47
483.01:
49 o Added another archiver date type for user Jans-Peter Otto.
50
513.00d:
52 o FM/2 Lite remembers if a directory pane was maximized when it
53 closed now (duh -- should have all along, I just forgot).
54
553.00c:
56 o More minor bug fixes.
57
583.00b:
59 o Fix two minor bugs reported by users.
60
613.00:
62 o Most of the text in FM/2 is now accessible from outside the source
63 code files, meaning translations to other languages should now be
64 possible without much problem. A resource translation kit is offered
65 free-of-charge to registered users. This required some additional
66 files (FM3RES.DLL and FM3RES.STR), but FM3DLL.DLL becomes (at least)
67 correspondingly smaller.
68 o Jazzed up Autoview a bit.
69 o Removed a bug that sneaked in during code optimization detected by
70 a user where archive members couldn't be dragged. Then optimized
71 some more, thus tempting fate.
72 o Improved FM/2's internal window selection from menus.
73 o The status button in Directory Containers that shows the selected
74 number of files and bytes now displays a select menu when clicked.
75 o Drive buttons will now show free space on drives as bubble help
76 except for CD-ROM drives, diskette drives A: and B:, and drives
77 marked as "slow" in the drive flags dialog. I also made the buttons
78 a little bigger, and they'll "stack" if required due to insufficient
79 width.
80 o Removed System Information applet from FM/2 -- OS/2 seems to have
81 this stuff built-in now.
82 o Moved MakeArc into the FM/2 Utilities package.
83 o You can now add selected environment variables that list directories
84 (like PATH, LIBPATH and DPATH) to the Drive Tree with a toggle in
85 the internal Settings notebook on the Tree page. Cool.
86 o You can now set a default Target directory for menu and accelerator
87 key copy and move operations, and choose to confirm (and perhaps
88 change) that directory on each operation, or accept it without
89 confirmation.
90 o FM/2 will now make program object Parameters suggestions the first
91 time it's run (no FM3.INI exists) if you should exclude any drives,
92 and will even set the Parameters for you if you like.
93 o Yet more tweaking that no one will ever notice...
94
952.67:
96 o Jazzed up the mini-command line a bit.
97 o Command lines for the Execute dialog and mini-command line are now
98 saved separately (the former in CMDLINES.DAT, the latter in
99 CMDMINI.DAT, same format). You can save, or not, either type for
100 recall.
101
1022.66:
103 o Increased duration of error window to 5 seconds from 3 (click it to
104 make it vanish early), changed background color to white and text
105 color to dark red, surrounded with red rectangle to make it stand out
106 more. Also gave it a distinctive sound. (This is the error window
107 you get if you do something like try to open the diskette drive when
108 there's no diskette inserted.)
109 o Killed bug reported by Paulo Mario where FM/2 could crash (suddenly
110 exit) after moving a file and overwriting an existing file.
111 o Reworked Databar a bit.
112 o For the adventurous among you, try holding Shift or Ctrl while
113 clicking that second status window in a Directory Container...
114
1152.65:
116 o You can drag an object onto the Drive tree's Open button now, and
117 a Directory Container for that object will be opened.
118 o Long-overdue code cleanup begins...
119 o Fixed bug in FM/2 Lite where it was sorta paying attention to the
120 "bottom buttons" setting in FM/2 when it should ignore it.
121 o Played with FM/2's default settings for new users -- some of the
122 best stuff was turned off by default!
123 o Changed the behavior of the Rename dialog somewhat per user
124 suggestion. "Overwrite if target older or same," "Overwrite if
125 target newer" and "Don't ask again" checkboxes now allow you to
126 selectively skip being asked about naming conflicts for the rest of
127 an operation. Note that clicking the "Okay" button honors these
128 choices, but the "Overwrite" button overrides them for that one file
129 (an overwrite _will_ be performed).
130
1312.64:
132 o Made Window->Tile a cascade menu with Tile as the default, but you
133 can also set Autotile and Tile backwards toggles (renamed Tile
134 horizontal) there.
135 o More help file work.
136 o Tweaking of a few things no one will ever notice, except perhaps
137 as a feeling of more smoothness in a few places.
138 o Added "Leave all attrs" button to Attributes dialog to make
139 "touching" files easier.
140
1412.63:
142 o Fixed bug in UNDEL.EXE pointed out by a user.
143 o Added "Double-click" topic to Tutorial section of help. Did you know
144 that you can make FM/2 do something different when you double-click
145 an object? Other miscellaneous work on the help file.
146 o Moved "Create shadows" command under "Copy" cascade in menus where no
147 separate "Create objects" cascade is available and a "Copy" cascade
148 is available.
149 o Made the way menus appear on new View and Sort buttons more
150 attractive (IMHO).
151 o Bubble help won't appear if the window isn't active now (oversight).
152 o To make it easier to parse the saved output from a Directory sizes
153 window, directory names containing spaces are now surrounded by quote
154 marks.
155 o Related: Put SEEHELP.EXE into FM2UTILS.ZIP for those who have
156 versions of OS/2 with VIEW.EXEs that won't read .HLP files directly.
157 You can read the FM/2 help file directly using this program on such
158 systems: "SEEHELP FM3.HLP".
159
1602.62:
161 o Added /SAVE and /NOSAVE to mini-command line options for a user.
162
1632.61:
164 o Added new buttons to Directory Container, Archive Containers and the
165 Collector that allow you to set sort, filter and view. Removed
166 filter button from bottom of screen (no longer needed). Revised
167 window layouts help to show modified layouts.
168 o More newuser-friendly junk (more bubble help, etc.).
169 o Added Find first/next to INI viewer. Listbox command will work in
170 is bordered in red.
171 o Just a BTW -- there's a new IMAGE.EXE (the FM/2 image viewer utility)
172 in FM2UTILS.ZIP, available free-of-charge at
173 http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/fm2
174 I put some stuff in it that I needed for making pictures for the help
175 files.
176
1772.60:
178 o Fast internal viewer can start configured editor from menu (Ctrl + e
179 accelerator) per user request. Remember, to edit files in an
180 archive, you must still use Files->Refresh to cause selected files to
181 be refreshed in the archive.
182 o Added a bit more bubble help (remember, you can turn bubble help on
183 and off (somewhat selectively) in the internal Settings notebook).
184
1852.59:
186 o Rename dialog will now specifically tell you if the source file is
187 newer, older or same date as target and smaller, larger or same size
188 if there's a conflict with an existing target file, per user request.
189
1902.58:
191 o Added ability to create a new directory and switch to it in the
192 common directories user list (select <New directory>). Revised
193 help to reflect this.
