|---|

 | 
|---|
 | 613 |  o Force Compare Directories window refresh on subdir toggle
 |

 | 
|---|
 | 616 |  o Add JFS and FAT32 support
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 617 |

|---|

|---|
 | 619 |  o Replace corrupted remote.ico.
 | 
|---|
 | 620 |  o Correct archive name display
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 621 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 622 | 3.02:
 | 
|---|
 | 623 |  o First open source release.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 624 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 625 | 3.01:
 | 
|---|
 | 626 |  o Added another archiver date type for user Jans-Peter Otto.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 627 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 628 | 3.00d:
 | 
|---|
 | 629 |  o FM/2 Lite remembers if a directory pane was maximized when it
 | 
|---|
 | 630 |    closed now (duh -- should have all along, I just forgot).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 631 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 632 | 3.00c:
 | 
|---|
 | 633 |  o More minor bug fixes.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 634 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 635 | 3.00b:
 | 
|---|
 | 636 |  o Fix two minor bugs reported by users.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 637 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 638 | 3.00:
 | 
|---|
 | 639 |  o Most of the text in FM/2 is now accessible from outside the source
 | 
|---|
 | 640 |    code files, meaning translations to other languages should now be
 | 
|---|
 | 641 |    possible without much problem.  A resource translation kit is offered
 | 
|---|
 | 642 |    free-of-charge to registered users.  This required some additional
 | 
|---|
 | 643 |    files (FM3RES.DLL and FM3RES.STR), but FM3DLL.DLL becomes (at least)
 | 
|---|
 | 644 |    correspondingly smaller.
 | 
|---|
 | 645 |  o Jazzed up Autoview a bit.
 | 
|---|
 | 646 |  o Removed a bug that sneaked in during code optimization detected by
 | 
|---|
 | 647 |    a user where archive members couldn't be dragged.  Then optimized
 | 
|---|
 | 648 |    some more, thus tempting fate.
 | 
|---|
 | 649 |  o Improved FM/2's internal window selection from menus.
 | 
|---|
 | 650 |  o The status button in Directory Containers that shows the selected
 | 
|---|
 | 651 |    number of files and bytes now displays a select menu when clicked.
 | 
|---|
 | 652 |  o Drive buttons will now show free space on drives as bubble help
 | 
|---|
 | 653 |    except for CD-ROM drives, diskette drives A: and B:, and drives
 | 
|---|
 | 654 |    marked as "slow" in the drive flags dialog.  I also made the buttons
 | 
|---|
 | 655 |    a little bigger, and they'll "stack" if required due to insufficient
 | 
|---|
 | 656 |    width.
 | 
|---|
 | 657 |  o Removed System Information applet from FM/2 -- OS/2 seems to have
 | 
|---|
 | 658 |    this stuff built-in now.
 | 
|---|
 | 659 |  o Moved MakeArc into the FM/2 Utilities package.
 | 
|---|
 | 660 |  o You can now add selected environment variables that list directories
 | 
|---|
 | 661 |    (like PATH, LIBPATH and DPATH) to the Drive Tree with a toggle in
 | 
|---|
 | 662 |    the internal Settings notebook on the Tree page.  Cool.
 | 
|---|
 | 663 |  o You can now set a default Target directory for menu and accelerator
 | 
|---|
 | 664 |    key copy and move operations, and choose to confirm (and perhaps
 | 
|---|
 | 665 |    change) that directory on each operation, or accept it without
 | 
|---|
 | 666 |    confirmation.
 | 
|---|
 | 667 |  o FM/2 will now make program object Parameters suggestions the first
 | 
|---|
 | 668 |    time it's run (no FM3.INI exists) if you should exclude any drives,
 | 
|---|
 | 669 |    and will even set the Parameters for you if you like.
 | 
|---|
 | 670 |  o Yet more tweaking that no one will ever notice...
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 671 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 672 | 2.67:
 | 
|---|
 | 673 |  o Jazzed up the mini-command line a bit.
 | 
|---|
 | 674 |  o Command lines for the Execute dialog and mini-command line are now
 | 
|---|
 | 675 |    saved separately (the former in CMDLINES.DAT, the latter in
 | 
|---|
 | 676 |    CMDMINI.DAT, same format).  You can save, or not, either type for
 | 
|---|
 | 677 |    recall.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 678 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 679 | 2.66:
 | 
|---|
 | 680 |  o Increased duration of error window to 5 seconds from 3 (click it to
 | 
|---|
 | 681 |    make it vanish early), changed background color to white and text
 | 
|---|
 | 682 |    color to dark red, surrounded with red rectangle to make it stand out
 | 
|---|
 | 683 |    more.  Also gave it a distinctive sound.  (This is the error window
 | 
|---|
 | 684 |    you get if you do something like try to open the diskette drive when
 | 
|---|
 | 685 |    there's no diskette inserted.)
 | 
|---|
 | 686 |  o Killed bug reported by Paulo Mario where FM/2 could crash (suddenly
 | 
|---|
 | 687 |    exit) after moving a file and overwriting an existing file.
 | 
|---|
 | 688 |  o Reworked Databar a bit.
 | 
|---|
 | 689 |  o For the adventurous among you, try holding Shift or Ctrl while
 | 
|---|
 | 690 |    clicking that second status window in a Directory Container...
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 691 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 692 | 2.65:
 | 
|---|
 | 693 |  o You can drag an object onto the Drive tree's Open button now, and
 | 
|---|
 | 694 |    a Directory Container for that object will be opened.
 | 
|---|
 | 695 |  o Long-overdue code cleanup begins...
 | 
|---|
 | 696 |  o Fixed bug in FM/2 Lite where it was sorta paying attention to the
 | 
|---|
 | 697 |    "bottom buttons" setting in FM/2 when it should ignore it.
 | 
|---|
 | 698 |  o Played with FM/2's default settings for new users -- some of the
 | 
|---|
 | 699 |    best stuff was turned off by default!
 | 
|---|
 | 700 |  o Changed the behavior of the Rename dialog somewhat per user
 | 
|---|
 | 701 |    suggestion.  "Overwrite if target older or same," "Overwrite if
 | 
|---|
 | 702 |    target newer" and "Don't ask again" checkboxes now allow you to
 | 
|---|
 | 703 |    selectively skip being asked about naming conflicts for the rest of
 | 
|---|
 | 704 |    an operation.  Note that clicking the "Okay" button honors these
 | 
|---|
 | 705 |    choices, but the "Overwrite" button overrides them for that one file
 | 
|---|
 | 706 |    (an overwrite _will_ be performed).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 707 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 708 | 2.64:
 | 
|---|
 | 709 |  o Made Window->Tile a cascade menu with Tile as the default, but you
 | 
|---|
 | 710 |    can also set Autotile and Tile backwards toggles (renamed Tile
 | 
|---|
 | 711 |    horizontal) there.
 | 
|---|
 | 712 |  o More help file work.
 | 
|---|
 | 713 |  o Tweaking of a few things no one will ever notice, except perhaps
 | 
|---|
 | 714 |    as a feeling of more smoothness in a few places.
 | 
|---|
 | 715 |  o Added "Leave all attrs" button to Attributes dialog to make
 | 
|---|
 | 716 |    "touching" files easier.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 717 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 718 | 2.63:
 | 
|---|
 | 719 |  o Fixed bug in UNDEL.EXE pointed out by a user.
 | 
|---|
 | 720 |  o Added "Double-click" topic to Tutorial section of help.  Did you know
 | 
|---|
 | 721 |    that you can make FM/2 do something different when you double-click
 | 
|---|
 | 722 |    an object?  Other miscellaneous work on the help file.
 | 
|---|
 | 723 |  o Moved "Create shadows" command under "Copy" cascade in menus where no
 | 
|---|
 | 724 |    separate "Create objects" cascade is available and a "Copy" cascade
 | 
|---|
 | 725 |    is available.
 | 
|---|
 | 726 |  o Made the way menus appear on new View and Sort buttons more
 | 
|---|
 | 727 |    attractive (IMHO).
 | 
|---|
 | 728 |  o Bubble help won't appear if the window isn't active now (oversight).
 | 
|---|
 | 729 |  o To make it easier to parse the saved output from a Directory sizes
 | 
|---|
 | 730 |    window, directory names containing spaces are now surrounded by quote
 | 
|---|
 | 731 |    marks.
 | 
|---|
 | 732 |  o Related:  Put SEEHELP.EXE into FM2UTILS.ZIP for those who have
 | 
|---|
 | 733 |    versions of OS/2 with VIEW.EXEs that won't read .HLP files directly.
 | 
|---|
 | 734 |    You can read the FM/2 help file directly using this program on such
 | 
|---|
 | 735 |    systems:  "SEEHELP FM3.HLP".
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 736 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 737 | 2.62:
 | 
|---|
 | 738 |  o Added /SAVE and /NOSAVE to mini-command line options for a user.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 739 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 740 | 2.61:
 | 
|---|
 | 741 |  o Added new buttons to Directory Container, Archive Containers and the
 | 
|---|
 | 742 |    Collector that allow you to set sort, filter and view.  Removed
 | 
|---|
 | 743 |    filter button from bottom of screen (no longer needed).  Revised
 | 
|---|
 | 744 |    window layouts help to show modified layouts.
 | 
|---|
 | 745 |  o More newuser-friendly junk (more bubble help, etc.).
 | 
|---|
 | 746 |  o Added Find first/next to INI viewer.  Listbox command will work in
 | 
|---|
 | 747 |    is bordered in red.
 | 
|---|
 | 748 |  o Just a BTW -- there's a new IMAGE.EXE (the FM/2 image viewer utility)
 | 
|---|
 | 749 |    in FM2UTILS.ZIP, available free-of-charge at
 | 
|---|
 | 750 |    http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/fm2
 | 
|---|
 | 751 |    I put some stuff in it that I needed for making pictures for the help
 | 
|---|
 | 752 |    files.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 753 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 754 | 2.60:
 | 
|---|
 | 755 |  o Fast internal viewer can start configured editor from menu (Ctrl + e
 | 
|---|
 | 756 |    accelerator) per user request.  Remember, to edit files in an
 | 
|---|
 | 757 |    archive, you must still use Files->Refresh to cause selected files to
 | 
|---|
 | 758 |    be refreshed in the archive.
