- WinEd is a shareware template editor. Please see the documentation for
- conditions of use.
-
- Important: If you are upgrading from version 2.20 or earlier, delete the
- WinEdReg application. Registration is now handled from WinEd's banner.
-
- Documentation is provided in two forms: a plain text !Help file within the
- !WinEd directory, and a file ("Manual") suitable for Impression Style or
- Publisher. The latter contains the same text as the help file, but nicely
- formatted; it is set up to print two A5 pages per A4 page.
-
- I can print manuals (on a Bubble Jet printer) for registered users, but
- please do not ask for one unless you really can not print it yourself. Having
- to print manuals is likely to delay processing of registration, and my
- printer plays up a lot (I think BJ stands for Blocked Jet, not Bubble Jet).
-
- Note about keyboard short cuts:
- The short cut for Delete is ^K. ^X, Delete and <-| (Backspace) are no longer
- supported; they are reserved for applications that use Cut & Paste. The short
- cut for Work area... (open Edit work area dialogue) was originally ^K, so
- has had to be changed to ^O.
- I haven't bothered to document keyboard short cuts, no one would learn them
- all by heart from reading, you just gradually pick them up from the menus.
-
- Note about BorderUtils & NewLook:
- BorderUtils is a module to fix a bug in RISC OS 3.1. WinEd, like any
- application with 3D slabbing icons, needs it. It comes with NewLook and as a
- stand-alone from good PD libraries. WinEd was also designed with sprites from
- NewLook in mind, some of the old ones look awful now.
-
- Most PD and Shareware has a 'history' section, so I started one in the
- end, but not until version 2.20:
-
- Version 2.34 (13 March 1996)
- ------------
- • Made click on Save in browser menu save file if it has a pathname.
-
- Version 2.33 (03 March 1996)
- ------------
- • Simplified drag rounding to avoid inconsistencies when windows are forced
- on screen.
-
- Version 2.32 (14 February 1996)
- ------------
- • Added protection against indirected icon strings overrunning their
- buffers.
- • Changed statistics to match figures given by Wimp_LoadTemplate.
- • Editable icons are now filled when selected to ensure that their
- selected status is always visible.
-
- Version 2.31 (11 February 1996)
- ------------
- • Corrected submenu-opening message handling.
- • Corrected bugs in outline font management
- • Amended counting of indirected data in statistics.
- • Corrected appalling mistake of not properly updating distribution
- archive from bugged intermediate version.
-
- Version 2.30 (4 February 1996)
- ------------
- • Replaced writable sub-menus with small dialogue boxes for Style Guide
- compliance. And they look a lot nicer when popping up from a tool button or
- keyboard shortcut.
- • Switched to a more reliable memory management library.
- • Removed distinction between Wimp and user sprite areas.
- • Added option to auto-load sprites with templates.
- • Added feature to clear user sprites.
- • Browser tool bar is now switched off by default; it looked a little out of
- place.
- • The panes no longer flicker when changing a selection.
- • The editable window tool pane now behaves the same as Draw's ie will move
- partially off screen with its parent, but jumps fully back on if it goes all
- the way off.
-
- Version 2.22 (14 January 1996)
- ------------
- • Fixed browser redraw bug.
- • Fixed Edit window dialogue box code to read/write pane icon properly.
- • Removed redundant Banner template from main Templates file.
-
- New in version 2.21 (6 January 1995)
- -------------------
- • Reorganised registration/banner code to eliminate separate WinEdReg
- application.
- • Changed rounding code so window size doesn't jiggle about when moving
- them.
- • Changed Stats templates to improve appearance with anti-aliased fonts.
-
- Version 2.20
- ------------
- • Browser windows behave like filer windows (minimum size no longer dictated
- by title bar).
- • Minimising icon sizes now takes RISC PC Desktop font into account as well
- as System font (defaults to Homerton.Medium).
- • Validation of outline font colours corrected.
- • Click in Icon picker work area clears selection.
- • Tool bars are on by default, so new users know they exist (and I still like
- using them anyway).