194 o Holding down Shift while selecting a state name will prevent FM/2
195 from closing windows already open now (per user request). An
196 automatic retile of all windows is then performed.
197
1982.57:
199 o Added ability to sort by subject per user request (wouldn't it be
200 nice if Netscape put where we got downloaded files from in an EA? Or
201 let you drag a file over it without locking up the system?).
202
2032.56:
204 o Added ability to use exclusion masks in the Seek and Scan dialog
205 per Harry Travis' request. Also added Append checkbox.
206
2072.55:
208 o Fixed bug reported by Ralph Alvy -- "Append" checkbox being ignored
209 in Save to listfile dialog, FM/2 always appended to listfile.
210
2112.54:
212 o Small tweaks.
213 o I don't do Compuserve anymore. Reach me via the net, or just go to
214 FM/2's web page at http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/fm2
215
2162.53:
217 o Added Commands user dropdown list for picking commands to run on
218 selected files more quickly and easily.
219 o Removed "#" character from AV/2 temporary directory -- WebEx and
220 Netscape were choking on it (a).
221 o Allow disabling FM/2's custom file dialog so you can use MSE's
222 instead, if you like (the toggle's on the General page). (What's
223 MSE? Look at http://www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/mse) (a).
224 o Added support for PKZIP 2.50 (b).
225
2262.52:
227 o When the FM/2 main window is resized and a Directory Container is
228 maximized within it, it will remain maximized.
229 o Modified AV/2 and ARCHIVER.BB2 so that RAR v2's woefully NIH
230 listings can be read. Would it just _kill_ you archiver authors to
231 get together and come up with some sort of easily parsed listing
232 standard, then stick to it? Please?
233 o FM/2 will now show the current decryption keyword for extra programs
234 like DBFVIEW and FMT from the About box.
235
2362.51:
237 o Tweaked image viewer initial sizing algorithm to better handle very
238 small bitmaps at more nearly correct perspectives.
239 o Added "No folder menu" toggle to internal Settings notebook by
240 user request.
241 o Put floppy letters back into drives userlist dropdown due to
242 user request.
243 o Made image viewer a separate executable due to a memory leak in
244 OS/2's MMPM/2 (mmio) under Merlin beta and some Warp 3 fixpack
245 configurations -- closing the application frees the memory, but
246 nothing else will, so a small, fast, separate application "fixes" the
247 problem (or, if you prefer, "OS/2 bug"). Like FM2PLAY.EXE, this
248 IMAGE.EXE file will now be in the FM/2 Utilities package (FM2UTL.ZIP
249 on CI$ or FM2UTILS.ZIP on the internet). You'll probably want to
250 remove any old IMAGE.CMD file built by previous FM/2 installs.
251 o Added ability to view and manipulate files in archives containing
252 spaces in the filename for archivers that provide information in a
253 particular way (see ARCHIVER.BB2 -- ZIP and LZH archives are set up
254 this way). Other folks who use ARCHIVER.BB2 should take a look at
255 the updated documentation to see how to take advantage of this, but
256 it's backward-compatible, so old versions of those programs will
257 still work correctly with this change.
258 o Removed SEEHELP.EXE -- Warp has the ability to view help files using
259 VIEW.EXE which comes with the OS.
260 o Added "WPS Move" and "WPS Copy" commands.
261 o I no longer accept registrations via direct mail. Registrations are
262 available through BMT Micro or CIS' SWREG only (BMT recommended --
263 see REGISTER.TXT). I just got too much snail mail and couldn't keep
264 up with all of it.
265
2662.50b:
267 o Added ability to convert an image file to another format from the
268 image viewer window.
269 o All supported multimedia types are now "played" automatically on
270 double-click unless you have an FM/2 Association set for them.
271
2722.50a:
273 o Added "Run Viewer as child session" toggle -- if used, any open
274 viewers will close when FM/2 closes.
275 o Added "Env" button to Seek and scan dialog (for searching through
276 directories listed in environment variables).
277 o Added "No sort" option to Collector sorting.
278 o FM/2 will now offer to remove old registration when started after
279 registration has expired, making it easy to enter updated
280 registration information.
281 o Directory Containers can now be switched into Tree View. See also
282 new "Stay in Tree View" toggle.
283 o B2 on Directory Container Folder buttons pulls up an abbreviated
284 popup menu.
285 o Bugfix: The Autoview window wouldn't let you enter Comments on an
286 object that didn't already have them (duh).
287 o FM/2 now taps into MMPM/2 to display image files, instead of GBM. To
288 activate FM/2's "internal" image file viewing, be sure to remove any
289 Associations for MMPM/2-supported image file types (JPG, TIF, BMP,
290 PCX, GIF, etc.) using FM/2's Config->Edit Associations command.
291
2922.50:
293 o Added a horizontal scrollbar to Global files viewer.
294 o Added line wrap (and thus horizontal scrollbar) to fast internal
295 viewer.
296 o Added WWW and FTP component launching to internal viewers per
297 user request. BTW, testpm.exe from the FM/2 Utilities is handy for
298 deciphering the arguments to FTPPM.EXE, which are a bit bizaare and
299 undocumented. Just rename FTPPM.EXE to FTPPM.BAK, copy TESTPM.EXE
300 to FTPPM.EXE in the same directory, open the FTP object's Settings
301 notebook, then open the FTP object's program and compare the
302 results.
303 o Added optional blue/yellow LEDs which can be used in place of the
304 default red/green thread LED bitmaps.
305 o Added a toggle to make the databar boring for those who can't stand
306 too much excitement (I have users who are easily worn out :-). Also
307 added file system type to end of string on user request.
308 o Execute dialog will try to remind you why you called it up in case
309 you fall asleep after double-clicking the mouse and awake confused.
310 It could happen.
311 o Couple of more small workarounds for Merlin beta bugs.
312 o Changed the way the toolbar displays help to eliminate capturing
313 the mouse (kludge, OS/2 should have a WM_MOUSELEAVING message).
314 o Added mini-toolbar to fast internal viewer.
315 o Note new internet address.
316 o Price reduction for commercial registrations.
317 o SET environment variable DOS_SHELL in CONFIG.SYS if you want to use
318 an alternate command processor in DOS sessions (for example,
319 SET DOS_SHELL=C:\4DOS\4DOS.EXE).
320 o Remap command now uses NET USE, enhancements (like it works, for
321 one :-).
322 o Added Miscellaneous->Detach (Ctrl + H) command to Drive Tree drive
323 popup to detach local drives from remote resources.
