All rights reserved. * * * * (Most recent changes at the top) * * * * Please note that this file goes into a lot of technical detail * * just ignore anything you don't understand. :-) * * * * * *************************************************************************** ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 9 (20.6.2001) ------------------------------- - More code cleaned up. Removed lots of #ifdefs. - Cleaner debug handling. - Prefs are now stored in ENVARC:Voodoo-X. Existing settings are moved there. - Voodoo-X will now whinge and quit if it can't find ENVARC: at startup. - Memory debugging routines cleaned up and simplified. - WinSettings_TB_ListKill() hook had a small memory leak which was caused by the compiler producing bad code (it seems). :-/ - Dir entries weren't being freed in the AE tree, causing a major memory leak inside the pool. This would make the program eat up lots of memory the longer you ran it, as many memory puddles weren't given back to the system. - Fixed some memory leaks in the portion button handling code. - Portion buttons now start counting from 1, in line with the portion menu. - The password window was using GUI_SleepyWindows(TRUE) on exit, thus causing the GUI to block all user input making the program useless. - FTYPES_Init() was using TRUE instead of FTYPESSTATE_ON when setting the default multiview filetype. This had the effect of disabling it. Fixed. - Default multiview command string now has quotes wrapped around the arg. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 8 (12.6.2001) ------------------------------- - Cleaned up signal handling. Removed some unneeded routines. - Cleaned up some GUI related routines. - Renamed some routines to make more sense and improve readability. - Removed GUI_InitMUI()/GUI_EndMUI() these routines were pointless. - Made links and e-mail addresses in the About window clickable. If openurl.library is present, then links are sent to your desired e-mail client or web browser. Also added a link to Dirk's website. - Added small menu that holds the last 20 recently accessed archives. This should not be confused with the Archive History List, which holds currently loaded archives. The recent list is retained after Voodoo-X quits and allows quick access to archives in the next Voodoo-X session. - Gadgets are ghosted on the main window now when no archive is loaded. - Now pops up a small error requester when attempting to use multi-select features on Listtree. - Now reports if a file format is unknown. - Added proper MCC version checking and reporting. - Archive information window now shows any embedded text stored in disk archives (i.e. DMS information texts). - Quotes are now supported in filetype viewer command strings. - Update Toolbar button has been removed for now. Some last minute bugs & internal design issues meant this couldn't be properly implemented without lots of spare time. I'll get round to it in v1.6. ;-) - Select All/None/Pattern now work under NListtree. - Added an upper limit to the amount of buttons that can be in the toolbar. - You can now run executables inside archives, just by double clicking on them. Voodoo-X will first ask you if you really want to do this. - Parent archive button now works under NListtree viewmode. - The state of the "Keep full path intact" option was being ignored when extracting files under Nlisttree viewmode. - Only files can be selected in the NListtree viewmode now. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 7 (4.6.2001) ------------------------------- - Removed double-click enforcer hit (fast double click on open/close image while in NListtree). - DoMethod() was being called on an NList (Client Info window) object that had been disposed. This caused a major crash on shutdown on some setups. Fixed. - Doesn't popup a hundred requesters now when some toolbar images can't be loaded. :-) ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 6 (3.6.2001) ------------------------------- - Portion buttons aren't redrawn again when selecting a different portion. Might fix reported crash. - Viewmode -> NListTree -> Close All now works. - Implemented the archive information window. - If temporary dir creation fails, VX now reports why. Also added name rollover code if name already exists. - When aborting extraction, VX wasn't removing the temp file entry from the temp list, thus incorrectly reporting that a temp file couldn't be delete on shut down. - If a toolbar image fails to load, it now specifies the filename which it attempted to load. - Internal toolbar defaults now look for correct image paths. - No longer expects "Images/Default.iff" to be present. - Entries are now sorted correctly in linear view mode. File part of the filename was being compared instead of the full path. - xadConvertDates() is now allowed to fail. VX won't complain. - Removed old braindead toolbar implementation. Added new and improved version. - Some strings cleaned up. - First entry in the Toolbar list is now selected upon loading a new toolbar. - Protection column was sometimes showing trash in Listtree view mode for dir entries. Fixed. - Changing the destination path via Shell now updates the destination history list. - Toolbar images don't default to small now. