510
5113.01:
512 o Added another archiver date type for user Jans-Peter Otto.
513
5143.00d:
515 o FM/2 Lite remembers if a directory pane was maximized when it
516 closed now (duh -- should have all along, I just forgot).
517
5183.00c:
519 o More minor bug fixes.
520
5213.00b:
522 o Fix two minor bugs reported by users.
523
5243.00:
525 o Most of the text in FM/2 is now accessible from outside the source
526 code files, meaning translations to other languages should now be
527 possible without much problem. A resource translation kit is offered
528 free-of-charge to registered users. This required some additional
529 files (FM3RES.DLL and FM3RES.STR), but FM3DLL.DLL becomes (at least)
530 correspondingly smaller.
531 o Jazzed up Autoview a bit.
532 o Removed a bug that sneaked in during code optimization detected by
533 a user where archive members couldn't be dragged. Then optimized
534 some more, thus tempting fate.
535 o Improved FM/2's internal window selection from menus.
536 o The status button in Directory Containers that shows the selected
537 number of files and bytes now displays a select menu when clicked.
538 o Drive buttons will now show free space on drives as bubble help
539 except for CD-ROM drives, diskette drives A: and B:, and drives
540 marked as "slow" in the drive flags dialog. I also made the buttons
541 a little bigger, and they'll "stack" if required due to insufficient
542 width.
543 o Removed System Information applet from FM/2 -- OS/2 seems to have
544 this stuff built-in now.
545 o Moved MakeArc into the FM/2 Utilities package.
546 o You can now add selected environment variables that list directories
547 (like PATH, LIBPATH and DPATH) to the Drive Tree with a toggle in
548 the internal Settings notebook on the Tree page. Cool.
549 o You can now set a default Target directory for menu and accelerator
550 key copy and move operations, and choose to confirm (and perhaps
551 change) that directory on each operation, or accept it without
552 confirmation.
553 o FM/2 will now make program object Parameters suggestions the first
554 time it's run (no FM3.INI exists) if you should exclude any drives,
555 and will even set the Parameters for you if you like.
556 o Yet more tweaking that no one will ever notice...
557
5582.67:
559 o Jazzed up the mini-command line a bit.
560 o Command lines for the Execute dialog and mini-command line are now
561 saved separately (the former in CMDLINES.DAT, the latter in
562 CMDMINI.DAT, same format). You can save, or not, either type for
563 recall.
564
5652.66:
566 o Increased duration of error window to 5 seconds from 3 (click it to
567 make it vanish early), changed background color to white and text
568 color to dark red, surrounded with red rectangle to make it stand out
569 more. Also gave it a distinctive sound. (This is the error window
570 you get if you do something like try to open the diskette drive when
571 there's no diskette inserted.)
572 o Killed bug reported by Paulo Mario where FM/2 could crash (suddenly
573 exit) after moving a file and overwriting an existing file.
574 o Reworked Databar a bit.
575 o For the adventurous among you, try holding Shift or Ctrl while
576 clicking that second status window in a Directory Container...
577
5782.65:
579 o You can drag an object onto the Drive tree's Open button now, and
580 a Directory Container for that object will be opened.
581 o Long-overdue code cleanup begins...
582 o Fixed bug in FM/2 Lite where it was sorta paying attention to the
583 "bottom buttons" setting in FM/2 when it should ignore it.
584 o Played with FM/2's default settings for new users -- some of the
585 best stuff was turned off by default!
586 o Changed the behavior of the Rename dialog somewhat per user
587 suggestion. "Overwrite if target older or same," "Overwrite if
588 target newer" and "Don't ask again" checkboxes now allow you to
589 selectively skip being asked about naming conflicts for the rest of
590 an operation. Note that clicking the "Okay" button honors these
591 choices, but the "Overwrite" button overrides them for that one file
592 (an overwrite _will_ be performed).
593
5942.64:
595 o Made Window->Tile a cascade menu with Tile as the default, but you
596 can also set Autotile and Tile backwards toggles (renamed Tile
597 horizontal) there.
598 o More help file work.
599 o Tweaking of a few things no one will ever notice, except perhaps
600 as a feeling of more smoothness in a few places.
601 o Added "Leave all attrs" button to Attributes dialog to make
602 "touching" files easier.
603
6042.63:
605 o Fixed bug in UNDEL.EXE pointed out by a user.
606 o Added "Double-click" topic to Tutorial section of help. Did you know
607 that you can make FM/2 do something different when you double-click
608 an object? Other miscellaneous work on the help file.
609 o Moved "Create shadows" command under "Copy" cascade in menus where no
610 separate "Create objects" cascade is available and a "Copy" cascade
611 is available.
612 o Made the way menus appear on new View and Sort buttons more
613 attractive (IMHO).
614 o Bubble help won't appear if the window isn't active now (oversight).
615 o To make it easier to parse the saved output from a Directory sizes
616 window, directory names containing spaces are now surrounded by quote
617 marks.
618 o Related: Put SEEHELP.EXE into FM2UTILS.ZIP for those who have
619 versions of OS/2 with VIEW.EXEs that won't read .HLP files directly.
620 You can read the FM/2 help file directly using this program on such
621 systems: "SEEHELP FM3.HLP".
622
6232.62:
624 o Added /SAVE and /NOSAVE to mini-command line options for a user.
625
6262.61:
627 o Added new buttons to Directory Container, Archive Containers and the
628 Collector that allow you to set sort, filter and view. Removed
629 filter button from bottom of screen (no longer needed). Revised
630 window layouts help to show modified layouts.
631 o More newuser-friendly junk (more bubble help, etc.).
632 o Added Find first/next to INI viewer. Listbox command will work in
633 is bordered in red.
634 o Just a BTW -- there's a new IMAGE.EXE (the FM/2 image viewer utility)
635 in FM2UTILS.ZIP, available free-of-charge at
636 http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/fm2
637 I put some stuff in it that I needed for making pictures for the help
638 files.
639
6402.60:
641 o Fast internal viewer can start configured editor from menu (Ctrl + e
642 accelerator) per user request. Remember, to edit files in an
643 archive, you must still use Files->Refresh to cause selected files to
644 be refreshed in the archive.
645 o Added a bit more bubble help (remember, you can turn bubble help on
646 and off (somewhat selectively) in the internal Settings notebook).
647
6482.59:
649 o Rename dialog will now specifically tell you if the source file is
650 newer, older or same date as target and smaller, larger or same size
651 if there's a conflict with an existing target file, per user request.
652
6532.58:
654 o Added ability to create a new directory and switch to it in the
655 common directories user list (select <New directory>). Revised
656 help to reflect this.
