
