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 5 (24.4.2001) ------------------------------- - Lister hooks now check for NULL name pointers. This should help avoid some potential Enforcer hits. - Internal: Merged together some modules for faster compilation. - Toolbar settings page now uses the SpeedBar config object. - Added update button to the toolbar settings page which updates the toolbar atrributes on the main window. - Loading a directory by mistake would produce an incorrect error string. - CFG_Get() is now inline, since it was only one line long anyway. - Doesn't throw up the error window for XADERR_BREAK or XADERR_SKIP return codes anymore. - Progress hook now handles XADPIF_OVERWRITE. A requester is now displayed if destination file already exists. - Re-enabled the code for Open Archive, in the Search window. - Revamped the toolbar loading scheme. - Added buffering to the history file loading. - History text file is only loaded when the About window is opened, not at startup. - Tree building is just a tiny bit faster. - Removed the first pass from the tree building process. It was broken anyway and caused the "double-entries" bug. This also speeds things up. VX now effectively ignores XADFIF_DIRECTORY entries, this means some attributes are lost for dir entries. I'll fix this in the future. - Removed a s**t load of Enforcer hits. - Removed some dead code that was only causing Enforcer hits! - More code cleaned up. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 4 (29.3.2001) ------------------------------- - Client information window now shows the amount of clients available. - Added another column to the Client Info lister called Type. This shows client types as File, Disk or FS. - Trigger hooks for the toolbar are now active. This basically means the buttons for the new toolbar system now work. :-) - Added a "Close" button to the default toolbar layout. - TB_GetActionNumFromStr() was using the wrong array. Whoops. This resulted in toolbar definitions loading incorrectly and producing spacers instead of buttons. - Re-enabled the code for the root and parent buttons. - Re-enabled the code for the linear viewmode. - Client information description lister is now read only. - Client flags are now more human readable. - xadclients.guide is only loaded when the Client Info window is opened. This makes life faster. - A progress window is now opened when processing the xadclients.guide. - When an archive with multiple portions is loaded, an array of buttons is added to the main window. These buttons, like the Portions Menu, allows quick access to each portion. - URLs and Nodes inside the client description are now clickable. Clicking on a URL requires openurl.library version 3 or better. - First entry in the Client Info lister is now activated when window is opened. - Merged author and e-mail Client Info fields into a single button, which when clicked on will allow the user to contact the client author via e-mail. Requires openurl.library. - Now requires version 10 of xadmaster.library. - Version window now shows version of NListtree.mcc and openurl.library. - Updated the About window's credits. - Removed a stupid loop bug in the Client Guide loader. - Doesn't complain anymore about multi-portion archives being empty. - Removed some unneeded code. - NListtree hooks are now active. Which means the NListtree viewmode now works, though multiselect is yet to be implemented. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 3 (24.3.2001) ------------------------------- - Removed some (all?) Enforcer/MuForce hits from the Client Info module. - The About window now shows the history file. This requires Voodoo-X.history to be in Voodoo-X's home directory. - General bug fixes and some code cleaned up. - The Client Info window now shows client nodes which aren't in the xadclients.guide file but are defined in the header (i.e. errors made by Stuart :-). Also indicates those clients which aren't documented at all in xadclients.guide. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 2 (20.3.2001) ------------------------------- - The virus checking operation went ahead, even if xvs.library was not present. Fixed. - Voodoo-X now requires version 9 of xadmaster.library. - Updated the Client information Window. VX now processes Stuart Caie's xad guide file. Simply copy xadclients.guide to VX's home directory. Doing so will show more information about each client in the client information window. -------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.5 BETA 1 (15.10.2000) -------------------------------- - Implemented support for Carsten Scholling's NListtree.mcc. - Added support for Simone Tellini's SpeedBar MUI class. Toolbar is now fully configurable via the Settings window. - GUI_InitMUI() now uses GUI_Popup() instead of M_PrgError(). - Added new option "Show requesters before extraction?" to the settings window. Requested by Jack York. - Added more archive suffixes to the archive search engine. Including those used by Stuart Caie's (aka