657 o Holding down Shift while selecting a state name will prevent FM/2
658 from closing windows already open now (per user request). An
659 automatic retile of all windows is then performed.
660
6612.57:
662 o Added ability to sort by subject per user request (wouldn't it be
663 nice if Netscape put where we got downloaded files from in an EA? Or
664 let you drag a file over it without locking up the system?).
665
6662.56:
667 o Added ability to use exclusion masks in the Seek and Scan dialog
668 per Harry Travis' request. Also added Append checkbox.
669
6702.55:
671 o Fixed bug reported by Ralph Alvy -- "Append" checkbox being ignored
672 in Save to listfile dialog, FM/2 always appended to listfile.
673
6742.54:
675 o Small tweaks.
676 o I don't do Compuserve anymore. Reach me via the net, or just go to
677 FM/2's web page at http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/fm2
678
6792.53:
680 o Added Commands user dropdown list for picking commands to run on
681 selected files more quickly and easily.
682 o Removed "#" character from AV/2 temporary directory -- WebEx and
683 Netscape were choking on it (a).
684 o Allow disabling FM/2's custom file dialog so you can use MSE's
685 instead, if you like (the toggle's on the General page). (What's
686 MSE? Look at http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/mse) (a).
687 o Added support for PKZIP 2.50 (b).
688
6892.52:
690 o When the FM/2 main window is resized and a Directory Container is
691 maximized within it, it will remain maximized.
692 o Modified AV/2 and ARCHIVER.BB2 so that RAR v2's woefully NIH
693 listings can be read. Would it just _kill_ you archiver authors to
694 get together and come up with some sort of easily parsed listing
695 standard, then stick to it? Please?
696 o FM/2 will now show the current decryption keyword for extra programs
697 like DBFVIEW and FMT from the About box.
698
6992.51:
700 o Tweaked image viewer initial sizing algorithm to better handle very
701 small bitmaps at more nearly correct perspectives.
702 o Added "No folder menu" toggle to internal Settings notebook by
703 user request.
704 o Put floppy letters back into drives userlist dropdown due to
705 user request.
706 o Made image viewer a separate executable due to a memory leak in
707 OS/2's MMPM/2 (mmio) under Merlin beta and some Warp 3 fixpack
708 configurations -- closing the application frees the memory, but
709 nothing else will, so a small, fast, separate application "fixes" the
710 problem (or, if you prefer, "OS/2 bug"). Like FM2PLAY.EXE, this
711 IMAGE.EXE file will now be in the FM/2 Utilities package (FM2UTL.ZIP
712 on CI$ or FM2UTILS.ZIP on the internet). You'll probably want to
713 remove any old IMAGE.CMD file built by previous FM/2 installs.
714 o Added ability to view and manipulate files in archives containing
715 spaces in the filename for archivers that provide information in a
716 particular way (see ARCHIVER.BB2 -- ZIP and LZH archives are set up
717 this way). Other folks who use ARCHIVER.BB2 should take a look at
718 the updated documentation to see how to take advantage of this, but
719 it's backward-compatible, so old versions of those programs will
720 still work correctly with this change.
721 o Removed SEEHELP.EXE -- Warp has the ability to view help files using
722 VIEW.EXE which comes with the OS.
723 o Added "WPS Move" and "WPS Copy" commands.
724 o I no longer accept registrations via direct mail. Registrations are
725 available through BMT Micro or CIS' SWREG only (BMT recommended --
726 see REGISTER.TXT). I just got too much snail mail and couldn't keep
727 up with all of it.
728
7292.50b:
730 o Added ability to convert an image file to another format from the
731 image viewer window.
732 o All supported multimedia types are now "played" automatically on
733 double-click unless you have an FM/2 Association set for them.
734
7352.50a:
736 o Added "Run Viewer as child session" toggle -- if used, any open
737 viewers will close when FM/2 closes.
738 o Added "Env" button to Seek and scan dialog (for searching through
739 directories listed in environment variables).
740 o Added "No sort" option to Collector sorting.
741 o FM/2 will now offer to remove old registration when started after
742 registration has expired, making it easy to enter updated
743 registration information.
744 o Directory Containers can now be switched into Tree View. See also
745 new "Stay in Tree View" toggle.
746 o B2 on Directory Container Folder buttons pulls up an abbreviated
747 popup menu.
748 o Bugfix: The Autoview window wouldn't let you enter Comments on an
749 object that didn't already have them (duh).
750 o FM/2 now taps into MMPM/2 to display image files, instead of GBM. To
751 activate FM/2's "internal" image file viewing, be sure to remove any
752 Associations for MMPM/2-supported image file types (JPG, TIF, BMP,
753 PCX, GIF, etc.) using FM/2's Config->Edit Associations command.
754
7552.50:
756 o Added a horizontal scrollbar to Global files viewer.
757 o Added line wrap (and thus horizontal scrollbar) to fast internal
758 viewer.
759 o Added WWW and FTP component launching to internal viewers per
760 user request. BTW, testpm.exe from the FM/2 Utilities is handy for
761 deciphering the arguments to FTPPM.EXE, which are a bit bizarre and
762 undocumented. Just rename FTPPM.EXE to FTPPM.BAK, copy TESTPM.EXE
763 to FTPPM.EXE in the same directory, open the FTP object's Settings
764 notebook, then open the FTP object's program and compare the
765 results.
766 o Added optional blue/yellow LEDs which can be used in place of the
767 default red/green thread LED bitmaps.
768 o Added a toggle to make the databar boring for those who can't stand
769 too much excitement (I have users who are easily worn out :-). Also
770 added file system type to end of string on user request.
771 o Execute dialog will try to remind you why you called it up in case
772 you fall asleep after double-clicking the mouse and awake confused.
773 It could happen.
774 o Couple of more small workarounds for Merlin beta bugs.
775 o Changed the way the toolbar displays help to eliminate capturing
776 the mouse (kludge, OS/2 should have a WM_MOUSELEAVING message).
777 o Added mini-toolbar to fast internal viewer.
778 o Note new internet address.
779 o Price reduction for commercial registrations.
780 o SET environment variable DOS_SHELL in CONFIG.SYS if you want to use
781 an alternate command processor in DOS sessions (for example,
782 SET DOS_SHELL=C:\4DOS\4DOS.EXE).
783 o Remap command now uses NET USE, enhancements (like it works, for
784 one :-).
785 o Added Miscellaneous->Detach (Ctrl + H) command to Drive Tree drive
786 popup to detach local drives from remote resources.
787 o Updated FM2PLAY.EXE (in FM2UTL.ZIP on CIS, FM2UTILS.ZIP elsewhere),
788 including more controls and ability to load list of files from a
789 listfile. FM/2 will use this listfile method when playing more
790 multimedia files than will fit on a command line using the
791 View->Multimedia (Ctrl + l) command. OS/2 command lines are
792 limited to about 1000 characters, if you're interested.
