2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
7 Updated Japanese translation (Hiroaki Tanaka).
11 Slight change to install script for when the installation directory is
12 on an NFS mount (Stephen Watson).

21 which allows manual editing of the names, as well as regular-expression
22 based transformations (Thomas Leonard).
24 Rename buttons in Set Run Action box so that they make sense (Thomas Leonard;
25 reported by Jonatan Liljedahl).
27 Bugfix: Filer would crash when the screen was resized if there was no
28 pinboard (Thomas Leonard).
29 Bugfix: Xinerama support had broken panel repositioning in response to
30 XRANDR screen resizing events (Thomas Leonard).
34 Set the name for filer windows to 'rox-filer'. This allows theming the fonts
35 just for ROX-Filer (Lucas Hazel).
39 If an item has extended attributes, report that before checking whether they
40 are supported (Thomas Leonard).
41 Updated Chinese translation (Babyfai Cheung).
42 Bugfix: Pressing Escape now closes the Properties box (reported by Arnaud
47 Bugfix: Test for presence of extended attributes on Solaris gave wrong
48 answer when they were not supported (Stephen Watson).
52 The icons for mount point and symbolic link are now side-by-side, not
53 one on top of the other, and a new icon is used to mark files with
54 extended attributes (Stephen Watson).
58 Bugfix: Use gtk_selection_data_set_text instead of gtk_selection_data_set when
59 pasting filenames so that other applications know the string is UTF-8
60 (Thomas Leonard; reported by Dennis).
64 Better extended attribute detection under Solaris (Stephen Watson).
68 More extended attribute support. The "Set Type..." menu item should be
69 disabled if not supported by the system or FS (Stephen Watson).
73 Method of scaling pinboard images is now an option, as the default could
74 produce poor results on some systems (Stephen Watson).
78 Updated it.po and Manual-it.xml (Yuri Bongiorno)
82 Bugfix: Dragging a lasso box above the top of the window in details mode
83 selected all the items outside the box (Thomas Leonard; reported by
88 Only show executable files in green if clicking would actually run them, not
89 just because they have the execute bit set (Thomas Leonard).
93 Much faster thumbnail generation (Ken Hayber, reported by Anthony DiSante).
97 When closing a filer window showing a directory under a user-mounted
98 mount-point, offer to unmount the device if no other filer window also shows

133 Use a higher quality setting when scaling the backdrop image (Ken Hayber).
137 Added PanelRemove() SOAP call (Sabin Iacob).
138 Bugfix: Mounting a directory that was accessed through a symlinked directory
139 used the symbolic path, confusing the mount command (Thomas Leonard;
140 reported by Anthony DiSante).
144 Force panel to not take focus when using GTK 2.4 (Thomas Leonard).
148 Minimum width of toolbar now an option (requested by Matthew Weier O'Phinney).
152 Only examine items that are actually displayed, not all items in a directory.
153 Saves checking hidden files, which typically speeds up opening the home
154 directory. Removed an unnecessary extra scan when opening a directory
155 with the default filter setting. Removed the double scan when clicking Refresh
156 and two windows show the same directory (Thomas Leonard).
160 Added option to make panels have the type _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK (Tony
161 Houghton). Metacity needs this.
165 If we can't guess a file's type from its name or extended attribute, try
166 looking at its contents too, if we have gnomevfs 2.8.0 or later available
171 Panel and pinboard icons can now have a single argument set for them.
172 If you need more than one argument, consider creating a wrapper

