source: branches/guitools-2.0/evfsgui/changes@ 471

ToDo for 2.x:
- Major code refactoring (partly done)
- Debug on/off option is badly implemented (rework required)
- Create Icon. stem in order to ease maintenance of icons
- Fix endless loop if neither EVFS nor Netdrive is installed 
  under all conditions
- Enable WPS integration code (partly done)
- Enable and complete printer support code
- Support server based logon scripts (requires REXX rpc library,
  partly done) (works in a separate utility right now)
- Passive connections/double connection detection does not seem to work 
  properly (it does, it is Turbofolder that is creating the 100% CPU load)
  
Version 2.1-beta
- Added: On-the-fly browsing on remote servers
- Added: Files can be "opened" during on-the-fly browsing (a mountpoint
         is created first) - does not work properly yet!
- Added: Set icons of browsed files according to extender types (only most
         often used types (EXE, OOO, PDF, generic multimedia icons - no WPS 
         mechanism for that)
- Added: Refresh display every 60 seconds in order to reflect changes
         done on the command line while EVFSGUI is open
- Added: "Detach all" menuitem in context menu
- Added: "Refresh" menuitem in context menu
- Fixed: Do not flash during refresh
- Fixed: Workaround for uninitialized advance.!alwaysmp
- Fixed: Do not crash on bad return value from *RxGetMount() in GetChildren
         
Version 2.0.5 2010-04-23
- Fixed: Passive connections were not removed when the same connection was
         loaded using a profile
- Fixed: Missing NLV message if wrong file was dropped onto the left pane

Version 2.0.4 2010-04-09
- Fixed: Connection details doubled since MEMLEN etc removal.
- Changed: Some parts of the code were refactored

Version 2.0.3 2010-02-23
- Added: Open mountpoint as WPS object moved to a separate thread in order 
         not to block the EVFSGUI main window while waiting for a folder
         on a slow connection to open.
- Added: Double-click also opens a mountpoint as WPS folder         
- Added: Debug ON also makes hidden columns in connections details visible
- Fixed: "Abort" button on progress window was not NLV enabled
- Fixed: The NLV subroutine now properly falls back to the builtin 
         (bracketed) message files in case NO (not even an english 
         message file) can be found.
- Fixed: Do not crash in Autostart dialog when no NLV file was found.         
- Fixed: Open mountpoint as WPS object fully workable 
- Fixed: Open mountpint now has a consistent behaviour with other actions
- Changed: Open context menu item enabled for testing (experimental)
- Changed: Show wait pointer while opening WPS folder
- Changed: CltInit: Now scans wellknown locations for Samba binaries 
           (faster at least in theory)
- Changed: In the 1.5.0 GA version of the plugin the MEMLEN, LOGFILE and 
           LOGLEVEL tokens are removed in order to address the problem with
           EVFSRxGetMount() return strings - several changes in EVFSGUI were
           required to address this change in the plugin.
NOTE: This changes makes older profile files, both .ndc and .evp incompatible.
      EVFSGUI can read old profiles, but only saves new profiles. The Netdrive
      GUI does not have such a feature. Older profiles may easily be migrated 
      by editing with a text editor and removing the MEMLEN, LOGLEVEL and 
      LOGFILE tokens from the resource strings manually.
           
Version 2.0.2 2010-01-25
- Changed: Remove Win95/98/IBM Peer length limits from smbtree.vrs.
- Added: EVFSRxGetMount() returns a maximum string length of 255 for
         resdata, if workgroup+server+share+username+password > 52 the 
         resulting resdata string will be truncated. Several workarounds 
         in ParseResourceData() added in order not completely fall over.

