Again, this is primarily a maintenance release to fix some minor "bugs", including one with printing, as well as improving the speed of list format conversion (to or from FileList 1.4 format).
One change that will effect those users who export text from FileList+ is now, whenever text is exported, it will represent sizes in bytes, not K Bytes, no matter what format is chosen for display.
This solves a problem with spreadsheat and database programs reading in values with the letter "K" appended to them.
FileList+ Version 1.0b17 Release Notes
=======================================
This is primarily a maintenance release to fix a bug caused by the new Think C compiler. The bug was causing Compactor archive data to be shifted by one byte, distorted everything but file names.
Other changes include a change to the find controls that made them independent for each window, and the use of Geneva font for the Volume and Path fields in the Files window.
FileList+ Version 1.0b16 Release Notes
=======================================
This version gives a new look and feel to FileList+. Many operations have been speeded up, and less unnecessary redrawing of the screen is performed. Also, the select field has been changed - the field is now fixed in the left column of the window with a diamond symbol indicating if a record is selected. This allows you to see if a record is selected even when you've scrolled over to see the path or whatever. Save as Text with Save Select Field option enabled will insert the Selected status as the first field output, placing a bullet in the field for each record that is selected.
The menus where changed extensively to reorganize them in a more logical, and consise manner. Some new menu command keys where added, for General Options (command-U), and Find Previous (command-B). Also, command-A now means Select All Records. Find Again was changed to command-G. A new menu item was added for setting the windows to Tiles.
Other new features include a date filter added to the File Filter Options, Display Option for displaying file size in K bytes, Text file Creator option to the Options… dialog, marking secondary sort-by field in menu with a diamond symbol, changed cmd-click on file record to select all files in the current files folder AND sub-folders, was just same folder. Also added cmd-option-click (2cd Parent modifier keys) on file record to select all files in the current files Parent's folder AND sub-folders, made all click - modifiers user selectable via the General Options menu item.
Many bug fixes are included, but none of them where fatal bugs. Bug fixes include one in Compare File Versions to show version number with letter appended as newer than one without, for example 4.0a is newer than 4.0, Also, bugs were cleared up in Save Text, auto-scroll, font menus, reducing file size, sort by path, and many others.
User's Manual has been updated and released in separate upload/download file. Balloon help has also been updated.
FileList+ Version 1.0b15 Release Notes
=======================================
This version fixed more bomb-type bugs with 68000 machines such as SEs, Plus' and Classics, as well as other less severe bugs with Text Export options, Find, delete, Fonts and window titles. Sorry about the 68000 problems, they are hard to spot when developing on a Mac II! I'm trying to do more testing on Mac SE's before release.
Now maintains sorted list when Rename Volume, Delete Volume, Delete files, Save As Old Format and most other operations are performed.
Deleted file records (deleted from files window) are no longer actually remove data from database until a Save, Save As, Save As Old Format, scan, or Merge is performed. Instead, they are just marked as deleted until one of these operation is performed, or until they are unmarked by entering the Undo command.
Improved speed of menus, automatic suppression of the version field if no version information is in the current list, Options button in Save Text standard file dialog, Option click on file name, type or creator to put that files name, type or creator into the search parameter.
Changed search path for FileList+ Options file at application launch, now looks first in application's folder.
When a scan is canceled, no longer ejecting the disk.