187 Ensure that a panel applet's properties are set before starting the applet
188 (reported by Tony Houghton).
192 Fixed panel menu positioning for multiple monitors with different resolutions
194 Use _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW to raise and lower the panel (Tony Houghton). Not
195 changing to type DOCK yet as it breaks some WMs.
199 Use new GTK 2.2 functions to set window hints now that we don't support 2.0
200 anymore (Guido Schimmels).
204 Plug a memory leak when loading SVG type icons (Stephen Watson).
208 Fix for the Solaris extended attribute support (Stephen Watson).
212 Set minimum width of toolbar so that all buttons are visible (Stephen Watson).
216 When adding an entry to the Recently Visited menu, remove its parent directory.
217 This stops the list filling up with near-duplicates when you have deeply
218 nested directories (Thomas Leonard).
222 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
226 For debugging, show the failed URI when dragging to the pinboard (Thomas
231 Use Help icon instead of Info icon for popup help buttons (Thomas Leonard).
235 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
237 01-Aug-2004 (Release 2.1.3)
239 Build in ROX-Filer/build, not ~/build/ROX-Filer.
243 Renamed Cancel to Close in the Properties box (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
244 Updated some calls to use newer APIs, and allow compilation on systems where
245 deprecated widgets are disabled by default (reported by Vincent Lefèvre and
247 Bugfix: Panel icons were no longer shown highlighted when selected.
251 Bugfix: When opening a new directory with saved settings, the filer would
252 print a warning and then crash.
256 Changed email address given as the one to send bugs to when using
257 --help to the rox-devel list (Stephen Watson).
258 Thumbnail generation now handles files with UTF-8 characters (Anatoly

272 Added firefox to list of default browsers (suggested by eugene).
276 Added Romanian translation (Cosma Florin).
280 Can now set "Brief" option on the Copy and Move action windows (Stephen
282 Properties window handles mount points specially when calculating their size
287 Bugfix: On Linux, the filer called setxattr instead of getxattr, thus
288 preventing setting filetypes with extended attributes from working.
289 Bugfix: Copy and Move now obey the "Brief" option (Stephen Watson, reported
294 Bugfix: On multi-monitor setups, filer windows always opened on the top/left
295 monitor (reported by Kacper Wysocki). Now they open on the monitor
300 Icons of minimized windows remember their positions on the pinboard (Stephen
302 Filer now officially requires GTK 2.2.0 or later (wasn't working with 2.0
303 anyway, and noone had complained).
304 Bugfix: A race in the code for updating iconified window titles could cause
305 the filer to crash with a BadWindow error.
309 Another Properties window fix: if there is no output from the du command
310 then put a message indicating an error (Stephen Watson).
311 Can now compile without Xinerama support on GTK+ < 2.2.0 (Tony Houghton).
315 Let the panel autoscroll during a drag (Stephen Watson).
319 Fix another bug when closing Properties window before it has finished
320 scanning the directory (Stephen Watson).
324 Improved Xinerama support: now works for tooltips and action windows; filer
325 windows are no longer prone to leaving their borders overlapping; panel uses
326 _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL so it only affects the monitor it's on (Tony Houghton).
330 Make ignoring executable files with known extensions the default setting
331 (suggested by Daniel Poersch). Freedesktop.org is discussing a plan to mark
332 individual MIME types as executable, which may be a better long-term
334 Option to prevent maximising windows from covering the panels (requested
335 by Simon Templer and others).
339 Type specific Send To entries now shown for multiple files when they
340 are all of the same type (Stephen Watson).
341 Can now drag icons to the very end of the panel (Stephen Watson).
345 Another place to look for apsymbols.h (Stephen Watson).
349 More fixes for the new build system (Stephen Watson).
353 Fix portability of new build system and ensure configure can find the
354 version number again (Stephen Watson).
358 Build object files in ~/build/ROX-Filer, in case source directory is read-only.
359 This also reduces the risk of distributing the object files by accident.
363 Don't allow toolbar buttons to focus (needed for GTK 2.4).
367 Fix loss of bookmark name when re-ordering (Rahsheen Porter).
368 Removed installation of thumbnail handlers via the Set Icon dialog. It was
369 never documented and all the thumbnailers use the mime_handler installation
370 anyway (Stephen Watson).
374 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
378 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
382 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
384 30-Apr-2004 (Release 2.1.2)
386 Removed toolbar hint type from panel. It caused too many problems.
390 Added 'Download handler' to drag and drop options. This program is invoked
391 when a URI is dragged to the filer (eg, from a web-browser). The default
392 command runs wget to download the file (Andrew Flegg).
396 Bugfix: URIs received through drag-and-drop were unescaped twice, causing
397 problems with names containing the '%' character (spotted by Jonatan
402 Cope with spaces in ROX-Filer's path.
403 Added a load of default keys, since many GTK setups now make it almost
404 impossible to change shortcuts.
405 Added --leaks option to run ROX-Filer through valgrind with the memory
406 leak option checking on (Stephen Watson).
410 Added Xinerama support (Tony Houghton).
411 Set window type hint = toolbar for panel to prevent it appearing in pagers etc
416 Added method of saving display settings for directories. Mostly working,
417 but bugs remain related to size and position (Stephen Watson).
418 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
422 Load extended attribute functions dynamically. This should mean that compiling
423 ROX-Filer with a new glibc won't make it stop working with older versions due
424 to the functions being missing.
428 Use * as a synonym for unfiltered (Stephen Watson).
432 Bookmarks can be given titles (Stephen Watson).
436 Fix memory leak in thumbnails code (Stephen Watson).
440 Fixed bug in details mode for showing hidden files (Stephen Watson).
444 Don't display an error box when installing the ROX icon theme. It just
445 worries people for no reason.
449 Updated Chinese translation (Babyfai Cheung).
453 Option to make the File menu appear directly when the menu is opened with
454 files selected (Peter Geer).
458 Added an arrow to the comparison area of the action box so you can see
459 which file overwrites the other (Stephen Watson).
463 Sort by user/group now uses the name, not the number (Stephen Watson).
467 Added 'Select by Name'.
471 Cope with XRandR screen resizing (Geoff Youngs and Tom Morton).
475 Can now filter files by name, using normal shell (glob) patterns (Stephen
480 Updated it.po and Manual-it (Yuri Bongiorno).
484 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
486 24-Jan-2004 (Release 2.1.1)