 | 
|---|
 | 759 |  o Added a bit more bubble help (remember, you can turn bubble help on
 | 
|---|
 | 760 |    and off (somewhat selectively) in the internal Settings notebook).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 761 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 762 | 2.59:
 | 
|---|
 | 763 |  o Rename dialog will now specifically tell you if the source file is
 | 
|---|
 | 764 |    newer, older or same date as target and smaller, larger or same size
 | 
|---|
 | 765 |    if there's a conflict with an existing target file, per user request.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 766 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 767 | 2.58:
 | 
|---|
 | 768 |  o Added ability to create a new directory and switch to it in the
 | 
|---|
 | 769 |    common directories user list (select <New directory>).  Revised
 | 
|---|
 | 770 |    help to reflect this.
 | 
|---|
 | 771 |  o Holding down Shift while selecting a state name will prevent FM/2
 | 
|---|
 | 772 |    from closing windows already open now (per user request).  An
 | 
|---|
 | 773 |    automatic retile of all windows is then performed.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 774 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 775 | 2.57:
 | 
|---|
 | 776 |  o Added ability to sort by subject per user request (wouldn't it be
 | 
|---|
 | 777 |    nice if Netscape put where we got downloaded files from in an EA?  Or
 | 
|---|
 | 778 |    let you drag a file over it without locking up the system?).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 779 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 780 | 2.56:
 | 
|---|
 | 781 |  o Added ability to use exclusion masks in the Seek and Scan dialog
 | 
|---|
 | 782 |    per Harry Travis' request.  Also added Append checkbox.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 783 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 784 | 2.55:
 | 
|---|
 | 785 |  o Fixed bug reported by Ralph Alvy -- "Append" checkbox being ignored
 | 
|---|
 | 786 |    in Save to listfile dialog, FM/2 always appended to listfile.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 787 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 788 | 2.54:
 | 
|---|
 | 789 |  o Small tweaks.
 | 
|---|
 | 790 |  o I don't do Compuserve anymore.  Reach me via the net, or just go to
 | 
|---|
 | 791 |    FM/2's web page at http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/fm2
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 792 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 793 | 2.53:
 | 
|---|
 | 794 |  o Added Commands user dropdown list for picking commands to run on
 | 
|---|
 | 795 |    selected files more quickly and easily.
 | 
|---|
 | 796 |  o Removed "#" character from AV/2 temporary directory -- WebEx and
 | 
|---|
 | 797 |    Netscape were choking on it (a).
 | 
|---|
 | 798 |  o Allow disabling FM/2's custom file dialog so you can use MSE's
 | 
|---|
 | 799 |    instead, if you like (the toggle's on the General page).  (What's
 | 
|---|
 | 800 |    MSE?  Look at http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/mse) (a).
 | 
|---|
 | 801 |  o Added support for PKZIP 2.50 (b).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 802 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 803 | 2.52:
 | 
|---|
 | 804 |  o When the FM/2 main window is resized and a Directory Container is
 | 
|---|
 | 805 |    maximized within it, it will remain maximized.
 | 
|---|
 | 806 |  o Modified AV/2 and ARCHIVER.BB2 so that RAR v2's woefully NIH
 | 
|---|
 | 807 |    listings can be read.  Would it just _kill_ you archiver authors to
 | 
|---|
 | 808 |    get together and come up with some sort of easily parsed listing
 | 
|---|
 | 809 |    standard, then stick to it?  Please?
 | 
|---|
 | 810 |  o FM/2 will now show the current decryption keyword for extra programs
 | 
|---|
 | 811 |    like DBFVIEW and FMT from the About box.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 812 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 813 | 2.51:
 | 
|---|
 | 814 |  o Tweaked image viewer initial sizing algorithm to better handle very
 | 
|---|
 | 815 |    small bitmaps at more nearly correct perspectives.
 | 
|---|
 | 816 |  o Added "No folder menu" toggle to internal Settings notebook by
 | 
|---|
 | 817 |    user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 818 |  o Put floppy letters back into drives userlist dropdown due to
 | 
|---|
 | 819 |    user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 820 |  o Made image viewer a separate executable due to a memory leak in
 | 
|---|
 | 821 |    OS/2's MMPM/2 (mmio) under Merlin beta and some Warp 3 fixpack
 | 
|---|
 | 822 |    configurations -- closing the application frees the memory, but
 | 
|---|
 | 823 |    nothing else will, so a small, fast, separate application "fixes" the
 | 
|---|
 | 824 |    problem (or, if you prefer, "OS/2 bug").  Like FM2PLAY.EXE, this
 | 
|---|
 | 825 |    IMAGE.EXE file will now be in the FM/2 Utilities package (FM2UTL.ZIP
 | 
|---|
 | 826 |    on CI$ or FM2UTILS.ZIP on the internet).  You'll probably want to
 | 
|---|
 | 827 |    remove any old IMAGE.CMD file built by previous FM/2 installs.
 | 
|---|
 | 828 |  o Added ability to view and manipulate files in archives containing
 | 
|---|
 | 829 |    spaces in the filename for archivers that provide information in a
 | 
|---|
 | 830 |    particular way (see ARCHIVER.BB2 -- ZIP and LZH archives are set up
 | 
|---|
 | 831 |    this way).  Other folks who use ARCHIVER.BB2 should take a look at
 | 
|---|
 | 832 |    the updated documentation to see how to take advantage of this, but
 | 
|---|
 | 833 |    it's backward-compatible, so old versions of those programs will
 | 
|---|
 | 834 |    still work correctly with this change.
 | 
|---|
 | 835 |  o Removed SEEHELP.EXE -- Warp has the ability to view help files using
 | 
|---|
 | 836 |    VIEW.EXE which comes with the OS.
 | 
|---|
 | 837 |  o Added "WPS Move" and "WPS Copy" commands.
 | 
|---|
 | 838 |  o I no longer accept registrations via direct mail.  Registrations are
 | 
|---|
 | 839 |    available through BMT Micro or CIS' SWREG only (BMT recommended --
 | 
|---|
 | 840 |    see REGISTER.TXT).  I just got too much snail mail and couldn't keep
 | 
|---|
 | 841 |    up with all of it.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 842 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 843 | 2.50b:
 | 
|---|
 | 844 |  o Added ability to convert an image file to another format from the
 | 
|---|
 | 845 |    image viewer window.
 | 
|---|
 | 846 |  o All supported multimedia types are now "played" automatically on
 | 
|---|
 | 847 |    double-click unless you have an FM/2 Association set for them.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 848 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 849 | 2.50a:
 | 
|---|
 | 850 |  o Added "Run Viewer as child session" toggle -- if used, any open
 | 
|---|
 | 851 |    viewers will close when FM/2 closes.
 | 
|---|
 | 852 |  o Added "Env" button to Seek and scan dialog (for searching through
 | 
|---|
 | 853 |    directories listed in environment variables).
 | 
|---|
 | 854 |  o Added "No sort" option to Collector sorting.
 | 
|---|
 | 855 |  o FM/2 will now offer to remove old registration when started after
 | 
|---|
 | 856 |    registration has expired, making it easy to enter updated
 | 
|---|
 | 857 |    registration information.
 | 
|---|
 | 858 |  o Directory Containers can now be switched into Tree View.  See also
 | 
|---|
 | 859 |    new "Stay in Tree View" toggle.
 | 
|---|
 | 860 |  o B2 on Directory Container Folder buttons pulls up an abbreviated
 | 
|---|
 | 861 |    popup menu.
 | 
|---|
 | 862 |  o Bugfix:  The Autoview window wouldn't let you enter Comments on an
 | 
|---|
 | 863 |    object that didn't already have them (duh).
 | 
|---|
 | 864 |  o FM/2 now taps into MMPM/2 to display image files, instead of GBM.  To
 | 
|---|
 | 865 |    activate FM/2's "internal" image file viewing, be sure to remove any
 | 
|---|
 | 866 |    Associations for MMPM/2-supported image file types (JPG, TIF, BMP,
 | 
|---|
 | 867 |    PCX, GIF, etc.) using FM/2's Config->Edit Associations command.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 868 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 869 | 2.50:
 | 
|---|
 | 870 |  o Added a horizontal scrollbar to Global files viewer.
 | 
|---|
 | 871 |  o Added line wrap (and thus horizontal scrollbar) to fast internal
 | 
|---|
 | 872 |    viewer.
 | 
|---|
 | 873 |  o Added WWW and FTP component launching to internal viewers per
 | 
|---|
 | 874 |    user request.  BTW, testpm.exe from the FM/2 Utilities is handy for
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 875 |    deciphering the arguments to FTPPM.EXE, which are a bit bizarre and
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 876 |    undocumented.  Just rename FTPPM.EXE to FTPPM.BAK, copy TESTPM.EXE
 | 
|---|
 | 877 |    to FTPPM.EXE in the same directory, open the FTP object's Settings
 | 
|---|
 | 878 |    notebook, then open the FTP object's program and compare the
 | 
|---|
 | 879 |    results.
 | 
|---|
 | 880 |  o Added optional blue/yellow LEDs which can be used in place of the
 | 
|---|
 | 881 |    default red/green thread LED bitmaps.
 | 
|---|
 | 882 |  o Added a toggle to make the databar boring for those who can't stand
 | 
|---|
 | 883 |    too much excitement (I have users who are easily worn out :-).  Also
 | 
|---|
 | 884 |    added file system type to end of string on user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 885 |  o Execute dialog will try to remind you why you called it up in case
 | 
|---|
 | 886 |    you fall asleep after double-clicking the mouse and awake confused.
 | 
|---|
 | 887 |    It could happen.
 | 
|---|
 | 888 |  o Couple of more small workarounds for Merlin beta bugs.
 | 
|---|
 | 889 |  o Changed the way the toolbar displays help to eliminate capturing
 | 
|---|
 | 890 |    the mouse (kludge, OS/2 should have a WM_MOUSELEAVING message).
 | 
|---|
 | 891 |  o Added mini-toolbar to fast internal viewer.
 | 
|---|
 | 892 |  o Note new internet address.
 | 
|---|
 | 893 |  o Price reduction for commercial registrations.
 | 
|---|
 | 894 |  o SET environment variable DOS_SHELL in CONFIG.SYS if you want to use
 | 
|---|
 | 895 |    an alternate command processor in DOS sessions (for example,
 | 
|---|
 | 896 |    SET DOS_SHELL=C:\4DOS\4DOS.EXE).
 | 
|---|
 | 897 |  o Remap command now uses NET USE, enhancements (like it works, for
 | 
|---|
 | 898 |    one :-).
