|
---|
| 18 | to fname. Fortunately it displays compressed size as 0 since it can't deal with the non

---|
| 656 | o Correct internal viewer WM_VSCROLL logic (amouse)

|
---|

|
---|
[58] | 676 |
|
---|
[111] | 677 | 3.02:
|
---|
| 678 | o First open source release.
|
---|
[58] | 679 |
|
---|
[111] | 680 | 3.01:
|
---|
| 681 | o Added another archiver date type for user Jans-Peter Otto.
|
---|
[58] | 682 |
|
---|
[111] | 683 | 3.00d:
|
---|
| 684 | o FM/2 Lite remembers if a directory pane was maximized when it
|
---|
| 685 | closed now (duh -- should have all along, I just forgot).
|
---|
[58] | 686 |
|
---|
[111] | 687 | 3.00c:
|
---|
| 688 | o More minor bug fixes.
|
---|
[58] | 689 |
|
---|
[111] | 690 | 3.00b:
|
---|
| 691 | o Fix two minor bugs reported by users.
|
---|
[58] | 692 |
|
---|
[111] | 693 | 3.00:
|
---|
| 694 | o Most of the text in FM/2 is now accessible from outside the source
|
---|
| 695 | code files, meaning translations to other languages should now be
|
---|
| 696 | possible without much problem. A resource translation kit is offered
|
---|
| 697 | free-of-charge to registered users. This required some additional
|
---|
| 698 | files (FM3RES.DLL and FM3RES.STR), but FM3DLL.DLL becomes (at least)
|
---|
| 699 | correspondingly smaller.
|
---|
| 700 | o Jazzed up Autoview a bit.
|
---|
| 701 | o Removed a bug that sneaked in during code optimization detected by
|
---|
| 702 | a user where archive members couldn't be dragged. Then optimized
|
---|
| 703 | some more, thus tempting fate.
|
---|
| 704 | o Improved FM/2's internal window selection from menus.
|
---|
| 705 | o The status button in Directory Containers that shows the selected
|
---|
| 706 | number of files and bytes now displays a select menu when clicked.
|
---|
| 707 | o Drive buttons will now show free space on drives as bubble help
|
---|
| 708 | except for CD-ROM drives, diskette drives A: and B:, and drives
|
---|
| 709 | marked as "slow" in the drive flags dialog. I also made the buttons
|
---|
| 710 | a little bigger, and they'll "stack" if required due to insufficient
|
---|
| 711 | width.
|
---|
| 712 | o Removed System Information applet from FM/2 -- OS/2 seems to have
|
---|
| 713 | this stuff built-in now.
|
---|
| 714 | o Moved MakeArc into the FM/2 Utilities package.
|
---|
| 715 | o You can now add selected environment variables that list directories
|
---|
| 716 | (like PATH, LIBPATH and DPATH) to the Drive Tree with a toggle in
|
---|
| 717 | the internal Settings notebook on the Tree page. Cool.
|
---|
| 718 | o You can now set a default Target directory for menu and accelerator
|
---|
| 719 | key copy and move operations, and choose to confirm (and perhaps
|
---|
| 720 | change) that directory on each operation, or accept it without
|
---|
| 721 | confirmation.
|
---|
| 722 | o FM/2 will now make program object Parameters suggestions the first
|
---|
| 723 | time it's run (no FM3.INI exists) if you should exclude any drives,
|
---|
| 724 | and will even set the Parameters for you if you like.
|
---|
| 725 | o Yet more tweaking that no one will ever notice...
|
---|
[58] | 726 |
|
---|
[111] | 727 | 2.67:
|
---|
| 728 | o Jazzed up the mini-command line a bit.
|
---|
| 729 | o Command lines for the Execute dialog and mini-command line are now
|
---|
| 730 | saved separately (the former in CMDLINES.DAT, the latter in
|
---|
| 731 | CMDMINI.DAT, same format). You can save, or not, either type for
|
---|
| 732 | recall.
|
---|
[58] | 733 |
|
---|
[111] | 734 | 2.66:
|
---|
| 735 | o Increased duration of error window to 5 seconds from 3 (click it to
|
---|
| 736 | make it vanish early), changed background color to white and text
|
---|
| 737 | color to dark red, surrounded with red rectangle to make it stand out
|
---|
| 738 | more. Also gave it a distinctive sound. (This is the error window
|
---|
| 739 | you get if you do something like try to open the diskette drive when
|
---|
| 740 | there's no diskette inserted.)
|
---|
| 741 | o Killed bug reported by Paulo Mario where FM/2 could crash (suddenly
|
---|
| 742 | exit) after moving a file and overwriting an existing file.
|
---|
| 743 | o Reworked Databar a bit.
|
---|
| 744 | o For the adventurous among you, try holding Shift or Ctrl while
|
---|
| 745 | clicking that second status window in a Directory Container...
|
---|
[58] | 746 |
|
---|
[111] | 747 | 2.65:
|
---|
| 748 | o You can drag an object onto the Drive tree's Open button now, and
|
---|
| 749 | a Directory Container for that object will be opened.
|
---|
| 750 | o Long-overdue code cleanup begins...
|
---|
| 751 | o Fixed bug in FM/2 Lite where it was sorta paying attention to the
|
---|
| 752 | "bottom buttons" setting in FM/2 when it should ignore it.
|
---|
| 753 | o Played with FM/2's default settings for new users -- some of the
|
---|
| 754 | best stuff was turned off by default!
|
---|
| 755 | o Changed the behavior of the Rename dialog somewhat per user
|
---|
| 756 | suggestion. "Overwrite if target older or same," "Overwrite if
|
---|
| 757 | target newer" and "Don't ask again" checkboxes now allow you to
|
---|
| 758 | selectively skip being asked about naming conflicts for the rest of
|
---|
| 759 | an operation. Note that clicking the "Okay" button honors these
|
---|
| 760 | choices, but the "Overwrite" button overrides them for that one file
|
---|
| 761 | (an overwrite _will_ be performed).
|
---|
[58] | 762 |
|
---|
[111] | 763 | 2.64:
|
---|
| 764 | o Made Window->Tile a cascade menu with Tile as the default, but you
|
---|
| 765 | can also set Autotile and Tile backwards toggles (renamed Tile
|
---|
| 766 | horizontal) there.
|
---|
| 767 | o More help file work.
|
---|
| 768 | o Tweaking of a few things no one will ever notice, except perhaps
|
---|
| 769 | as a feeling of more smoothness in a few places.
|
---|
| 770 | o Added "Leave all attrs" button to Attributes dialog to make
|
---|
| 771 | "touching" files easier.
|
---|
[58] | 772 |
|
---|
[111] | 773 | 2.63:
|
---|
| 774 | o Fixed bug in UNDEL.EXE pointed out by a user.
|
---|
| 775 | o Added "Double-click" topic to Tutorial section of help. Did you know
|
---|
| 776 | that you can make FM/2 do something different when you double-click
|
---|
| 777 | an object? Other miscellaneous work on the help file.
|
---|
| 778 | o Moved "Create shadows" command under "Copy" cascade in menus where no
|
---|
| 779 | separate "Create objects" cascade is available and a "Copy" cascade
|
---|
| 780 | is available.
|
---|
| 781 | o Made the way menus appear on new View and Sort buttons more
|
---|
| 782 | attractive (IMHO).
|
---|
| 783 | o Bubble help won't appear if the window isn't active now (oversight).
|
---|
| 784 | o To make it easier to parse the saved output from a Directory sizes
|
---|
| 785 | window, directory names containing spaces are now surrounded by quote
|
---|
| 786 | marks.
|
---|
| 787 | o Related: Put SEEHELP.EXE into FM2UTILS.ZIP for those who have
|
---|
| 788 | versions of OS/2 with VIEW.EXEs that won't read .HLP files directly.
|
---|
| 789 | You can read the FM/2 help file directly using this program on such
|
---|
| 790 | systems: "SEEHELP FM3.HLP".
|
---|
[58] | 791 |
|
---|
[111] | 792 | 2.62:
|
---|
| 793 | o Added /SAVE and /NOSAVE to mini-command line options for a user.
|
---|
[58] | 794 |
|
---|
[111] | 795 | 2.61:
|
---|
| 796 | o Added new buttons to Directory Container, Archive Containers and the
|
---|
| 797 | Collector that allow you to set sort, filter and view. Removed
|
---|
| 798 | filter button from bottom of screen (no longer needed). Revised
|
---|
| 799 | window layouts help to show modified layouts.
|
---|
| 800 | o More newuser-friendly junk (more bubble help, etc.).
|
---|
| 801 | o Added Find first/next to INI viewer. Listbox command will work in
|
---|
| 802 | is bordered in red.
|
---|
| 803 | o Just a BTW -- there's a new IMAGE.EXE (the FM/2 image viewer utility)
|
---|
| 804 | in FM2UTILS.ZIP, available free-of-charge at
|
---|
| 805 | http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/fm2
|
---|
| 806 | I put some stuff in it that I needed for making pictures for the help
|
---|
| 807 | files.
|
---|
[58] | 808 |
|
---|
[111] | 809 | 2.60:
|
---|
| 810 | o Fast internal viewer can start configured editor from menu (Ctrl + e
|
---|
| 811 | accelerator) per user request. Remember, to edit files in an
|
---|
| 812 | archive, you must still use Files->Refresh to cause selected files to
|
---|
| 813 | be refreshed in the archive.
|
---|
| 814 | o Added a bit more bubble help (remember, you can turn bubble help on
|
---|
| 815 | and off (somewhat selectively) in the internal Settings notebook).
