- Description:
-
- ProFiler is a replacement Filer for the desktop, that contains all the
- functionality of the ROM-Filer and more. This is a demo version. Read the
- !Help file to find out how to get the full version.
-
- List of main features:
-
- * Rename-in-place (Alt-click on object).
- * Access-in-place (Alt-click on attributes).
- * Select files in several viewers at once.
- * Very fast viewer update, uses Wimp_BlockCopy.
- * Hang-clicking is supported (and optional).
- * Objects can be hidden from view.
- * CTRL-open is not forgotten about.
- * A status bar can show the size of your selection.
- * Booting of applications happens in the background.
- * Updates relevant files when a filetype sprite becomes available.
- * The width of the objects is properly calculated, and the widest
- object sets the standard in the viewer. This applies to both the
- name and the sprite.
- * Key shortcuts for the majority of functions. Also things that are
- not in the menus, like moving around in the viewer and running
- objects.
- * Key shortcuts are fully definable, and unused shortcuts can be
- used for external utilities.
- * The input focus will never be 'stolen' from another application,
- unless explicitly told to do so.
- * A large number of things are customisable.
- * Module is about 48K, written exclusively in assembler.
- * Third-party extension modules for providing thumbnails for
- objects. JPEG, Draw, Sprite and ARMovie clients included.
- * Extended full-info display: Turn columns on and off or switch them
- around.
- * All of the choices for a viewer can be stored locally for that
- viewer.
- * Seperate options for each file-operation, eg. turn on Confirm for
- delete, but not for everything else.
- * Cache system for thumbnails, and option to save pieces of the
- cache in the places where it will be needed.
- * Service calls, wimp messages and SWIs allow applications to take
- advantage of the Filer's extended abilities.
- * System variables allow easy extensions without having to program.