 | 
|---|
 | 899 |  o Added Miscellaneous->Detach (Ctrl + H) command to Drive Tree drive
 | 
|---|
 | 900 |    popup to detach local drives from remote resources.
 | 
|---|
 | 901 |  o Updated FM2PLAY.EXE (in FM2UTL.ZIP on CIS, FM2UTILS.ZIP elsewhere),
 | 
|---|
 | 902 |    including more controls and ability to load list of files from a
 | 
|---|
 | 903 |    listfile.  FM/2 will use this listfile method when playing more
 | 
|---|
 | 904 |    multimedia files than will fit on a command line using the
 | 
|---|
 | 905 |    View->Multimedia (Ctrl + l) command.  OS/2 command lines are
 | 
|---|
 | 906 |    limited to about 1000 characters, if you're interested.
 | 
|---|
 | 907 |  o Lots of other little tweaks and improvements -- some you might
 | 
|---|
 | 908 |    even notice.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 909 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 910 | 2.49:
 | 
|---|
 | 911 |  o More cosmetic tweaking -- for example, changing status line or bottom
 | 
|---|
 | 912 |    button text font will now result in resizing of control to match new
 | 
|---|
 | 913 |    font.  BTW, if you set ugly fonts or colors and want the defaults
 | 
|---|
 | 914 |    back, one way to do it completely is to delete the window position
 | 
|---|
 | 915 |    entry in OS2.INI and start from scratch...
 | 
|---|
 | 916 |  o Work around for nasty bug in Merlin beta Voice Manager.
 | 
|---|
 | 917 |  o Remap drives command added -- untested at this time, as I have no
 | 
|---|
 | 918 |    LAN.  If you try it and it doesn't work, please report the error
 | 
|---|
 | 919 |    code displayed.  If it works, let me know that, too.
 | 
|---|
 | 920 |  o Fixed bug in Merge code.
 | 
|---|
 | 921 |  o Added mini-toolbars to Archive Containers and the Collector (visible
 | 
|---|
 | 922 |    only if you have the toolbar in FM/2 turned on, of course).
 | 
|---|
 | 923 |  o A couple of other little things folks asked for -- I forget.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 924 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 925 | 2.48a:
 | 
|---|
 | 926 |  o Lots of cosmetic stuff (for example, check out the Databar).
 | 
|---|
 | 927 |  o Additional help, partitioned Context menu help into smaller "chunks."
 | 
|---|
 | 928 |  o Added Find button to Archive dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 929 |  o More Merlin preparations.
 | 
|---|
 | 930 |  o Added UserDirs dropdown to standard OS/2 file dialogs used by FM/2.
 | 
|---|
 | 931 |  o Added Duplicates command to Global file viewer.
 | 
|---|
 | 932 |  o More (subtle) tweaking of Seek and Scan dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 933 |  o Anybody else notice how the competition is trying (in vain) to
 | 
|---|
 | 934 |    copy FM/2, but having a great deal of trouble keeping up with
 | 
|---|
 | 935 |    the Joneses?  :-)
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 936 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 937 | 2.48:
 | 
|---|
 | 938 |  o Ideal size button logic adjusted so it will work as might be expected
 | 
|---|
 | 939 |    with Merlin's new Warpcenter.
 | 
|---|
 | 940 |  o Logic for sizing of titlebar buttons adjusted so they look better
 | 
|---|
 | 941 |    under Merlin.
 | 
|---|
 | 942 |  o Fixed bug in EA editor's MLE control -- an apparent change in the way
 | 
|---|
 | 943 |    Warp handles the MLM_QUERYFORMATTEXTLENGTH with an overlong length
 | 
|---|
 | 944 |    parameter has changed, resulting in the MLE not being cleared properly.
 | 
|---|
 | 945 |  o Autoviewing file comments (.COMMENTS EA) now displays the comments in
 | 
|---|
 | 946 |    an MLE rather than static text control, allowing editing.  Moving the
 | 
|---|
 | 947 |    focus from the MLE after making a change saves the new EA.  Note:  if
 | 
|---|
 | 948 |    a .COMMENTS EA is damaged, FM/2 won't let you edit it in this window
 | 
|---|
 | 949 |    for safety (maybe some strange program wanted it that way).  You can
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 950 |    fix it in the EA viewer (Ctrl + Shift + E) if you know it's an anomaly.
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 951 |    Use the Ctrl + Tab accelerator key to switch focus to the Autoview
 | 
|---|
 | 952 |    MLE if you're keyboarding.  FM/2 supports .COMMENTS EAs up to 32767
 | 
|---|
 | 953 |    characters in length.  Each line of the MLE (newline, not wrap)
 | 
|---|
 | 954 |    creates a separate EAT_ASCII value, in case you care and know what
 | 
|---|
 | 955 |    the heck I'm talking about...  BTW, GCP downloads automatically fill
 | 
|---|
 | 956 |    in the .COMMENTS and .SUBJECT EAs for you if so configured, though
 | 
|---|
 | 957 |    it seems to save the .COMMENTS EA in a weird (different from the
 | 
|---|
 | 958 |    WPS) format -- but it's readable.
 | 
|---|
 | 959 |  o You can use command line switch -<ininame> to start FM/2 with a
 | 
|---|
 | 960 |    different INI file (i.e. "FM3.EXE -C:\MYINI.INI").  This means
 | 
|---|
 | 961 |    that different users can set up FM/2 to taste and use separate
 | 
|---|
 | 962 |    FM/2 objects to start their "version" of the program on the same
 | 
|---|
 | 963 |    machine.
 | 
|---|
 | 964 |  o FM/2 will try to remind you why the Walk directories dialog was
 | 
|---|
 | 965 |    invoked, per forgetful, worn-out user request.  :-)
 | 
|---|
 | 966 |  o Keys help added per user request.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 967 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 968 | 2.47:
 | 
|---|
 | 969 |  o Added "View->As archive" context menu option per user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 970 |  o Added maximize/restore button to "FM/2 Lite" Directory Containers.
 | 
|---|
 | 971 |  o Added Autoview window to "FM/2 Lite."
 | 
|---|
 | 972 |  o Added "View archive" button to Archive List Error window.
 | 
|---|
 | 973 |  o Fixed bug -- Ctrl + F7 not bringing up context menu with Sort
 | 
|---|
 | 974 |    submenu selected.
 | 
|---|
 | 975 |  o Jazzed up direct renaming of files and directories.
 | 
|---|
 | 976 |  o Jazzed up Seek and Scan dialog per user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 977 |  o AV/2 will now accept wildcarded filenames and view the first matching
 | 
|---|
 | 978 |    file in whatever manner seems most appropriate.
 | 
|---|
 | 979 |  o Delete key deletes files, Ctrl + Delete is permanent delete, Shift +
 | 
|---|
 | 980 |    Delete is save to clipboard, Ctrl + Insert is make directory, Ctrl +
 | 
|---|
 | 981 |    Pageup is parent directory, Ctrl + Pagedown is previous directory,
 | 
|---|
 | 982 |    Ctrl + Home is root directory.  Obviously, not all these keystrokes
 | 
|---|
 | 983 |    are meaningful in all windows (for instance, parent directory doesn't
 | 
|---|
 | 984 |    do anything in the Collector).  These new shortcut keys are in
 | 
|---|
 | 985 |    addition to existing accelerators.  Applicable windows (see previous
 | 
|---|
 | 986 |    caveat): Directory Containers, Drive Tree, Archive Containers,
 | 
|---|
 | 987 |    Collector, Global files windows.  Per user request.  These are not
 | 
|---|
 | 988 |    "real" accelerator keys as they tend to bleed through and mess with
 | 
|---|
 | 989 |    normal interactions (even these bleed through here and there, but
 | 
|---|
 | 990 |    it's benign), but hopefully you'll never notice the difference.
 | 
|---|
 | 991 |  o In "FM/2 Lite," you can direct-edit the title of a Directory
 | 
|---|
 | 992 |    Container to change directories.
 | 
|---|
 | 993 |  o Install now accepts /UNATTENDED argument to run without asking any
 | 
|---|
 | 994 |    questions.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 995 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 996 | 2.46:
 | 
|---|
 | 997 |  o Fixed drive button bug.
 | 
|---|
 | 998 |  o Added "FM/2 Lite" (or whatever you want to call it), a new
 | 
|---|
 | 999 |    "personality" for FM/2 intended for those who can't deal with
 | 
|---|
 | 1000 |    the real thing.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1001 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1002 | 2.45:
 | 
|---|
 | 1003 |  o When selecting or deselecting by mask, you can specify a text string
 | 
|---|
 | 1004 |    to be used.  First the file is tested against the mask(s), then
 | 
|---|
 | 1005 |    tested to see if it contains the text (if any is specified).
 | 
|---|
 | 1006 |  o Fixed bug -- context menus quit working after a Directory Container
 | 
|---|
 | 1007 |    was closed.
 | 
|---|
 | 1008 |  o Added Makearc module, mainly for access from NTree.
 | 
|---|
 | 1009 |  o Fixed bug -- "case sensitive" flag was being reversed for Seek and
 | 
|---|
 | 1010 |    Scan.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1011 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1012 | 2.44:
 | 
|---|
 | 1013 |  o "Thread busy" LED added per user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 1014 |  o Toolbar buttons now allow you to use different bitmaps of your own
 | 
|---|
 | 1015 |    design.  Notes:  using user-defined bitmaps in the toolbar can slow
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 1016 |    loading of FM/2 slightly, but probably not noticeably unless you
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1017 |    replace all of them.  Request a context menu on a toolbar button and
 | 
|---|
 | 1018 |    pick "Edit button" to get the dialog where you tell FM/2 to use a
 | 
|---|
 | 1019 |    user-defined bitmap.
 | 
|---|
 | 1020 |  o External Archive Containers, Collector, VTree and VDirs now have
 | 
|---|
 | 1021 |    their own pulldown menu for Files and Views (the shadow menus) and
 | 
|---|
 | 1022 |    Help for easy keyboard access and/or novice users.
 | 
|---|
 | 1023 |  o Command lines executed through the command line dialog are remembered
 | 
|---|
 | 1024 |    for possible later retrieval.
 | 
|---|
 | 1025 |  o Directory sizes dialog reworked (prettier, sizeable).  DIRSIZE.EXE
 | 
|---|
 | 1026 |    program provided for accessing this function directly (object placed
 | 
|---|
 | 1027 |    in FM/2 Tools subfolder by INSTALL.CMD).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1028 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1029 | 2.43:
 | 
|---|
 | 1030 |  o Added optional drivebar per user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 1031 |  o Added Lock and Unlock commands for removable drives.
