- Description:
-
- FilerFix is a module which changes Filer's action when Ctrl is pressed.
- Normally when you open a filer window, Ctrl is checked as the window opens.
- If it is pressed then Filer_Boot is suppressed for the objects within that
- directory. The problem is that it's all too easy to double click on the
- directory then remember how long it's going to take to start up. By this
- time you're too late, because Filer only checks Ctrl immediately after you
- double-click. FilerFix watches for Ctrl all the time and sets the appropriate
- flag in Filer workspace when it sees it. The upshot is that you can press
- Ctrl at any time after double-clicking to suppress Filer_Boots. Again this
- checks the Filer module version and refuses to run if the version isn't that
- used in RISC OS 3.11.