|
---|
[58] | 816 |
|
---|
[111] | 817 | 2.59:
|
---|
| 818 | o Rename dialog will now specifically tell you if the source file is
|
---|
| 819 | newer, older or same date as target and smaller, larger or same size
|
---|
| 820 | if there's a conflict with an existing target file, per user request.
|
---|
[58] | 821 |
|
---|
[111] | 822 | 2.58:
|
---|
| 823 | o Added ability to create a new directory and switch to it in the
|
---|
| 824 | common directories user list (select <New directory>). Revised
|
---|
| 825 | help to reflect this.
|
---|
| 826 | o Holding down Shift while selecting a state name will prevent FM/2
|
---|
| 827 | from closing windows already open now (per user request). An
|
---|
| 828 | automatic retile of all windows is then performed.
|
---|
[58] | 829 |
|
---|
[111] | 830 | 2.57:
|
---|
| 831 | o Added ability to sort by subject per user request (wouldn't it be
|
---|
| 832 | nice if Netscape put where we got downloaded files from in an EA? Or
|
---|
| 833 | let you drag a file over it without locking up the system?).
|
---|
[58] | 834 |
|
---|
[111] | 835 | 2.56:
|
---|
| 836 | o Added ability to use exclusion masks in the Seek and Scan dialog
|
---|
| 837 | per Harry Travis' request. Also added Append checkbox.
|
---|
[58] | 838 |
|
---|
[111] | 839 | 2.55:
|
---|
| 840 | o Fixed bug reported by Ralph Alvy -- "Append" checkbox being ignored
|
---|
| 841 | in Save to listfile dialog, FM/2 always appended to listfile.

[58] | 842 |
|
---|
[111] | 843 | 2.54:
|
---|
| 844 | o Small tweaks.
|
---|
| 845 | o I don't do Compuserve anymore. Reach me via the net, or just go to
|
---|
| 846 | FM/2's web page at http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/fm2
|
---|
[58] | 847 |
|
---|
[111] | 848 | 2.53:
|
---|
| 849 | o Added Commands user dropdown list for picking commands to run on
|
---|
| 850 | selected files more quickly and easily.
|
---|
| 851 | o Removed "#" character from AV/2 temporary directory -- WebEx and
|
---|
| 852 | Netscape were choking on it (a).
|
---|
| 853 | o Allow disabling FM/2's custom file dialog so you can use MSE's
|
---|
| 854 | instead, if you like (the toggle's on the General page). (What's
|
---|
| 855 | MSE? Look at http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/mse) (a).
|
---|
| 856 | o Added support for PKZIP 2.50 (b).
|
---|
[58] | 857 |
|
---|
[111] | 858 | 2.52:
|
---|
| 859 | o When the FM/2 main window is resized and a Directory Container is
|
---|
| 860 | maximized within it, it will remain maximized.
|
---|
| 861 | o Modified AV/2 and ARCHIVER.BB2 so that RAR v2's woefully NIH
|
---|
| 862 | listings can be read. Would it just _kill_ you archiver authors to
|
---|
| 863 | get together and come up with some sort of easily parsed listing
|
---|
| 864 | standard, then stick to it? Please?
|
---|
| 865 | o FM/2 will now show the current decryption keyword for extra programs
|
---|
| 866 | like DBFVIEW and FMT from the About box.
|
---|
[58] | 867 |
|
---|
[111] | 868 | 2.51:
|
---|
| 869 | o Tweaked image viewer initial sizing algorithm to better handle very
|
---|
| 870 | small bitmaps at more nearly correct perspectives.
|
---|
| 871 | o Added "No folder menu" toggle to internal Settings notebook by
|
---|
| 872 | user request.
|
---|
| 873 | o Put floppy letters back into drives userlist dropdown due to
|
---|
| 874 | user request.
|
---|
| 875 | o Made image viewer a separate executable due to a memory leak in
|
---|
| 876 | OS/2's MMPM/2 (mmio) under Merlin beta and some Warp 3 fixpack
|
---|
| 877 | configurations -- closing the application frees the memory, but
|
---|
| 878 | nothing else will, so a small, fast, separate application "fixes" the
|
---|
| 879 | problem (or, if you prefer, "OS/2 bug"). Like FM2PLAY.EXE, this
|
---|
| 880 | IMAGE.EXE file will now be in the FM/2 Utilities package (FM2UTL.ZIP
|
---|
| 881 | on CI$ or FM2UTILS.ZIP on the internet). You'll probably want to
|
---|
| 882 | remove any old IMAGE.CMD file built by previous FM/2 installs.
|
---|
| 883 | o Added ability to view and manipulate files in archives containing
|
---|
| 884 | spaces in the filename for archivers that provide information in a
|
---|
| 885 | particular way (see ARCHIVER.BB2 -- ZIP and LZH archives are set up
|
---|
| 886 | this way). Other folks who use ARCHIVER.BB2 should take a look at
|
---|
| 887 | the updated documentation to see how to take advantage of this, but
|
---|
| 888 | it's backward-compatible, so old versions of those programs will
|
---|
| 889 | still work correctly with this change.
|
---|
| 890 | o Removed SEEHELP.EXE -- Warp has the ability to view help files using
|
---|
| 891 | VIEW.EXE which comes with the OS.
|
---|
| 892 | o Added "WPS Move" and "WPS Copy" commands.
|
---|
| 893 | o I no longer accept registrations via direct mail. Registrations are
|
---|
| 894 | available through BMT Micro or CIS' SWREG only (BMT recommended --
|
---|
| 895 | see REGISTER.TXT). I just got too much snail mail and couldn't keep
|
---|
| 896 | up with all of it.
|
---|
[58] | 897 |
|
---|
[111] | 898 | 2.50b:
|
---|
| 899 | o Added ability to convert an image file to another format from the
|
---|
| 900 | image viewer window.
|
---|
| 901 | o All supported multimedia types are now "played" automatically on
|
---|
| 902 | double-click unless you have an FM/2 Association set for them.
|
---|
[58] | 903 |
|
---|
[111] | 904 | 2.50a:
|
---|
| 905 | o Added "Run Viewer as child session" toggle -- if used, any open
|
---|
| 906 | viewers will close when FM/2 closes.
|
---|
| 907 | o Added "Env" button to Seek and scan dialog (for searching through
|
---|
| 908 | directories listed in environment variables).
|
---|
| 909 | o Added "No sort" option to Collector sorting.
|
---|
| 910 | o FM/2 will now offer to remove old registration when started after
|
---|
| 911 | registration has expired, making it easy to enter updated
|
---|
| 912 | registration information.
|
---|
| 913 | o Directory Containers can now be switched into Tree View. See also
|
---|
| 914 | new "Stay in Tree View" toggle.
|
---|
| 915 | o B2 on Directory Container Folder buttons pulls up an abbreviated
|
---|
| 916 | popup menu.
|
---|
| 917 | o Bugfix: The Autoview window wouldn't let you enter Comments on an
|
---|
| 918 | object that didn't already have them (duh).
|
---|
| 919 | o FM/2 now taps into MMPM/2 to display image files, instead of GBM. To
|
---|
| 920 | activate FM/2's "internal" image file viewing, be sure to remove any
|
---|
| 921 | Associations for MMPM/2-supported image file types (JPG, TIF, BMP,
|
---|
| 922 | PCX, GIF, etc.) using FM/2's Config->Edit Associations command.
|
---|
[58] | 923 |
|
---|
[111] | 924 | 2.50:
|
---|
| 925 | o Added a horizontal scrollbar to Global files viewer.
|
---|
| 926 | o Added line wrap (and thus horizontal scrollbar) to fast internal
|
---|
| 927 | viewer.
|
---|
| 928 | o Added WWW and FTP component launching to internal viewers per
|
---|
| 929 | user request. BTW, testpm.exe from the FM/2 Utilities is handy for
|
---|
[1420] | 930 | deciphering the arguments to FTPPM.EXE, which are a bit bizarre and
|
---|
[111] | 931 | undocumented. Just rename FTPPM.EXE to FTPPM.BAK, copy TESTPM.EXE
|
---|
| 932 | to FTPPM.EXE in the same directory, open the FTP object's Settings
|
---|
| 933 | notebook, then open the FTP object's program and compare the
|
---|
| 934 | results.
|
---|
| 935 | o Added optional blue/yellow LEDs which can be used in place of the
|
---|
| 936 | default red/green thread LED bitmaps.
|
---|
| 937 | o Added a toggle to make the databar boring for those who can't stand
|
---|
| 938 | too much excitement (I have users who are easily worn out :-). Also
|
---|
| 939 | added file system type to end of string on user request.
|
---|
| 940 | o Execute dialog will try to remind you why you called it up in case
|
---|
| 941 | you fall asleep after double-clicking the mouse and awake confused.
|
---|
| 942 | It could happen.
|
---|
| 943 | o Couple of more small workarounds for Merlin beta bugs.
|
---|
| 944 | o Changed the way the toolbar displays help to eliminate capturing
|
---|
| 945 | the mouse (kludge, OS/2 should have a WM_MOUSELEAVING message).
|
---|
| 946 | o Added mini-toolbar to fast internal viewer.
|
---|
| 947 | o Note new internet address.
|
---|
| 948 | o Price reduction for commercial registrations.
|
---|
| 949 | o SET environment variable DOS_SHELL in CONFIG.SYS if you want to use
|
---|
| 950 | an alternate command processor in DOS sessions (for example,
|
---|
| 951 | SET DOS_SHELL=C:\4DOS\4DOS.EXE).
