- Welcome to recent.library
-
- This is the first release of recent.library, a library
- that allows programmer to keep track of recently opened
- files to offer users "Open recent file..."-kind menus.
- The advantage you get from using this library instead of
- a self-made solution is beside the simplicity that the
- user will be able to access recent files from Workbench
- (as on Windoze).
-
- Features of recent.library are:
- - may be FREELY distributed with ANY program that uses it,
- be it PD, Freeware, Shareware or even commercial programs!
- - 100% assembler, so very small
- - keeps files divided in filetype groups if you have
- several recent lists to keep track of in your program
- (e.g. in a paint program for images, brushes, and palettes)
- - number of entries can be set for each group individually
- - automatically generates a "recent files" menu for you if
- you wish
- - loads and saves recent files lists automatically, you
- don't have to worry about this
- - with the upcoming Workbench tools users will be able to
- access recently used files from Workbench/DOpus, sorted
- by application or filetype.
- - written by a dedicated Amiga fan who won't jump ship,
- so the development will 100% continue