324 o Updated FM2PLAY.EXE (in FM2UTL.ZIP on CIS, FM2UTILS.ZIP elsewhere),
325 including more controls and ability to load list of files from a
326 listfile. FM/2 will use this listfile method when playing more
327 multimedia files than will fit on a command line using the
328 View->Multimedia (Ctrl + l) command. OS/2 command lines are
329 limited to about 1000 characters, if you're interested.
330 o Lots of other little tweaks and improvements -- some you might
331 even notice.
332
3332.49:
334 o More cosmetic tweaking -- for example, changing status line or bottom
335 button text font will now result in resizing of control to match new
336 font. BTW, if you set ugly fonts or colors and want the defaults
337 back, one way to do it completely is to delete the window position
338 entry in OS2.INI and start from scratch...
339 o Work around for nasty bug in Merlin beta Voice Manager.
340 o Remap drives command added -- untested at this time, as I have no
341 LAN. If you try it and it doesn't work, please report the error
342 code displayed. If it works, let me know that, too.
343 o Fixed bug in Merge code.
344 o Added mini-toolbars to Archive Containers and the Collector (visible
345 only if you have the toolbar in FM/2 turned on, of course).
346 o A couple of other little things folks asked for -- I forget.
347
3482.48a:
349 o Lots of cosmetic stuff (for example, check out the Databar).
350 o Additional help, partitioned Context menu help into smaller "chunks."
351 o Added Find button to Archive dialog.
352 o More Merlin preparations.
353 o Added UserDirs dropdown to standard OS/2 file dialogs used by FM/2.
354 o Added Duplicates command to Global file viewer.
355 o More (subtle) tweaking of Seek and Scan dialog.
356 o Anybody else notice how the competition is trying (in vain) to
357 copy FM/2, but having a great deal of trouble keeping up with
358 the Joneses? :-)
359
3602.48:
361 o Ideal size button logic adjusted so it will work as might be expected
362 with Merlin's new Warpcenter.
363 o Logic for sizing of titlebar buttons adjusted so they look better
364 under Merlin.
365 o Fixed bug in EA editor's MLE control -- an apparent change in the way
366 Warp handles the MLM_QUERYFORMATTEXTLENGTH with an overlong length
367 parameter has changed, resulting in the MLE not being cleared properly.
368 o Autoviewing file comments (.COMMENTS EA) now displays the comments in
369 an MLE rather than static text control, allowing editing. Moving the
370 focus from the MLE after making a change saves the new EA. Note: if
371 a .COMMENTS EA is damaged, FM/2 won't let you edit it in this window
372 for safety (maybe some strange program wanted it that way). You can
373 fix it in the EA viewer (Ctrl + Shift + E) if you know it's an anomoly.
374 Use the Ctrl + Tab accelerator key to switch focus to the Autoview
375 MLE if you're keyboarding. FM/2 supports .COMMENTS EAs up to 32767
376 characters in length. Each line of the MLE (newline, not wrap)
377 creates a separate EAT_ASCII value, in case you care and know what
378 the heck I'm talking about... BTW, GCP downloads automatically fill
379 in the .COMMENTS and .SUBJECT EAs for you if so configured, though
380 it seems to save the .COMMENTS EA in a weird (different from the
381 WPS) format -- but it's readable.
382 o You can use command line switch -<ininame> to start FM/2 with a
383 different INI file (i.e. "FM3.EXE -C:\MYINI.INI"). This means
384 that different users can set up FM/2 to taste and use separate
385 FM/2 objects to start their "version" of the program on the same
386 machine.
387 o FM/2 will try to remind you why the Walk directories dialog was
388 invoked, per forgetful, worn-out user request. :-)
389 o Keys help added per user request.
390
3912.47:
392 o Added "View->As archive" context menu option per user request.
393 o Added maximize/restore button to "FM/2 Lite" Directory Containers.
394 o Added Autoview window to "FM/2 Lite."
395 o Added "View archive" button to Archive List Error window.
396 o Fixed bug -- Ctrl + F7 not bringing up context menu with Sort
397 submenu selected.
398 o Jazzed up direct renaming of files and directories.
399 o Jazzed up Seek and Scan dialog per user request.
400 o AV/2 will now accept wildcarded filenames and view the first matching
401 file in whatever manner seems most appropriate.
402 o Delete key deletes files, Ctrl + Delete is permanent delete, Shift +
403 Delete is save to clipboard, Ctrl + Insert is make directory, Ctrl +
404 Pageup is parent directory, Ctrl + Pagedown is previous directory,
405 Ctrl + Home is root directory. Obviously, not all these keystrokes
406 are meaningful in all windows (for instance, parent directory doesn't
407 do anything in the Collector). These new shortcut keys are in
408 addition to existing accelerators. Applicable windows (see previous
409 caveat): Directory Containers, Drive Tree, Archive Containers,
410 Collector, Global files windows. Per user request. These are not
411 "real" accelerator keys as they tend to bleed through and mess with
412 normal interactions (even these bleed through here and there, but
413 it's benign), but hopefully you'll never notice the difference.
414 o In "FM/2 Lite," you can direct-edit the title of a Directory
415 Container to change directories.
416 o Install now accepts /UNATTENDED argument to run without asking any
417 questions.
418
4192.46:
420 o Fixed drive button bug.
421 o Added "FM/2 Lite" (or whatever you want to call it), a new
422 "personality" for FM/2 intended for those who can't deal with
423 the real thing.
424
4252.45:
426 o When selecting or deselecting by mask, you can specify a text string
427 to be used. First the file is tested against the mask(s), then
428 tested to see if it contains the text (if any is specified).
429 o Fixed bug -- context menus quit working after a Directory Container
430 was closed.
431 o Added Makearc module, mainly for access from NTree.
432 o Fixed bug -- "case sensitive" flag was being reversed for Seek and
433 Scan.
434
4352.44:
436 o "Thread busy" LED added per user request.
437 o Toolbar buttons now allow you to use different bitmaps of your own
438 design. Notes: using user-defined bitmaps in the toolbar can slow
439 loading of FM/2 slightly, but probably not noticably unless you
440 replace all of them. Request a context menu on a toolbar button and
441 pick "Edit button" to get the dialog where you tell FM/2 to use a
442 user-defined bitmap.
443 o External Archive Containers, Collector, VTree and VDirs now have
444 their own pulldown menu for Files and Views (the shadow menus) and
445 Help for easy keyboard access and/or novice users.
446 o Command lines executed through the command line dialog are remembered
447 for possible later retrieval.
