-
- I have released version 3.30 of AppBar to
-
- CICA (ftp.cica.indiana.edu),
- ph.tn.tudelft.nl,
- and garbo.uwasa.fi.
-
-
- AppBar is an icon-based program launcher.
-
- In AppBar 3.30 the following things are new,
- - ParamsXX= specify a optional parameter (DataFiles or StartUpParameters)
- given to a launched program.
- - SoundDirectory= specifies the default directory for the sound file browser.
- - AppBar supports multiple file Drag&Drop from the FileManager now. (It will
- launch a new instance of the buttonprogram for each file from the
- dropped filelist)
- - added QuickLoad button to quickly setup AppBar with drag&drop and to copy
- buttonsettings to other buttons.
- - added Run button, to launch program from a commandline.
- - added Maximum Size option (ShowModeXX = 3), to start program as large as
- possible, with leaving AppBar visible.
- - added dialogbox asking to save current position after moving AppBar.
- - improved close function, closing program can ask for saving data first
- before terminating. (Thanks to Erkki Riekkola for providing crucial source).
- - added new AppBar utility AppMore, which can launch different programs in
- different instances.
- - added Tip for AppBar, a trashcan utility, written by Bernt Ribbum.
- - increased maximum of buttons to 48.
- - made AppBar restartable when it is Shell.
- - AppBar will execute options given to win.com when it is Shell.
- - Added minimize button. When AppBar is minimized just doubleclick on icon
- to restore AppBar.
- - abandoned difficult Buttons/Columns settings. Now blank buttons are added
- to get enough buttons for the specified number of Columns.
-
- Ware?
- This Software is UserWare, no registration, no nothing, just a program to
- increase the joy of using Windows.