793 o Lots of other little tweaks and improvements -- some you might
794 even notice.
795
7962.49:
797 o More cosmetic tweaking -- for example, changing status line or bottom
798 button text font will now result in resizing of control to match new
799 font. BTW, if you set ugly fonts or colors and want the defaults
800 back, one way to do it completely is to delete the window position
801 entry in OS2.INI and start from scratch...
802 o Work around for nasty bug in Merlin beta Voice Manager.
803 o Remap drives command added -- untested at this time, as I have no
804 LAN. If you try it and it doesn't work, please report the error
805 code displayed. If it works, let me know that, too.
806 o Fixed bug in Merge code.
807 o Added mini-toolbars to Archive Containers and the Collector (visible
808 only if you have the toolbar in FM/2 turned on, of course).
809 o A couple of other little things folks asked for -- I forget.
810
8112.48a:
812 o Lots of cosmetic stuff (for example, check out the Databar).
813 o Additional help, partitioned Context menu help into smaller "chunks."
814 o Added Find button to Archive dialog.
815 o More Merlin preparations.
816 o Added UserDirs dropdown to standard OS/2 file dialogs used by FM/2.
817 o Added Duplicates command to Global file viewer.
818 o More (subtle) tweaking of Seek and Scan dialog.
819 o Anybody else notice how the competition is trying (in vain) to
820 copy FM/2, but having a great deal of trouble keeping up with
821 the Joneses? :-)
822
8232.48:
824 o Ideal size button logic adjusted so it will work as might be expected
825 with Merlin's new Warpcenter.
826 o Logic for sizing of titlebar buttons adjusted so they look better
827 under Merlin.
828 o Fixed bug in EA editor's MLE control -- an apparent change in the way
829 Warp handles the MLM_QUERYFORMATTEXTLENGTH with an overlong length
830 parameter has changed, resulting in the MLE not being cleared properly.
831 o Autoviewing file comments (.COMMENTS EA) now displays the comments in
832 an MLE rather than static text control, allowing editing. Moving the
833 focus from the MLE after making a change saves the new EA. Note: if
834 a .COMMENTS EA is damaged, FM/2 won't let you edit it in this window
835 for safety (maybe some strange program wanted it that way). You can
836 fix it in the EA viewer (Ctrl + Shift + E) if you know it's an anomaly.
837 Use the Ctrl + Tab accelerator key to switch focus to the Autoview
838 MLE if you're keyboarding. FM/2 supports .COMMENTS EAs up to 32767
839 characters in length. Each line of the MLE (newline, not wrap)
840 creates a separate EAT_ASCII value, in case you care and know what
841 the heck I'm talking about... BTW, GCP downloads automatically fill
842 in the .COMMENTS and .SUBJECT EAs for you if so configured, though
843 it seems to save the .COMMENTS EA in a weird (different from the
844 WPS) format -- but it's readable.
845 o You can use command line switch -<ininame> to start FM/2 with a
846 different INI file (i.e. "FM3.EXE -C:\MYINI.INI"). This means
847 that different users can set up FM/2 to taste and use separate
848 FM/2 objects to start their "version" of the program on the same
849 machine.
850 o FM/2 will try to remind you why the Walk directories dialog was
851 invoked, per forgetful, worn-out user request. :-)
852 o Keys help added per user request.
853
8542.47:
855 o Added "View->As archive" context menu option per user request.
856 o Added maximize/restore button to "FM/2 Lite" Directory Containers.
857 o Added Autoview window to "FM/2 Lite."
858 o Added "View archive" button to Archive List Error window.
859 o Fixed bug -- Ctrl + F7 not bringing up context menu with Sort
860 submenu selected.
861 o Jazzed up direct renaming of files and directories.
862 o Jazzed up Seek and Scan dialog per user request.
863 o AV/2 will now accept wildcarded filenames and view the first matching
864 file in whatever manner seems most appropriate.
865 o Delete key deletes files, Ctrl + Delete is permanent delete, Shift +
866 Delete is save to clipboard, Ctrl + Insert is make directory, Ctrl +
867 Pageup is parent directory, Ctrl + Pagedown is previous directory,
868 Ctrl + Home is root directory. Obviously, not all these keystrokes
869 are meaningful in all windows (for instance, parent directory doesn't
870 do anything in the Collector). These new shortcut keys are in
871 addition to existing accelerators. Applicable windows (see previous
872 caveat): Directory Containers, Drive Tree, Archive Containers,
873 Collector, Global files windows. Per user request. These are not
874 "real" accelerator keys as they tend to bleed through and mess with
875 normal interactions (even these bleed through here and there, but
876 it's benign), but hopefully you'll never notice the difference.
877 o In "FM/2 Lite," you can direct-edit the title of a Directory
878 Container to change directories.
879 o Install now accepts /UNATTENDED argument to run without asking any
880 questions.
881
8822.46:
883 o Fixed drive button bug.
884 o Added "FM/2 Lite" (or whatever you want to call it), a new
885 "personality" for FM/2 intended for those who can't deal with
886 the real thing.
887
8882.45:
889 o When selecting or deselecting by mask, you can specify a text string
890 to be used. First the file is tested against the mask(s), then
891 tested to see if it contains the text (if any is specified).
892 o Fixed bug -- context menus quit working after a Directory Container
893 was closed.
894 o Added Makearc module, mainly for access from NTree.
895 o Fixed bug -- "case sensitive" flag was being reversed for Seek and
896 Scan.
897
8982.44:
899 o "Thread busy" LED added per user request.
900 o Toolbar buttons now allow you to use different bitmaps of your own
901 design. Notes: using user-defined bitmaps in the toolbar can slow
902 loading of FM/2 slightly, but probably not noticeably unless you
903 replace all of them. Request a context menu on a toolbar button and
904 pick "Edit button" to get the dialog where you tell FM/2 to use a
905 user-defined bitmap.
906 o External Archive Containers, Collector, VTree and VDirs now have
907 their own pulldown menu for Files and Views (the shadow menus) and
908 Help for easy keyboard access and/or novice users.
909 o Command lines executed through the command line dialog are remembered
910 for possible later retrieval.
911 o Directory sizes dialog reworked (prettier, sizeable). DIRSIZE.EXE
912 program provided for accessing this function directly (object placed
913 in FM/2 Tools subfolder by INSTALL.CMD).
914
9152.43:
916 o Added optional drivebar per user request.
917 o Added Lock and Unlock commands for removable drives.
918 o Added UUDecode command and Merge command (yep, got another internet
919 connection, finally).
