Deluxe Replacement for WB2+ Info
.description
ExtraInfo is a replacement for the Workbench "Information" function,
and adds a great deal of functionality on top. I wrote it because I
was sick of squinting at that tiny topaz-8 font in a window without
keyboard shortcuts that is Commodore's original offering. ExtraInfo
does *not* require OS3 like all the others, since I'm still getting by
with OS2. That does mean, however, that it doesn't patch the WBInfo()
library function: you have to run it like a normal program.\n
ExtraInfo uses the excellent BGUI library by Jan van den Baard to
provide font-sensitive, keyboard-controllable gadgets in a resizeable
window. You'll find the full package on AmiNet in directory dev/gui.\n
Version 1.1:\n
- Fixed Enforcer hits on File Info page.\n
- No longer disables paste button when tooltypes list is empty.\n
- Forgot to optimize - saves 1K.\n
Summary of Features:\n
o Can be started from Workbench or Shell.\n
o Edit tooltypes, with Insert, Toggle, Duplicate and Remove buttons.
Also arrange their order with Top, Bottom, Up and Down, and
cut/copy/paste them to/from the clipboard.\n
o Comprehensive file, volume and icon information.\n
o Displays file version ID strings and file type (using WhatIs
library, by Sylvain Rougier and Pierre Carrette, not included).\n
o Strip or add bitplanes to icon images - useful for reducing size of
icon file and eliminating image corruption in faulty icons.\n
o UnSnapshot icon position and swap pens 1 and 2 (black and white,
called "ReColor" in IconEdit).\n
o AppWindow support - drop icons on window to show info for them.
Also: drop icons on special image box to replace existing icon
imagery. It is also possible to add icons to files this way.\n
o AppIcon option, with user-definable imagery and placement.\n
o Opens on the default public screen, optionally on a named one.\n
o Font-sensitive gadget layout in resizeable windows using BGUI
library: uses the screen's default font. Option to override and
specify font.\n
o Option to specify tooltypes listview font.\n
o All gadgets have keyboard shortcuts.\n
o Installer script included.\n
o AmigaGuide documentation, available on-line.\n
o Locale support for presenting all text and messages in the user's
preferred language, plus option to override and specify language.\n