501 Accept Mozilla's alternative to the standard text/uri-list target during
502 drag-and-drop (Andrew Flegg).
506 Bugfix: Icon shortcuts with out modifier keys didn't work if NumLock,
507 CapsLock, etc were turned on (reported by Peter Geer).
508 Bugfix: Handle case when the output of uname -m contains spaces (Stephen
509 Watson, reported on #rox).
513 Renamed some functions stolen from Gtk to avoid possible conflicts with
514 the Gtk-2.3 series (reported by Stu Tissimus).
518 Make the Ctrl-button-3 menu pointer appear at the same place regardless
519 of the number of custom entries (Stephen Watson).
523 Make Ctrl-button-3 open the menu slightly higher, so Delete isn't under the
524 pointer (suggested by Ryan Pavlik).
528 Allow non image/* thumbnails in details mode. Label next to the combo
529 in the Set Type action dialog is now "Type" and not "Command" (Stephen
534 Work out which include file we need for getxattr (Stephen Watson).
538 Allow editing a symlink's target from the Properties box (suggested by Arnaud
540 Experimental extended attributes support for setting MIME types (Stephen

549 Added 'Specify the prefix' install option (Ryan Pavlik).
550 Updated Russian translation (Vladimir Popov).
554 Bugfix: Cancelling the info window with a du process still running could
555 crash the filer (reported by Peter Geer).

563 If a panel icon has an empty label, show it full size (requested by Stephen
568 Use apsymbols.h (from autopackage.org) if possible for binary compatibility
569 with older glibc versions. Use g_ascii_* functions instead of the ctypes ones
571 Bugfix: Files with '&' in their names couldn't be saved in groups (reported
572 by Nils-Erik Svangård).
576 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
577 Resizing by double clicking on background now optional (Stephen Watson).
581 Added optional top and bottom margines for iconized window placement
586 Don't lower the panel due when the pointer 'leaves' due to a grab (eg, clicking
587 or opening a menu). This also prevents a flickering problem with Openbox 3.
591 Bugfix: FreeBSD reported file sizes with units of 'null' due to large file
592 support not being detected (igla).
596 Larger default size for bookmarks editor (requested by Matthew Weier OPhinney).
600 Let the thumbnail helpers be app dirs, plus can be set from the Set Icon
601 dialog (Stephen Watson).

