- AF - The Archive Folder v. 0.32
- ===============================
-
- This is a beta and there is no warranty whatsoever.
- You will surely find a lot of bugs and I would appreciate
- if you would send me a note about them.
- This version is developed under Warp 4 but it has been tested
- under Warp 3 Connect too. I dont know how it will work under
- other versions of OS/2.
-
- If you define new archivers in the ARCHIVER.BB2 I would very
- much like if you send me a copy. Then I will include them in
- later distributions.
-
- The Archiver Registry (editarc.exe) is _very_ beta (alpha) and I
- strongly urge you to make a copy of your ARCHIVER.BB2. Dont call
- the backup copy ARCHIVER.BAK because editarc.exe will overwrite it.
- See install.txt for details about ARCHIVER.BB2 and Archiver Registry.
- Also all comments will be stripped from ARCHIVER.BB2.
- You cannot yet add or delete archiver entries, only edit the existing.
- If you want to add or delete any archivers you will have to manually
- edit the archiver.bb2 file. Archiver Registry *must* be run from the
- Same directory as Archive Folder.
-
- I would also enjoy if you send me a note that you are using
- AF thereby encouraging me to emprove it.
- AF is freeware but if you _really_ like it I will happily
- accept donations that will make me able me to keep on developing
- programs, e.g. developement tools, access to Internet (my
- subscription obsoletes in ½ a year), or other payments in kind ;-)

-
- Upcoming features
- =================
-
- - More options in the notebook (ideas?).
-
- - Language specific help.
-
- - Let user create new archiver.bb2 if it isn't found at startup.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Known bugs:
- ===========
-
- - Cannot make ARC and ARJ archivers work properly.
-
- - When using LH32 with the /v (VERBOSE) swithch the EA's are shown
- as the filenames with a preceding '+'. This sometimes makes some problems.
-
- - File names with spaces isn't handled correctly (Justin Cooksey).
- (Later:) To fix this I will have to change the format of the ARCHIVER.BB2
- file. I will eventually change the way to store archiver data but at this
- time it has low priority.
- Fix: Don't use long file names in archives :-)
-
- - Horrible Drag'n'Drop implementation :-( Files are extracted not only to
- the dropped on folder but also to the folder you last extracted to (and
- maybe to the folder of the original archive?) (Justin Cooksey).
- (This may be fixed now. Isn't tested enough so please let me know if there
- are any problems.)
-
- - The settings notebook isn't always sized correctly with resolutions other than
- 800x600 (Justin Cooksey).
-
- - When opening the properties notebook before the icons has been created in the
- container "Old size" and "Objects" on page 2 of the "Archive" section isn't
- shown correctly.
- Fix: Flip to another page and back again when the icons are created.
-
- - The "Undo" and "Default" buttons in the properties notebook are not used yet.
-
- - "Extract Selected" from the main menu doesn't work. Use Extract from the object
- menu instead.