|
---|
| 952 | o Remap command now uses NET USE, enhancements (like it works, for
|
---|
| 953 | one :-).
|
---|
| 954 | o Added Miscellaneous->Detach (Ctrl + H) command to Drive Tree drive
|
---|
| 955 | popup to detach local drives from remote resources.
|
---|
| 956 | o Updated FM2PLAY.EXE (in FM2UTL.ZIP on CIS, FM2UTILS.ZIP elsewhere),
|
---|
| 957 | including more controls and ability to load list of files from a
|
---|
| 958 | listfile. FM/2 will use this listfile method when playing more
|
---|
| 959 | multimedia files than will fit on a command line using the
|
---|
| 960 | View->Multimedia (Ctrl + l) command. OS/2 command lines are
|
---|
| 961 | limited to about 1000 characters, if you're interested.
|
---|
| 962 | o Lots of other little tweaks and improvements -- some you might
|
---|
| 963 | even notice.
|
---|
[58] | 964 |
|
---|
[111] | 965 | 2.49:
|
---|
| 966 | o More cosmetic tweaking -- for example, changing status line or bottom
|
---|
| 967 | button text font will now result in resizing of control to match new
|
---|
| 968 | font. BTW, if you set ugly fonts or colors and want the defaults
|
---|
| 969 | back, one way to do it completely is to delete the window position
|
---|
| 970 | entry in OS2.INI and start from scratch...
|
---|
| 971 | o Work around for nasty bug in Merlin beta Voice Manager.
|
---|
| 972 | o Remap drives command added -- untested at this time, as I have no
|
---|
| 973 | LAN. If you try it and it doesn't work, please report the error
|
---|
| 974 | code displayed. If it works, let me know that, too.
|
---|
| 975 | o Fixed bug in Merge code.
|
---|
| 976 | o Added mini-toolbars to Archive Containers and the Collector (visible
|
---|
| 977 | only if you have the toolbar in FM/2 turned on, of course).
|
---|
| 978 | o A couple of other little things folks asked for -- I forget.
|
---|
[58] | 979 |
|
---|
[111] | 980 | 2.48a:
|
---|
| 981 | o Lots of cosmetic stuff (for example, check out the Databar).
|
---|
| 982 | o Additional help, partitioned Context menu help into smaller "chunks."
|
---|
| 983 | o Added Find button to Archive dialog.
|
---|
| 984 | o More Merlin preparations.
|
---|
| 985 | o Added UserDirs dropdown to standard OS/2 file dialogs used by FM/2.
|
---|
| 986 | o Added Duplicates command to Global file viewer.
|
---|
| 987 | o More (subtle) tweaking of Seek and Scan dialog.
|
---|
| 988 | o Anybody else notice how the competition is trying (in vain) to
|
---|
| 989 | copy FM/2, but having a great deal of trouble keeping up with
|
---|
| 990 | the Joneses? :-)
|
---|
[58] | 991 |
|
---|
[111] | 992 | 2.48:
|
---|
| 993 | o Ideal size button logic adjusted so it will work as might be expected
|
---|
| 994 | with Merlin's new Warpcenter.
|
---|
| 995 | o Logic for sizing of titlebar buttons adjusted so they look better
|
---|
| 996 | under Merlin.
|
---|
| 997 | o Fixed bug in EA editor's MLE control -- an apparent change in the way
|
---|
| 998 | Warp handles the MLM_QUERYFORMATTEXTLENGTH with an overlong length
|
---|
| 999 | parameter has changed, resulting in the MLE not being cleared properly.
|
---|
| 1000 | o Autoviewing file comments (.COMMENTS EA) now displays the comments in
|
---|
| 1001 | an MLE rather than static text control, allowing editing. Moving the
|
---|
| 1002 | focus from the MLE after making a change saves the new EA. Note: if
|
---|
| 1003 | a .COMMENTS EA is damaged, FM/2 won't let you edit it in this window
|
---|
| 1004 | for safety (maybe some strange program wanted it that way). You can
|
---|
[1420] | 1005 | fix it in the EA viewer (Ctrl + Shift + E) if you know it's an anomaly.
|
---|
[111] | 1006 | Use the Ctrl + Tab accelerator key to switch focus to the Autoview
|
---|
| 1007 | MLE if you're keyboarding. FM/2 supports .COMMENTS EAs up to 32767
|
---|
| 1008 | characters in length. Each line of the MLE (newline, not wrap)
|
---|
| 1009 | creates a separate EAT_ASCII value, in case you care and know what
|
---|
| 1010 | the heck I'm talking about... BTW, GCP downloads automatically fill
|
---|
| 1011 | in the .COMMENTS and .SUBJECT EAs for you if so configured, though
|
---|
| 1012 | it seems to save the .COMMENTS EA in a weird (different from the
|
---|
| 1013 | WPS) format -- but it's readable.
|
---|
| 1014 | o You can use command line switch -<ininame> to start FM/2 with a
|
---|
| 1015 | different INI file (i.e. "FM3.EXE -C:\MYINI.INI"). This means
|
---|
| 1016 | that different users can set up FM/2 to taste and use separate
|
---|
| 1017 | FM/2 objects to start their "version" of the program on the same
|
---|
| 1018 | machine.
|
---|
| 1019 | o FM/2 will try to remind you why the Walk directories dialog was
|
---|
| 1020 | invoked, per forgetful, worn-out user request. :-)
|
---|
| 1021 | o Keys help added per user request.
|
---|
[58] | 1022 |
|
---|
[111] | 1023 | 2.47:
|
---|
| 1024 | o Added "View->As archive" context menu option per user request.
|
---|
| 1025 | o Added maximize/restore button to "FM/2 Lite" Directory Containers.
|
---|
| 1026 | o Added Autoview window to "FM/2 Lite."
|
---|
| 1027 | o Added "View archive" button to Archive List Error window.
|
---|
| 1028 | o Fixed bug -- Ctrl + F7 not bringing up context menu with Sort
|
---|
| 1029 | submenu selected.
|
---|
| 1030 | o Jazzed up direct renaming of files and directories.
|
---|
| 1031 | o Jazzed up Seek and Scan dialog per user request.
|
---|
| 1032 | o AV/2 will now accept wildcarded filenames and view the first matching
|
---|
| 1033 | file in whatever manner seems most appropriate.
|
---|
| 1034 | o Delete key deletes files, Ctrl + Delete is permanent delete, Shift +
|
---|
| 1035 | Delete is save to clipboard, Ctrl + Insert is make directory, Ctrl +
|
---|
| 1036 | Pageup is parent directory, Ctrl + Pagedown is previous directory,
|
---|
| 1037 | Ctrl + Home is root directory. Obviously, not all these keystrokes
|
---|
| 1038 | are meaningful in all windows (for instance, parent directory doesn't
|
---|
| 1039 | do anything in the Collector). These new shortcut keys are in
|
---|
| 1040 | addition to existing accelerators. Applicable windows (see previous
|
---|
| 1041 | caveat): Directory Containers, Drive Tree, Archive Containers,
|
---|
| 1042 | Collector, Global files windows. Per user request. These are not
|
---|
| 1043 | "real" accelerator keys as they tend to bleed through and mess with
|
---|
| 1044 | normal interactions (even these bleed through here and there, but
|
---|
| 1045 | it's benign), but hopefully you'll never notice the difference.
|
---|
| 1046 | o In "FM/2 Lite," you can direct-edit the title of a Directory
|
---|
| 1047 | Container to change directories.
|
---|
| 1048 | o Install now accepts /UNATTENDED argument to run without asking any
|
---|
| 1049 | questions.
|
---|
[58] | 1050 |
|
---|
[111] | 1051 | 2.46:
|
---|
| 1052 | o Fixed drive button bug.
|
---|
| 1053 | o Added "FM/2 Lite" (or whatever you want to call it), a new
|
---|
| 1054 | "personality" for FM/2 intended for those who can't deal with
|
---|
| 1055 | the real thing.
|
---|
[58] | 1056 |
|
---|
[111] | 1057 | 2.45:
|
---|
| 1058 | o When selecting or deselecting by mask, you can specify a text string
|
---|
| 1059 | to be used. First the file is tested against the mask(s), then
|
---|
| 1060 | tested to see if it contains the text (if any is specified).
|
---|
| 1061 | o Fixed bug -- context menus quit working after a Directory Container
|
---|
| 1062 | was closed.
|
---|
| 1063 | o Added Makearc module, mainly for access from NTree.
|
---|
| 1064 | o Fixed bug -- "case sensitive" flag was being reversed for Seek and
|
---|
| 1065 | Scan.
|
---|
[58] | 1066 |
|
---|
[111] | 1067 | 2.44:
|
---|
| 1068 | o "Thread busy" LED added per user request.
|
---|
| 1069 | o Toolbar buttons now allow you to use different bitmaps of your own
|
---|
| 1070 | design. Notes: using user-defined bitmaps in the toolbar can slow
|
---|
[1420] | 1071 | loading of FM/2 slightly, but probably not noticeably unless you
|
---|
[111] | 1072 | replace all of them. Request a context menu on a toolbar button and
|
---|
| 1073 | pick "Edit button" to get the dialog where you tell FM/2 to use a
|
---|
| 1074 | user-defined bitmap.
|
---|
| 1075 | o External Archive Containers, Collector, VTree and VDirs now have
|
---|
| 1076 | their own pulldown menu for Files and Views (the shadow menus) and
|
---|
| 1077 | Help for easy keyboard access and/or novice users.
|
---|
| 1078 | o Command lines executed through the command line dialog are remembered
|
---|
| 1079 | for possible later retrieval.