448 o Directory sizes dialog reworked (prettier, sizeable). DIRSIZE.EXE
449 program provided for accessing this function directly (object placed
450 in FM/2 Tools subfolder by INSTALL.CMD).
451
4522.43:
453 o Added optional drivebar per user request.
454 o Added Lock and Unlock commands for removable drives.
455 o Added UUDecode command and Merge command (yep, got another internet
456 connection, finally).
457 o When presented with a list of objects in a dialog (as in the Edit EAs
458 or Attributes dialogs), double-clicking a file object will bring up
459 the configured viewer with the file loaded. This is just a quick
460 view purely for convenience; no attempt is made to view the file as
461 an archive or check Associations. You can double-click it in the
462 Directory Container if you need to go that far.
463 o Added "Thread notes" window -- if you don't like it, minimize it and
464 it should stay that way. When a thread does something that takes
465 awhile, like copying a file, it tells you when it starts and when
466 it finishes.
467 o Under Warp, FM/2 will now query the active desktop in a documented
468 manner when asked to create objects. There is no reliable method
469 under older OS/2 versions.
470 o Improved FM/2's built-in printing somewhat. Still not as good as
471 printing from the appropriate application, of course.
472 o Confirmation lists will now display a bitmap representing the command
473 to be executed on the dialog, where applicable, as a quick visual
474 reminder.
475 o When switching a Directory Container to the parent, FM/2 will
476 make the vacated directory's object the current object.
477
4782.42:
479 o More threading in strategic spots to make response when moving around
480 really slow drives (like ZIP and EZ drives) snappier. The drivers
481 for these drives need a bit more work, developers -- think "cache,"
482 especially for things like providing the label and usage info. When
483 it's slower than the floppy drives, some work needs to be done, eh?
484 o Edit->Drive flags dialog now available from a drive (root dir) object
485 in the Drive Tree -- lets you set flags you used to _have_ to set
486 from the command line (and a couple of new ones). You can still set
487 flags from the command line as an override.
488 o Files can be included in the Drive Tree display on a per-drive basis
489 if you can actually think of a reason to do it (I can't, but someone
490 asked). If you do find a use for it, tell me what the heck it is.
491 o See all files can be invoked on directory (folder) objects
492 (Miscellaneous->Show all files) or the directory into which a
493 Directory Container looks.
494 o See all files window and Collector now have new "Move and preserve"
495 and "Copy and preserve" commands to move or copy objects while
496 preserving their directory relationship (see online help for
497 examples).
498 o Double-clicking on an empty part of the Drive Tree now invokes the
499 Make Directory command. Double-clicking on an empty part of a
500 Directory Container opens its WPS folder.
501 o Target of a drag and drop operation can be changed from the FM/2
502 drag and drop dialog (if you're using the dialog, of course).
503 o Improved directory comparison dialog (no, it's still no PMDirMatch
504 and never will be, and yes, you can still tell FM/2 to use PMDirMatch
505 instead of the internal).
506 o Added Utilities->Compare directories command.
507 o Sorting an Archive Container by date is now possible, at least for
508 some archive types. See ARCHIVER.BB2 for details. You can also
509 Alt-B1 click the titles of sortable fields in Archive Containers now
510 to change the sort type (just like you can in a Directory Container).
511
5122.41:
513 o VTree now runs Directory Containers (VDirs) as part of its process,
514 which should save on a little memory for those of you using FM/2 as
515 as "super drives objects." To take full advantage of this, the
516 "Separate parameters" toggle should be checked.
517 o External FM/2 windows can be closed from the PM Window List without
518 closing the entire program (excepting the main window, of course).
519 o Fixed bug: last line of a hex view wasn't formatted very
520 attractively.
521 o Fixed bug: quick config page didn't work right anymore.
522 o Fixed bug: VDir and AV/2 windows would show external FM/2 windows
523 but not switch to them.
524 o Window dialog now shows and acts on external FM/2 windows.
525 o Checking "Separate parameters" toggle now saves all parameters
526 under the new appname immediately when the Settings notebook
527 is closed. You'll want to be careful here -- think before choosing.
528 BTW, a backup of your FM3.INI file, once you get it set up to your
529 liking, is always a good idea. Don't use FM3INI.BAK as the filename,
530 since FM/2 automatically does a one-generation backup to that name.
531 o Warp no longer allows a container item to be hidden by a thread other
532 than the thread that controls the container if the item is selected
533 (Why? Who knows? Why don't DrgQueryDraginfoPtrFromDragitem() and
534 CN_DROPHELP work?). Since this forces single threaded hiding of
535 objects, I must conclude this is a bug in OS/2. However, since it's
536 in "GA" OS/2 code, I reluctantly worked around it by making Hide
537 objects single-threaded -- you'll have to wait for it to get done.
538 Shouldn't be a major problem.
539 o Added codepage 1004 to codepage dialog. Someone asked, I didn't even
540 know the blamed thing was there.
541 o Added Ctrl + F10 and Ctrl + F11 accelerators to start/end a direct
542 edit of a filename for the rodently challenged.
543 o Added Next/Prev blank line menu items and buttons to new internal
544 viewer (accelerators were there before). In text where paragraphs
545 are separated by blank lines, these go down or up to the next
546 paragraph. Something I use.
547 o Added Recent Directories dropdown list to Walk Directories dialog,
548 which separates the recently used directories from the user-defined
549 directories in that dialog. Just wanted to.
550 o Added "DOS-think" and "Windoze-think" quick-config options to
551 internal Settings notebook. If you use 'em they'll stunt your growth.
552 o Fixed an obscure tile bug no one else seems to have noticed.
553 o Changed Shift + F? accelerators to Ctrl + F? to avoid conflicting
554 with a couple of OS/2-used keys.
555 o Further tightened integration between VTree and its Directory
556 Containers.
557 o Made Tree (optionally) smart.
558 o Reorganized internal Settings notebook for more "logical" grouping
559 (some things grow with a life of their own).
560 o Changed Install so that it puts many objects in a separate Toolbox
561 folder (someone who's not even registered suggested it, and I decided
562 to give it a try -- tell me what you think. If upgrading, delete the
563 old FM/2 folder before running Install again.).
564
5652.40:
566 o Added "All" button to Filter dialog.
567 o Added more optional buttons to main window.
568 o Added %u/%U metastrings.
569 o Added hex/ASCII + drag-me window to bottom of new internal text
570 viewer.
571 o Added %! metastring.
572 o Added default archiver setting.
573 o PM uses several ALT + F? accelerators to control frame windows.