Kyzer) xad clients. Thanks to Stuart for sending them. - Added a tooltype called ARCSEARCHPAT. This tooltype allows users to specify an AmigaDOS pattern which can be used to force Voodoo-X to extract and attempt to enter embedded archives with unknown/weird suffixes, when searching. - Read bit is set and delete bit is cleared when viewing files or checking for viruses. Thanks to Stuart Caie for pointing this out. - Loading an empty archive locked up the system or produced unpredictable results. Fixed. Thanks to Stuart Caie for pointing this out. - Improved the sorting routines, now a little faster. - Decided to overhaul the initial archive tree building process after being persuaded to do so by Stuart Caie. The old algorithm worked fine but slowed down terribly when a large archive was loaded (i.e. 5000 files plus). The new algorithm offloads many sorting, date, string parsing calculations until they are actually required. Calculations are now performed on demand. As a result, tree building is around 90% faster in most cases. - Added more Shell arguments DEST/K, PRI=PRIORITY/N/K & VM=VIEWMODE/K. DEST allows you to specify a new destination path, PRI allows you to change the Process priority and VIEWMODE lets you alter the archive ViewMode. Use keyword "LIN" for Linear Mode, "FD" for Files And Dirs Mode or "TREE" for Tree Mode. - Voodoo-X now requires version 8 of xadmaster.library. - Copy/move archive file requesters showed wrong title under some systems. Fixed. - diskfont.library was being opened when it wasn't really required. - Tree building is now performed on demand. So if you load 100 archives, the internal tree will only be built when you want to view that particular archive. This also makes multiple archive loading many times faster and saves on memory. - Added a low memory handler that will flush all non-essential memory allocations in the event of genuine low memory situation. Allocation requests bigger than 0x00ffffff are treated as deliberate flushes and thus ignored. - File entries with unknown lengths now show "unknown" in the size column instead of 0. Thanks to Stuart Caie for pointing this out - If final file size is unknown during extraction, the progress window shows the amount of bytes processed so far instead of the amount to go. - Improved the temporary file creation routines. Files extracted for viewing are now extracted with their full name intact, inside a unique drawer. This makes life a little less confusing because now your viewer will not receive files named like VX.1a2b3c4d.0001 anymore. It also looks nicer for those single-file clients that base their extracted filename on the input archive filename, when entering embedded archives. Thanks to Stuart Caie for pointing this out. - Voodoo-X now set its current directory when launched from WB. - The build tree process now uses two passes. The first pass scans and collects attributes from any present directory entries and the second contructs the actual tree itself. This fixes a problem in earlier versions where directory attributes like dates and comments were not shown. - Implemented support for multiple archive portions. Archives that contain more than one segment (like multiple sub-filesystems) can now be accessed via the new Portion Menu. I nearly broke my fingers after two days of typing and source code restructuring, just to implement this. :-) - Major source code restructuring. *************************************************************************** Voodoo-X 1.4 Release (6.6.2000) *************************************************************************** - Fifth public release (small update with bug fixes). ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.4 BETA 1 (30.5.2000) ------------------------------- - Added some work around code that will catch dir entries that don't have their XADFIF_DIRECTORY bit set (affected some ZIP archives). - Changed the layout of this history text file again. :-) - Fixed two bugs with the Pattern window. Firstly, directory entries were being totally ignored and secondly, pattern matching was being perform on the full archive path of the file and not the name alone. This caused pattern strings like "a#?" to yield incorrect matches. - Embedded archives smaller than 32768 bytes couldn't be viewed when doubled clicked on. Fixed. - Error window can now be closed during extraction, virus checking, etc. - Search window progress bars now update on all search methods. - Optimized the Progress Window routines a little. - Cleaned up some code. *************************************************************************** Voodoo-X 1.3 Release (24.5.2000) *************************************************************************** - Fourth public release. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.3 BETA 5 (21.5.2000) ------------------------------- - Added a "Parent Archive" button to the Tree view mode. - When switching between view modes, user is alerted if group object creation fails. - Parent/Root/etc buttons are now disabled when not needed. - Added a work around for "Close All" tree nodes, which didn't seem to work properly, probably due to a bug in Listtree.mcc, I'm not sure. - Voodoo-X will now exit gracefully if it can't find NList.mcc or Listtree.mcc (instead of leaving a half constructed window on the screen). - Fixed some pre-MUI error report problems that were being directed to the error window before the MUI application was initialized. - Some minor cosmetic changes. - Task priority is now set at 0. - The amount of selected entries in the status bar was not being updated when the user clicked on a directory. Fixed. - Changed program status to GIFTWARE. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.3 BETA 4 (20.5.2000) ------------------------------- - The close window gadget in the progress window now works. - Removed some old obsolete wbstart.library code. - Removed code for VIEWER tooltype. The filetypes system makes this obsolete. - Some more internal optimizations. - List positions are new kept when browsing in and out of directories. - When scanning for viruses, files are now extracting directly to memory instead of T:, this should speed up scanning. Especially for those people who have T: assigned to HD. VX will still write the file to T:, but only if it's too big to fit in memory. - Upon opening the main window, the archive string gadget is now activated. - When configuring settings and filetypes, the cursor proceeds to the next string gadget when Return is hit inside a string gadget. - The Extract All confirm window was showing the wrong path when extracting from embedded archives. - The location of temporary files is now configurable. - The popup drawer requesters in the Settings Window now opens in save mode. This allows the creation of directories on the fly (via ASL). - Optimized the extract loop a little. - When extracting selected files, sometimes the first letter was missing from the name (path string positions are now calculated per node when the directory tree for an archive is constructed). This only affected people extracting files without full path. Now fixed. - Fixed Halil's name in the about window. Sorry about that! :-) - The user can now change the view mode via the Settings menu. - Implemented support for Listtree. Ouch! That was a lot work. :-) - Removed the archive view mode from the settings menu. It's not needed anymore. - Removed the follow deselection code from the extract routine. Keeping this in didn't make sense since VX actually extracts in XAD's internal order and not the order of the user's selection. As a side effect, extraction will be a little faster since the lister doesn't have to be updated. - On shutdown, user wasn't being alerted to undeleted temporary files. Fixed. - Fixed a problem with the Setting window's tick gadgets. Notify was being triggered on MUIA_Pressed and not MUIA_Selected, thus diverting some object notifications straight to hell. Whoops. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.3 BETA 3 (25.4.2000) ------------------------------- - Public beta release (third release). - ARC_GetArcPathComponents() was modifying the arcpath parameter, causing paths to be truncated in the search lister after double clicking on them. The arcpath parameter string now get copied into it's own vector. - ARC_LoadNewArchive() now returns the node pointer to the last loaded embedded archive, instead of the main archive itself. This fixes the problem in 1.3 BETA 2 that prevent the viewing of embedded archive entries in the search window. - Cleaned up this history text file a little. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.3 BETA 2 (20.4.2000) ------------------------------- - On shutdown, the STR module was attempting to free an allocation after the main pool had been deleted. Fixed. Thanks to Dirk for reporting the hit. - Brought back the old parent button. - Altered multipart archive window text. - Removed most of the internal GUI abstraction layer, the GUI module is now less bloated plus GUI updates are slightly faster. - Some more minor cosmetic changes. - Fixed the object cycle chain. You can now use the tab key to activate each gadget on the GUI. - Removed the "Clear Archive History..." menu item, now replaced with "Close all..". - Voodoo-X now looks for version 6 of xadmaster.library. - Menu shortcut letter "e" is now used for opening the error window and not "MUI Settings...". - New error scheme introduced. Errors don't block the current operation with a requester, but instead are logged into an error window. This is especially handy when lots of errors happen at once, you don't have to close hundreds of requesters - one after the other. - XAD v6 client flag XADCF_NOCHECKSIZE is now shown in the XAD client info window. - Implemented the search window. - Removed error counter code from the extract code, it's not really needed with the new error window scheme. - Temporary filenames now use the suffix (if available) from the original filename when viewing. This allows users to use viewers that depend on suffix matching. - Cleaned up and removed some unneeded error printing routines. - Embedded archives are now represented with a ":-->" instead of the "-->" symbol, this reduces the chance of a name clash when parsing paths internally, since AmigaDOS won't allow an archive to have a ":" (colon) in filenames. - Rewrote most of ARC_LoadNewArchive(), simplified and improved code. Path strings with embedded archives pointers (i.e. ":-->") are now handled automatically. Which means the user can type in path path such as "Archive.lha :--> Embedded.lha" into the Archive string gadget and Voodoo-X will automatically load each embedded archive. - Added shorthand embedded archive path pointers ("::") processing to the Archive string gadget. The user can type in a path string like "Archive.lha::Embedded.lha" and this will automatically be expanded to "Archive.lha :--> Embedded.lha". Saves some typing. :) - Settings requester was not being deallocated on exit. Fixed. