- I am sick of the ugly looking non-proportional text viewers. So I decided to
- write my own viewer that would be font-sensitive, and blend in with all your
- other nice patches, as so not to spoil the look and feel of your Workbench.
-
- Well I was sick of non-proportional text viewers until I made horizontal
- scrolling in this version. Now EvenMore doesn't support proportional fonts. But
- IMHO, even though EvenMore isn't as powerful as the rest, it still looks far
- nicer than the competition, and is increasing in functionality at every release.
-
- Here are the main features of 0.58
- ----------------------------------
-
- o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
- o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes opening files easy. Not only can you
- drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear!
- o Totally font sensitive.
- o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring settings.
- o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them.
- o Can create it's own public screen to run on.
- o ARexx port for remote control.
- o Supports the numeric keypad, mouse and wheel mouse movement.
- o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
- o String and pattern finding functions with search hilighting, including file
- and directory search.
- o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document.
- o Quick load listview for opening documents fast.
- o Configurable GUI for quick access to features.
- o File loading uses AsyncIO for speed.
- o Can open multiple files. Up to 1000 files can be stored in memory.
- o Help available by pressing the help key.
- o Gadget help bubbles.
- o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs.
- o Automatic conversion of AmigaGuide files to plain text.
- o Supports ANSI Escape code sequences!
- o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
- o Can use Asl or ReqTools library for filerequesters.
- o Option to save the file.
- o Send the file to an editor.
- o Print the file.
- o Conifurable information bar.
- o Execute commands or open a shell on the window.
- o XPK compression supported.
- o File history menu.
- o Locale support.
- o Clipboard support.
- o Supports plugin modules!
-
- and more...
-
- Here are the recent features
- ----------------------------
-
- o Added borderless window option to Window page in GUI.
- o Added a snazzy 3d title to the window when it is borderless.
- Also added a 3d sizing bit to the corner where the size gadget
- is. Looks neat.
- o Now supports NewIcons directly!
- o Uses titlebar.image class for the iconify gadget, so now the iconify gadget
- will be standardized to look like all your other system gadgets! Thanks to
- Massimo Tantignone for the code.
- o Converted my Amiga Guide 2 Text PROC into a plugin, which is loaded
- externally. Hopefully I will be able to have a preference page for plugins,
- and people will be able to write their own plugins for EvenMore!
- o Removed clunky icon gadget preferences. Just have a string gadget for the
- directory for icons to use now. You will need to reconfigure your settings.
- o Added a new plugins page in the info window, which will display information
- about all plugins loaded.
- o Possibly fixed a long standing bug in the quickload requester. Was cleaning
- the GUI with an invalid pointer.
- o Was doing something silly. Running the plugins after I had set the amount
- of lines in the text, so if your plugin created a file with extra lines,
- it could crash.
- o Wrote a word wrapping plugin. With this installed, all text will
- automatically be wrapped at 80 characters. This helps loads with Amiga guide
- converted texts, which can be quite long! Still need to think about whether
- to check for ANSI code text/TAB text in wrapping?
- o Windows now centre on main EvenMore window.
-
- There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs
- before you delete as soon as you set your eyes on it.
-
- All hints, tips, examples of code, etc., will be appreciated!

- I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a

- any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