920 o When presented with a list of objects in a dialog (as in the Edit EAs
921 or Attributes dialogs), double-clicking a file object will bring up
922 the configured viewer with the file loaded. This is just a quick
923 view purely for convenience; no attempt is made to view the file as
924 an archive or check Associations. You can double-click it in the
925 Directory Container if you need to go that far.
926 o Added "Thread notes" window -- if you don't like it, minimize it and
927 it should stay that way. When a thread does something that takes
928 awhile, like copying a file, it tells you when it starts and when
929 it finishes.
930 o Under Warp, FM/2 will now query the active desktop in a documented
931 manner when asked to create objects. There is no reliable method
932 under older OS/2 versions.
933 o Improved FM/2's built-in printing somewhat. Still not as good as
934 printing from the appropriate application, of course.
935 o Confirmation lists will now display a bitmap representing the command
936 to be executed on the dialog, where applicable, as a quick visual
937 reminder.
938 o When switching a Directory Container to the parent, FM/2 will
939 make the vacated directory's object the current object.
940
9412.42:
942 o More threading in strategic spots to make response when moving around
943 really slow drives (like ZIP and EZ drives) snappier. The drivers
944 for these drives need a bit more work, developers -- think "cache,"
945 especially for things like providing the label and usage info. When
946 it's slower than the floppy drives, some work needs to be done, eh?
947 o Edit->Drive flags dialog now available from a drive (root dir) object
948 in the Drive Tree -- lets you set flags you used to _have_ to set
949 from the command line (and a couple of new ones). You can still set
950 flags from the command line as an override.
951 o Files can be included in the Drive Tree display on a per-drive basis
952 if you can actually think of a reason to do it (I can't, but someone
953 asked). If you do find a use for it, tell me what the heck it is.
954 o See all files can be invoked on directory (folder) objects
955 (Miscellaneous->Show all files) or the directory into which a
956 Directory Container looks.
957 o See all files window and Collector now have new "Move and preserve"
958 and "Copy and preserve" commands to move or copy objects while
959 preserving their directory relationship (see online help for
960 examples).
961 o Double-clicking on an empty part of the Drive Tree now invokes the
962 Make Directory command. Double-clicking on an empty part of a
963 Directory Container opens its WPS folder.
964 o Target of a drag and drop operation can be changed from the FM/2
965 drag and drop dialog (if you're using the dialog, of course).
966 o Improved directory comparison dialog (no, it's still no PMDirMatch
967 and never will be, and yes, you can still tell FM/2 to use PMDirMatch
968 instead of the internal).
969 o Added Utilities->Compare directories command.
970 o Sorting an Archive Container by date is now possible, at least for
971 some archive types. See ARCHIVER.BB2 for details. You can also
972 Alt-B1 click the titles of sortable fields in Archive Containers now
973 to change the sort type (just like you can in a Directory Container).
974
9752.41:
976 o VTree now runs Directory Containers (VDirs) as part of its process,
977 which should save on a little memory for those of you using FM/2 as
978 as "super drives objects." To take full advantage of this, the
979 "Separate parameters" toggle should be checked.
980 o External FM/2 windows can be closed from the PM Window List without
981 closing the entire program (excepting the main window, of course).
982 o Fixed bug: last line of a hex view wasn't formatted very
983 attractively.
984 o Fixed bug: quick config page didn't work right anymore.
985 o Fixed bug: VDir and AV/2 windows would show external FM/2 windows
986 but not switch to them.
987 o Window dialog now shows and acts on external FM/2 windows.
988 o Checking "Separate parameters" toggle now saves all parameters
989 under the new appname immediately when the Settings notebook
990 is closed. You'll want to be careful here -- think before choosing.
991 BTW, a backup of your FM3.INI file, once you get it set up to your
992 liking, is always a good idea. Don't use FM3INI.BAK as the filename,
993 since FM/2 automatically does a one-generation backup to that name.
994 o Warp no longer allows a container item to be hidden by a thread other
995 than the thread that controls the container if the item is selected
996 (Why? Who knows? Why don't DrgQueryDraginfoPtrFromDragitem() and
997 CN_DROPHELP work?). Since this forces single threaded hiding of
998 objects, I must conclude this is a bug in OS/2. However, since it's
999 in "GA" OS/2 code, I reluctantly worked around it by making Hide
1000 objects single-threaded -- you'll have to wait for it to get done.
1001 Shouldn't be a major problem.
1002 o Added codepage 1004 to codepage dialog. Someone asked, I didn't even
1003 know the blamed thing was there.
1004 o Added Ctrl + F10 and Ctrl + F11 accelerators to start/end a direct
1005 edit of a filename for the rodently challenged.
1006 o Added Next/Prev blank line menu items and buttons to new internal
1007 viewer (accelerators were there before). In text where paragraphs
1008 are separated by blank lines, these go down or up to the next
1009 paragraph. Something I use.
1010 o Added Recent Directories dropdown list to Walk Directories dialog,
1011 which separates the recently used directories from the user-defined
1012 directories in that dialog. Just wanted to.
1013 o Added "DOS-think" and "Windoze-think" quick-config options to
1014 internal Settings notebook. If you use 'em they'll stunt your growth.
1015 o Fixed an obscure tile bug no one else seems to have noticed.
1016 o Changed Shift + F? accelerators to Ctrl + F? to avoid conflicting
1017 with a couple of OS/2-used keys.
1018 o Further tightened integration between VTree and its Directory
1019 Containers.
1020 o Made Tree (optionally) smart.
1021 o Reorganized internal Settings notebook for more "logical" grouping
1022 (some things grow with a life of their own).
1023 o Changed Install so that it puts many objects in a separate Toolbox
1024 folder (someone who's not even registered suggested it, and I decided
1025 to give it a try -- tell me what you think. If upgrading, delete the
1026 old FM/2 folder before running Install again.).
1027
10282.40:
1029 o Added "All" button to Filter dialog.
1030 o Added more optional buttons to main window.
1031 o Added %u/%U metastrings.
1032 o Added hex/ASCII + drag-me window to bottom of new internal text
1033 viewer.
1034 o Added %! metastring.
1035 o Added default archiver setting.
1036 o PM uses several ALT + F? accelerators to control frame windows.
1037 However, this applies to the current frame window, which can be
1038 within the main FM/2 window when run monolithically. Add Ctrl to
1039 these accelerators to affect the main window in that case. I don't
1040 change the system menu text to reflect this as it may be in a foreign
1041 language, and I'm an ignorant, ugly one-language American.
1042 o Added "Separate parameters" toggle.
1043 o Added "Treetop on expand" toggle.
1044 o Windows pulldown now lists external FM/2 windows, as does a submenu
1045 on the container popup in VTree, VDir and AV/2 windows.
