- Short: Replacement for WB2+ 'Execute', V1.3
- Author: nmc@dircon.co.uk (Nick Christie)
- Uploader: nmc@dircon.co.uk (Nick Christie)
- Type: util/wb
- Requires: dev/gui/BGUI12.lha, dev/gui/mui33usr.lha, AmigaOS V2.04+.
- Version: 1.3
-
- ShellBench is a replacement for the Workbench Execute requester. It
- opens a small window with a string gadget for typing in the desired
- command. The string gadget supports filename completion, clipboard
- paste, and keeps a command history buffer.
-
- Via tooltypes and an options window, ShellBench offers fine control
- over the execution environment of launched programs, including task
- priority, stack size and current directory. In addition to using
- ShellBench on-demand for executing individual Shell commands, you can
- also quickly set up project icons that run Shell programs in highly
- configurable environments.

-
- Recent History:
-
- 1.3 (5.4.96)
- ------------
- New: MUI version included. Requires MUI3.0+.
-
- New: Change program settings like current directory directly from the
- command string gadget. For example, enter ";cd Ram:".
-
- New: Added ADDTOCOMMAND ShellBench project tooltype, appends project
- name to command as well as the names of shift-selected icons.
-
- New: Special value PUBSCREEN=FRONTMOST to put window on front screen,
- if public.
-
- New: By setting HISTORYLINES to 0 and HISTORYFILE to an existing
- history file, you can keep a 'static' history to which no new commands
- will be added. This lets you use the history like the F-keys.
-
- New: Options window now opens centred on main window, if open, but
- always retains previous size, if set by user.
-
- New: Boolean tooltype WINDOWMOUSE makes ShellBench main window always
- open under mouse pointer, rather than re-open at last position. This
- is overridden by WINDOWLEFT/TOP/WIDTH (BGUI version only).
-
- New: Current directory is now displayed in main window title bar.
-
- Bug fix: Corrected bugs in Options window AppWindow handling that
- caused gadgets not to be updated when an icon was dropped, and would
- cause memory leaks if multiple icons were dropped.
-
- Bug fix: Fixed matching of names to match in target current directory,
- rather than ShellBench's current directory.
-
- Bug fix: ShellBench should now be able to find its icon when run from
- a Shell with a qualified name eg. "Run Work:Utils/ShellBench".
-
- Changed: Removed Ctrl-C to quit, as KingCON windows opened by
- ShellBench when launching a command somehow broadcast the signal back
- to ShellBench and would make it quit.
-
- Changed: Options window now fixes gadget heights, putting space
- between gadgets.
