- Changes since IEv3.0
- --------------------
- - REQUIRES DOS2.x MINIMUM!!!!!!!! Sorry, but IE will no longer work under
- AmigaDos 1.3 or earlier. If you need IE for Workbench 1.3 or earlier then
- contact me for a previous version of IE.
- - Now uses DOS2.x new-look screens and windows.
- - Replace IE requesters and menus with calls to DOS2.x requesters and menus.
- This makes IE look more standard and allows the use of "third-party"
- requester and menu enhancer programs like ARQ, MFR and MagicMenu.
- - The size of images being edited in IE is now configurable allowing IE
- to use less memory when only dealing with small icons.
- Defaults to 320 x 128, configurable up to 640 x 256.
- - Main display window now updates FAST!!!!
- - The resolution of IE's screen is now configurable.
- Defaults to HIRES, configurable up to SUPERHIRES with INTERLACE.
- - Magnification factor is now configurable.
- - Colour swapping routines are now limited to the actual size of the icon
- and hence are MUCH FASTER!
- - Scale icon image from 1/8 size to 8 times size.
- - Preview window nows opens as a full-screen borderless window to display
- more of the icon. It can now be closed by clicking the right mouse button
- in the window.
-
- Future enhancements planned
- ---------------------------
- - Workbench 2.1 or later language locale support. I have users who can do
- the German and French translations but I haven't found out how to do it
- yet.
- - Drawing tools. Now that magnification has been implemented I will start
- to work on putting in some line/box/circle type editing tools.
- - Menu option to select autosave intervals or even to disable autosave.
- - Menu option to turn off pattern matching totally in file requesters.
- - Iconify to application icon. Use icon for loading icons by dragging icons
- onto application icon.
- - Pattern fills for icons rather than boring solid fills.
- - Adjust position of text in icon.
- - Cut and Paste image portions.
- - AREXX control.