|
---|
| 1080 | o Directory sizes dialog reworked (prettier, sizeable). DIRSIZE.EXE
|
---|
| 1081 | program provided for accessing this function directly (object placed
|
---|
| 1082 | in FM/2 Tools subfolder by INSTALL.CMD).
|
---|
[58] | 1083 |
|
---|
[111] | 1084 | 2.43:
|
---|
| 1085 | o Added optional drivebar per user request.
|
---|
| 1086 | o Added Lock and Unlock commands for removable drives.
|
---|
| 1087 | o Added UUDecode command and Merge command (yep, got another internet
|
---|
| 1088 | connection, finally).
|
---|
| 1089 | o When presented with a list of objects in a dialog (as in the Edit EAs
|
---|
| 1090 | or Attributes dialogs), double-clicking a file object will bring up
|
---|
| 1091 | the configured viewer with the file loaded. This is just a quick
|
---|
| 1092 | view purely for convenience; no attempt is made to view the file as
|
---|
| 1093 | an archive or check Associations. You can double-click it in the
|
---|
| 1094 | Directory Container if you need to go that far.
|
---|
| 1095 | o Added "Thread notes" window -- if you don't like it, minimize it and
|
---|
| 1096 | it should stay that way. When a thread does something that takes
|
---|
| 1097 | awhile, like copying a file, it tells you when it starts and when
|
---|
| 1098 | it finishes.
|
---|
| 1099 | o Under Warp, FM/2 will now query the active desktop in a documented
|
---|
| 1100 | manner when asked to create objects. There is no reliable method
|
---|
| 1101 | under older OS/2 versions.
|
---|
| 1102 | o Improved FM/2's built-in printing somewhat. Still not as good as
|
---|
| 1103 | printing from the appropriate application, of course.
|
---|
| 1104 | o Confirmation lists will now display a bitmap representing the command
|
---|
| 1105 | to be executed on the dialog, where applicable, as a quick visual
|
---|
| 1106 | reminder.
|
---|
| 1107 | o When switching a Directory Container to the parent, FM/2 will
|
---|
| 1108 | make the vacated directory's object the current object.
|
---|
[58] | 1109 |
|
---|
[111] | 1110 | 2.42:
|
---|
| 1111 | o More threading in strategic spots to make response when moving around
|
---|
| 1112 | really slow drives (like ZIP and EZ drives) snappier. The drivers
|
---|
| 1113 | for these drives need a bit more work, developers -- think "cache,"
|
---|
| 1114 | especially for things like providing the label and usage info. When
|
---|
| 1115 | it's slower than the floppy drives, some work needs to be done, eh?
|
---|
| 1116 | o Edit->Drive flags dialog now available from a drive (root dir) object
|
---|
| 1117 | in the Drive Tree -- lets you set flags you used to _have_ to set
|
---|
| 1118 | from the command line (and a couple of new ones). You can still set
|
---|
| 1119 | flags from the command line as an override.
|
---|
| 1120 | o Files can be included in the Drive Tree display on a per-drive basis
|
---|
| 1121 | if you can actually think of a reason to do it (I can't, but someone
|
---|
| 1122 | asked). If you do find a use for it, tell me what the heck it is.
|
---|
| 1123 | o See all files can be invoked on directory (folder) objects
|
---|
| 1124 | (Miscellaneous->Show all files) or the directory into which a
|
---|
| 1125 | Directory Container looks.
|
---|
| 1126 | o See all files window and Collector now have new "Move and preserve"
|
---|
| 1127 | and "Copy and preserve" commands to move or copy objects while
|
---|
| 1128 | preserving their directory relationship (see online help for
|
---|
| 1129 | examples).
|
---|
| 1130 | o Double-clicking on an empty part of the Drive Tree now invokes the
|
---|
| 1131 | Make Directory command. Double-clicking on an empty part of a
|
---|
| 1132 | Directory Container opens its WPS folder.
|
---|
| 1133 | o Target of a drag and drop operation can be changed from the FM/2
|
---|
| 1134 | drag and drop dialog (if you're using the dialog, of course).
|
---|
| 1135 | o Improved directory comparison dialog (no, it's still no PMDirMatch
|
---|
| 1136 | and never will be, and yes, you can still tell FM/2 to use PMDirMatch
|
---|
| 1137 | instead of the internal).
|
---|
| 1138 | o Added Utilities->Compare directories command.
|
---|
| 1139 | o Sorting an Archive Container by date is now possible, at least for
|
---|
| 1140 | some archive types. See ARCHIVER.BB2 for details. You can also
|
---|
| 1141 | Alt-B1 click the titles of sortable fields in Archive Containers now
|
---|
| 1142 | to change the sort type (just like you can in a Directory Container).
|
---|
[58] | 1143 |
|
---|
| 1144 | 2.41:
|
---|
| 1145 | o VTree now runs Directory Containers (VDirs) as part of its process,
|
---|
| 1146 | which should save on a little memory for those of you using FM/2 as
|
---|
| 1147 | as "super drives objects." To take full advantage of this, the
|
---|
| 1148 | "Separate parameters" toggle should be checked.
|
---|
| 1149 | o External FM/2 windows can be closed from the PM Window List without
|
---|
| 1150 | closing the entire program (excepting the main window, of course).
|
---|
| 1151 | o Fixed bug: last line of a hex view wasn't formatted very
|
---|
| 1152 | attractively.
|
---|
| 1153 | o Fixed bug: quick config page didn't work right anymore.
|
---|
| 1154 | o Fixed bug: VDir and AV/2 windows would show external FM/2 windows
|
---|
| 1155 | but not switch to them.
|
---|
| 1156 | o Window dialog now shows and acts on external FM/2 windows.
|
---|
| 1157 | o Checking "Separate parameters" toggle now saves all parameters
|
---|
| 1158 | under the new appname immediately when the Settings notebook
|
---|
| 1159 | is closed. You'll want to be careful here -- think before choosing.
|
---|
| 1160 | BTW, a backup of your FM3.INI file, once you get it set up to your
|
---|
| 1161 | liking, is always a good idea. Don't use FM3INI.BAK as the filename,
|
---|
| 1162 | since FM/2 automatically does a one-generation backup to that name.
|
---|
| 1163 | o Warp no longer allows a container item to be hidden by a thread other
|
---|
| 1164 | than the thread that controls the container if the item is selected
|
---|
| 1165 | (Why? Who knows? Why don't DrgQueryDraginfoPtrFromDragitem() and
|
---|
| 1166 | CN_DROPHELP work?). Since this forces single threaded hiding of
|
---|
| 1167 | objects, I must conclude this is a bug in OS/2. However, since it's
|
---|
| 1168 | in "GA" OS/2 code, I reluctantly worked around it by making Hide
|
---|
| 1169 | objects single-threaded -- you'll have to wait for it to get done.
|
---|
| 1170 | Shouldn't be a major problem.
|
---|
| 1171 | o Added codepage 1004 to codepage dialog. Someone asked, I didn't even
|
---|
| 1172 | know the blamed thing was there.
|
---|
| 1173 | o Added Ctrl + F10 and Ctrl + F11 accelerators to start/end a direct
|
---|
| 1174 | edit of a filename for the rodently challenged.
|
---|
| 1175 | o Added Next/Prev blank line menu items and buttons to new internal
|
---|
| 1176 | viewer (accelerators were there before). In text where paragraphs
|
---|
| 1177 | are separated by blank lines, these go down or up to the next
|
---|
| 1178 | paragraph. Something I use.
|
---|
| 1179 | o Added Recent Directories dropdown list to Walk Directories dialog,
|
---|
| 1180 | which separates the recently used directories from the user-defined
|
---|
| 1181 | directories in that dialog. Just wanted to.
|
---|
| 1182 | o Added "DOS-think" and "Windoze-think" quick-config options to
|
---|
| 1183 | internal Settings notebook. If you use 'em they'll stunt your growth.
|
---|
| 1184 | o Fixed an obscure tile bug no one else seems to have noticed.
|
---|
| 1185 | o Changed Shift + F? accelerators to Ctrl + F? to avoid conflicting
|
---|
| 1186 | with a couple of OS/2-used keys.
|
---|
| 1187 | o Further tightened integration between VTree and its Directory
|
---|
| 1188 | Containers.
|
---|
| 1189 | o Made Tree (optionally) smart.
|
---|
| 1190 | o Reorganized internal Settings notebook for more "logical" grouping
|
---|
| 1191 | (some things grow with a life of their own).
|
---|
| 1192 | o Changed Install so that it puts many objects in a separate Toolbox
|
---|
| 1193 | folder (someone who's not even registered suggested it, and I decided
|
---|
| 1194 | to give it a try -- tell me what you think. If upgrading, delete the
|
---|
| 1195 | old FM/2 folder before running Install again.).
|
---|
| 1196 |
|
---|
[111] | 1197 | 2.40:
|
---|
| 1198 | o Added "All" button to Filter dialog.
|
---|
| 1199 | o Added more optional buttons to main window.
|
---|
| 1200 | o Added %u/%U metastrings.
|
---|
| 1201 | o Added hex/ASCII + drag-me window to bottom of new internal text
|
---|
| 1202 | viewer.
|
---|
| 1203 | o Added %! metastring.
|
---|
| 1204 | o Added default archiver setting.
|
---|
| 1205 | o PM uses several ALT + F? accelerators to control frame windows.