574 However, this applies to the current frame window, which can be
575 within the main FM/2 window when run monolithically. Add Ctrl to
576 these accelerators to affect the main window in that case. I don't
577 change the system menu text to reflect this as it may be in a foreign
578 language, and I'm an ignorant, ugly one-language American.
579 o Added "Separate parameters" toggle.
580 o Added "Treetop on expand" toggle.
581 o Windows pulldown now lists external FM/2 windows, as does a submenu
582 on the container popup in VTree, VDir and AV/2 windows.
583 o Fixed some minor bugs in Commands menu generation.
584 o Fixed bug in Collector -- unshifted double-click didn't work on
585 directories.
586 o VDirs, external Archive Containers and Viewers now retain their last
587 set window size -- position is still determined by the Shell (PM).
588 o Lots of little tweaks no one but me will ever notice.
589
5902.39:
591 o Fixed weird bug -- apparently IBM changed the behavior of
592 MLM_QUERYFORMATTEXTLENGTH in Warp. This change may only take effect
593 at FP10+ levels.
594 o Added Open Directory Container button to Drive Tree titlebar -- only
595 shows up when FM/2 is run as a monolithic app.
596 o Added "Directory" attributes to Filter dialog per user request --
597 lets you exclude directories from Directory Containers, or show only
598 directories. NOTE: if you are upgrading, you may need to go into
599 the Filter and turn on the Directory attribute -- it's on by default
600 for new installations. Use the internal Settings notebook to
601 activate the Filter dialog (DirView and ColView pages) by setting the
602 focus to the Filter: entryfield, so that the "general" filter is
603 changed.
604 o Help file improvements (a neverending saga).
605
6062.38:
607 o Walk Directories dialog will now display non-writeable drives unless
608 the directory selection is for an action that requires writing to the
609 selected directory (for example, copy or move, set extract directory,
610 etc.).
611 o Filtering in Drive Tree now available, per user request. NOTE:
612 filtering is performed _after_ expansion; therefore, it is possible
613 for the Tree to "lie" to you until you expand a branch (i.e. indicate
614 that other directories are available, but remove the "+/-" when you
615 attempt to expand the branch. If it's important for you to know what
616 the entire tree of a drive looks like with filtering applied, use the
617 Expand/Collapse->Expand command from the Files menu or a popup. You
618 can thereafter collapse and expand the tree as desired. Tricks can
619 be played with the filter mask; for instance, "/C:\OS2*;/C:\MMOS2*;
620 /C:\TCPIP*;*" will exclude some system directories on drive C: and
621 show everything else.
622 o Got rid of the annoying (to me, anyway) extra refresh when the
623 "Immediate Updates" toggle is not used (more cheating).
624 o Windows will now be created with the WS_ANIMATE style if "Animate"
625 toggle on internal Settings notebook's Windows page is checked. Of
626 course, system animation must still be turned on to see any effect.
627 o Keyboard input of "standard" characters now performs a text search
628 to find the closest matching file system object in the container.
629 You can get the old (OS/2 default) behavior (move to nearest object
630 starting with the pressed letter) by holding down the shift key.
631 o When a background task that FM/2 is waiting on takes more than about
632 two seconds to complete its job, FM/2 will switch it to the
633 foreground. This means that if an archive is encrypted (passworded),
634 you'll get the oportunity to enter a password without having to
635 resort to the Window List to manually bring the window to the
636 foreground.
637
6382.37:
639 o Added "Autoview comments" notebook toggle (page 2) and Config menu
640 items for same. You can have FM/2 autoview file contents _or_
641 .COMMENTS EAs -- handy for looking at files that were downloaded by
642 a package that puts the file description in that EA. You can also
643 get to that EA on the third page of a WPS object's File page or via
644 FM/2's Edit EAs dialog, BTW.
645 o CTRL + Shift + B1 doubleclick opens an object's WPS Settings notebook.
646 o You can now link-drag a root directory (drive) from the Drive Tree.
647 For cryin' out loud, BE CAREFUL!
648 o Credit card registrations via BMT Micro are now available.
649 o Directory Containers can now have independent sorts if you DON'T use
650 the "Immediate Updates" toggle. When you set a sort (or filter) in
651 the internal Settings notebook, you're setting a default for
652 subsequently created Directory Containers. When you set a sort (or
653 filter) using the popup menu of a Directory Container, you're
654 changing only that container. States will now also save the type of
655 view (Icon, Details, etc.), sort and filter settings for each open
656 Directory Container.
657
6582.36:
659 o Added "Rename existing" button to Rename dialog -- allows you to
660 rename (move) an existing target file system object out of the way
661 before moving or copying another file system object to that name.
662 o Fixed "obscure" bug (reporting user's words :-) causing FM/2 to
663 enter a loop when "Views" cascade was selected from the action
664 bar menu when an internal Archive Container was the current window.
665 o Tutorial section added to online help.
666 o When a bitmapped graphic file is viewed, the window is sized to fit
667 on the screen even when the image is larger than the screen.
668 Proportion is maintained for the initial window positioning. You can
669 stretch the size of the window. The bitmap is scaled to fit. GBM is,
670 of course, still required to directly view images in FM/2.
671 o Changed toolbar button help to "bubble" style, added toggle to disable.
672 o Added Directory Compare (DirCmp:) field to Files/Dirs page of internal
673 Settings notebook.
674 o Added %d and %D metastrings for Commands.
675 o Percentages in Directory Sizes dialog more accurate (to nearest
676 thousandth).
677 o "Include subdirectories" toggle in Directory Compare dialog.
678 o Fixed bug in 2.35a's INSTALL.CMD. Can you say "duh?" Apparently I can.
679 o As usual, many little things no one will notice.
680
6812.35:
682 o Performance tuning.
683 o Implemented "minor" user suggestions.
684 o Added "Recent Dirs" toggle -- automatically adds temporary
685 directories to UserList as you change directories. You can make them
686 permanent by Adding them as usual.
687 o FM/2 may handle DOS archivers now (actually, it does -- I tested with
688 ARJ); however, you'll have to set them up for yourself and I won't
689 support them. Don't forget that DOS archivers don't support EAs.
690 AVOID WHENEVER POSSIBLE OR YOU'LL GET BURNED.
691 o If you have GBM.DLL on your LIBPATH or in the FM/2 directory, FM/2
692 will use it to display GBM-supported raster file types when they're
693 double-clicked. GBM currently supports most OS/2 and Windows
694 bitmaps, .GIF, .PCX, .TIF, .TGA, .IFF, .VID, .PGM, .KPS, .IAX, .XBM,
695 .SPR, and .PSE files. And it's free.