 | 
|---|
 | 1032 |  o Added UUDecode command and Merge command (yep, got another internet
 | 
|---|
 | 1033 |    connection, finally).
 | 
|---|
 | 1034 |  o When presented with a list of objects in a dialog (as in the Edit EAs
 | 
|---|
 | 1035 |    or Attributes dialogs), double-clicking a file object will bring up
 | 
|---|
 | 1036 |    the configured viewer with the file loaded.  This is just a quick
 | 
|---|
 | 1037 |    view purely for convenience; no attempt is made to view the file as
 | 
|---|
 | 1038 |    an archive or check Associations.  You can double-click it in the
 | 
|---|
 | 1039 |    Directory Container if you need to go that far.
 | 
|---|
 | 1040 |  o Added "Thread notes" window -- if you don't like it, minimize it and
 | 
|---|
 | 1041 |    it should stay that way.  When a thread does something that takes
 | 
|---|
 | 1042 |    awhile, like copying a file, it tells you when it starts and when
 | 
|---|
 | 1043 |    it finishes.
 | 
|---|
 | 1044 |  o Under Warp, FM/2 will now query the active desktop in a documented
 | 
|---|
 | 1045 |    manner when asked to create objects.  There is no reliable method
 | 
|---|
 | 1046 |    under older OS/2 versions.
 | 
|---|
 | 1047 |  o Improved FM/2's built-in printing somewhat.  Still not as good as
 | 
|---|
 | 1048 |    printing from the appropriate application, of course.
 | 
|---|
 | 1049 |  o Confirmation lists will now display a bitmap representing the command
 | 
|---|
 | 1050 |    to be executed on the dialog, where applicable, as a quick visual
 | 
|---|
 | 1051 |    reminder.
 | 
|---|
 | 1052 |  o When switching a Directory Container to the parent, FM/2 will
 | 
|---|
 | 1053 |    make the vacated directory's object the current object.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1054 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1055 | 2.42:
 | 
|---|
 | 1056 |  o More threading in strategic spots to make response when moving around
 | 
|---|
 | 1057 |    really slow drives (like ZIP and EZ drives) snappier.  The drivers
 | 
|---|
 | 1058 |    for these drives need a bit more work, developers -- think "cache,"
 | 
|---|
 | 1059 |    especially for things like providing the label and usage info.  When
 | 
|---|
 | 1060 |    it's slower than the floppy drives, some work needs to be done, eh?
 | 
|---|
 | 1061 |  o Edit->Drive flags dialog now available from a drive (root dir) object
 | 
|---|
 | 1062 |    in the Drive Tree -- lets you set flags you used to _have_ to set
 | 
|---|
 | 1063 |    from the command line (and a couple of new ones).  You can still set
 | 
|---|
 | 1064 |    flags from the command line as an override.
 | 
|---|
 | 1065 |  o Files can be included in the Drive Tree display on a per-drive basis
 | 
|---|
 | 1066 |    if you can actually think of a reason to do it (I can't, but someone
 | 
|---|
 | 1067 |    asked).  If you do find a use for it, tell me what the heck it is.
 | 
|---|
 | 1068 |  o See all files can be invoked on directory (folder) objects
 | 
|---|
 | 1069 |    (Miscellaneous->Show all files) or the directory into which a
 | 
|---|
 | 1070 |    Directory Container looks.
 | 
|---|
 | 1071 |  o See all files window and Collector now have new "Move and preserve"
 | 
|---|
 | 1072 |    and "Copy and preserve" commands to move or copy objects while
 | 
|---|
 | 1073 |    preserving their directory relationship (see online help for
 | 
|---|
 | 1074 |    examples).
 | 
|---|
 | 1075 |  o Double-clicking on an empty part of the Drive Tree now invokes the
 | 
|---|
 | 1076 |    Make Directory command.  Double-clicking on an empty part of a
 | 
|---|
 | 1077 |    Directory Container opens its WPS folder.
 | 
|---|
 | 1078 |  o Target of a drag and drop operation can be changed from the FM/2
 | 
|---|
 | 1079 |    drag and drop dialog (if you're using the dialog, of course).
 | 
|---|
 | 1080 |  o Improved directory comparison dialog (no, it's still no PMDirMatch
 | 
|---|
 | 1081 |    and never will be, and yes, you can still tell FM/2 to use PMDirMatch
 | 
|---|
 | 1082 |    instead of the internal).
 | 
|---|
 | 1083 |  o Added Utilities->Compare directories command.
 | 
|---|
 | 1084 |  o Sorting an Archive Container by date is now possible, at least for
 | 
|---|
 | 1085 |    some archive types.  See ARCHIVER.BB2 for details.  You can also
 | 
|---|
 | 1086 |    Alt-B1 click the titles of sortable fields in Archive Containers now
 | 
|---|
 | 1087 |    to change the sort type (just like you can in a Directory Container).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1088 | 
 | 
|---|
 | 1089 | 2.41:
 | 
|---|
 | 1090 |  o VTree now runs Directory Containers (VDirs) as part of its process,
 | 
|---|
 | 1091 |    which should save on a little memory for those of you using FM/2 as
 | 
|---|
 | 1092 |    as "super drives objects."  To take full advantage of this, the
 | 
|---|
 | 1093 |    "Separate parameters" toggle should be checked.
 | 
|---|
 | 1094 |  o External FM/2 windows can be closed from the PM Window List without
 | 
|---|
 | 1095 |    closing the entire program (excepting the main window, of course).
 | 
|---|
 | 1096 |  o Fixed bug:  last line of a hex view wasn't formatted very
 | 
|---|
 | 1097 |    attractively.
 | 
|---|
 | 1098 |  o Fixed bug:  quick config page didn't work right anymore.
 | 
|---|
 | 1099 |  o Fixed bug:  VDir and AV/2 windows would show external FM/2 windows
 | 
|---|
 | 1100 |    but not switch to them.
 | 
|---|
 | 1101 |  o Window dialog now shows and acts on external FM/2 windows.
 | 
|---|
 | 1102 |  o Checking "Separate parameters" toggle now saves all parameters
 | 
|---|
 | 1103 |    under the new appname immediately when the Settings notebook
 | 
|---|
 | 1104 |    is closed.  You'll want to be careful here -- think before choosing.
 | 
|---|
 | 1105 |    BTW, a backup of your FM3.INI file, once you get it set up to your
 | 
|---|
 | 1106 |    liking, is always a good idea.  Don't use FM3INI.BAK as the filename,
 | 
|---|
 | 1107 |    since FM/2 automatically does a one-generation backup to that name.
 | 
|---|
 | 1108 |  o Warp no longer allows a container item to be hidden by a thread other
 | 
|---|
 | 1109 |    than the thread that controls the container if the item is selected
 | 
|---|
 | 1110 |    (Why?  Who knows?  Why don't DrgQueryDraginfoPtrFromDragitem() and
 | 
|---|
 | 1111 |    CN_DROPHELP work?). Since this forces single threaded hiding of
 | 
|---|
 | 1112 |    objects, I must conclude this is a bug in OS/2.  However, since it's
 | 
|---|
 | 1113 |    in "GA" OS/2 code, I reluctantly worked around it by making Hide
 | 
|---|
 | 1114 |    objects single-threaded -- you'll have to wait for it to get done.
 | 
|---|
 | 1115 |    Shouldn't be a major problem.
 | 
|---|
 | 1116 |  o Added codepage 1004 to codepage dialog.  Someone asked, I didn't even
 | 
|---|
 | 1117 |    know the blamed thing was there.
 | 
|---|
 | 1118 |  o Added Ctrl + F10 and Ctrl + F11 accelerators to start/end a direct
 | 
|---|
 | 1119 |    edit of a filename for the rodently challenged.
 | 
|---|
 | 1120 |  o Added Next/Prev blank line menu items and buttons to new internal
 | 
|---|
 | 1121 |    viewer (accelerators were there before).  In text where paragraphs
 | 
|---|
 | 1122 |    are separated by blank lines, these go down or up to the next
 | 
|---|
 | 1123 |    paragraph.  Something I use.
 | 
|---|
 | 1124 |  o Added Recent Directories dropdown list to Walk Directories dialog,
 | 
|---|
 | 1125 |    which separates the recently used directories from the user-defined
 | 
|---|
 | 1126 |    directories in that dialog.  Just wanted to.
 | 
|---|
 | 1127 |  o Added "DOS-think" and "Windoze-think" quick-config options to
 | 
|---|
 | 1128 |    internal Settings notebook. If you use 'em they'll stunt your growth.
 | 
|---|
 | 1129 |  o Fixed an obscure tile bug no one else seems to have noticed.
 | 
|---|
 | 1130 |  o Changed Shift + F? accelerators to Ctrl + F? to avoid conflicting
 | 
|---|
 | 1131 |    with a couple of OS/2-used keys.
 | 
|---|
 | 1132 |  o Further tightened integration between VTree and its Directory
 | 
|---|
 | 1133 |    Containers.
 | 
|---|
 | 1134 |  o Made Tree (optionally) smart.
 | 
|---|
 | 1135 |  o Reorganized internal Settings notebook for more "logical" grouping
 | 
|---|
 | 1136 |    (some things grow with a life of their own).
 | 
|---|
 | 1137 |  o Changed Install so that it puts many objects in a separate Toolbox
 | 
|---|
 | 1138 |    folder (someone who's not even registered suggested it, and I decided
 | 
|---|
 | 1139 |    to give it a try -- tell me what you think.  If upgrading, delete the
 | 
|---|
 | 1140 |    old FM/2 folder before running Install again.).
 | 
|---|
 | 1141 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1142 | 2.40:
 | 
|---|
 | 1143 |  o Added "All" button to Filter dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 1144 |  o Added more optional buttons to main window.
 | 
|---|
 | 1145 |  o Added %u/%U metastrings.
 | 
|---|
 | 1146 |  o Added hex/ASCII + drag-me window to bottom of new internal text
 | 
|---|
 | 1147 |    viewer.
 | 
|---|
 | 1148 |  o Added %! metastring.
 | 
|---|
 | 1149 |  o Added default archiver setting.
 | 
|---|
 | 1150 |  o PM uses several ALT + F? accelerators to control frame windows.