609 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
610 Updated German translation (Guido Schimmels).
611 Offer Eject even for unmounted disks (reported by Matthew Weier O'Phinney).

617 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
618 Removed some dead code, memory leaks, etc that had crept in.

657 Implementation of Format, just as a user-defined command. Also mount
658 point menu items reflect mounted/not mounted status (Stephen Watson).
662 Implementation of Free Space (Stephen Watson). OpenDir SOAP message now
663 takes an optional Window element. Pass the same Window to re-use the window.
667 Allow ejecting mounted media.
671 Don't create a corrupted pinboard/panel file if a non-UTF8 pathname is
672 dragged to it (reported by Eugeni Andreechtchev).
673 Get file icons using freedesktop.org icon theme system.
677 Added Czech translation (Jan Provaznik).
681 Help, Format, Eject and Free Space now appear in the AppMenu section of the
682 menu. Help is only shown for applications, and the others only for mount
687 Added ability to call external programs to generate thumbnails for types
688 other than image/* (Stephen Watson).
692 If a string can't be converted from the local character set to UTF-8,
693 fallback to converting from iso-8859-1.

698 Bugfix: Didn't use XDG_DATA_DIRS to find type descriptions.
702 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
706 Allow types other than image/* to have thumbnails, although we can't
707 generate them yet (Stephen Watson).
708 Added Eject menu option for unmounted mount points (Stephen Watson).
712 Doing a Refresh in a directory under /uri/0install triggers a remote refresh.
716 Less frame-heavy look for info box (Thomas Leonard).
717 When mounting, force a refresh even if the mtime of the new disk is the same,
718 since some formats don't change it. Also, if mounting gives an error, check to
719 see if it worked anyway (Thomas Leonard).
723 Added sort and selection buttons to the toolbar. They start off disabled,
724 enable them from Options->Tools if you want them (Stephen Watson).

730 Don't show hidden files on the SendTo menu (reported by Arnaud Calvo).

743 Updated italian translation in AppInfo.xml and src/po/it.po (Yuri Bongiorno)
747 When renaming a non-UTF8 file, still assume the directory is valid UTF-8
748 (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
752 Sort items on the SendTo menu (requested by John Pettigrew).
756 Removed the menu-on-button-2 option. It was too inconsistant with everything
757 else, including panel applets and window managers, to be useful. Edit bind.c if
762 Button-2 drags on panel applets always work now, even if the applet doesn't
763 forward them explicitly.
767 Fix scrolling problem with GTK+-2.2.2 (reported by Alastair Porter, with
768 help from Götz Waschk).
772 Bugfix: Resize on style change didn't do anything (Andy Hanton).

852 Updated install script to use new XDG Base Directory spec (reported by
854 Also install man pages under 'share/man'.
858 Close stdout when running child processes for users running startx from the
859 console, since some terminal applications try to read from the console,
860 freezing X (Keith R. John Warno).
861 Forward scroll events on pinboard to window manager, and add option to
862 workaround *box issues (Matthew Weier O'Phinney).

997 ignored (reported by Michael Adams).
998 Bugfix: Test for valid sort-type in SOAP call was reserved, so you couldn't set

1027 option (reported by Laurent Moussault).
1028 Allow changing the pinboard style without having to drag the image back in
1029 (requested by Jesse Wagner).
1030 Remove button style from iconified windows. Use a semi-transparent border
1031 instead. The actual effect is flexible; perhaps someone with artistic
1032 talent can do something better?
1033 Double-buffer small pinboard updates.
1034 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
1038 Option to turn off column headings in List View (Adam Sampson).

1051 Aborting an action window tries to kill all child processes, not just the

1067 title bar, and only report it once in an error box.

2128 Updated Dutch translation (Wilbert Berendsen).
2129 Updated to Gtk+-1.3.13 (action window scrolling now works).

2136 Added instructions for Window Maker pinboard icons to the manual
2138 Resizer now allows space for the 'Running as ...' message (reported by

2155 for Gtk+-1.2, and in UTF-8 for Gtk+-2.0.

2157 the menu, the item now remains selected when you enter the command.