|
---|
| 1206 | However, this applies to the current frame window, which can be
|
---|
| 1207 | within the main FM/2 window when run monolithically. Add Ctrl to
|
---|
| 1208 | these accelerators to affect the main window in that case. I don't
|
---|
| 1209 | change the system menu text to reflect this as it may be in a foreign
|
---|
| 1210 | language, and I'm an ignorant, ugly one-language American.
|
---|
| 1211 | o Added "Separate parameters" toggle.
|
---|
| 1212 | o Added "Treetop on expand" toggle.
|
---|
| 1213 | o Windows pulldown now lists external FM/2 windows, as does a submenu
|
---|
| 1214 | on the container popup in VTree, VDir and AV/2 windows.
|
---|
| 1215 | o Fixed some minor bugs in Commands menu generation.
|
---|
| 1216 | o Fixed bug in Collector -- unshifted double-click didn't work on
|
---|
| 1217 | directories.
|
---|
| 1218 | o VDirs, external Archive Containers and Viewers now retain their last
|
---|
| 1219 | set window size -- position is still determined by the Shell (PM).
|
---|
| 1220 | o Lots of little tweaks no one but me will ever notice.
|
---|
[58] | 1221 |
|
---|
[111] | 1222 | 2.39:
|
---|
| 1223 | o Fixed weird bug -- apparently IBM changed the behavior of
|
---|
| 1224 | MLM_QUERYFORMATTEXTLENGTH in Warp. This change may only take effect
|
---|
| 1225 | at FP10+ levels.
|
---|
| 1226 | o Added Open Directory Container button to Drive Tree titlebar -- only
|
---|
| 1227 | shows up when FM/2 is run as a monolithic app.
|
---|
| 1228 | o Added "Directory" attributes to Filter dialog per user request --
|
---|
| 1229 | lets you exclude directories from Directory Containers, or show only
|
---|
| 1230 | directories. NOTE: if you are upgrading, you may need to go into
|
---|
| 1231 | the Filter and turn on the Directory attribute -- it's on by default
|
---|
| 1232 | for new installations. Use the internal Settings notebook to
|
---|
| 1233 | activate the Filter dialog (DirView and ColView pages) by setting the
|
---|
| 1234 | focus to the Filter: entryfield, so that the "general" filter is
|
---|
| 1235 | changed.
|
---|
[1420] | 1236 | o Help file improvements (a never ending saga).
|
---|
[58] | 1237 |
|
---|
[111] | 1238 | 2.38:
|
---|
[1420] | 1239 | o Walk Directories dialog will now display non-writable drives unless
|
---|
[111] | 1240 | the directory selection is for an action that requires writing to the
|
---|
| 1241 | selected directory (for example, copy or move, set extract directory,
|
---|
| 1242 | etc.).
|
---|
| 1243 | o Filtering in Drive Tree now available, per user request. NOTE:
|
---|
| 1244 | filtering is performed _after_ expansion; therefore, it is possible
|
---|
| 1245 | for the Tree to "lie" to you until you expand a branch (i.e. indicate
|
---|
| 1246 | that other directories are available, but remove the "+/-" when you
|
---|
| 1247 | attempt to expand the branch. If it's important for you to know what
|
---|
| 1248 | the entire tree of a drive looks like with filtering applied, use the
|
---|
| 1249 | Expand/Collapse->Expand command from the Files menu or a popup. You
|
---|
| 1250 | can thereafter collapse and expand the tree as desired. Tricks can
|
---|
| 1251 | be played with the filter mask; for instance, "/C:\OS2*;/C:\MMOS2*;
|
---|
| 1252 | /C:\TCPIP*;*" will exclude some system directories on drive C: and
|
---|
| 1253 | show everything else.
|
---|
| 1254 | o Got rid of the annoying (to me, anyway) extra refresh when the
|
---|
| 1255 | "Immediate Updates" toggle is not used (more cheating).
|
---|
| 1256 | o Windows will now be created with the WS_ANIMATE style if "Animate"
|
---|
| 1257 | toggle on internal Settings notebook's Windows page is checked. Of
|
---|
| 1258 | course, system animation must still be turned on to see any effect.
|
---|
| 1259 | o Keyboard input of "standard" characters now performs a text search
|
---|
| 1260 | to find the closest matching file system object in the container.
|
---|
| 1261 | You can get the old (OS/2 default) behavior (move to nearest object
|
---|
| 1262 | starting with the pressed letter) by holding down the shift key.
|
---|
| 1263 | o When a background task that FM/2 is waiting on takes more than about
|
---|
| 1264 | two seconds to complete its job, FM/2 will switch it to the
|
---|
| 1265 | foreground. This means that if an archive is encrypted (passworded),
|
---|
[1420] | 1266 | you'll get the opportunity to enter a password without having to
|
---|
[111] | 1267 | resort to the Window List to manually bring the window to the
|
---|
| 1268 | foreground.
|
---|
[58] | 1269 |
|
---|
[111] | 1270 | 2.37:
|
---|
| 1271 | o Added "Autoview comments" notebook toggle (page 2) and Config menu
|
---|
| 1272 | items for same. You can have FM/2 autoview file contents _or_
|
---|
| 1273 | .COMMENTS EAs -- handy for looking at files that were downloaded by
|
---|
| 1274 | a package that puts the file description in that EA. You can also
|
---|
| 1275 | get to that EA on the third page of a WPS object's File page or via
|
---|
| 1276 | FM/2's Edit EAs dialog, BTW.
|
---|
| 1277 | o CTRL + Shift + B1 doubleclick opens an object's WPS Settings notebook.
|
---|
| 1278 | o You can now link-drag a root directory (drive) from the Drive Tree.
|
---|
| 1279 | For cryin' out loud, BE CAREFUL!
|
---|
| 1280 | o Credit card registrations via BMT Micro are now available.
|
---|
| 1281 | o Directory Containers can now have independent sorts if you DON'T use
|
---|
| 1282 | the "Immediate Updates" toggle. When you set a sort (or filter) in
|
---|
| 1283 | the internal Settings notebook, you're setting a default for
|
---|
| 1284 | subsequently created Directory Containers. When you set a sort (or
|
---|
| 1285 | filter) using the popup menu of a Directory Container, you're
|
---|
| 1286 | changing only that container. States will now also save the type of
|
---|
| 1287 | view (Icon, Details, etc.), sort and filter settings for each open
|
---|
| 1288 | Directory Container.
|
---|
[58] | 1289 |
|
---|
[111] | 1290 | 2.36:
|
---|
| 1291 | o Added "Rename existing" button to Rename dialog -- allows you to
|
---|
| 1292 | rename (move) an existing target file system object out of the way
|
---|
| 1293 | before moving or copying another file system object to that name.
|
---|
| 1294 | o Fixed "obscure" bug (reporting user's words :-) causing FM/2 to
|
---|
| 1295 | enter a loop when "Views" cascade was selected from the action
|
---|
| 1296 | bar menu when an internal Archive Container was the current window.
|
---|
| 1297 | o Tutorial section added to online help.
|
---|
| 1298 | o When a bitmapped graphic file is viewed, the window is sized to fit
|
---|
| 1299 | on the screen even when the image is larger than the screen.
|
---|
| 1300 | Proportion is maintained for the initial window positioning. You can
|
---|
| 1301 | stretch the size of the window. The bitmap is scaled to fit. GBM is,
|
---|
| 1302 | of course, still required to directly view images in FM/2.
|
---|
| 1303 | o Changed toolbar button help to "bubble" style, added toggle to disable.
|
---|
| 1304 | o Added Directory Compare (DirCmp:) field to Files/Dirs page of internal
|
---|
| 1305 | Settings notebook.
|
---|
| 1306 | o Added %d and %D metastrings for Commands.
|
---|
| 1307 | o Percentages in Directory Sizes dialog more accurate (to nearest
|
---|
| 1308 | thousandth).
|
---|
| 1309 | o "Include subdirectories" toggle in Directory Compare dialog.
|
---|
| 1310 | o Fixed bug in 2.35a's INSTALL.CMD. Can you say "duh?" Apparently I can.
|
---|
| 1311 | o As usual, many little things no one will notice.
|
---|
[58] | 1312 |
|
---|
[111] | 1313 | 2.35:
|
---|
| 1314 | o Performance tuning.
|
---|
| 1315 | o Implemented "minor" user suggestions.
|
---|
| 1316 | o Added "Recent Dirs" toggle -- automatically adds temporary
|
---|
| 1317 | directories to UserList as you change directories. You can make them
|
---|
| 1318 | permanent by Adding them as usual.
|
---|
| 1319 | o FM/2 may handle DOS archivers now (actually, it does -- I tested with
|
---|
| 1320 | ARJ); however, you'll have to set them up for yourself and I won't
|
---|
| 1321 | support them. Don't forget that DOS archivers don't support EAs.
|
---|
| 1322 | AVOID WHENEVER POSSIBLE OR YOU'LL GET BURNED.
|
---|
| 1323 | o If you have GBM.DLL on your LIBPATH or in the FM/2 directory, FM/2
|
---|
| 1324 | will use it to display GBM-supported raster file types when they're
|
---|
| 1325 | double-clicked. GBM currently supports most OS/2 and Windows
|
---|
| 1326 | bitmaps, .GIF, .PCX, .TIF, .TGA, .IFF, .VID, .PGM, .KPS, .IAX, .XBM,
|
---|
| 1327 | .SPR, and .PSE files. And it's free.
|
---|
| 1328 | o Changed some icons around for a fresher look, added some for display
|
---|
| 1329 | when you aren't loading icons from disk (for scanning speed).
|
---|
| 1330 | o Added "Settings" button to Info dialog.
