Description:
ProFiler is a replacement Filer for the desktop, that contains all the
functionality of the ROM-Filer and more. This is a demo version. Read the
!Help file to find out how to get the full version.
Requirements:
Risc OS 3.70 or later.
List of main features:
* Rename-in-place (Alt-click on object).
* Access-in-place (Alt-click on attributes).
* Select files in several viewers at once.
* Very fast viewer update, uses Wimp_BlockCopy.
* Hang-clicking is supported (and optional).
* Objects can be hidden from view.
* CTRL-open is not forgotten about.
* A status bar can show the size of your selection.
* Booting of applications happens in the background.
* Updates relevant files when a filetype sprite becomes available.
* The width of the objects is properly calculated, and the widest object sets
the standard in the viewer. This applies to both the name and the sprite.
* Key shortcuts for the majority of functions. Also things that are not in the
menus, like moving around in the viewer and running objects.
* Key shortcuts are fully definable, and unused shortcuts can be used for
external utilities.
* The input focus will never be 'stolen' from another application, unless
explicitly told to do so.
* A large number of things are customisable.
* Module is about 48K, written exclusively in assembler.
* Third-party extension modules for providing thumbnails for objects. JPEG,
Draw, Sprite and ARMovie clients included.
* Extended full-info display: Turn columns on and off or switch them around.
* All of the choices for a viewer can be stored locally for that viewer.
* Seperate options for each file-operation, eg. turn on Confirm for delete,
but not for everything else.
* Cache system for thumbnails, and option to save pieces of the cache in the
places where it will be needed.
* Service calls, wimp messages and SWIs allow applications to take advantage
of the Filer's extended abilities.
* System variables allow easy extensions without having to program.
