- Improvements + Things coming soon...
- ====================================
-
- A decent set of 3D iconz, if I get the time ... :-(
-
- Updates to Version 1.00 - Bugfixes etc. :-)
- ===========================================
-
- About v. 1.08 (22/9/93)
-
- Got the CLI to sort the filetypes numerically. Recounted the
- number of filetypes and was 2 out.
-
- First version sent to the DATAFILE (and I got 5 free discs for
- it! Cheers Dave & Sue!)
-
- Total Number = 153
-
- v. 1.09 (25/9/93)
-
- Got more discs from the DataFile today.... More Iconz to add.
- Retyped file "CCC" from T Cooper (I originally found it in his
- excellent game Gyrinius II) to DietSprite, after getting
- Riscy Business's compaction programme, !Squish.
-
- Total Number = 168
-
- v. 1.10 (10/2/93)
-
- Finally upgraded to RISC OS 3.11 today. Added 'correct' names for
- some OS 3 files (namely Serial? to Device), and added Cache to the
- list.
-
- Total Number = 176
-
- v. 1.13 (4/10/93)
-
- Patch (Acorn RISC OS 3 Patcher) - FC3, Cache - FCF, and
- MIDI - FD4 added.
-
- !Help file "HelpReader'd" with Ben Summers "HelpGen" Program.
- The big question is - Has Ben moved or not? That address was dated
- 28/4/91. When I find a more recent address for you Ben, I will send
- you a copy of this application. If you are reading this Ben, write
- to me! Hopefully I should be able to find a later address for you
- soon!
-
- Total Number = 179
-
- v. 2.00 (8/10/93) ** All New Version **
-
- Well, it has had a couple more filetypes added (around 370 odd!),
- and the help system has been splitted up and Un - Helpreadered
- (This document gets updated too much to make re - compilation
- worthwhile evry update). I took John Kortink's example, and
- directoried it. Impressionisation may also follow sometime as well.
- The massive update was due to recieving a list of filetypes from the
- Datafile, with all of last years types on it. This list was written
- by Denis Howe. Thanks Denis!
-
- Total Number = *552* Typz!
-
- Version 2.02 (14/11/93)
-
- Added a few more types, and added the !Deskpatch icon slab to the
- !Sprite file. Run !Deskpatch, and single click on the !FileIconz
- icon. Pretty Eh? This feature may be added to the rest of the Sprites,
- but it would double the amount of memory used, and that may not make it
- worthwhile... Time shall see ...
-
- Total Number = 554 Types
-
-
- Version 3.00 (1/1/94) ** All New Version ** (& A Happy New Year!)
-
-
- Split the iconz into separate groups, to keep the memory consumption
- down. Previosly, as they were all lumped in together, they used about
- 200K of RMA. Now, you just load the bits you want.
-
- Now I have a multi - sync monitor (I bought it yesterday) I have added
- Hi - Res (mode 20) icons to the Application and Junior modules. I may
- get round to adding all of the Hi - Res FileIconz, but I don't know
- when I will have the time.
-
- !Iconizers was also added, which is a collection of Iconizationy bits
- for applications that don't have them as standard. It is a bit small
- at the moment, but I am working on it ...
-
- Also changed the sound voice allocation to keep the standard error
- bleep as it is.
-
- Total Number = 563 Types
-
- Version 3.01
-
- Added a few Hi - Res Sprites.
-
- Run !FileIconz on a Risc Os 3 machine, then look in the Resource
- Dir. Smart Eh? It's not the full version, just cut down "Runner",
- to re - boot !FileIconz when necessary without wading though
- half a million directories. Either that or stick it on your
- pinboard. It only takes 5K of RMA to stick the Runner in, so
- no worrying about memory requirements! To get rid of it press
- F12 then type *RMkill !FileIconz and press return twice.
-
- Also added a few more types.
-
- Total Number = 571 Types
-
- Version 3.02
-
- Made a little program called "Squeebles" that checks
- your monitor type and adds the Hi - Res files if they
- are present. It's a bit crude (it checks what mode you
- are in to determine the monitor type!) but it works.
- I used SYS "XOS_CLI ..." to stop any errors if the high
- Res Sprites are not present.
-
- Hmmm. I have just encountered a problem with
- "Out To Lunch", the excellent Screen Saver by
- Peter Gaunt. It seems to have stopped bothering to check
- whether I am pressing any keys or not, as it keeps
- cutting in. Most strange, as it has never done it
- before :-(
-
- Added lots of new Sprites from an application called
- !DDD. The trouble is that in some places the Filetype
- does not match up with the sprite. I'll get round to
- fixing this sometime, as it is not earth - shatteringly
- important.
-
- Version 3.03
-
- Tidied up the !FileIconz. Directory, as it was getting too
- cluttered.
-
- Also added a few more types.
-
- Total Number = 595 Types
-
- Well Looky here, 600 filetypes is approaching fast ....
-
- Version 3.04 - 31/3/94
-
- Added the Illusionist Sprites and a few more,
- such as the ones from Sibelius 7, and a tape label creator
- program. Also added the new Impression Style Sprites
-
- Total Number = *** 602 Types *** - I finally reached 600!
- Now lets go for 1000!
-
- Version 3.05 - 7/4/94
-
- Added some more Sprites
-
- Total Number = 609 Types
-
- Version 3.06
-
- Well I'm very sorry to all of you Hi - Res mono users,
- but I have just realised that the code I bodged went
- into an endless loop if you were in a high res mode.
- Sorreeeee! It should be OK now, as I have modified it
- and used some code that I ripped out of Doggysoft's
- !WimpExt Demo, to check the type of mode you are in.
- Also added a few more types.
-
- Total Number = 610 Types
-
- Version 3.10
-
- Re - Did the monitor checking code after getting some
- information from that nice Mr. Colin McEwan (Sorry
- Colin, no superscript c). It works properly now,
- and is a model piece of code.
-
- Addded some nice banners courtesy of AjC of Doggysoft's
- Announce program. Sorry the banners look a bit naff in
- low res modes. I may sort this out sometime.
-
- Added a few more types.
-
- Total Number = 611 Types
-
- Version 3.11 - 30/5/94
-
- Sorted out the banners, to stop them looking naff in
- low res modes.
-
- Added a module that patched the FileSwitch messages file,
- to make the 'No Run Action Specified For This File Type'
- a bit more helpful to inexperienced users. I got the idea
- from the new Risc PC, and from the Apple Mac :-(
-
- Re - grouped the various bitz, and re - named them, as
- most people now use outline fonts instead of the system
- font on the desktop, and most outline fonts do not have a
- ‘⇨’ character.
-
- Added a Section for DOS Filetypes, now that PC's (yuk) have
- infiltrated Risc OS via PC Partitions that are readable via the
- desktop themselves.
-
- Version 3.12 - 30/6/94
-
- Added some more Sprites, courtesy of Atle Mjelde Bårdholt
- (The Arc Sailor).
-
- Sorted all of the sprite files out into alphabetical order.
- !SortSprit by Gary Lee is excellent for this.
-
- Added directory sprites, for use with Filer+ or Desktop+.