 | 
|---|
 | 1151 |    However, this applies to the current frame window, which can be
 | 
|---|
 | 1152 |    within the main FM/2 window when run monolithically.  Add Ctrl to
 | 
|---|
 | 1153 |    these accelerators to affect the main window in that case.  I don't
 | 
|---|
 | 1154 |    change the system menu text to reflect this as it may be in a foreign
 | 
|---|
 | 1155 |    language, and I'm an ignorant, ugly one-language American.
 | 
|---|
 | 1156 |  o Added "Separate parameters" toggle.
 | 
|---|
 | 1157 |  o Added "Treetop on expand" toggle.
 | 
|---|
 | 1158 |  o Windows pulldown now lists external FM/2 windows, as does a submenu
 | 
|---|
 | 1159 |    on the container popup in VTree, VDir and AV/2 windows.
 | 
|---|
 | 1160 |  o Fixed some minor bugs in Commands menu generation.
 | 
|---|
 | 1161 |  o Fixed bug in Collector -- unshifted double-click didn't work on
 | 
|---|
 | 1162 |    directories.
 | 
|---|
 | 1163 |  o VDirs, external Archive Containers and Viewers now retain their last
 | 
|---|
 | 1164 |    set window size -- position is still determined by the Shell (PM).
 | 
|---|
 | 1165 |  o Lots of little tweaks no one but me will ever notice.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1166 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1167 | 2.39:
 | 
|---|
 | 1168 |  o Fixed weird bug -- apparently IBM changed the behavior of
 | 
|---|
 | 1169 |    MLM_QUERYFORMATTEXTLENGTH in Warp.  This change may only take effect
 | 
|---|
 | 1170 |    at FP10+ levels.
 | 
|---|
 | 1171 |  o Added Open Directory Container button to Drive Tree titlebar -- only
 | 
|---|
 | 1172 |    shows up when FM/2 is run as a monolithic app.
 | 
|---|
 | 1173 |  o Added "Directory" attributes to Filter dialog per user request --
 | 
|---|
 | 1174 |    lets you exclude directories from Directory Containers, or show only
 | 
|---|
 | 1175 |    directories.  NOTE:  if you are upgrading, you may need to go into
 | 
|---|
 | 1176 |    the Filter and turn on the Directory attribute -- it's on by default
 | 
|---|
 | 1177 |    for new installations.  Use the internal Settings notebook to
 | 
|---|
 | 1178 |    activate the Filter dialog (DirView and ColView pages) by setting the
 | 
|---|
 | 1179 |    focus to the Filter: entryfield, so that the "general" filter is
 | 
|---|
 | 1180 |    changed.
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 1181 |  o Help file improvements (a never ending saga).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1182 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1183 | 2.38:
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 1184 |  o Walk Directories dialog will now display non-writable drives unless
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1185 |    the directory selection is for an action that requires writing to the
 | 
|---|
 | 1186 |    selected directory (for example, copy or move, set extract directory,
 | 
|---|
 | 1187 |    etc.).
 | 
|---|
 | 1188 |  o Filtering in Drive Tree now available, per user request.  NOTE:
 | 
|---|
 | 1189 |    filtering is performed _after_ expansion; therefore, it is possible
 | 
|---|
 | 1190 |    for the Tree to "lie" to you until you expand a branch (i.e. indicate
 | 
|---|
 | 1191 |    that other directories are available, but remove the "+/-" when you
 | 
|---|
 | 1192 |    attempt to expand the branch.  If it's important for you to know what
 | 
|---|
 | 1193 |    the entire tree of a drive looks like with filtering applied, use the
 | 
|---|
 | 1194 |    Expand/Collapse->Expand command from the Files menu or a popup.  You
 | 
|---|
 | 1195 |    can thereafter collapse and expand the tree as desired.  Tricks can
 | 
|---|
 | 1196 |    be played with the filter mask; for instance, "/C:\OS2*;/C:\MMOS2*;
 | 
|---|
 | 1197 |    /C:\TCPIP*;*" will exclude some system directories on drive C: and
 | 
|---|
 | 1198 |    show everything else.
 | 
|---|
 | 1199 |  o Got rid of the annoying (to me, anyway) extra refresh when the
 | 
|---|
 | 1200 |    "Immediate Updates" toggle is not used (more cheating).
 | 
|---|
 | 1201 |  o Windows will now be created with the WS_ANIMATE style if "Animate"
 | 
|---|
 | 1202 |    toggle on internal Settings notebook's Windows page is checked.  Of
 | 
|---|
 | 1203 |    course, system animation must still be turned on to see any effect.
 | 
|---|
 | 1204 |  o Keyboard input of "standard" characters now performs a text search
 | 
|---|
 | 1205 |    to find the closest matching file system object in the container.
 | 
|---|
 | 1206 |    You can get the old (OS/2 default) behavior (move to nearest object
 | 
|---|
 | 1207 |    starting with the pressed letter) by holding down the shift key.
 | 
|---|
 | 1208 |  o When a background task that FM/2 is waiting on takes more than about
 | 
|---|
 | 1209 |    two seconds to complete its job, FM/2 will switch it to the
 | 
|---|
 | 1210 |    foreground.  This means that if an archive is encrypted (passworded),
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 1211 |    you'll get the opportunity to enter a password without having to
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1212 |    resort to the Window List to manually bring the window to the
 | 
|---|
 | 1213 |    foreground.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1214 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1215 | 2.37:
 | 
|---|
 | 1216 |  o Added "Autoview comments" notebook toggle (page 2) and Config menu
 | 
|---|
 | 1217 |    items for same.  You can have FM/2 autoview file contents _or_
 | 
|---|
 | 1218 |    .COMMENTS EAs -- handy for looking at files that were downloaded by
 | 
|---|
 | 1219 |    a package that puts the file description in that EA.  You can also
 | 
|---|
 | 1220 |    get to that EA on the third page of a WPS object's File page or via
 | 
|---|
 | 1221 |    FM/2's Edit EAs dialog, BTW.
 | 
|---|
 | 1222 |  o CTRL + Shift + B1 doubleclick opens an object's WPS Settings notebook.
 | 
|---|
 | 1223 |  o You can now link-drag a root directory (drive) from the Drive Tree.
 | 
|---|
 | 1224 |    For cryin' out loud, BE CAREFUL!
 | 
|---|
 | 1225 |  o Credit card registrations via BMT Micro are now available.
 | 
|---|
 | 1226 |  o Directory Containers can now have independent sorts if you DON'T use
 | 
|---|
 | 1227 |    the "Immediate Updates" toggle.  When you set a sort (or filter) in
 | 
|---|
 | 1228 |    the internal Settings notebook, you're setting a default for
 | 
|---|
 | 1229 |    subsequently created Directory Containers.  When you set a sort (or
 | 
|---|
 | 1230 |    filter) using the popup menu of a Directory Container, you're
 | 
|---|
 | 1231 |    changing only that container.  States will now also save the type of
 | 
|---|
 | 1232 |    view (Icon, Details, etc.), sort and filter settings for each open
 | 
|---|
 | 1233 |    Directory Container.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1234 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1235 | 2.36:
 | 
|---|
 | 1236 |  o Added "Rename existing" button to Rename dialog -- allows you to
 | 
|---|
 | 1237 |    rename (move) an existing target file system object out of the way
 | 
|---|
 | 1238 |    before moving or copying another file system object to that name.
 | 
|---|
 | 1239 |  o Fixed "obscure" bug (reporting user's words :-) causing FM/2 to
 | 
|---|
 | 1240 |    enter a loop when "Views" cascade was selected from the action
 | 
|---|
 | 1241 |    bar menu when an internal Archive Container was the current window.
 | 
|---|
 | 1242 |  o Tutorial section added to online help.
 | 
|---|
 | 1243 |  o When a bitmapped graphic file is viewed, the window is sized to fit
 | 
|---|
 | 1244 |    on the screen even when the image is larger than the screen.
 | 
|---|
 | 1245 |    Proportion is maintained for the initial window positioning.  You can
 | 
|---|
 | 1246 |    stretch the size of the window.  The bitmap is scaled to fit. GBM is,
 | 
|---|
 | 1247 |    of course, still required to directly view images in FM/2.
 | 
|---|
 | 1248 |  o Changed toolbar button help to "bubble" style, added toggle to disable.
 | 
|---|
 | 1249 |  o Added Directory Compare (DirCmp:) field to Files/Dirs page of internal
 | 
|---|
 | 1250 |    Settings notebook.
 | 
|---|
 | 1251 |  o Added %d and %D metastrings for Commands.
 | 
|---|
 | 1252 |  o Percentages in Directory Sizes dialog more accurate (to nearest
 | 
|---|
 | 1253 |    thousandth).
 | 
|---|
 | 1254 |  o "Include subdirectories" toggle in Directory Compare dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 1255 |  o Fixed bug in 2.35a's INSTALL.CMD.  Can you say "duh?"  Apparently I can.
 | 
|---|
 | 1256 |  o As usual, many little things no one will notice.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1257 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1258 | 2.35:
 | 
|---|
 | 1259 |  o Performance tuning.
 | 
|---|
 | 1260 |  o Implemented "minor" user suggestions.
 | 
|---|
 | 1261 |  o Added "Recent Dirs" toggle -- automatically adds temporary
 | 
|---|
 | 1262 |    directories to UserList as you change directories.  You can make them
 | 
|---|
 | 1263 |    permanent by Adding them as usual.
 | 
|---|
 | 1264 |  o FM/2 may handle DOS archivers now (actually, it does -- I tested with
 | 
|---|
 | 1265 |    ARJ); however, you'll have to set them up for yourself and I won't
 | 
|---|
 | 1266 |    support them.  Don't forget that DOS archivers don't support EAs.
 | 
|---|
 | 1267 |    AVOID WHENEVER POSSIBLE OR YOU'LL GET BURNED.
 | 
|---|
 | 1268 |  o If you have GBM.DLL on your LIBPATH or in the FM/2 directory, FM/2
 | 
|---|
 | 1269 |    will use it to display GBM-supported raster file types when they're
 | 
|---|
 | 1270 |    double-clicked.  GBM currently supports most OS/2 and Windows
 | 
|---|
 | 1271 |    bitmaps, .GIF, .PCX, .TIF, .TGA, .IFF, .VID, .PGM, .KPS, .IAX, .XBM,
 | 
|---|
 | 1272 |    .SPR, and .PSE files.  And it's free.
 | 
|---|
 | 1273 |  o Changed some icons around for a fresher look, added some for display
 | 
|---|
 | 1274 |    when you aren't loading icons from disk (for scanning speed).