1046 o Fixed some minor bugs in Commands menu generation.
1047 o Fixed bug in Collector -- unshifted double-click didn't work on
1048 directories.
1049 o VDirs, external Archive Containers and Viewers now retain their last
1050 set window size -- position is still determined by the Shell (PM).
1051 o Lots of little tweaks no one but me will ever notice.
1052
10532.39:
1054 o Fixed weird bug -- apparently IBM changed the behavior of
1055 MLM_QUERYFORMATTEXTLENGTH in Warp. This change may only take effect
1056 at FP10+ levels.
1057 o Added Open Directory Container button to Drive Tree titlebar -- only
1058 shows up when FM/2 is run as a monolithic app.
1059 o Added "Directory" attributes to Filter dialog per user request --
1060 lets you exclude directories from Directory Containers, or show only
1061 directories. NOTE: if you are upgrading, you may need to go into
1062 the Filter and turn on the Directory attribute -- it's on by default
1063 for new installations. Use the internal Settings notebook to
1064 activate the Filter dialog (DirView and ColView pages) by setting the
1065 focus to the Filter: entryfield, so that the "general" filter is
1066 changed.
1067 o Help file improvements (a never ending saga).
1068
10692.38:
1070 o Walk Directories dialog will now display non-writable drives unless
1071 the directory selection is for an action that requires writing to the
1072 selected directory (for example, copy or move, set extract directory,
1073 etc.).
1074 o Filtering in Drive Tree now available, per user request. NOTE:
1075 filtering is performed _after_ expansion; therefore, it is possible
1076 for the Tree to "lie" to you until you expand a branch (i.e. indicate
1077 that other directories are available, but remove the "+/-" when you
1078 attempt to expand the branch. If it's important for you to know what
1079 the entire tree of a drive looks like with filtering applied, use the
1080 Expand/Collapse->Expand command from the Files menu or a popup. You
1081 can thereafter collapse and expand the tree as desired. Tricks can
1082 be played with the filter mask; for instance, "/C:\OS2*;/C:\MMOS2*;
1083 /C:\TCPIP*;*" will exclude some system directories on drive C: and
1084 show everything else.
1085 o Got rid of the annoying (to me, anyway) extra refresh when the
1086 "Immediate Updates" toggle is not used (more cheating).
1087 o Windows will now be created with the WS_ANIMATE style if "Animate"
1088 toggle on internal Settings notebook's Windows page is checked. Of
1089 course, system animation must still be turned on to see any effect.
1090 o Keyboard input of "standard" characters now performs a text search
1091 to find the closest matching file system object in the container.
1092 You can get the old (OS/2 default) behavior (move to nearest object
1093 starting with the pressed letter) by holding down the shift key.
1094 o When a background task that FM/2 is waiting on takes more than about
1095 two seconds to complete its job, FM/2 will switch it to the
1096 foreground. This means that if an archive is encrypted (passworded),
1097 you'll get the opportunity to enter a password without having to
1098 resort to the Window List to manually bring the window to the
1099 foreground.
1100
11012.37:
1102 o Added "Autoview comments" notebook toggle (page 2) and Config menu
1103 items for same. You can have FM/2 autoview file contents _or_
1104 .COMMENTS EAs -- handy for looking at files that were downloaded by
1105 a package that puts the file description in that EA. You can also
1106 get to that EA on the third page of a WPS object's File page or via
1107 FM/2's Edit EAs dialog, BTW.
1108 o CTRL + Shift + B1 doubleclick opens an object's WPS Settings notebook.
1109 o You can now link-drag a root directory (drive) from the Drive Tree.
1110 For cryin' out loud, BE CAREFUL!
1111 o Credit card registrations via BMT Micro are now available.
1112 o Directory Containers can now have independent sorts if you DON'T use
1113 the "Immediate Updates" toggle. When you set a sort (or filter) in
1114 the internal Settings notebook, you're setting a default for
1115 subsequently created Directory Containers. When you set a sort (or
1116 filter) using the popup menu of a Directory Container, you're
1117 changing only that container. States will now also save the type of
1118 view (Icon, Details, etc.), sort and filter settings for each open
1119 Directory Container.
1120
11212.36:
1122 o Added "Rename existing" button to Rename dialog -- allows you to
1123 rename (move) an existing target file system object out of the way
1124 before moving or copying another file system object to that name.
1125 o Fixed "obscure" bug (reporting user's words :-) causing FM/2 to
1126 enter a loop when "Views" cascade was selected from the action
1127 bar menu when an internal Archive Container was the current window.
1128 o Tutorial section added to online help.
1129 o When a bitmapped graphic file is viewed, the window is sized to fit
1130 on the screen even when the image is larger than the screen.
1131 Proportion is maintained for the initial window positioning. You can
1132 stretch the size of the window. The bitmap is scaled to fit. GBM is,
1133 of course, still required to directly view images in FM/2.
1134 o Changed toolbar button help to "bubble" style, added toggle to disable.
1135 o Added Directory Compare (DirCmp:) field to Files/Dirs page of internal
1136 Settings notebook.
1137 o Added %d and %D metastrings for Commands.
1138 o Percentages in Directory Sizes dialog more accurate (to nearest
1139 thousandth).
1140 o "Include subdirectories" toggle in Directory Compare dialog.
1141 o Fixed bug in 2.35a's INSTALL.CMD. Can you say "duh?" Apparently I can.
1142 o As usual, many little things no one will notice.
1143
11442.35:
1145 o Performance tuning.
1146 o Implemented "minor" user suggestions.
1147 o Added "Recent Dirs" toggle -- automatically adds temporary
1148 directories to UserList as you change directories. You can make them
1149 permanent by Adding them as usual.
1150 o FM/2 may handle DOS archivers now (actually, it does -- I tested with
1151 ARJ); however, you'll have to set them up for yourself and I won't
1152 support them. Don't forget that DOS archivers don't support EAs.
1153 AVOID WHENEVER POSSIBLE OR YOU'LL GET BURNED.
1154 o If you have GBM.DLL on your LIBPATH or in the FM/2 directory, FM/2
1155 will use it to display GBM-supported raster file types when they're
1156 double-clicked. GBM currently supports most OS/2 and Windows
1157 bitmaps, .GIF, .PCX, .TIF, .TGA, .IFF, .VID, .PGM, .KPS, .IAX, .XBM,
1158 .SPR, and .PSE files. And it's free.
1159 o Changed some icons around for a fresher look, added some for display
1160 when you aren't loading icons from disk (for scanning speed).
1161 o Added "Settings" button to Info dialog.
1162
11632.34:
1164 o Added "Tile backwards" toggle, but don't use it (it's a DOS-think
1165 knee-jerk thing to do).