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.3 BETA 1 (20.3.2000) ------------------------------- - All routines that access the temporary file list check to see if it's valid before preceding. This prevents an enforcer hit when program startup fails. Thanks to Allan Odgaard for reporting the hit. - Archives can now be dropped onto Voodoo-X's AppIcon, while it's iconified. Added at the request of Vit Sindlar. - The parent button has been changed to a long tall button that is located immediately to the right of the main lister. This should make archive browsing more convenient. Added at the request of Allan Odgaard. - Moved "Settings..." and "Settings MUI..." into their own menu called "Settings". This is more Style-guide compliant. This new menu also allows the user to load and save settings from and to alternative destinations. - Finally removed the need for wbstart.library (and workbench.library) when launching programs. Voodoo-X now clones the path list of the Workbench process and passes this to SystemTags() when running under the context of Workbench. This also has the bonus side effect of allowing WB-replacement DOpus users running OS 3.5 to start programs. :-) The old implementation was broken with DOpus users. :-( - Implemented filetypes configuration into the settings window. Filetypes get their own module. - Error requesters are shown if either settings or filetype saving fails. - Settings window now has it's own set of menus, for loading/saving/ appending settings and filetypes. - Implemented support for multipart archives. The implementation is rudimentary, you cannot drag & drop multipart archives from WB nor can you view embedded multipart archives (you need to extract each segment first), etc. - Menu shortcut "m" is now used for the "Open multipart archive..." menu item instead of "About MUI...". - Added some commonly used menu items as button on the main window. Added at the request of a few people. - The Pattern Window's string gadget is automatically made the active object when the user opens the window. - You can now sort individual columns by clicking on the NList title bar. - Added two arrow buttons that will allow the user to navigate through the archive history list. Shortcut keys for these arrows are "-" and "+". - User can now choose to keep full path intact when extracting selected entries. - If archive copying or moving fails, the DOS error code and description is shown. - Cleaned up some of the source. - Confirm overwrite routine now checks for delete protection and prompts user if present. - Archive copy and move routines now show a progress bar. - Progress routines now scale 32 bit quantities into a percentage, because MUI's Gauge class only accepts 16 bits. This should stop progress bar from getting corrupt when viewing/copying/moving files. - Voodoo-X no longer shows garbage in the DOS error requester when an unknown error is encountered. *************************************************************************** Voodoo-X 1.2 Release (5.3.2000) *************************************************************************** - Second public release. ------------------------------ Voodoo-X 1.2 BETA 4 (5.3.2000) ------------------------------ - Task priority was being set too high. - If there's an error during extraction, the correct filename is displayed. - When viewing entries, a progress window is now displayed, but only if the file is larger than 50K. - Passwords for individual files are now supported. - Menu items "Close" and "Clear archive history..." now remove all unused temporary files. - The close gadget for password window now works. - Version information for wbstart.library is now displayed again. - Implemented the remaining code for the new About Window. It now looks a lot nicer. :) - Removed a redundant and buggy routine that had the potential to fall into an endless loop while scanning the archive history list. - Made some more minor cosmetic changes. - Added a small routine to check for corrupt letters during extraction. It requires more work though. ------------------------------ Voodoo-X 1.2 BETA 3 (2.3.2000) ------------------------------ - If loading fails, the currently selected entry in the archive history list is kept. Added at the request of Dirk. - The progress window isn't always made the front most window now, because this lead to some strange situations where the progress