2160 Updated Dutch translation (Wilbert Berendsen).
2164 _ROX_PANEL_MENU_POS property is now set on each GtkSocket window, rather than

2168 Loading a thumbnail now stores the details when loading started, not
2170 Bugfix: Under Gtk+-2.0, the savebox focussed the OK button rather than the
2175 Changing the permission on a file failed to update the display (reported by

2193 conversion fails (Stephen Watson).
2195 Deleting a symlink to a pinboard or panel icon showed a warning, even though
2196 there was no danger, because it followed the symlink. Trying to copy a symlink
2197 inside the directory it pointed to failed for the same reason.
2201 Big changes to internationalisation for pinboards and panels to fix problems
2202 with incompatible character sets (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
2203 When creating thumbnails, create to a temporary file and rename in case another
2204 program tries to write the save thumbnail at the same time.

2206 installing without an X server (requested by Michael Duelli).
2210 Converter for old-format config files now stops if the file looks like
2211 XML (probably from a failed conversion).

2337 With Gtk+-2.0 UTF-8 converstion, the filer now converts from the charset
2338 specified in the translation (was always using iso-8859-1).
2342 If thumbnailing is cancelled, it can be resumed later. Hiding thumbnails
2343 stops any scan in progress automatically. Added 'All' and 'Thumbs' status
2348 New 'Show image thumnails' option to set this as the default (requested by
2350 Got details working again with Gtk+-1.2 (spotted by Kristian Rink).
2354 New thumbnail system. 'Create Thumbs' is now 'Show Thumbnails' and can

2361 Improved error reporting.
2362 Improved sizing code when details are on.

2395 Target mode, dragging an unselected item, and auto-selecting an item when
2396 opening the menu now all work without grabbing the primary selection.

2402 now reclaims the selection.
2403 Removed default minibuffer option for now.
2404 The dash forms in Find tests can be combined, eg '-rwx'.

2410 icons are marked as desktop features (requested by Laurent Moussault).
2411 Thumbnails are now stored using an md5 hash of their names.
2412 Pinboard icons can be repositioned by dragging with the left mouse button
2413 (middle button drag stopped working with sawfish, and this is easier anyway).
2417 New scanning system: blank items are added to the window first and then the
2418 icons and types get filled in later. Looks better and simplifies the sizing
2420 Code tidying in various places.
2424 Bugfix: Filer would quit if only Info boxes were open.
2425 Bugfix: Pinboard and panel windows didn't get the correct hints set under

2431 efficient now, and easier to get aa fonts working...
2435 Fixed Gtk+-2.0 wheel mouse support.
2436 In the Info box, 'File says...' was reporting on the program used to

2446 of the SOAP working draft.
2447 Added Large File Support: files over 4Gb now have their sizes detected

2455 it was in the displayed area before.
2457 When closing the Enter Path minibuffer, keep Show Hidden on if the cursor is
2460 When using --show with a hidden file, turn on Show Hidden. Also, delay the
2461 winking effect until the window actually appears.

2467 Kristian A. Rink and others).

2470 selection (Andras Mohari).

2482 Added a new root window property (_ROX_FILER_EUID_HOST) which points to

2492 Moved 'Select All', 'Clear Selection' and 'Select If...' to a new 'Select'

2496 the console (Olivier Fourdan).
2500 Manpage is now generated automatically from DocBook source.
2501 Short forms for many find expressions, such as -d for IsDir (suggested by

2549 width or height of zero (Andras Mohari).

2554 retrieved by pressing [0-9] (suggested by Jakub Turski). The groups are not

2561 In action windows, the a long filename no longer makes the window get wider
2562 (requested by Graham Borland).
2563 Added 'Types' section to the Options window, allowing easy(ish) access
2564 to the MIME-info files, plus a reload button, and icons for MIME-types can
2565 be set from the 'Set Icon...' box (Stephen Watson).

2570 used for icons (Francesco Bochicchio).