1166 o Viewer won't "restore" the container that called it when it closes if
1167 the container is maximized.
1168 o Filtering speeded up when Autoview window is open.
1169 o Show a little patch of color beside color names in Colors dialogs.
1170 o Added "Folder after extract" toggle.
1171 o Added ^F3 close monolithic app toggle (command id 1111 if anyone's
1172 interested).
1173 o More commands in INI viewer (rename, copy appname/keyname) and
1174 enhanced existing Add/Edit INI record commands.
1175 o Changed method of storing a few things so that they're both easily
1176 human editable (for power users) and so they allow me to
1177 "preconfigure" some things (for new users). If you're upgrading from
1178 previous versions, there's a CONVERT.EXE that'll copy your old
1179 settings to the appropriate format and get rid of old baggage.
1180 o Added "Userlist switches" toggle to internal Settings notebook.
1181 o Added "%r/%R" to metastrings.
1182 o Added "Extract" to drag and drop dialog.
1183 o Height of autoview window can be changed.
1184 o More info displayed in drive info dialog.
1185 o INSTALL is a bit smarter.
1186 o Added two new buttons on status line -- different behaviors depending on
1187 whether you click with B1 or B2 and the shift state.
1188
11892.33:
1190 o Added new internal viewer -- loads files at least five times faster
1191 than the old viewer (which is still available via a toggle in the
1192 internal Settings notebook).
1193 o See all files window retains settings, is a bit slicker.
1194 o Fixed bug -- rename box came up for each file moved/copied.
1195 o Fixed bug -- FM/2 didn't start right with toolbar turned off. Weird.
1196 o Worked around Warp bug -- PM locks up if you select a codepage that
1197 hasn't been prepared. This should be ignored as in previous versions
1198 of OS/2, but crashes the system instead (sheesh).
1199 o Warp apparently still has a 64k limit to what the clipboard can hold.
1200 While I could limit what you send to the clipboard, this is (hopefully)
1201 one of those limits which will vanish with further updates to OS/2
1202 itself, so I'll just caution you about it.
1203 o Colors are adjustable in See all files windows.
1204 o Several fonts are available in See all files windows (all fixed width).
1205 o See all files window allows entering multiple keys to find a file if
1206 the keys are entered within one second of each other.
1207 o System info command made somewhat more human-readable.
1208
12092.32:
1210 o See all files window fleshed out.
1211 o Added "Viewer outside," "Arcboxes outside," "INI viewer outside" and
1212 "Collector outside" toggles to Toggles2 page of internal Settings
1213 notebook.
1214 o Added "Save" button to Directory Sizes dialog
1215 o Sort type can now be changed in Details view by holding ALT and
1216 clicking the title of the field to sort on (assuming titles are
1217 turned on and the field is one for which sorting is available,
1218 of course).
1219 o Added toggle to allow user to select default delete type.
1220 o Added "toolbox" dropdown to user lists.
1221 o Added sample toolboxes to archive.
1222 o Info and EA dialogs now include listbox, lets you scroll through all
1223 objects instead of popping up for each selected object. EAS.EXE
1224 mini-app inherits this; now accepts multiple filenames.
1225 o Check list dialogs now allow calling up the Info dialog for files in
1226 the list.
1227
12282.31:
1229 o Added "Minimize to databar" toggle, also accessible as a standalone
1230 miniapp.
1231 o Tree remembers directories, once expanded.
1232 o An individual drive may now be rescanned in the Drive Tree (related
1233 to the above).
1234 o More keyboard shortcuts for the rodently challenged.
1235 o Drag from recessed text fields in Directory and Archive Containers
1236 now possible (drags the directory or archive, respectively).
1237 o Default Commands command (Do it yourself) added.
1238 o Extract path can now be assigned "*" meaning "use directory in which
1239 the archive resides."
1240 o More menu compaction (well, you think of a term for it).
1241 o New "See all files" window (still under construction, but already
1242 much faster and very functional, without the standard listbox
1243 limitation of 32767 maximum items). Loads, sorts and displays
1244 15,792 files from two local fixed drives in 18 seconds on my
1245 486/66DX2 with normal (for me, of course) background load.
1246 o Fixed buglet in Archive Container status display.
1247 o More user suggestions implemented.
1248
12492.30:
1250 o I forget.
1251
12522.29:
1253 o Added "Topic" entry field in Bookshelf Viewer dialog.
1254 o Added "Quick arc find" toggle in Settings notebook; can speed up
1255 drag and drop operations on floppy/network drives.
1256 o Worked around PM bug in custom frame controls.
1257 o Added "Directory Container state" saving and restoring in a dropdown
1258 list (turned on with "Toggle quicklists" under Config menu).
1259 o Fixed drag and drop bug (couldn't move, duh). Smartened up drag and
1260 drop while I was at it; no sense offering options not really
1261 available due to media type (i.e. can't copy to a CD-ROM).
1262 o Added "Launch" button to drag and drop dialog.
1263 o Added quick-help for dropdown lists (in status box 2).
1264 o Added ability to drop onto userlist dropdown to add a directory.
1265 Also added popup maintenance menu (add and delete directories to/from
1266 list).
1267
12682.28:
1269 o Added optional user directory list dropdown box on main window
1270 (maintenance of the list is still performed in the Walk Directories
1271 dialog).
1272 o Added Drives submenu on Drive Tree's views context menu -- select a
1273 drive from it and the tree scrolls to show it and makes it the
1274 current object.
1275 o Restricted filename quoting in command lines to absolute essentials
1276 -- some programs are broken and choke on quoted filenames. We
1277 absolutely cannot have LIST choking if it can be avoided.
1278 o Double-clicking a directory in the Drive Tree container will cause an
1279 existing Directory Container looking into that directory, if one
1280 exists, to come to the foreground rather than opening a new one; if
1281 the existing window is minimized, it'll be restored. Ditto for new
1282 userlist dropdown.
1283 o FM/2 can now launch Windows apps seamless -- maybe. Sheesh, I'd
1284 use a DOS app first...
1285
12862.27:
1287 o Added "Move & rename" and "Copy & rename" commands per user request.
1288 This extends into the drag and drop dialog (said dialog is now on by
1289 default, BTW).
1290 o Many tiny tweaks that no one will ever notice (for instance,
1291 filenames containing "&" are now quoted on command lines where they
1292 weren't before).
1293 o Added EXAMPLE.CMD to archive as an example of how REXX scripts can
1294 manipulate files listed in listfiles created by FM/2. This allows
1295 Commands to circumvent the apx. 1000 character limit of OS/2 command
1296 lines.
1297 o Made notification window look more homogenous.
