- __________
-
- Made various changes so that AppsToGo would build in MPW, THINK, and CodeWarrior.
- A big change was the way that "#pragma segment", since CodeWarrior pays attention
- to "#pragma segment" statements. The new method for "#pragma segment" is that it
- is used conditionally only for MPW, and then only at the top of each source file.
- If you need different "#pragma segment" handling, it is up to you.
-
- __________
-
- Since Metrowerks support in AppsToGo is new, there is a read-me documnt called
- "! AppsToGo//CW build info" that you should follow when installing AppsToGo for
- Metrowerks. Disregard any portion that you wish, but the installation described
- in that documnt does work.
-
- __________
-
- Added Metrowerks project files. There are three:
- 1) 68k
- 2) PPC
- 3) FAT
-
- The FAT project file is just in the AppWannabe folder as a sample of what you might
- want to do for other projects in terms of easily building fat applications.
-
- __________
-
- Created three PartMaker documents for adding new document types, dialog types, and
- palette types. The PartMaker documents are there to "hopefully" make creation of
- new types an easier and more straightforward process. (It seems to work.)
-
- __________
-
- Added preferences support to the AppsToGo library. AppWannabe uses this new AppsToGo
- facility. You just include the preferences library into your project, add a few calls
- to Start.c, and you're set.
-
- There is a change to the AppsToGo editor to support this. The "Preserve Doc Screen Location"
- checkbox used to be tied to the state of the "Runtime-Only Document" checkbox. Since
- the screen location was saved as part of the document, to preserve screen location, you
- used to have to have your document be disk-based. Now with the preferences facility,
- you can have Runtime-Only documents (non-disk-based documents) keep their screen
- location and visibility status. This is especially nice for palettes. They can be
- automatically re-opened where the user had placed them. Also, if the user had hidden
- a palette, when the application is started up again, it will still be hidden.
-
- To mark a Runtime-Only document so that it preserves its screen location/state, just
- set the "Preserve Doc Screen Location" checkbox true. If this checkbox is true, AND
- if "Runtime-Only Document" is true, AND if the application includes the preferences
- library, AND if the application makes a call to ReadPreferences at startup, then
- screen locations will be preserved and managed automatically by the framework.
- (AppWannabe does all of this. Just as an example, the About Box has been set to
- preserve its screen location.)
-
- __________
-
- An on-line reference manual (called AppsToGo Reference) application with hypertext jumps
- for all of AppsToGo has been added to the AppsToGo offering. You can locate via the
- entire API, or by sub-API. It also has search capability. While the feature set is minimal,
- it gets the job done. (Hey, cut me some slack. I wrote it in 25 hours.) If you don't like
- the human-interface, let me know, but it will probably stay that way for a while.