|
---|
[58] | 1331 |
|
---|
[111] | 1332 | 2.34:
|
---|
| 1333 | o Added "Tile backwards" toggle, but don't use it (it's a DOS-think
|
---|
| 1334 | knee-jerk thing to do).
|
---|
| 1335 | o Viewer won't "restore" the container that called it when it closes if
|
---|
| 1336 | the container is maximized.
|
---|
| 1337 | o Filtering speeded up when Autoview window is open.
|
---|
| 1338 | o Show a little patch of color beside color names in Colors dialogs.
|
---|
| 1339 | o Added "Folder after extract" toggle.
|
---|
| 1340 | o Added ^F3 close monolithic app toggle (command id 1111 if anyone's
|
---|
| 1341 | interested).
|
---|
| 1342 | o More commands in INI viewer (rename, copy appname/keyname) and
|
---|
| 1343 | enhanced existing Add/Edit INI record commands.
|
---|
| 1344 | o Changed method of storing a few things so that they're both easily
|
---|
| 1345 | human editable (for power users) and so they allow me to
|
---|
| 1346 | "preconfigure" some things (for new users). If you're upgrading from
|
---|
| 1347 | previous versions, there's a CONVERT.EXE that'll copy your old
|
---|
| 1348 | settings to the appropriate format and get rid of old baggage.
|
---|
| 1349 | o Added "Userlist switches" toggle to internal Settings notebook.
|
---|
| 1350 | o Added "%r/%R" to metastrings.
|
---|
| 1351 | o Added "Extract" to drag and drop dialog.
|
---|
| 1352 | o Height of autoview window can be changed.
|
---|
| 1353 | o More info displayed in drive info dialog.
|
---|
| 1354 | o INSTALL is a bit smarter.
|
---|
| 1355 | o Added two new buttons on status line -- different behaviors depending on
|
---|
| 1356 | whether you click with B1 or B2 and the shift state.
|
---|
[58] | 1357 |
|
---|
[111] | 1358 | 2.33:
|
---|
| 1359 | o Added new internal viewer -- loads files at least five times faster
|
---|
| 1360 | than the old viewer (which is still available via a toggle in the
|
---|
| 1361 | internal Settings notebook).
|
---|
| 1362 | o See all files window retains settings, is a bit slicker.
|
---|
| 1363 | o Fixed bug -- rename box came up for each file moved/copied.
|
---|
| 1364 | o Fixed bug -- FM/2 didn't start right with toolbar turned off. Weird.
|
---|
| 1365 | o Worked around Warp bug -- PM locks up if you select a codepage that
|
---|
| 1366 | hasn't been prepared. This should be ignored as in previous versions
|
---|
| 1367 | of OS/2, but crashes the system instead (sheesh).
|
---|
| 1368 | o Warp apparently still has a 64k limit to what the clipboard can hold.
|
---|
| 1369 | While I could limit what you send to the clipboard, this is (hopefully)
|
---|
| 1370 | one of those limits which will vanish with further updates to OS/2
|
---|
| 1371 | itself, so I'll just caution you about it.
|
---|
| 1372 | o Colors are adjustable in See all files windows.
|
---|
| 1373 | o Several fonts are available in See all files windows (all fixed width).
|
---|
| 1374 | o See all files window allows entering multiple keys to find a file if
|
---|
| 1375 | the keys are entered within one second of each other.
|
---|
| 1376 | o System info command made somewhat more human-readable.
|
---|
[58] | 1377 |
|
---|
[111] | 1378 | 2.32:
|
---|
| 1379 | o See all files window fleshed out.
|
---|
| 1380 | o Added "Viewer outside," "Arcboxes outside," "INI viewer outside" and
|
---|
| 1381 | "Collector outside" toggles to Toggles2 page of internal Settings
|
---|
| 1382 | notebook.
|
---|
| 1383 | o Added "Save" button to Directory Sizes dialog
|
---|
| 1384 | o Sort type can now be changed in Details view by holding ALT and
|
---|
| 1385 | clicking the title of the field to sort on (assuming titles are
|
---|
| 1386 | turned on and the field is one for which sorting is available,
|
---|
| 1387 | of course).
|
---|
| 1388 | o Added toggle to allow user to select default delete type.
|
---|
| 1389 | o Added "toolbox" dropdown to user lists.
|
---|
| 1390 | o Added sample toolboxes to archive.
|
---|
| 1391 | o Info and EA dialogs now include listbox, lets you scroll through all
|
---|
| 1392 | objects instead of popping up for each selected object. EAS.EXE
|
---|
| 1393 | mini-app inherits this; now accepts multiple filenames.
|
---|
| 1394 | o Check list dialogs now allow calling up the Info dialog for files in
|
---|
| 1395 | the list.
|
---|
[58] | 1396 |
|
---|
[111] | 1397 | 2.31:
|
---|
| 1398 | o Added "Minimize to databar" toggle, also accessible as a standalone
|
---|
| 1399 | miniapp.
|
---|
| 1400 | o Tree remembers directories, once expanded.
|
---|
| 1401 | o An individual drive may now be rescanned in the Drive Tree (related
|
---|
| 1402 | to the above).
|
---|
| 1403 | o More keyboard shortcuts for the rodently challenged.
|
---|
| 1404 | o Drag from recessed text fields in Directory and Archive Containers
|
---|
| 1405 | now possible (drags the directory or archive, respectively).
|
---|
| 1406 | o Default Commands command (Do it yourself) added.
|
---|
| 1407 | o Extract path can now be assigned "*" meaning "use directory in which
|
---|
| 1408 | the archive resides."
|
---|
| 1409 | o More menu compaction (well, you think of a term for it).
|
---|
| 1410 | o New "See all files" window (still under construction, but already
|
---|
| 1411 | much faster and very functional, without the standard listbox
|
---|
| 1412 | limitation of 32767 maximum items). Loads, sorts and displays
|
---|
| 1413 | 15,792 files from two local fixed drives in 18 seconds on my
|
---|
| 1414 | 486/66DX2 with normal (for me, of course) background load.
|
---|
| 1415 | o Fixed buglet in Archive Container status display.
|
---|
| 1416 | o More user suggestions implemented.
|
---|
[58] | 1417 |
|
---|
[111] | 1418 | 2.30:
|
---|
| 1419 | o I forget.
|
---|
[58] | 1420 |
|
---|
[111] | 1421 | 2.29:
|
---|
| 1422 | o Added "Topic" entry field in Bookshelf Viewer dialog.
|
---|
| 1423 | o Added "Quick arc find" toggle in Settings notebook; can speed up
|
---|
| 1424 | drag and drop operations on floppy/network drives.
|
---|
| 1425 | o Worked around PM bug in custom frame controls.
|
---|
| 1426 | o Added "Directory Container state" saving and restoring in a dropdown
|
---|
| 1427 | list (turned on with "Toggle quicklists" under Config menu).
|
---|
| 1428 | o Fixed drag and drop bug (couldn't move, duh). Smartened up drag and
|
---|
| 1429 | drop while I was at it; no sense offering options not really
|
---|
| 1430 | available due to media type (i.e. can't copy to a CD-ROM).
|
---|
| 1431 | o Added "Launch" button to drag and drop dialog.
|
---|
| 1432 | o Added quick-help for dropdown lists (in status box 2).
|
---|
| 1433 | o Added ability to drop onto userlist dropdown to add a directory.
|
---|
| 1434 | Also added popup maintenance menu (add and delete directories to/from
|
---|
| 1435 | list).
|
---|
[58] | 1436 |
|
---|
[111] | 1437 | 2.28:
|
---|
| 1438 | o Added optional user directory list dropdown box on main window
|
---|
| 1439 | (maintenance of the list is still performed in the Walk Directories
|
---|
| 1440 | dialog).
|
---|
| 1441 | o Added Drives submenu on Drive Tree's views context menu -- select a
|
---|
| 1442 | drive from it and the tree scrolls to show it and makes it the
|
---|
| 1443 | current object.
|
---|
| 1444 | o Restricted filename quoting in command lines to absolute essentials
|
---|
| 1445 | -- some programs are broken and choke on quoted filenames. We
|
---|
| 1446 | absolutely cannot have LIST choking if it can be avoided.
|
---|
| 1447 | o Double-clicking a directory in the Drive Tree container will cause an
|
---|
| 1448 | existing Directory Container looking into that directory, if one
|
---|
| 1449 | exists, to come to the foreground rather than opening a new one; if
|
---|
| 1450 | the existing window is minimized, it'll be restored. Ditto for new
|
---|
| 1451 | userlist dropdown.
|
---|
| 1452 | o FM/2 can now launch Windows apps seamless -- maybe. Sheesh, I'd
|
---|
| 1453 | use a DOS app first...
|
---|
[58] | 1454 |
|
---|
[111] | 1455 | 2.27:
|
---|
| 1456 | o Added "Move & rename" and "Copy & rename" commands per user request.
|
---|
| 1457 | This extends into the drag and drop dialog (said dialog is now on by
|
---|
| 1458 | default, BTW).
|
---|
| 1459 | o Many tiny tweaks that no one will ever notice (for instance,
|
---|
| 1460 | filenames containing "&" are now quoted on command lines where they
|
---|
| 1461 | weren't before).
|
---|
| 1462 | o Added EXAMPLE.CMD to archive as an example of how REXX scripts can
|
---|
| 1463 | manipulate files listed in listfiles created by FM/2. This allows
|
---|
| 1464 | Commands to circumvent the apx. 1000 character limit of OS/2 command
|
---|
| 1465 | lines.
|
---|
| 1466 | o Made notification window look more homogenous.