1298
12992.26:
1300 o Fixed stupid new bug in moving files from HPFS->FAT with long
1301 filenames.
1302 o Fixed bug in RemoteBug fix that conflicted with another fix for
1303 remote FSD bugs. I'm getting sick of working around remote FSD
1304 bugs -- think I'll just let the LAN folks fix _their_ stuff from
1305 now on...
1306 o Made titlebar of Drive Tree containers respond to request for context
1307 menu as if it were container whitespace per user request.
1308 o Added "Min on dir open" toggle -- a more elegant solution to a taste
1309 thing (IMHO) than a user requested feature.
1310 o Chord on status windows brings up window dialog like it does on
1311 client window whitespace.
1312 o Added "Append to clipboard" command to internal viewer/editor's
1313 Edit menu.
1314 o Moved "Write block" command out of Edit->Blocks submenu of internal
1315 viewer/editor to the main Edit submenu as "Copy to file" so it's
1316 accessible in readonly (viewing) mode while I was at it.
1317 o Added informational tweaking to viewer/editor's Edit->Undo menu
1318 command.
1319 o Added "Walk" button to Seek and scan dialog.
1320 o Added special FM/2 Association command line "<>" to indicate that the
1321 default WPS view should be opened for matching files.
1322
13232.25:
1324 o Added "Edit" and "Refresh" to Archive Containers per user request.
1325 o Added Drag and drop dialog and corresponding toggle per user request.
1326
13272.24:
1328 o Added "Remote bug" toggle since network FSD developers can't seem to
1329 consistently produce working DosFindFirst/Next code to save their
1330 lives.
1331 o Undelete enhancements.
1332
13332.23:
1334 o Enhancements to potential dupe finder per user requests and other
1335 stuff I thunk up all by my lonesome.
1336 o Placed "Seek and scan" on the Utility pulldown. All it does is
1337 start the Collector and post it a WM_COMMAND message as though you'd
1338 clicked Seek and scan on its context menu. Maybe even folks who
1339 don't read the help can find it now (who knows?).
1340
13412.22:
1342 o Additional detail and options are presented when FM/2 can't figure
1343 out how to list the contents of an archive (ARCHIVER.BB2
1344 misconfigured or archive bad) via new dialog. This should make
1345 determining what the archive problem is much easier when the
1346 inevitable problem arises.
1347 o Added duplicate file finder to Seek-and-Scan dialog. Finds files
1348 with same name and/or size and filedate.
1349
13502.21:
1351 o Shift and CTRL modifiers for double-clicking objects in Drive Tree,
1352 Directory Containers and Collector implemented. Shift causes new
1353 FM/2 window to open (directories; direct to View for files), CTRL
1354 causes default WPS open.
1355 o More stuff in the help file (sheesh -- this has gotta stop). The
1356 online help should now make a rather complete manual when printed
1357 together with the READ.ME file (see READ.ME for suggestions).
1358 o INSTALL now makes an object for the online help so that it can be
1359 viewed without starting FM/2 (using SEEHELP.EXE, included).
1360 o Added Filter "Always show directories" toggle.
1361 o Ideal size button supports a psuedo-restore operation, allowing
1362 toggling between two sizes (mine and yours).
1363 o Other stuff I forget.
1364
13652.20:
1366 o Fixed stupid bug that made FM/2 freak out on restart if you turned the
1367 toolbar off and left it off (duh).
1368 o Move-drag onto archives allowed now (if you have the archiver for that
1369 archive type configured to allow moving files, of course).
1370 o Fixed bug in longname<->shortname conversion (FAT<->HPFS).
1371 o Found a nasty way to get Warp's printer objects to recognize FM/2's
1372 D&D.
1373 o Extract dialog can be told to remember its settings (extract directory,
1374 masks, "with directories") distinctly from those set in Archive
1375 Containers.
1376 o Added a few pictures to the online help for extreme novices.
1377 o Added new "Compare Select" submenu with commands that can make
1378 selections based on comparing unfiltered files in all open Directory
1379 Containers. Powerful stuff.
1380 o Added "Hide objects" command (selective individual object filtering).
1381 o Fixed bug -- drag to toolbar quit working when toolbar code rewritten.
1382 o Slight modification to ARCHIVER.BB2 -- -1 for filename position means
1383 to use the last "field" of an archive listing for the filename.
1384 o FM/2 is compiled with optimization turned off now -- caught it
1385 generating bad code in the new Compare Select module and don't trust
1386 it (again).
1387
13882.19:
1389 o Added "Ideal size" System Menu command and titlebar button -- an
1390 alternative to maximizing.
1391 o More work on help file hypertext links using suggestions from a
1392 registered user. Added a labeled bitmap showing the layout of FM/2
1393 windows.
1394 o Worked around weird bugs in Sizes and deleting toolbar buttons that
1395 shouldn't be bugs but nonetheless cause problems on some machines.
1396 o Added some one-line help fields to some dialogs to guide the user
1397 along.
1398 o Added the "Close" checkbox to the Edit Associations dialog, to allow
1399 executing an association to shut down FM/2 (or a VDir window, mainly
1400 for use by folks using FM/2 to replace the Drives objects).
1401 o Added "Start Minimized" and "Start Maximized" buttons to the Windows
1402 page of the Settings notebook. FM/2 starts normal size then adjusts
1403 (that lets it size all its windows right first, and gives you something
1404 to return to from the maximized state).
1405
14062.18:
1407 o Added ability to use the undocumented DosQProcStat API in the Process
1408 Killer. While this will enable the Process Killer to work without an
1409 English version of PSTAT.EXE being present, DosQProcStat is an API
1410 subject to change by IBM, so beware.
1411 o Added FATOPT.EXE program to optimize FAT drives. THIS IS A BETA
1412 PROGRAM AND USES LOW-LEVEL DRIVE ACCESS -- BACK UP BEFORE USING!
1413 o Tweaked the online help, adding more hypertext links and detail.
1414
14152.17:
1416 o Optimized for speed: Quick trees, tree sizes.
1417 o Dug the names of the new color palettes out of Warp's INI files.
1418 Under 2.x both color palette commands (one new) load the same object.
1419 Under Warp they load the two different palette objects available.
1420 o Added swapfile/memory watch when Drive Tree is active window in FM/2.
1421 o Added HPFSOPT.EXE program to optimize HPFS drives.
1422
14232.16:
1424 o Added "Update objects" command.
1425 o Added "Optimize" command. Be sure to read the online help on this
1426 one (under "Context Menus").
1427 o Added toolbar changing buttons (buttons that automatically load a
1428 new toolbox into the toolbar). See comments in online help under
1429 "Toolbar->Add Tool."