 | 
|---|
 | 1275 |  o Added "Settings" button to Info dialog.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1276 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1277 | 2.34:
 | 
|---|
 | 1278 |  o Added "Tile backwards" toggle, but don't use it (it's a DOS-think
 | 
|---|
 | 1279 |    knee-jerk thing to do).
 | 
|---|
 | 1280 |  o Viewer won't "restore" the container that called it when it closes if
 | 
|---|
 | 1281 |    the container is maximized.
 | 
|---|
 | 1282 |  o Filtering speeded up when Autoview window is open.
 | 
|---|
 | 1283 |  o Show a little patch of color beside color names in Colors dialogs.
 | 
|---|
 | 1284 |  o Added "Folder after extract" toggle.
 | 
|---|
 | 1285 |  o Added ^F3 close monolithic app toggle (command id 1111 if anyone's
 | 
|---|
 | 1286 |    interested).
 | 
|---|
 | 1287 |  o More commands in INI viewer (rename, copy appname/keyname) and
 | 
|---|
 | 1288 |    enhanced existing Add/Edit INI record commands.
 | 
|---|
 | 1289 |  o Changed method of storing a few things so that they're both easily
 | 
|---|
 | 1290 |    human editable (for power users) and so they allow me to
 | 
|---|
 | 1291 |    "preconfigure" some things (for new users).  If you're upgrading from
 | 
|---|
 | 1292 |    previous versions, there's a CONVERT.EXE that'll copy your old
 | 
|---|
 | 1293 |    settings to the appropriate format and get rid of old baggage.
 | 
|---|
 | 1294 |  o Added "Userlist switches" toggle to internal Settings notebook.
 | 
|---|
 | 1295 |  o Added "%r/%R" to metastrings.
 | 
|---|
 | 1296 |  o Added "Extract" to drag and drop dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 1297 |  o Height of autoview window can be changed.
 | 
|---|
 | 1298 |  o More info displayed in drive info dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 1299 |  o INSTALL is a bit smarter.
 | 
|---|
 | 1300 |  o Added two new buttons on status line -- different behaviors depending on
 | 
|---|
 | 1301 |    whether you click with B1 or B2 and the shift state.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1302 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1303 | 2.33:
 | 
|---|
 | 1304 |  o Added new internal viewer -- loads files at least five times faster
 | 
|---|
 | 1305 |    than the old viewer (which is still available via a toggle in the
 | 
|---|
 | 1306 |    internal Settings notebook).
 | 
|---|
 | 1307 |  o See all files window retains settings, is a bit slicker.
 | 
|---|
 | 1308 |  o Fixed bug -- rename box came up for each file moved/copied.
 | 
|---|
 | 1309 |  o Fixed bug -- FM/2 didn't start right with toolbar turned off.  Weird.
 | 
|---|
 | 1310 |  o Worked around Warp bug -- PM locks up if you select a codepage that
 | 
|---|
 | 1311 |    hasn't been prepared.  This should be ignored as in previous versions
 | 
|---|
 | 1312 |    of OS/2, but crashes the system instead (sheesh).
 | 
|---|
 | 1313 |  o Warp apparently still has a 64k limit to what the clipboard can hold.
 | 
|---|
 | 1314 |    While I could limit what you send to the clipboard, this is (hopefully)
 | 
|---|
 | 1315 |    one of those limits which will vanish with further updates to OS/2
 | 
|---|
 | 1316 |    itself, so I'll just caution you about it.
 | 
|---|
 | 1317 |  o Colors are adjustable in See all files windows.
 | 
|---|
 | 1318 |  o Several fonts are available in See all files windows (all fixed width).
 | 
|---|
 | 1319 |  o See all files window allows entering multiple keys to find a file if
 | 
|---|
 | 1320 |    the keys are entered within one second of each other.
 | 
|---|
 | 1321 |  o System info command made somewhat more human-readable.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1322 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1323 | 2.32:
 | 
|---|
 | 1324 |  o See all files window fleshed out.
 | 
|---|
 | 1325 |  o Added "Viewer outside," "Arcboxes outside," "INI viewer outside" and
 | 
|---|
 | 1326 |    "Collector outside" toggles to Toggles2 page of internal Settings
 | 
|---|
 | 1327 |    notebook.
 | 
|---|
 | 1328 |  o Added "Save" button to Directory Sizes dialog
 | 
|---|
 | 1329 |  o Sort type can now be changed in Details view by holding ALT and
 | 
|---|
 | 1330 |    clicking the title of the field to sort on (assuming titles are
 | 
|---|
 | 1331 |    turned on and the field is one for which sorting is available,
 | 
|---|
 | 1332 |    of course).
 | 
|---|
 | 1333 |  o Added toggle to allow user to select default delete type.
 | 
|---|
 | 1334 |  o Added "toolbox" dropdown to user lists.
 | 
|---|
 | 1335 |  o Added sample toolboxes to archive.
 | 
|---|
 | 1336 |  o Info and EA dialogs now include listbox, lets you scroll through all
 | 
|---|
 | 1337 |    objects instead of popping up for each selected object.  EAS.EXE
 | 
|---|
 | 1338 |    mini-app inherits this; now accepts multiple filenames.
 | 
|---|
 | 1339 |  o Check list dialogs now allow calling up the Info dialog for files in
 | 
|---|
 | 1340 |    the list.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1341 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1342 | 2.31:
 | 
|---|
 | 1343 |  o Added "Minimize to databar" toggle, also accessible as a standalone
 | 
|---|
 | 1344 |    miniapp.
 | 
|---|
 | 1345 |  o Tree remembers directories, once expanded.
 | 
|---|
 | 1346 |  o An individual drive may now be rescanned in the Drive Tree (related
 | 
|---|
 | 1347 |    to the above).
 | 
|---|
 | 1348 |  o More keyboard shortcuts for the rodently challenged.
 | 
|---|
 | 1349 |  o Drag from recessed text fields in Directory and Archive Containers
 | 
|---|
 | 1350 |    now possible (drags the directory or archive, respectively).
 | 
|---|
 | 1351 |  o Default Commands command (Do it yourself) added.
 | 
|---|
 | 1352 |  o Extract path can now be assigned "*" meaning "use directory in which
 | 
|---|
 | 1353 |    the archive resides."
 | 
|---|
 | 1354 |  o More menu compaction (well, you think of a term for it).
 | 
|---|
 | 1355 |  o New "See all files" window (still under construction, but already
 | 
|---|
 | 1356 |    much faster and very functional, without the standard listbox
 | 
|---|
 | 1357 |    limitation of 32767 maximum items).  Loads, sorts and displays
 | 
|---|
 | 1358 |    15,792 files from two local fixed drives in 18 seconds on my
 | 
|---|
 | 1359 |    486/66DX2 with normal (for me, of course) background load.
 | 
|---|
 | 1360 |  o Fixed buglet in Archive Container status display.
 | 
|---|
 | 1361 |  o More user suggestions implemented.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1362 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1363 | 2.30:
 | 
|---|
 | 1364 |  o I forget.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1365 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1366 | 2.29:
 | 
|---|
 | 1367 |  o Added "Topic" entry field in Bookshelf Viewer dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 1368 |  o Added "Quick arc find" toggle in Settings notebook; can speed up
 | 
|---|
 | 1369 |    drag and drop operations on floppy/network drives.
 | 
|---|
 | 1370 |  o Worked around PM bug in custom frame controls.
 | 
|---|
 | 1371 |  o Added "Directory Container state" saving and restoring in a dropdown
 | 
|---|
 | 1372 |    list (turned on with "Toggle quicklists" under Config menu).
 | 
|---|
 | 1373 |  o Fixed drag and drop bug (couldn't move, duh).  Smartened up drag and
 | 
|---|
 | 1374 |    drop while I was at it; no sense offering options not really
 | 
|---|
 | 1375 |    available due to media type (i.e. can't copy to a CD-ROM).
 | 
|---|
 | 1376 |  o Added "Launch" button to drag and drop dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 1377 |  o Added quick-help for dropdown lists (in status box 2).
 | 
|---|
 | 1378 |  o Added ability to drop onto userlist dropdown to add a directory.
 | 
|---|
 | 1379 |    Also added popup maintenance menu (add and delete directories to/from
 | 
|---|
 | 1380 |    list).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1381 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1382 | 2.28:
 | 
|---|
 | 1383 |  o Added optional user directory list dropdown box on main window
 | 
|---|
 | 1384 |    (maintenance of the list is still performed in the Walk Directories
 | 
|---|
 | 1385 |    dialog).
 | 
|---|
 | 1386 |  o Added Drives submenu on Drive Tree's views context menu -- select a
 | 
|---|
 | 1387 |    drive from it and the tree scrolls to show it and makes it the
 | 
|---|
 | 1388 |    current object.
 | 
|---|
 | 1389 |  o Restricted filename quoting in command lines to absolute essentials
 | 
|---|
 | 1390 |    -- some programs are broken and choke on quoted filenames.  We
 | 
|---|
 | 1391 |    absolutely cannot have LIST choking if it can be avoided.
 | 
|---|
 | 1392 |  o Double-clicking a directory in the Drive Tree container will cause an
 | 
|---|
 | 1393 |    existing Directory Container looking into that directory, if one
 | 
|---|
 | 1394 |    exists, to come to the foreground rather than opening a new one; if
 | 
|---|
 | 1395 |    the existing window is minimized, it'll be restored. Ditto for new
 | 
|---|
 | 1396 |    userlist dropdown.
 | 
|---|
 | 1397 |  o FM/2 can now launch Windows apps seamless -- maybe.  Sheesh, I'd
 | 
|---|
 | 1398 |    use a DOS app first...