696 o Changed some icons around for a fresher look, added some for display
697 when you aren't loading icons from disk (for scanning speed).
698 o Added "Settings" button to Info dialog.
699
7002.34:
701 o Added "Tile backwards" toggle, but don't use it (it's a DOS-think
702 knee-jerk thing to do).
703 o Viewer won't "restore" the container that called it when it closes if
704 the container is maximized.
705 o Filtering speeded up when Autoview window is open.
706 o Show a little patch of color beside color names in Colors dialogs.
707 o Added "Folder after extract" toggle.
708 o Added ^F3 close monolithic app toggle (command id 1111 if anyone's
709 interested).
710 o More commands in INI viewer (rename, copy appname/keyname) and
711 enhanced existing Add/Edit INI record commands.
712 o Changed method of storing a few things so that they're both easily
713 human editable (for power users) and so they allow me to
714 "preconfigure" some things (for new users). If you're upgrading from
715 previous versions, there's a CONVERT.EXE that'll copy your old
716 settings to the appropriate format and get rid of old baggage.
717 o Added "Userlist switches" toggle to internal Settings notebook.
718 o Added "%r/%R" to metastrings.
719 o Added "Extract" to drag and drop dialog.
720 o Height of autoview window can be changed.
721 o More info displayed in drive info dialog.
722 o INSTALL is a bit smarter.
723 o Added two new buttons on status line -- different behaviors depending on
724 whether you click with B1 or B2 and the shift state.
725
7262.33:
727 o Added new internal viewer -- loads files at least five times faster
728 than the old viewer (which is still available via a toggle in the
729 internal Settings notebook).
730 o See all files window retains settings, is a bit slicker.
731 o Fixed bug -- rename box came up for each file moved/copied.
732 o Fixed bug -- FM/2 didn't start right with toolbar turned off. Weird.
733 o Worked around Warp bug -- PM locks up if you select a codepage that
734 hasn't been prepared. This should be ignored as in previous versions
735 of OS/2, but crashes the system instead (sheesh).
736 o Warp apparently still has a 64k limit to what the clipboard can hold.
737 While I could limit what you send to the clipboard, this is (hopefully)
738 one of those limits which will vanish with further updates to OS/2
739 itself, so I'll just caution you about it.
740 o Colors are adjustable in See all files windows.
741 o Several fonts are available in See all files windows (all fixed width).
742 o See all files window allows entering multiple keys to find a file if
743 the keys are entered within one second of each other.
744 o System info command made somewhat more human-readable.
745
7462.32:
747 o See all files window fleshed out.
748 o Added "Viewer outside," "Arcboxes outside," "INI viewer outside" and
749 "Collector outside" toggles to Toggles2 page of internal Settings
750 notebook.
751 o Added "Save" button to Directory Sizes dialog
752 o Sort type can now be changed in Details view by holding ALT and
753 clicking the title of the field to sort on (assuming titles are
754 turned on and the field is one for which sorting is available,
755 of course).
756 o Added toggle to allow user to select default delete type.
757 o Added "toolbox" dropdown to user lists.
758 o Added sample toolboxes to archive.
759 o Info and EA dialogs now include listbox, lets you scroll through all
760 objects instead of popping up for each selected object. EAS.EXE
761 mini-app inherits this; now accepts multiple filenames.
762 o Check list dialogs now allow calling up the Info dialog for files in
763 the list.
764
7652.31:
766 o Added "Minimize to databar" toggle, also accessible as a standalone
767 miniapp.
768 o Tree remembers directories, once expanded.
769 o An individual drive may now be rescanned in the Drive Tree (related
770 to the above).
771 o More keyboard shortcuts for the rodently challenged.
772 o Drag from recessed text fields in Directory and Archive Containers
773 now possible (drags the directory or archive, respectively).
774 o Default Commands command (Do it yourself) added.
775 o Extract path can now be assigned "*" meaning "use directory in which
776 the archive resides."
777 o More menu compaction (well, you think of a term for it).
778 o New "See all files" window (still under construction, but already
779 much faster and very functional, without the standard listbox
780 limitation of 32767 maximum items). Loads, sorts and displays
781 15,792 files from two local fixed drives in 18 seconds on my
782 486/66DX2 with normal (for me, of course) background load.
783 o Fixed buglet in Archive Container status display.
784 o More user suggestions implemented.
785
7862.30:
787 o I forget.
788
7892.29:
790 o Added "Topic" entry field in Bookshelf Viewer dialog.
791 o Added "Quick arc find" toggle in Settings notebook; can speed up
792 drag and drop operations on floppy/network drives.
793 o Worked around PM bug in custom frame controls.
794 o Added "Directory Container state" saving and restoring in a dropdown
795 list (turned on with "Toggle quicklists" under Config menu).
796 o Fixed drag and drop bug (couldn't move, duh). Smartened up drag and
797 drop while I was at it; no sense offering options not really
798 available due to media type (i.e. can't copy to a CD-ROM).
799 o Added "Launch" button to drag and drop dialog.
800 o Added quick-help for dropdown lists (in status box 2).
801 o Added ability to drop onto userlist dropdown to add a directory.
802 Also added popup maintenance menu (add and delete directories to/from
803 list).
804
8052.28:
806 o Added optional user directory list dropdown box on main window
807 (maintenance of the list is still performed in the Walk Directories
808 dialog).
809 o Added Drives submenu on Drive Tree's views context menu -- select a
810 drive from it and the tree scrolls to show it and makes it the
811 current object.
812 o Restricted filename quoting in command lines to absolute essentials
813 -- some programs are broken and choke on quoted filenames. We
814 absolutely cannot have LIST choking if it can be avoided.
815 o Double-clicking a directory in the Drive Tree container will cause an
816 existing Directory Container looking into that directory, if one
817 exists, to come to the foreground rather than opening a new one; if
818 the existing window is minimized, it'll be restored. Ditto for new
819 userlist dropdown.
820 o FM/2 can now launch Windows apps seamless -- maybe. Sheesh, I'd
821 use a DOS app first...
822
8232.27:
824 o Added "Move & rename" and "Copy & rename" commands per user request.
825 This extends into the drag and drop dialog (said dialog is now on by
826 default, BTW).
827 o Many tiny tweaks that no one will ever notice (for instance,
828 filenames containing "&" are now quoted on command lines where they
829 weren't before).
830 o Added EXAMPLE.CMD to archive as an example of how REXX scripts can
831 manipulate files listed in listfiles created by FM/2. This allows
832 Commands to circumvent the apx. 1000 character limit of OS/2 command
833 lines.
