- HDClick V2.6 - Changes since V2.5
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Important: Configfiles and Prefsfiles from Version 2.5 are converted
- automatically, but have to be saved manually with "Save" in the EDIT-
- Window.
-
- NEW:
- ¯¯¯
-
- - Gadgets can be protected with Passwords. Each Gadget can have its own
- password.
-
- - The EDIT-Function also can be protected with a password. This is useful
- for computers that are accessible by the public.
-
- - The HDCLick-Screen can now be opened in three different ways:
-
- - Normal: The gadget-construction is visible.
- - Hidden: After the gadgets are drawn, the screen pops to the front.
- - Scroll1&2: The screen scrolls to the top after the gadgets have been
- drawn. Two speeds available.
-
- - The HOTKEY now affects more parts of HDClick, even if Hotkey is not
- selected in the prefs:
-
- - If the HDClick-Screen is not front-most, it pops to the front.
- - Hotkey is also active in the Iconify-Mode "Window".
- - If HDClick is AppIconified, the Hotkey has the same effect as double-
- clicking onto the AppIcon.
- - If the Small-Window is behind other windows, it pops to the front.
-
- So you can be sure that when you press the Hotkey, HDClick appears
- somehow. You should choose a Hotkey that isn't used by other programs
- of course.
-
- - This belongs to Bugfixes, but it's here anyway: It is now possible to
- set the STACK of a program directly from HDClick. It has been possible to
- define a stack in V2.5, but it didn't really affect the Stack... Now it
- really does.
-
- BUGFIXES:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-
- - There was an error in the EDIT-Window's Startmode-Selection. It happened
- that the MX-Gadgets showed a mode like "run" or "execute", but in reality
- it was the mode "none". So if you clicked on your gadget, nothing happened.
- This was a @#°@#° bug ! I had to search long for it, because it wasn't
- in the Startmode-Gadgets, nor in the Startup-functions, nor the save-
- function, but in some corrupt example-configfiles I had created a while
- ago with an old Beta-Version.
-
- - Thanks to the exact Error-description by Herbert Lottner it's now possible
- to use more than 4 colors in Productivity mode. But now, HDClick doesn't
- test if you select too many colors for a Screenmode.
-
- - Some other small bugs which could have been fatal if someone had tested
- HDClick A_LOT are fixed.
-
- Support of the AppIcon or a SmallWindow-Gadget for Non-WB3.0 users
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Drag a picture onto the AppIcon - it is shown !
- Drag a sound onto the AppIcon - you hear it !
- Drag a text onto the AppIcon - it is printed !
- Drag an LHA-File onto the AppIcon - it is decrunched !
- [...]
-
- And this all with ONE AppIcon (or ONE Gadget of the SmallWindow) !
-
- This is possible if you use (WB3.0 only) "Multiview" as the starter-
- program in the AppPrefs ("Multiview @").
-
- If you haven't got WB3.0 (like me), this can be done with a freely
- distributable program named Megaview combined with the Whatis.library
- (available e.g. from me or on a Fishdisk). All filetypes can be defined
- and the appropriate actions also. It only needs the installation of
- Megaview and the entry "Megaview @" in the AppPrefs of HDClick.