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1399 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1400 | 2.27:
 | 
|---|
 | 1401 |  o Added "Move & rename" and "Copy & rename" commands per user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 1402 |    This extends into the drag and drop dialog (said dialog is now on by
 | 
|---|
 | 1403 |    default, BTW).
 | 
|---|
 | 1404 |  o Many tiny tweaks that no one will ever notice (for instance,
 | 
|---|
 | 1405 |    filenames containing "&" are now quoted on command lines where they
 | 
|---|
 | 1406 |    weren't before).
 | 
|---|
 | 1407 |  o Added EXAMPLE.CMD to archive as an example of how REXX scripts can
 | 
|---|
 | 1408 |    manipulate files listed in listfiles created by FM/2.  This allows
 | 
|---|
 | 1409 |    Commands to circumvent the apx. 1000 character limit of OS/2 command
 | 
|---|
 | 1410 |    lines.
 | 
|---|
 | 1411 |  o Made notification window look more homogenous.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1412 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1413 | 2.26:
 | 
|---|
 | 1414 |  o Fixed stupid new bug in moving files from HPFS->FAT with long
 | 
|---|
 | 1415 |    filenames.
 | 
|---|
 | 1416 |  o Fixed bug in RemoteBug fix that conflicted with another fix for
 | 
|---|
 | 1417 |    remote FSD bugs.  I'm getting sick of working around remote FSD
 | 
|---|
 | 1418 |    bugs -- think I'll just let the LAN folks fix _their_ stuff from
 | 
|---|
 | 1419 |    now on...
 | 
|---|
 | 1420 |  o Made titlebar of Drive Tree containers respond to request for context
 | 
|---|
 | 1421 |    menu as if it were container whitespace per user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 1422 |  o Added "Min on dir open" toggle -- a more elegant solution to a taste
 | 
|---|
 | 1423 |    thing (IMHO) than a user requested feature.
 | 
|---|
 | 1424 |  o Chord on status windows brings up window dialog like it does on
 | 
|---|
 | 1425 |    client window whitespace.
 | 
|---|
 | 1426 |  o Added "Append to clipboard" command to internal viewer/editor's
 | 
|---|
 | 1427 |    Edit menu.
 | 
|---|
 | 1428 |  o Moved "Write block" command out of Edit->Blocks submenu of internal
 | 
|---|
 | 1429 |    viewer/editor to the main Edit submenu as "Copy to file" so it's
 | 
|---|
 | 1430 |    accessible in readonly (viewing) mode while I was at it.
 | 
|---|
 | 1431 |  o Added informational tweaking to viewer/editor's Edit->Undo menu
 | 
|---|
 | 1432 |    command.
 | 
|---|
 | 1433 |  o Added "Walk" button to Seek and scan dialog.
 | 
|---|
 | 1434 |  o Added special FM/2 Association command line "<>" to indicate that the
 | 
|---|
 | 1435 |    default WPS view should be opened for matching files.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1436 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1437 | 2.25:
 | 
|---|
 | 1438 |  o Added "Edit" and "Refresh" to Archive Containers per user request.
 | 
|---|
 | 1439 |  o Added Drag and drop dialog and corresponding toggle per user request.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1440 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1441 | 2.24:
 | 
|---|
 | 1442 |  o Added "Remote bug" toggle since network FSD developers can't seem to
 | 
|---|
 | 1443 |    consistently produce working DosFindFirst/Next code to save their
 | 
|---|
 | 1444 |    lives.
 | 
|---|
 | 1445 |  o Undelete enhancements.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1446 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1447 | 2.23:
 | 
|---|
 | 1448 |  o Enhancements to potential dupe finder per user requests and other
 | 
|---|
 | 1449 |    stuff I thunk up all by my lonesome.
 | 
|---|
 | 1450 |  o Placed "Seek and scan" on the Utility pulldown.  All it does is
 | 
|---|
 | 1451 |    start the Collector and post it a WM_COMMAND message as though you'd
 | 
|---|
 | 1452 |    clicked Seek and scan on its context menu.  Maybe even folks who
 | 
|---|
 | 1453 |    don't read the help can find it now (who knows?).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1454 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1455 | 2.22:
 | 
|---|
 | 1456 |  o Additional detail and options are presented when FM/2 can't figure
 | 
|---|
 | 1457 |    out how to list the contents of an archive (ARCHIVER.BB2
 | 
|---|
 | 1458 |    misconfigured or archive bad) via new dialog.  This should make
 | 
|---|
 | 1459 |    determining what the archive problem is much easier when the
 | 
|---|
 | 1460 |    inevitable problem arises.
 | 
|---|
 | 1461 |  o Added duplicate file finder to Seek-and-Scan dialog.  Finds files
 | 
|---|
 | 1462 |    with same name and/or size and filedate.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1463 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1464 | 2.21:
 | 
|---|
 | 1465 |  o Shift and CTRL modifiers for double-clicking objects in Drive Tree,
 | 
|---|
 | 1466 |    Directory Containers and Collector implemented.  Shift causes new
 | 
|---|
 | 1467 |    FM/2 window to open (directories; direct to View for files), CTRL
 | 
|---|
 | 1468 |    causes default WPS open.
 | 
|---|
 | 1469 |  o More stuff in the help file (sheesh -- this has gotta stop).  The
 | 
|---|
 | 1470 |    online help should now make a rather complete manual when printed
 | 
|---|
 | 1471 |    together with the READ.ME file (see READ.ME for suggestions).
 | 
|---|
 | 1472 |  o INSTALL now makes an object for the online help so that it can be
 | 
|---|
 | 1473 |    viewed without starting FM/2 (using SEEHELP.EXE, included).
 | 
|---|
 | 1474 |  o Added Filter "Always show directories" toggle.
 | 
|---|
 | 1475 |  o Ideal size button supports a psuedo-restore operation, allowing
 | 
|---|
 | 1476 |    toggling between two sizes (mine and yours).
 | 
|---|
 | 1477 |  o Other stuff I forget.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1478 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1479 | 2.20:
 | 
|---|
 | 1480 |  o Fixed stupid bug that made FM/2 freak out on restart if you turned the
 | 
|---|
 | 1481 |    toolbar off and left it off (duh).
 | 
|---|
 | 1482 |  o Move-drag onto archives allowed now (if you have the archiver for that
 | 
|---|
 | 1483 |    archive type configured to allow moving files, of course).
 | 
|---|
 | 1484 |  o Fixed bug in longname<->shortname conversion (FAT<->HPFS).
 | 
|---|
 | 1485 |  o Found a nasty way to get Warp's printer objects to recognize FM/2's
 | 
|---|
 | 1486 |    D&D.
 | 
|---|
 | 1487 |  o Extract dialog can be told to remember its settings (extract directory,
 | 
|---|
 | 1488 |    masks, "with directories") distinctly from those set in Archive
 | 
|---|
 | 1489 |    Containers.
 | 
|---|
 | 1490 |  o Added a few pictures to the online help for extreme novices.
 | 
|---|
 | 1491 |  o Added new "Compare Select" submenu with commands that can make
 | 
|---|
 | 1492 |    selections based on comparing unfiltered files in all open Directory
 | 
|---|
 | 1493 |    Containers.  Powerful stuff.
 | 
|---|
 | 1494 |  o Added "Hide objects" command (selective individual object filtering).
 | 
|---|
 | 1495 |  o Fixed bug -- drag to toolbar quit working when toolbar code rewritten.
 | 
|---|
 | 1496 |  o Slight modification to ARCHIVER.BB2 -- -1 for filename position means
 | 
|---|
 | 1497 |    to use the last "field" of an archive listing for the filename.
 | 
|---|
 | 1498 |  o FM/2 is compiled with optimization turned off now -- caught it
 | 
|---|
 | 1499 |    generating bad code in the new Compare Select module and don't trust
 | 
|---|
 | 1500 |    it (again).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1501 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1502 | 2.19:
 | 
|---|
 | 1503 |  o Added "Ideal size" System Menu command and titlebar button -- an
 | 
|---|
 | 1504 |    alternative to maximizing.
 | 
|---|
 | 1505 |  o More work on help file hypertext links using suggestions from a
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 1506 |    registered user.  Added a labeled bitmap showing the layout of FM/2
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1507 |    windows.
 | 
|---|
 | 1508 |  o Worked around weird bugs in Sizes and deleting toolbar buttons that
 | 
|---|
 | 1509 |    shouldn't be bugs but nonetheless cause problems on some machines.
 | 
|---|
 | 1510 |  o Added some one-line help fields to some dialogs to guide the user
 | 
|---|
 | 1511 |    along.
 | 
|---|
 | 1512 |  o Added the "Close" checkbox to the Edit Associations dialog, to allow
 | 
|---|
 | 1513 |    executing an association to shut down FM/2 (or a VDir window, mainly
 | 
|---|
 | 1514 |    for use by folks using FM/2 to replace the Drives objects).
 | 
|---|
 | 1515 |  o Added "Start Minimized" and "Start Maximized" buttons to the Windows
 | 
|---|
 | 1516 |    page of the Settings notebook.  FM/2 starts normal size then adjusts
 | 
|---|
 | 1517 |    (that lets it size all its windows right first, and gives you something
 | 
|---|
 | 1518 |    to return to from the maximized state).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1519 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1520 | 2.18:
 | 
|---|
 | 1521 |  o Added ability to use the undocumented DosQProcStat API in the Process
 | 
|---|
 | 1522 |    Killer.  While this will enable the Process Killer to work without an
 | 
|---|
 | 1523 |    English version of PSTAT.EXE being present, DosQProcStat is an API
 | 
|---|
 | 1524 |    subject to change by IBM, so beware.
 | 
|---|
 | 1525 |  o Added FATOPT.EXE program to optimize FAT drives.  THIS IS A BETA
 | 
|---|
 | 1526 |    PROGRAM AND USES LOW-LEVEL DRIVE ACCESS -- BACK UP BEFORE USING!
 | 
|---|
 | 1527 |  o Tweaked the online help, adding more hypertext links and detail.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1528 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1529 | 2.17:
 | 
|---|
 | 1530 |  o Optimized for speed:  Quick trees, tree sizes.
 | 
|---|
 | 1531 |  o Dug the names of the new color palettes out of Warp's INI files.
 | 
|---|
 | 1532 |    Under 2.x both color palette commands (one new) load the same object.
 | 
|---|
 | 1533 |    Under Warp they load the two different palette objects available.
 | 
|---|
 | 1534 |  o Added swapfile/memory watch when Drive Tree is active window in FM/2.
 | 
|---|
 | 1535 |  o Added HPFSOPT.EXE program to optimize HPFS drives.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1536 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1537 | 2.16:
 | 
|---|
 | 1538 |  o Added "Update objects" command.
 | 
|---|
 | 1539 |  o Added "Optimize" command.  Be sure to read the online help on this
 | 
|---|
 | 1540 |    one (under "Context Menus").
 | 
|---|
 | 1541 |  o Added toolbar changing buttons (buttons that automatically load a
 | 
|---|
 | 1542 |    new toolbox into the toolbar).  See comments in online help under
 | 
|---|
 | 1543 |    "Toolbar->Add Tool."