|
---|
[58] | 1467 |
|
---|
[111] | 1468 | 2.26:
|
---|
| 1469 | o Fixed stupid new bug in moving files from HPFS->FAT with long
|
---|
| 1470 | filenames.
|
---|
| 1471 | o Fixed bug in RemoteBug fix that conflicted with another fix for
|
---|
| 1472 | remote FSD bugs. I'm getting sick of working around remote FSD
|
---|
| 1473 | bugs -- think I'll just let the LAN folks fix _their_ stuff from
|
---|
| 1474 | now on...
|
---|
| 1475 | o Made titlebar of Drive Tree containers respond to request for context
|
---|
| 1476 | menu as if it were container whitespace per user request.
|
---|
| 1477 | o Added "Min on dir open" toggle -- a more elegant solution to a taste
|
---|
| 1478 | thing (IMHO) than a user requested feature.
|
---|
| 1479 | o Chord on status windows brings up window dialog like it does on
|
---|
| 1480 | client window whitespace.
|
---|
| 1481 | o Added "Append to clipboard" command to internal viewer/editor's
|
---|
| 1482 | Edit menu.
|
---|
| 1483 | o Moved "Write block" command out of Edit->Blocks submenu of internal
|
---|
| 1484 | viewer/editor to the main Edit submenu as "Copy to file" so it's
|
---|
| 1485 | accessible in readonly (viewing) mode while I was at it.
|
---|
| 1486 | o Added informational tweaking to viewer/editor's Edit->Undo menu
|
---|
| 1487 | command.
|
---|
| 1488 | o Added "Walk" button to Seek and scan dialog.
|
---|
| 1489 | o Added special FM/2 Association command line "<>" to indicate that the
|
---|
| 1490 | default WPS view should be opened for matching files.
|
---|
[58] | 1491 |
|
---|
[111] | 1492 | 2.25:
|
---|
| 1493 | o Added "Edit" and "Refresh" to Archive Containers per user request.
|
---|
| 1494 | o Added Drag and drop dialog and corresponding toggle per user request.
|
---|
[58] | 1495 |
|
---|
[111] | 1496 | 2.24:
|
---|
| 1497 | o Added "Remote bug" toggle since network FSD developers can't seem to
|
---|
| 1498 | consistently produce working DosFindFirst/Next code to save their
|
---|
| 1499 | lives.
|
---|
| 1500 | o Undelete enhancements.
|
---|
[58] | 1501 |
|
---|
[111] | 1502 | 2.23:
|
---|
| 1503 | o Enhancements to potential dupe finder per user requests and other
|
---|
| 1504 | stuff I thunk up all by my lonesome.
|
---|
| 1505 | o Placed "Seek and scan" on the Utility pulldown. All it does is
|
---|
| 1506 | start the Collector and post it a WM_COMMAND message as though you'd
|
---|
| 1507 | clicked Seek and scan on its context menu. Maybe even folks who
|
---|
| 1508 | don't read the help can find it now (who knows?).
|
---|
[58] | 1509 |
|
---|
[111] | 1510 | 2.22:
|
---|
| 1511 | o Additional detail and options are presented when FM/2 can't figure
|
---|
| 1512 | out how to list the contents of an archive (ARCHIVER.BB2
|
---|
| 1513 | misconfigured or archive bad) via new dialog. This should make
|
---|
| 1514 | determining what the archive problem is much easier when the
|
---|
| 1515 | inevitable problem arises.
|
---|
| 1516 | o Added duplicate file finder to Seek-and-Scan dialog. Finds files
|
---|
| 1517 | with same name and/or size and filedate.
|
---|
[58] | 1518 |
|
---|
[111] | 1519 | 2.21:
|
---|
| 1520 | o Shift and CTRL modifiers for double-clicking objects in Drive Tree,
|
---|
| 1521 | Directory Containers and Collector implemented. Shift causes new
|
---|
| 1522 | FM/2 window to open (directories; direct to View for files), CTRL
|
---|
| 1523 | causes default WPS open.
|
---|
| 1524 | o More stuff in the help file (sheesh -- this has gotta stop). The
|
---|
| 1525 | online help should now make a rather complete manual when printed
|
---|
| 1526 | together with the READ.ME file (see READ.ME for suggestions).
|
---|
| 1527 | o INSTALL now makes an object for the online help so that it can be
|
---|
| 1528 | viewed without starting FM/2 (using SEEHELP.EXE, included).
|
---|
| 1529 | o Added Filter "Always show directories" toggle.
|
---|
| 1530 | o Ideal size button supports a psuedo-restore operation, allowing
|
---|
| 1531 | toggling between two sizes (mine and yours).
|
---|
| 1532 | o Other stuff I forget.
|
---|
[58] | 1533 |
|
---|
[111] | 1534 | 2.20:
|
---|
| 1535 | o Fixed stupid bug that made FM/2 freak out on restart if you turned the
|
---|
| 1536 | toolbar off and left it off (duh).
|
---|
| 1537 | o Move-drag onto archives allowed now (if you have the archiver for that
|
---|
| 1538 | archive type configured to allow moving files, of course).
|
---|
| 1539 | o Fixed bug in longname<->shortname conversion (FAT<->HPFS).
|
---|
| 1540 | o Found a nasty way to get Warp's printer objects to recognize FM/2's
|
---|
| 1541 | D&D.
|
---|
| 1542 | o Extract dialog can be told to remember its settings (extract directory,
|
---|
| 1543 | masks, "with directories") distinctly from those set in Archive
|
---|
| 1544 | Containers.
|
---|
| 1545 | o Added a few pictures to the online help for extreme novices.
|
---|
| 1546 | o Added new "Compare Select" submenu with commands that can make
|
---|
| 1547 | selections based on comparing unfiltered files in all open Directory
|
---|
| 1548 | Containers. Powerful stuff.
|
---|
| 1549 | o Added "Hide objects" command (selective individual object filtering).
|
---|
| 1550 | o Fixed bug -- drag to toolbar quit working when toolbar code rewritten.
|
---|
| 1551 | o Slight modification to ARCHIVER.BB2 -- -1 for filename position means
|
---|
| 1552 | to use the last "field" of an archive listing for the filename.
|
---|
| 1553 | o FM/2 is compiled with optimization turned off now -- caught it
|
---|
| 1554 | generating bad code in the new Compare Select module and don't trust
|
---|
| 1555 | it (again).
|
---|
[58] | 1556 |
|
---|
[111] | 1557 | 2.19:
|
---|
| 1558 | o Added "Ideal size" System Menu command and titlebar button -- an
|
---|
| 1559 | alternative to maximizing.
|
---|
| 1560 | o More work on help file hypertext links using suggestions from a
|
---|
[1420] | 1561 | registered user. Added a labeled bitmap showing the layout of FM/2
|
---|
[111] | 1562 | windows.
|
---|
| 1563 | o Worked around weird bugs in Sizes and deleting toolbar buttons that
|
---|
| 1564 | shouldn't be bugs but nonetheless cause problems on some machines.
|
---|
| 1565 | o Added some one-line help fields to some dialogs to guide the user
|
---|
| 1566 | along.
|
---|
| 1567 | o Added the "Close" checkbox to the Edit Associations dialog, to allow
|
---|
| 1568 | executing an association to shut down FM/2 (or a VDir window, mainly
|
---|
| 1569 | for use by folks using FM/2 to replace the Drives objects).
|
---|
| 1570 | o Added "Start Minimized" and "Start Maximized" buttons to the Windows
|
---|
| 1571 | page of the Settings notebook. FM/2 starts normal size then adjusts
|
---|
| 1572 | (that lets it size all its windows right first, and gives you something
|
---|
| 1573 | to return to from the maximized state).
|
---|
[58] | 1574 |
|
---|
[111] | 1575 | 2.18:
|
---|
| 1576 | o Added ability to use the undocumented DosQProcStat API in the Process
|
---|
| 1577 | Killer. While this will enable the Process Killer to work without an
|
---|
| 1578 | English version of PSTAT.EXE being present, DosQProcStat is an API
|
---|
| 1579 | subject to change by IBM, so beware.
|
---|
| 1580 | o Added FATOPT.EXE program to optimize FAT drives. THIS IS A BETA
|
---|
| 1581 | PROGRAM AND USES LOW-LEVEL DRIVE ACCESS -- BACK UP BEFORE USING!
|
---|
| 1582 | o Tweaked the online help, adding more hypertext links and detail.
|
---|
[58] | 1583 |
|
---|
[111] | 1584 | 2.17:
|
---|
| 1585 | o Optimized for speed: Quick trees, tree sizes.
|
---|
| 1586 | o Dug the names of the new color palettes out of Warp's INI files.
|
---|
| 1587 | Under 2.x both color palette commands (one new) load the same object.
|
---|
| 1588 | Under Warp they load the two different palette objects available.
|
---|
| 1589 | o Added swapfile/memory watch when Drive Tree is active window in FM/2.
|
---|
| 1590 | o Added HPFSOPT.EXE program to optimize HPFS drives.
|
---|
[58] | 1591 |
|
---|
[111] | 1592 | 2.16:
|
---|
| 1593 | o Added "Update objects" command.
|
---|
| 1594 | o Added "Optimize" command. Be sure to read the online help on this
|
---|
| 1595 | one (under "Context Menus").
|
---|
| 1596 | o Added toolbar changing buttons (buttons that automatically load a
|
---|
| 1597 | new toolbox into the toolbar). See comments in online help under
|
---|
| 1598 | "Toolbar->Add Tool."