window could hide error requesters from the user (making him even more confused :-). - Some minor (internal) changes to the list format. - Destination file requester now opens with the correct drawer path. - Downcoded some frequently called routines to assembly, as a result building a directory tree for an archive with over 7500 files is slightly faster (15 seconds on my 040/40Mhz). - Some various minor optimizations. - Pressing "Parent" in the root of an embedded archive brings you back to the parent archive. Added at the request of Dirk. - Voodoo-X now won't reloaded embedded archives that have already been loaded. - Opening up the archive file requester while an embedded is displayed now defaults to the path of the embedded archive's parent. This only works for archives embedded 1 level deep. The archive requester will default to T: for deeper archives (since T: is the current temporary extract path for all embedded archives). - If the user has OS 3.5 installed, Voodoo-X will not use wbstart.library anymore, to launch programs while under WB's context. Instead, Voodoo-X will take advantage of WB v44's new launch functions. Note: wbstart.library is still required for OS 3.1 systems or lower. - Voodoo-X now doesn't assume all files 901120 or 1802240 bytes in length are ADF files. If a file with one of these sizes is not really an ADF, Voodoo-X will check it to see if it's really an archive. Just my bad luck to encounter a TGZ archive that was exactly 1802240 in length. :-) - Before extracting, all entries will now be re-sorted back into XAD's internal order. This greatly speeds up extracting, especially when seeking into the archive. This will also speed up archives formats with (large) merge groups (i.e. LZX). Thanks to Dirk for pointing this out. - Implemented the password window. Encrypted archives can now be loaded. - ARC_IsArc() was forgetting to call xadFreeInfo(). I wasted many hours trying to track that one down. :-) ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.2 BETA 2 (24.2.2000) ------------------------------- - The main lister now shows protection bits. - When double clicking on an entry, the name and path of the program being launched is shown in the information & status gadget. - Move and copy operations now copy the archive's icon too, if it exists. - Added a check to ensure user can't copy or move an archive over itself. - Made some more minor cosmetic changes. - If an archive is deleted, it's icon is also deleted. - The user can now view archives inside archives. A lot of internal work was required to support this feature. - Type now indicates HD and DD ADF files, in status & info gadget. - Implemented the settings window and the internal config routines. - Cleaned up some of the help strings (also added some missing ones). - The main lister now uses images for drawers. - Added some more menu shortcuts at the request of JanRoger Haugan. - If there are more than 10 errors during file extraction, Voodoo-X will popup an error requester asking if the user want to abort. - Voodoo-X now uses file manager style archive browsing. All of the extract routines were recoded and many internal changes were made. Added at the request of JanRoger Haugan. - Added day name to main lister. Day, date and time now get their own columns in the main list. - Fixed another bug in GUI_Popup(), the routine now makes sure the application object hasn't been disposed, before opening the requester. If it has, an intuition requester will be used instead. - ARC_ExtractFile() now restores dates, comments and protection bits. - Destination string gadget now has a history list. This allows the user to quickly change destinations. - xadmaster.library version 5 is now required. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.2 BETA 1 (19.2.2000) ------------------------------- - HTML document now includes WIDTH and HEIGHT tags for inline images. - Added Thanks section to the HTML. - Lots of internal changes to the source. It should now be easier to compile on several compilers. - If Voodoo-X fails to launch a program, it now displays was context it was trying to launch that program on. - Fixed a startup bug regarding wbstart.library. A NULL lock was being passed in the WBArgs, causing wbstart.library to fail. Unfortunately I did not spot this bug because I'd installed Stephan Rupprecht's wbstart emulation, which hid the bug. Thanks to Bill for reporting this. *************************************************************************** Voodoo-X 1.1 Release (15.2.2000) *************************************************************************** - First public release. ------------------------------ Voodoo-X 1.1 BETA 4 (8.2.2000) ------------------------------ - Implemented support for xvs.library, also added a new menuitem called "Check for viruses". - Added copyright and version information for XVS to the About requesters. - Added new menuitem "About versions...". This gives version information on all currently loaded modules. Also removed old version text from the main About requester. - Added version information on NList and NListview MUI custom classes. - Updated webpage