Version 2.0.1 2010-01-12
- Added: Alex T.: Use 'Combined' font on DBCS systems
- Fixed: Alex T.: Default fonts are set correctly
- Fixed: Alex T.: Section title colours now correctly default to system settings
- Fixed: Alex T.: Various fixes and enhancements to window resize logic
- Fixed: Alex T.: FWidth/margin got lost on the expose list

Version 1.3.7 - changes not relevant for 2.0

Version 1.3.6
!Fixed: When connecting to a complete server, the workgroup got lost during the 
        connecting process.
Version 1.3.5
!Fixed: Error in profile file parsing logic could lead to double entries
        for LOGFILE and LOGLEVEL (possibly having side effects on EASUPPORT)
Version 1.3.4
!Fixed: Readonly connection option did not work (was not implemented)
Version 1.3.3
*Changed: Provide better message box for profile saving (to explain rather
          odd behavior
Version 1.3.2
!Fixed: No more double drive letters in the drive letters list after mounting
*Changed: "Workgroup/ Domain:" back to "Workgroup:"
Version 1.3.1
+Added: Explanation for errors in case mount operation fails
*Changed: "Workgroup:" to "Workgroup/ Domain:"
Version 1.3
+Added: Support for the (new) ndpsmb logging feature
+Added: Support for the (old) ndpsmb logging feature (deactivated)
+Added: Save "titlebar" color across sessions
*Changed: Merge Alex Taylor's and Herwig B.'s latest changes 
*Changed: Also display status data in hintarea when mouse cursor is over
          the "current resources" pane
!Fixed: Tab order in "new resource" pane
!Fixed: Help did not work for advanced window in NLV versions
 
Version 1.2.1 (2009-04, Herwig B.)
+Added: Try to restart EVFSCTL.EXE once in case it is not running.
+Added: Implemented support for error messages depending on return codes 
        in case of failed operations as provided from ndpsmb.dll version 
        1.5alpha2 or better.
*Changed: Move status data of current connection into container caption
          (Makes more sense there).
*Changed: Show version notice in status area (at the bottom now)
!Fixed: In case the connect operation fails on a newly created mount point,
        the mountpoint is removed again, instead of leaving it in a zombie
        status. That makes sense as EVFSGUI does not support the creation
        and maintenance of empty mountpoints (the underlying EVFS (including
        the REXX interface) supports this, but the GUI does not).

Version 1.2.1 (2009-05, Alex Taylor)
!Fixed: Main window wasn't set visible if INI file was missing.
!Fixed: Corrected English, formatting h in helpfile.
*Added: Better program icon.

Version 1.2 (2008-10)
*Updated: Finally all the help files are updated to reflect all changes 
          (en, de and fr)
!Workaround: It appears that for unknown reasons the SysDriveMap() function 
        hangs if it is used with the "FREE" and "REMOTE" flags, after it is
        called for several times. I noticed that after I received Yuri's 
        latest Samba plugin. The problem disappears if EVFS is not installed.
        This should be tested (and fixed) by Vitali in EVFS (probably).

+Added: In debug mode the output in the console window has time stamps now
+Added: Display name and version of the used IFS on "empty" mountpoints
+Added: Button on the autoload window (the -nogui GUI) to abort reconnection
+Added: Server entry field is now a drop down combo box holding all servers
        to which connections were made with)
+Added: Alternatively support NetDrive for SMB shares instead of EVFS (using 
        undocumented -ndfs switch)
*Updated: All message files
!Fixed: Bug in my autoload code
!Fixed: Bug in my -ndfs code (spotted by Guillaume)

+Added: Autostart EVFS connections feature via Startup folder object
+Added: -nogui switch (only show a small message window)
+Added: -autoclose switch (close eVFSGUI after 3 seconds)
+Added: Load profile specified on the commandline
+Added: Edit via context menu for mountpoints with exactly one resource 
+Added: Context menu equivalents to the Detach and Unmount pushbuttons
+Added: The content of the EF_NETWORK field (aka workgroup) is saved to the 
        eVFSGUI.INI as this changes only on rare occasions (saved me a lot of
        typing during testing)
+Added: Do not attach drive if has already been attached (from TODO list A.T.)
!Fixed: Profiles supported plain passwords whereas EVFS provided encrypted 
        passwords in profile files
!Fixed: eVFSGUI initializes itself properly now
!Fixed: eVFSGUI would hang after displaying the message "no control program
        found"
!Fixed: Cleanup signal stuff ("return" after a signal is a bad thing to do!)
!Fixed: INI file was not closed after leaving eVFSGUI
!Fixed: When several mount points exist and the first one is removed the click 
        event routine was executed after the corresponded record was already
        removed -> eVFSGUI crashed. As a fix the record is validated before an
        attempt to access its data is done. If it does not exist anymore the 
        event routine is terminated without further action.