834 o Made notification window look more homogenous.
835
8362.26:
837 o Fixed stupid new bug in moving files from HPFS->FAT with long
838 filenames.
839 o Fixed bug in RemoteBug fix that conflicted with another fix for
840 remote FSD bugs. I'm getting sick of working around remote FSD
841 bugs -- think I'll just let the LAN folks fix _their_ stuff from
842 now on...
843 o Made titlebar of Drive Tree containers respond to request for context
844 menu as if it were container whitespace per user request.
845 o Added "Min on dir open" toggle -- a more elegant solution to a taste
846 thing (IMHO) than a user requested feature.
847 o Chord on status windows brings up window dialog like it does on
848 client window whitespace.
849 o Added "Append to clipboard" command to internal viewer/editor's
850 Edit menu.
851 o Moved "Write block" command out of Edit->Blocks submenu of internal
852 viewer/editor to the main Edit submenu as "Copy to file" so it's
853 accessible in readonly (viewing) mode while I was at it.
854 o Added informational tweaking to viewer/editor's Edit->Undo menu
855 command.
856 o Added "Walk" button to Seek and scan dialog.
857 o Added special FM/2 Association command line "<>" to indicate that the
858 default WPS view should be opened for matching files.
859
8602.25:
861 o Added "Edit" and "Refresh" to Archive Containers per user request.
862 o Added Drag and drop dialog and corresponding toggle per user request.
863
8642.24:
865 o Added "Remote bug" toggle since network FSD developers can't seem to
866 consistently produce working DosFindFirst/Next code to save their
867 lives.
868 o Undelete enhancements.
869
8702.23:
871 o Enhancements to potential dupe finder per user requests and other
872 stuff I thunk up all by my lonesome.
873 o Placed "Seek and scan" on the Utility pulldown. All it does is
874 start the Collector and post it a WM_COMMAND message as though you'd
875 clicked Seek and scan on its context menu. Maybe even folks who
876 don't read the help can find it now (who knows?).
877
8782.22:
879 o Additional detail and options are presented when FM/2 can't figure
880 out how to list the contents of an archive (ARCHIVER.BB2
881 misconfigured or archive bad) via new dialog. This should make
882 determining what the archive problem is much easier when the
883 inevitable problem arises.
884 o Added duplicate file finder to Seek-and-Scan dialog. Finds files
885 with same name and/or size and filedate.
886
8872.21:
888 o Shift and CTRL modifiers for double-clicking objects in Drive Tree,
889 Directory Containers and Collector implemented. Shift causes new
890 FM/2 window to open (directories; direct to View for files), CTRL
891 causes default WPS open.
892 o More stuff in the help file (sheesh -- this has gotta stop). The
893 online help should now make a rather complete manual when printed
894 together with the READ.ME file (see READ.ME for suggestions).
895 o INSTALL now makes an object for the online help so that it can be
896 viewed without starting FM/2 (using SEEHELP.EXE, included).
897 o Added Filter "Always show directories" toggle.
898 o Ideal size button supports a psuedo-restore operation, allowing
899 toggling between two sizes (mine and yours).
900 o Other stuff I forget.
901
9022.20:
903 o Fixed stupid bug that made FM/2 freak out on restart if you turned the
904 toolbar off and left it off (duh).
905 o Move-drag onto archives allowed now (if you have the archiver for that
906 archive type configured to allow moving files, of course).
907 o Fixed bug in longname<->shortname conversion (FAT<->HPFS).
908 o Found a nasty way to get Warp's printer objects to recognize FM/2's
909 D&D.
910 o Extract dialog can be told to remember its settings (extract directory,
911 masks, "with directories") distinctly from those set in Archive
912 Containers.
913 o Added a few pictures to the online help for extreme novices.
914 o Added new "Compare Select" submenu with commands that can make
915 selections based on comparing unfiltered files in all open Directory
916 Containers. Powerful stuff.
917 o Added "Hide objects" command (selective individual object filtering).
918 o Fixed bug -- drag to toolbar quit working when toolbar code rewritten.
919 o Slight modification to ARCHIVER.BB2 -- -1 for filename position means
920 to use the last "field" of an archive listing for the filename.
921 o FM/2 is compiled with optimization turned off now -- caught it
922 generating bad code in the new Compare Select module and don't trust
923 it (again).
924
9252.19:
926 o Added "Ideal size" System Menu command and titlebar button -- an
927 alternative to maximizing.
928 o More work on help file hypertext links using suggestions from a
929 registered user. Added a labelled bitmap showing the layout of FM/2
930 windows.
931 o Worked around weird bugs in Sizes and deleting toolbar buttons that
932 shouldn't be bugs but nonetheless cause problems on some machines.
933 o Added some one-line help fields to some dialogs to guide the user
934 along.
935 o Added the "Close" checkbox to the Edit Associations dialog, to allow
936 executing an association to shut down FM/2 (or a VDir window, mainly
937 for use by folks using FM/2 to replace the Drives objects).
938 o Added "Start Minimized" and "Start Maximized" buttons to the Windows
939 page of the Settings notebook. FM/2 starts normal size then adjusts
940 (that lets it size all its windows right first, and gives you something
941 to return to from the maximized state).
942
9432.18:
944 o Added ability to use the undocumented DosQProcStat API in the Process
945 Killer. While this will enable the Process Killer to work without an
946 English version of PSTAT.EXE being present, DosQProcStat is an API
947 subject to change by IBM, so beware.
948 o Added FATOPT.EXE program to optimize FAT drives. THIS IS A BETA
949 PROGRAM AND USES LOW-LEVEL DRIVE ACCESS -- BACK UP BEFORE USING!
950 o Tweaked the online help, adding more hypertext links and detail.
951
9522.17:
953 o Optimized for speed: Quick trees, tree sizes.
954 o Dug the names of the new color palettes out of Warp's INI files.
955 Under 2.x both color palette commands (one new) load the same object.
956 Under Warp they load the two different palette objects available.
957 o Added swapfile/memory watch when Drive Tree is active window in FM/2.
958 o Added HPFSOPT.EXE program to optimize HPFS drives.
959
9602.16:
961 o Added "Update objects" command.
962 o Added "Optimize" command. Be sure to read the online help on this
963 one (under "Context Menus").
964 o Added toolbar changing buttons (buttons that automatically load a
965 new toolbox into the toolbar). See comments in online help under
966 "Toolbar->Add Tool."