1430 o Hmmm...Warp has broken the DM_DROPHELP message within an application
1431 -- the passed DRAGINFO structure is inaccessible (apparently already
1432 deallocated). An appropriate error message will be displayed, and
1433 the code's still there so that when IBM fixes it it'll automatically
1434 start working again.
1435
14362.15:
1437 o Added "Collect list in file(s)" command.
1438 o Added "Collect from a list file" command.
1439 o Added "Select List" command.
1440 o System VIO fonts have been renamed, jumping between "System" and
1441 "System VIO", a couple of times now. To top it off, when the name
1442 changes, the sizes do, too (i.e. 7.System == 5.System VIO, more or
1443 less). Warp is now GA and uses "System VIO" again, so I've changed
1444 it back to that. If some fonts don't look right on your 2.11 system,
1445 I'm sorry, but I'm trying to hit a moving target. Don't shoot me,
1446 I'm just the piano player.
1447 o Did some other stuff, but forgot to write it down and have now
1448 forgotten what it was. Old age is hell.
1449
14502.14:
1451 o FM/2 will now detect that a CD-ROM drive which didn't have a disk in
1452 it or had a music disk in it when FM/2 was started is a CD-ROM drive
1453 when accessed later with a data disk in it, and change the icon
1454 accordingly. This also applies to hard drives that were locked when
1455 FM/2 started, by happy coincidence, and should work on other
1456 removable media drives.
1457 o Hints given in error popup for some access errors (for example, when
1458 clicking on an empty diskette drive).
1459 o Install.cmd will not change the parameters field of objects that it
1460 creates if the File Manager/2 folder already existed. It will still
1461 update the paths.
1462 o VTree honors drive exclusions like it should have in the first place.
1463 o VTree will delete a directory if the Shredder refuses for some reason.
1464 o Added VTree->WPS folder toggle.
1465 o Shortened VTree tasklist title for registered users.
1466 o FM/2 will attempt to fit smaller files onto diskettes when a larger
1467 file in the list to be moved/copied won't fit before prompting you to
1468 change diskettes due to a disk full condition.
1469 o Help for toolbar buttons shows up when mouse passes over them --
1470 figured out how to implement without excessive message passing (IOW,
1471 to my satisfaction).
1472
14732.13:
1474 o Added ability to set type of selection used in some containers (in
1475 the Settings Notebook on the "Windows" page).
1476 o Selecting "Settings Notebook" in the FM3.EXE monolithic app, even
1477 from container context menus, will always bring up a full settings
1478 notebook.
1479 o Slightly reduced memory usage for HPFS drives (ah, another reason
1480 to use HPFS...).
1481 o Fixed bug in SetIcon.
1482 o Did some more work on FM2PLAY.EXE to make it more eye-appealing and
1483 maybe a bit more functional.
1484 o Shortened tasklist title for registered users.
1485
14862.12:
1487 o AV/2 will now ignore an association if it contains the string
1488 "AV2.EXE" in the command line (meaning it might call itself).
1489 o Fixed "Lowercase name" bug.
1490 o Worked over the context menus again, added a couple more
1491 accelerator keys.
1492 o Hooked Help button in Child Window dialog to some help.
1493
14942.11:
1495 o Fixed odd bug in second status line in Directory Containers.
1496 o Fixed rename buglet that caused rename from menu/button to
1497 give funny default drive.
1498 o Added drag and drop to INI Viewer to allow moving and copying
1499 data between different INI files.
1500 o Added FM2PLAY.EXE to allow playing multimedia files (via MMPM/2)
1501 from FM/2 easily. Usage: FM2PLAY.EXE <file> [<file> <file...>].
1502 There's a menu item for it.
1503 o Added "associat.txt" containing recommended associations for use
1504 with FM/2. Please send your ideas for this list.
1505 o Enhanced the Bookshelf Viewer.
1506
15072.10:
1508 o Added Undo buttons to Settings notebook pages.
1509 o Fixed bug wherein Save state of dir windows toggle was ignored.
1510 o Put in some comma formatting to prevent an untimely death.
1511 o Fixed bug wherein Doubleclick Opens toggle was ignored.
1512 o Added a couple more Settings pages.
1513 o Made appropriate Settings pages available to standalone modules.
1514 o Tweaked a few menus for a more consistent appearance.
1515
15162.09:
1517 o Changed things so the little notification box doesn't steal the
1518 focus when it comes up. Duh.
1519 o Added "Backup Profile", "Change System Profiles" and "Replace System
1520 Profiles" to the INI viewer.
1521 o Fixed some glitches in new mask "must have" attribute processing.
1522 o Found and fixed bug in Collector's Seek & Scan that could cause FM/2
1523 to trap.
1524 o Added a Settings notebook containing global toggles and such.
1525 Slower than the menus, but Ron Hester asked for it, and I always do
1526 what Ron says...
1527 o Return of the weirding ... but that'd be telling.
1528 o Added optional split status line.
1529
15302.08:
1531 o Added "must have" attributes to Filter.
1532 o Fixed Undelete dialog so selecting a new drive from the combobox
1533 causes the listbox to be refreshed for that drive, and so a missing
1534 DELETE environment variable for the selected drive doesn't cause the
1535 dialog to abort unless you select Cancel in the information box (so
1536 you can pick a different drive).
1537 o Added limited optional logging for some simple but critical
1538 operations (copy, move, rename, delete).
1539 o Documented "start minimized" command line argument.
1540 o Added "don't save/restore state of dir windows this time" command
1541 line argument.
1542
15432.07:
1544 o Added "View Bookshelf" and "View Helpfiles" utilities.
1545 o Fixed bug in Quick Tree added while fixing the last one...
1546 o VTree now saves its size and position on desktop (Ron Gawer wanted
1547 that). VDir doesn't, as you can have several of them open at once
1548 and it would be somewhat irritating to have them all on top of each
1549 other.
1550
15512.06:
1552 o In the Collector's Seek-and-scan dialog, the All HDs button now skips
1553 removable drives (like CD-ROMs) for convenience.
1554 o Quick tree works around the OS/2 DosFindFirst bug that prevents FAT
1555 root drives from being found.
1556 o Added "separator" attribute for tool buttons -- causes a small amount
1557 of space to be added after the button with the attribute, for
1558 appearance (grouping of buttons).
1559 o Added ability to turn on titles below bitmap buttons in toolbar (it'll
1560 have to be short and sweet) and grouped all toolbar toggles under a
1561 Toolbar conditional cascade submenu.
1562
1563[lazy bum skipped a few...]
1564
15652.00:
1566 o A whole new look for FM/2 -- the same thing, only more so. Some
1567 things were enhanced, some dropped, some replaced or superceded.
1568 Still, if you used 1.x you should feel at home.