|
---|
| 1599 | o Hmmm...Warp has broken the DM_DROPHELP message within an application
|
---|
| 1600 | -- the passed DRAGINFO structure is inaccessible (apparently already
|
---|
| 1601 | deallocated). An appropriate error message will be displayed, and
|
---|
[1420] | 1602 | the code's still there so that when IBM fixes it it'll automatically
|
---|
[111] | 1603 | start working again.
|
---|
[58] | 1604 |
|
---|
[111] | 1605 | 2.15:
|
---|
| 1606 | o Added "Collect list in file(s)" command.
|
---|
| 1607 | o Added "Collect from a list file" command.
|
---|
| 1608 | o Added "Select List" command.
|
---|
| 1609 | o System VIO fonts have been renamed, jumping between "System" and
|
---|
| 1610 | "System VIO", a couple of times now. To top it off, when the name
|
---|
| 1611 | changes, the sizes do, too (i.e. 7.System == 5.System VIO, more or
|
---|
| 1612 | less). Warp is now GA and uses "System VIO" again, so I've changed
|
---|
| 1613 | it back to that. If some fonts don't look right on your 2.11 system,
|
---|
| 1614 | I'm sorry, but I'm trying to hit a moving target. Don't shoot me,
|
---|
| 1615 | I'm just the piano player.
|
---|
| 1616 | o Did some other stuff, but forgot to write it down and have now
|
---|
| 1617 | forgotten what it was. Old age is hell.
|
---|
[58] | 1618 |
|
---|
[111] | 1619 | 2.14:
|
---|
| 1620 | o FM/2 will now detect that a CD-ROM drive which didn't have a disk in
|
---|
| 1621 | it or had a music disk in it when FM/2 was started is a CD-ROM drive
|
---|
| 1622 | when accessed later with a data disk in it, and change the icon
|
---|
| 1623 | accordingly. This also applies to hard drives that were locked when
|
---|
| 1624 | FM/2 started, by happy coincidence, and should work on other
|
---|
| 1625 | removable media drives.
|
---|
| 1626 | o Hints given in error popup for some access errors (for example, when
|
---|
| 1627 | clicking on an empty diskette drive).
|
---|
| 1628 | o Install.cmd will not change the parameters field of objects that it
|
---|
| 1629 | creates if the File Manager/2 folder already existed. It will still
|
---|
| 1630 | update the paths.
|
---|
| 1631 | o VTree honors drive exclusions like it should have in the first place.
|
---|
| 1632 | o VTree will delete a directory if the Shredder refuses for some reason.
|
---|
| 1633 | o Added VTree->WPS folder toggle.
|
---|
| 1634 | o Shortened VTree tasklist title for registered users.
|
---|
| 1635 | o FM/2 will attempt to fit smaller files onto diskettes when a larger
|
---|
| 1636 | file in the list to be moved/copied won't fit before prompting you to
|
---|
| 1637 | change diskettes due to a disk full condition.
|
---|
| 1638 | o Help for toolbar buttons shows up when mouse passes over them --
|
---|
| 1639 | figured out how to implement without excessive message passing (IOW,
|
---|
| 1640 | to my satisfaction).
|
---|
[58] | 1641 |
|
---|
[111] | 1642 | 2.13:
|
---|
| 1643 | o Added ability to set type of selection used in some containers (in
|
---|
| 1644 | the Settings Notebook on the "Windows" page).
|
---|
| 1645 | o Selecting "Settings Notebook" in the FM3.EXE monolithic app, even
|
---|
| 1646 | from container context menus, will always bring up a full settings
|
---|
| 1647 | notebook.
|
---|
| 1648 | o Slightly reduced memory usage for HPFS drives (ah, another reason
|
---|
| 1649 | to use HPFS...).
|
---|
| 1650 | o Fixed bug in SetIcon.
|
---|
| 1651 | o Did some more work on FM2PLAY.EXE to make it more eye-appealing and
|
---|
| 1652 | maybe a bit more functional.
|
---|
| 1653 | o Shortened tasklist title for registered users.
|
---|
[58] | 1654 |
|
---|
[111] | 1655 | 2.12:
|
---|
| 1656 | o AV/2 will now ignore an association if it contains the string
|
---|
| 1657 | "AV2.EXE" in the command line (meaning it might call itself).
|
---|
| 1658 | o Fixed "Lowercase name" bug.
|
---|
| 1659 | o Worked over the context menus again, added a couple more
|
---|
| 1660 | accelerator keys.
|
---|
| 1661 | o Hooked Help button in Child Window dialog to some help.
|
---|
[58] | 1662 |
|
---|
[111] | 1663 | 2.11:
|
---|
| 1664 | o Fixed odd bug in second status line in Directory Containers.
|
---|
| 1665 | o Fixed rename buglet that caused rename from menu/button to
|
---|
| 1666 | give funny default drive.
|
---|
| 1667 | o Added drag and drop to INI Viewer to allow moving and copying
|
---|
| 1668 | data between different INI files.
|
---|
| 1669 | o Added FM2PLAY.EXE to allow playing multimedia files (via MMPM/2)
|
---|
| 1670 | from FM/2 easily. Usage: FM2PLAY.EXE <file> [<file> <file...>].
|
---|
| 1671 | There's a menu item for it.
|
---|
| 1672 | o Added "associat.txt" containing recommended associations for use
|
---|
| 1673 | with FM/2. Please send your ideas for this list.
|
---|
| 1674 | o Enhanced the Bookshelf Viewer.
|
---|
[58] | 1675 |
|
---|
[111] | 1676 | 2.10:
|
---|
| 1677 | o Added Undo buttons to Settings notebook pages.
|
---|
| 1678 | o Fixed bug wherein Save state of dir windows toggle was ignored.
|
---|
| 1679 | o Put in some comma formatting to prevent an untimely death.
|
---|
| 1680 | o Fixed bug wherein Doubleclick Opens toggle was ignored.
|
---|
| 1681 | o Added a couple more Settings pages.
|
---|
| 1682 | o Made appropriate Settings pages available to standalone modules.
|
---|
| 1683 | o Tweaked a few menus for a more consistent appearance.
|
---|
[58] | 1684 |
|
---|
[111] | 1685 | 2.09:
|
---|
| 1686 | o Changed things so the little notification box doesn't steal the
|
---|
| 1687 | focus when it comes up. Duh.
|
---|
| 1688 | o Added "Backup Profile", "Change System Profiles" and "Replace System
|
---|
| 1689 | Profiles" to the INI viewer.
|
---|
| 1690 | o Fixed some glitches in new mask "must have" attribute processing.
|
---|
| 1691 | o Found and fixed bug in Collector's Seek & Scan that could cause FM/2
|
---|
| 1692 | to trap.
|
---|
| 1693 | o Added a Settings notebook containing global toggles and such.
|
---|
[1420] | 1694 | Slower than the menus, but Ron Hester asked for it, and I always do
|
---|
[111] | 1695 | what Ron says...
|
---|
| 1696 | o Return of the weirding ... but that'd be telling.
|
---|
| 1697 | o Added optional split status line.
|
---|
[58] | 1698 |
|
---|
[111] | 1699 | 2.08:
|
---|
| 1700 | o Added "must have" attributes to Filter.
|
---|
| 1701 | o Fixed Undelete dialog so selecting a new drive from the combobox
|
---|
| 1702 | causes the listbox to be refreshed for that drive, and so a missing
|
---|
| 1703 | DELETE environment variable for the selected drive doesn't cause the
|
---|
| 1704 | dialog to abort unless you select Cancel in the information box (so
|
---|
| 1705 | you can pick a different drive).
|
---|
| 1706 | o Added limited optional logging for some simple but critical
|
---|
| 1707 | operations (copy, move, rename, delete).
|
---|
| 1708 | o Documented "start minimized" command line argument.
|
---|
| 1709 | o Added "don't save/restore state of dir windows this time" command
|
---|
| 1710 | line argument.
|
---|
[58] | 1711 |
|
---|
[111] | 1712 | 2.07:
|
---|
| 1713 | o Added "View Bookshelf" and "View Helpfiles" utilities.
|
---|
| 1714 | o Fixed bug in Quick Tree added while fixing the last one...
|
---|
| 1715 | o VTree now saves its size and position on desktop (Ron Gawer wanted
|
---|
| 1716 | that). VDir doesn't, as you can have several of them open at once
|
---|
| 1717 | and it would be somewhat irritating to have them all on top of each
|
---|
| 1718 | other.

[111] | 1720 | 2.06:
|
---|
| 1721 | o In the Collector's Seek-and-scan dialog, the All HDs button now skips
|
---|
| 1722 | removable drives (like CD-ROMs) for convenience.
|
---|
| 1723 | o Quick tree works around the OS/2 DosFindFirst bug that prevents FAT
|
---|
| 1724 | root drives from being found.
|
---|
| 1725 | o Added "separator" attribute for tool buttons -- causes a small amount
|
---|
| 1726 | of space to be added after the button with the attribute, for
|
---|
| 1727 | appearance (grouping of buttons).
|
---|
| 1728 | o Added ability to turn on titles below bitmap buttons in toolbar (it'll
|
---|
| 1729 | have to be short and sweet) and grouped all toolbar toggles under a
|
---|
| 1730 | Toolbar conditional cascade submenu.

[111] | 1734 | 2.00:
|
---|
| 1735 | o A whole new look for FM/2 -- the same thing, only more so. Some
|
---|
| 1736 | things were enhanced, some dropped, some replaced or superceded.
|
---|
| 1737 | Still, if you used 1.x you should feel at home.