967 o Hmmm...Warp has broken the DM_DROPHELP message within an application
968 -- the passed DRAGINFO structure is inaccessible (apparently already
969 deallocated). An appropriate error message will be displayed, and
970 the code's still there so that when IBM fixes it it'll automagically
971 start working again.
972
9732.15:
974 o Added "Collect list in file(s)" command.
975 o Added "Collect from a list file" command.
976 o Added "Select List" command.
977 o System VIO fonts have been renamed, jumping between "System" and
978 "System VIO", a couple of times now. To top it off, when the name
979 changes, the sizes do, too (i.e. 7.System == 5.System VIO, more or
980 less). Warp is now GA and uses "System VIO" again, so I've changed
981 it back to that. If some fonts don't look right on your 2.11 system,
982 I'm sorry, but I'm trying to hit a moving target. Don't shoot me,
983 I'm just the piano player.
984 o Did some other stuff, but forgot to write it down and have now
985 forgotten what it was. Old age is hell.
986
9872.14:
988 o FM/2 will now detect that a CD-ROM drive which didn't have a disk in
989 it or had a music disk in it when FM/2 was started is a CD-ROM drive
990 when accessed later with a data disk in it, and change the icon
991 accordingly. This also applies to hard drives that were locked when
992 FM/2 started, by happy coincidence, and should work on other
993 removable media drives.
994 o Hints given in error popup for some access errors (for example, when
995 clicking on an empty diskette drive).
996 o Install.cmd will not change the parameters field of objects that it
997 creates if the File Manager/2 folder already existed. It will still
998 update the paths.
999 o VTree honors drive exclusions like it should have in the first place.
1000 o VTree will delete a directory if the Shredder refuses for some reason.
1001 o Added VTree->WPS folder toggle.
1002 o Shortened VTree tasklist title for registered users.
1003 o FM/2 will attempt to fit smaller files onto diskettes when a larger
1004 file in the list to be moved/copied won't fit before prompting you to
1005 change diskettes due to a disk full condition.
1006 o Help for toolbar buttons shows up when mouse passes over them --
1007 figured out how to implement without excessive message passing (IOW,
1008 to my satisfaction).
1009
10102.13:
1011 o Added ability to set type of selection used in some containers (in
1012 the Settings Notebook on the "Windows" page).
1013 o Selecting "Settings Notebook" in the FM3.EXE monolithic app, even
1014 from container context menus, will always bring up a full settings
1015 notebook.
1016 o Slightly reduced memory usage for HPFS drives (ah, another reason
1017 to use HPFS...).
1018 o Fixed bug in SetIcon.
1019 o Did some more work on FM2PLAY.EXE to make it more eye-appealing and
1020 maybe a bit more functional.
1021 o Shortened tasklist title for registered users.
1022
10232.12:
1024 o AV/2 will now ignore an association if it contains the string
1025 "AV2.EXE" in the command line (meaning it might call itself).
1026 o Fixed "Lowercase name" bug.
1027 o Worked over the context menus again, added a couple more
1028 accelerator keys.
1029 o Hooked Help button in Child Window dialog to some help.
1030
10312.11:
1032 o Fixed odd bug in second status line in Directory Containers.
1033 o Fixed rename buglet that caused rename from menu/button to
1034 give funny default drive.
1035 o Added drag and drop to INI Viewer to allow moving and copying
1036 data between different INI files.
1037 o Added FM2PLAY.EXE to allow playing multimedia files (via MMPM/2)
1038 from FM/2 easily. Usage: FM2PLAY.EXE <file> [<file> <file...>].
1039 There's a menu item for it.
1040 o Added "associat.txt" containing recommended associations for use
1041 with FM/2. Please send your ideas for this list.
1042 o Enhanced the Bookshelf Viewer.
1043
10442.10:
1045 o Added Undo buttons to Settings notebook pages.
1046 o Fixed bug wherein Save state of dir windows toggle was ignored.
1047 o Put in some comma formatting to prevent an untimely death.
1048 o Fixed bug wherein Doubleclick Opens toggle was ignored.
1049 o Added a couple more Settings pages.
1050 o Made appropriate Settings pages available to standalone modules.
1051 o Tweaked a few menus for a more consistent appearance.
1052
10532.09:
1054 o Changed things so the little notification box doesn't steal the
1055 focus when it comes up. Duh.
1056 o Added "Backup Profile", "Change System Profiles" and "Replace System
1057 Profiles" to the INI viewer.
1058 o Fixed some glitches in new mask "must have" attribute processing.
1059 o Found and fixed bug in Collector's Seek & Scan that could cause FM/2
1060 to trap.
1061 o Added a Settings notebook containing global toggles and such.
1062 Slower than the menus, but Ron Hester asked for it, and I allus do
1063 what Ron says...
1064 o Return of the weirding ... but that'd be telling.
1065 o Added optional split status line.
1066
10672.08:
1068 o Added "must have" attributes to Filter.
1069 o Fixed Undelete dialog so selecting a new drive from the combobox
1070 causes the listbox to be refreshed for that drive, and so a missing
1071 DELETE environment variable for the selected drive doesn't cause the
1072 dialog to abort unless you select Cancel in the information box (so
1073 you can pick a different drive).
1074 o Added limited optional logging for some simple but critical
1075 operations (copy, move, rename, delete).
1076 o Documented "start minimized" command line argument.
1077 o Added "don't save/restore state of dir windows this time" command
1078 line argument.
1079
10802.07:
1081 o Added "View Bookshelf" and "View Helpfiles" utilities.
1082 o Fixed bug in Quick Tree added while fixing the last one...
1083 o VTree now saves its size and position on desktop (Ron Gawer wanted
1084 that). VDir doesn't, as you can have several of them open at once
1085 and it would be somewhat irritating to have them all on top of each
1086 other.
1087
10882.06:
1089 o In the Collector's Seek-and-scan dialog, the All HDs button now skips
1090 removable drives (like CD-ROMs) for convenience.
1091 o Quick tree works around the OS/2 DosFindFirst bug that prevents FAT
1092 root drives from being found.
1093 o Added "separator" attribute for tool buttons -- causes a small amount
1094 of space to be added after the button with the attribute, for
1095 appearance (grouping of buttons).
1096 o Added ability to turn on titles below bitmap buttons in toolbar (it'll
1097 have to be short and sweet) and grouped all toolbar toggles under a
1098 Toolbar conditional cascade submenu.
1099
1100[lazy bum skipped a few...]
1101
11022.00:
1103 o A whole new look for FM/2 -- the same thing, only more so. Some
1104 things were enhanced, some dropped, some replaced or superceded.
1105 Still, if you used 1.x you should feel at home.