 | 
|---|
 | 1544 |  o Hmmm...Warp has broken the DM_DROPHELP message within an application
 | 
|---|
 | 1545 |    -- the passed DRAGINFO structure is inaccessible (apparently already
 | 
|---|
 | 1546 |    deallocated).  An appropriate error message will be displayed, and
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 1547 |    the code's still there so that when IBM fixes it it'll automatically
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1548 |    start working again.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1549 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1550 | 2.15:
 | 
|---|
 | 1551 |  o Added "Collect list in file(s)" command.
 | 
|---|
 | 1552 |  o Added "Collect from a list file" command.
 | 
|---|
 | 1553 |  o Added "Select List" command.
 | 
|---|
 | 1554 |  o System VIO fonts have been renamed, jumping between "System" and
 | 
|---|
 | 1555 |    "System VIO", a couple of times now.  To top it off, when the name
 | 
|---|
 | 1556 |    changes, the sizes do, too (i.e. 7.System == 5.System VIO, more or
 | 
|---|
 | 1557 |    less).  Warp is now GA and uses "System VIO" again, so I've changed
 | 
|---|
 | 1558 |    it back to that.  If some fonts don't look right on your 2.11 system,
 | 
|---|
 | 1559 |    I'm sorry, but I'm trying to hit a moving target.  Don't shoot me,
 | 
|---|
 | 1560 |    I'm just the piano player.
 | 
|---|
 | 1561 |  o Did some other stuff, but forgot to write it down and have now
 | 
|---|
 | 1562 |    forgotten what it was.  Old age is hell.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1563 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1564 | 2.14:
 | 
|---|
 | 1565 |  o FM/2 will now detect that a CD-ROM drive which didn't have a disk in
 | 
|---|
 | 1566 |    it or had a music disk in it when FM/2 was started is a CD-ROM drive
 | 
|---|
 | 1567 |    when accessed later with a data disk in it, and change the icon
 | 
|---|
 | 1568 |    accordingly.  This also applies to hard drives that were locked when
 | 
|---|
 | 1569 |    FM/2 started, by happy coincidence, and should work on other
 | 
|---|
 | 1570 |    removable media drives.
 | 
|---|
 | 1571 |  o Hints given in error popup for some access errors (for example, when
 | 
|---|
 | 1572 |    clicking on an empty diskette drive).
 | 
|---|
 | 1573 |  o Install.cmd will not change the parameters field of objects that it
 | 
|---|
 | 1574 |    creates if the File Manager/2 folder already existed.  It will still
 | 
|---|
 | 1575 |    update the paths.
 | 
|---|
 | 1576 |  o VTree honors drive exclusions like it should have in the first place.
 | 
|---|
 | 1577 |  o VTree will delete a directory if the Shredder refuses for some reason.
 | 
|---|
 | 1578 |  o Added VTree->WPS folder toggle.
 | 
|---|
 | 1579 |  o Shortened VTree tasklist title for registered users.
 | 
|---|
 | 1580 |  o FM/2 will attempt to fit smaller files onto diskettes when a larger
 | 
|---|
 | 1581 |    file in the list to be moved/copied won't fit before prompting you to
 | 
|---|
 | 1582 |    change diskettes due to a disk full condition.
 | 
|---|
 | 1583 |  o Help for toolbar buttons shows up when mouse passes over them --
 | 
|---|
 | 1584 |    figured out how to implement without excessive message passing (IOW,
 | 
|---|
 | 1585 |    to my satisfaction).
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1586 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1587 | 2.13:
 | 
|---|
 | 1588 |  o Added ability to set type of selection used in some containers (in
 | 
|---|
 | 1589 |    the Settings Notebook on the "Windows" page).
 | 
|---|
 | 1590 |  o Selecting "Settings Notebook" in the FM3.EXE monolithic app, even
 | 
|---|
 | 1591 |    from container context menus, will always bring up a full settings
 | 
|---|
 | 1592 |    notebook.
 | 
|---|
 | 1593 |  o Slightly reduced memory usage for HPFS drives (ah, another reason
 | 
|---|
 | 1594 |    to use HPFS...).
 | 
|---|
 | 1595 |  o Fixed bug in SetIcon.
 | 
|---|
 | 1596 |  o Did some more work on FM2PLAY.EXE to make it more eye-appealing and
 | 
|---|
 | 1597 |    maybe a bit more functional.
 | 
|---|
 | 1598 |  o Shortened tasklist title for registered users.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1599 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1600 | 2.12:
 | 
|---|
 | 1601 |  o AV/2 will now ignore an association if it contains the string
 | 
|---|
 | 1602 |    "AV2.EXE" in the command line (meaning it might call itself).
 | 
|---|
 | 1603 |  o Fixed "Lowercase name" bug.
 | 
|---|
 | 1604 |  o Worked over the context menus again, added a couple more
 | 
|---|
 | 1605 |    accelerator keys.
 | 
|---|
 | 1606 |  o Hooked Help button in Child Window dialog to some help.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1607 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1608 | 2.11:
 | 
|---|
 | 1609 |  o Fixed odd bug in second status line in Directory Containers.
 | 
|---|
 | 1610 |  o Fixed rename buglet that caused rename from menu/button to
 | 
|---|
 | 1611 |    give funny default drive.
 | 
|---|
 | 1612 |  o Added drag and drop to INI Viewer to allow moving and copying
 | 
|---|
 | 1613 |    data between different INI files.
 | 
|---|
 | 1614 |  o Added FM2PLAY.EXE to allow playing multimedia files (via MMPM/2)
 | 
|---|
 | 1615 |    from FM/2 easily.  Usage:  FM2PLAY.EXE <file> [<file> <file...>].
 | 
|---|
 | 1616 |    There's a menu item for it.
 | 
|---|
 | 1617 |  o Added "associat.txt" containing recommended associations for use
 | 
|---|
 | 1618 |    with FM/2.  Please send your ideas for this list.
 | 
|---|
 | 1619 |  o Enhanced the Bookshelf Viewer.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1620 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1621 | 2.10:
 | 
|---|
 | 1622 |  o Added Undo buttons to Settings notebook pages.
 | 
|---|
 | 1623 |  o Fixed bug wherein Save state of dir windows toggle was ignored.
 | 
|---|
 | 1624 |  o Put in some comma formatting to prevent an untimely death.
 | 
|---|
 | 1625 |  o Fixed bug wherein Doubleclick Opens toggle was ignored.
 | 
|---|
 | 1626 |  o Added a couple more Settings pages.
 | 
|---|
 | 1627 |  o Made appropriate Settings pages available to standalone modules.
 | 
|---|
 | 1628 |  o Tweaked a few menus for a more consistent appearance.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1629 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1630 | 2.09:
 | 
|---|
 | 1631 |  o Changed things so the little notification box doesn't steal the
 | 
|---|
 | 1632 |    focus when it comes up.  Duh.
 | 
|---|
 | 1633 |  o Added "Backup Profile", "Change System Profiles" and "Replace System
 | 
|---|
 | 1634 |    Profiles" to the INI viewer.
 | 
|---|
 | 1635 |  o Fixed some glitches in new mask "must have" attribute processing.
 | 
|---|
 | 1636 |  o Found and fixed bug in Collector's Seek & Scan that could cause FM/2
 | 
|---|
 | 1637 |    to trap.
 | 
|---|
 | 1638 |  o Added a Settings notebook containing global toggles and such.
 | 
|---|
| [1420] | 1639 |    Slower than the menus, but Ron Hester asked for it, and I always do
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1640 |    what Ron says...
 | 
|---|
 | 1641 |  o Return of the weirding ... but that'd be telling.
 | 
|---|
 | 1642 |  o Added optional split status line.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1643 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1644 | 2.08:
 | 
|---|
 | 1645 |  o Added "must have" attributes to Filter.
 | 
|---|
 | 1646 |  o Fixed Undelete dialog so selecting a new drive from the combobox
 | 
|---|
 | 1647 |    causes the listbox to be refreshed for that drive, and so a missing
 | 
|---|
 | 1648 |    DELETE environment variable for the selected drive doesn't cause the
 | 
|---|
 | 1649 |    dialog to abort unless you select Cancel in the information box (so
 | 
|---|
 | 1650 |    you can pick a different drive).
 | 
|---|
 | 1651 |  o Added limited optional logging for some simple but critical
 | 
|---|
 | 1652 |    operations (copy, move, rename, delete).
 | 
|---|
 | 1653 |  o Documented "start minimized" command line argument.
 | 
|---|
 | 1654 |  o Added "don't save/restore state of dir windows this time" command
 | 
|---|
 | 1655 |    line argument.
 | 
|---|
| [58] | 1656 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1657 | 2.07:
 | 
|---|
 | 1658 |  o Added "View Bookshelf" and "View Helpfiles" utilities.
 | 
|---|
 | 1659 |  o Fixed bug in Quick Tree added while fixing the last one...
 | 
|---|
 | 1660 |  o VTree now saves its size and position on desktop (Ron Gawer wanted
 | 
|---|
 | 1661 |    that).  VDir doesn't, as you can have several of them open at once
 | 
|---|
 | 1662 |    and it would be somewhat irritating to have them all on top of each
 | 
|---|
 | 1663 |    other.
 | 
|---|
| [81] | 1664 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1665 | 2.06:
 | 
|---|
 | 1666 |  o In the Collector's Seek-and-scan dialog, the All HDs button now skips
 | 
|---|
 | 1667 |    removable drives (like CD-ROMs) for convenience.
 | 
|---|
 | 1668 |  o Quick tree works around the OS/2 DosFindFirst bug that prevents FAT
 | 
|---|
 | 1669 |    root drives from being found.
 | 
|---|
 | 1670 |  o Added "separator" attribute for tool buttons -- causes a small amount
 | 
|---|
 | 1671 |    of space to be added after the button with the attribute, for
 | 
|---|
 | 1672 |    appearance (grouping of buttons).
 | 
|---|
 | 1673 |  o Added ability to turn on titles below bitmap buttons in toolbar (it'll
 | 
|---|
 | 1674 |    have to be short and sweet) and grouped all toolbar toggles under a
 | 
|---|
 | 1675 |    Toolbar conditional cascade submenu.
 | 
|---|
| [81] | 1676 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1677 | [lazy bum skipped a few...]
 | 
|---|
| [81] | 1678 | 
 | 
|---|
| [111] | 1679 | 2.00:
 | 
|---|
 | 1680 |  o A whole new look for FM/2 -- the same thing, only more so.  Some
 | 
|---|
 | 1681 |    things were enhanced, some dropped, some replaced or superceded.
 | 
|---|
 | 1682 |    Still, if you used 1.x you should feel at home.