URL in the About window. - Fixed the Abort button, when extracting files. - The progress Abort button should be more responsive now. - "Copy to..." and "Move to..." file requesters now display the correct destination name. - When extracting the selected entries, the lister follows the selected entries by every page, not every entry. This means the lister scrolling looks nicer and requires less updates. - Status and information gadget is now cleared when user closes last archive. - Made some minor cosmetic changes. - When moving archives, Voodoo-X will rename the archive if destination file is on the same device. - muimaster.library was accidentally being opened/closed twice. ------------------------------ Voodoo-X 1.1 BETA 3 (6.2.2000) ------------------------------ - Fixed typo in bubble help for the archive path string gadget. - Change title "Archiver Name" in XAD client info window to "Client name". - Both the archive and destination ASL popup requesters now record their window positions. The current implementations are a bit hacky. :-/ - Voodoo-X no longer tries to extract and view links/dirs (with multiview), when the user double clicks on one. - When the user clicks once on a link entry, the status bar will show the real destination of that link. - Cleaned up some of the code, removed redundant variables, etc. - Added icon.library and tooltype handling code. - Added VIEWER tooltype. This parameter allows the user to specify an alternative viewer, when double clicking on an entry. If this tooltype is not present, then Voodoo-X will default to multiview. - All XAD error requesters now give more information. - Progress windows now display the current file being processed. - Extended (and renamed) Voodoo-X's internal IPC port. It now accepts simple commands like iconify, uniconify quit, etc. Also modified main event loop to handle quit events. - The status bar now shows the amount of selected files. - Added bold text styles to the status bar to make it more readable. - Menuitem "Select none" now clears the active entry too. - When a second Voodoo-X process is launched, the screen that the first one resides on is brought to front. This avoids confusion. - Voodoo-X now displays a progress window while sorting/displaying the entries of big archives (1000 entries+). This comes in handy when processing excessively big archives like HD backups, etc. - Added "Open..." and "Close" menu items to the "Archive" menu. - Cleaned up some GUI calls. - Added XADCF_FILESYSTEM flag recognition the client window, which is new for XAD version 5+. - Added code to make sure the progress window is always the front most window, when it has just been opened. ------------------------------ Voodoo-X 1.1 BETA 2 (4.2.2000) ------------------------------ - Fixed XAD copyright dates in the About requester. - Renamed "Save..." menuitem to "Copy to...". - Added "Move to..." menuitem. - Added checks for DD and HD ADFs. - Implemented "Copy to..." and "Move to..." menuitem code. - Implemented "Clear archive history..." menuitem code. - Implemented the archive delete code. The menuitem is now called "Delete from disk..." and has a new position in the menu. - Fixed a bug in GUI_Popup() that left intuition.library open if muimaster.library was not found on the system. - Made some cosmetic fixes to the popup help text, file requester titles, MUI titles, etc. - The main lister now shows file comments. - Added confirm requester to the "Extract all..." menu item. - Multiple copies of multiview can now be run, at the same time. - Implemented a more advanced temporary file allocation and removal system. - Archive extraction now has a progress window. - Added some overwrite confirm requesters. - Implemented "Select pattern..." window and it's code. - Added NList copyright information to the About window. - Multiview wasn't being launched correctly when Voodoo-X was launched under the Workbench's context, since no path was available. Voodoo-X now uses wbstart.library (optional) to overcome this. Later versions of Voodoo-X will also use workbench.library v44 to do this (that is, when my AmigaDev 2.1 CD arrives :-). - Added version information for wbstart.library in the About window. Also added copyright information. - About window was showing wrong revision of muimaster.library. - Recoded the WB/Shell arg processing. - Added simple IPC port for transferring args from one Voodoo-X process to another. This means there'll always be one Voodoo-X process running to avoid confusion. - Implemented XAD client information window. - Main lister now identifies and shows links. - Extract routine will now skip links. - The load routine will now check to see if an incoming archive is already in the archive history list, if so, it will activate that entry instead of loading the whole archive from disk again. This prevents useless clones filling up the history list. - Loading archives pops the main Voodoo-X window to front. This comes in handy when another Voodoo-X process is transferring it's args to it. ------------------------------- Voodoo-X 1.1 BETA 1 (27.1.2000) ------------------------------- - Initial BETA version.