2578 - Disk usage forgot to count special files like pipes, etc.
2579 - Page up/down scrolls a window full at a time instead of 10 items.
2580 - Don't get icons from the cache if thumbnail mode is off anymore.
2581 - modechange.c: deleted useless stuff and fixed octal parsing to detect
2582 *all* illegal values (eg 010000000000000).
2583 - Added 'Show/hide hidden files' toolbar button.
2584 - Lots of code tidying.

2618 option to access it directly.
2622 Open new windows at the mouse position (suggested by Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson).
2623 Bugfix: If file doesn't accept the '-b' option then examining a file in
2624 the root directory didn't work (Stephen Watson).
2628 Use --version instead of 'which' to test for programs as not everyone has
2629 which (suggested by Vincent Lefevre).
2630 Bugfix: When setting an icon for a file with a space in the name, the
2631 setting wasn't saved correctly (spotted by Arnaud Calvo and Jakub
2632 Turski). The 'globicons' file should be converted automatically
2633 when the filer is run.
2637 Added support for the regex field in MIME-info. This allows files to be
2638 matched with patterns, not just on their extensions. For example, '.gtkrc'
2639 is now typed 'x-gtkrc' despite having no extension (Stephen Watson and
2644 Allow AppIcon.xpm and .DirIcon.png to be symlinks (Bernard Jungen).
2648 When running on a remote machine, display the remote host's name in the

2673 Bugfix: When sorting while winking an item, the filer would sometimes scroll
2674 to the wrong place (Andras Mohari).
2675 Bugfix: If all the selected files were deleted, then trying to paste the
2676 selection caused a crash (Fabien Coutant).
2680 Colour files by type (Andras Mohari).
2684 Added -p to mkdir in install scripts to create any missing parent
2685 directories (Michel Alexandre Salim).

2735 The 'src/po/dist' script now converts all text to UTF-8.
2739 Fixed some problems with the configure.in script and autoconf 2.50 (Richard
2744 Updated Dutch translation (Jasper Huijsmans).
2745 Send To menu lists contents of all Send To directories in Choices, not just
2746 the first one found.
2747 Fixed another XML compiling problem (Stephen Watson).
2751 Added Customise to `Send To' menu.
2755 Detached Send To menu from main menu structure. Allows key-binding to open

2757 Shift+Menu brings up the menu directly.
2761 Fixed compiling problem with some versions of libxml (Stephen Watson).
2762 Changed a text message in the Options box (about binding keys to menus) into
2763 a button which shows the message in an alert box. Maybe people will read the

2806 Added some more hints to pinboard and panel windows to comply with the new
2807 freedesktop.org window manger spec.

2812 (requested by Andreas Dehmel).
2816 When using the Set Run Action box, make the command default to the currently
2817 set command (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
2819 12-Jul-2001 (Release 1.1.6)
2821 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2825 Renamed 'New File' submenu to 'New' and moved 'New Directory' into it.
2829 Use the user's preferred font for item filenames, not the Gtk default

2864 of '<Choices>/Templates' (Stephen Watson).
2868 `Xterm here' command can contain arguments (Andras Mohari).

2870 submenu (suggested by André Wyrwa).
2874 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2875 Added a German translation (André Wyrwa).
2879 Added an extra option to control the resizing behaviour. Can be set to resize
2880 never, always, or only when the display style changes (requested by Andreas).
2882 07-Jun-2001 (Release 1.1.5)
2884 Updated Russian translation (Dmitry Elfimov).
2888 Unless compiling with mc's libvfs for virtual filesystem support, change the
2889 menu structure for use with the newer AVFS system.
2890 (http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs/) (José Romildo Malaquias).

2893 (reported by Dmitry Elfimov).

2927 icons, or just applications (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
2931 Converted the options window to a tabbed notebook (Denis Manente).
2935 Pressing the mouse button down on an icon no longer winks it; only releasing
2936 the button to run it does.
2937 Added 'Show Info' to panel/pinboard menu.
2938 The File Info box grabs the primary selection when a row is selected
2939 (allows you to paste email addresses, URLs, etc).
2943 Opening a pinboard or panel menu over an icon no longer selects it -- this
2944 allows the selection to be passed to an application run using its AppMenu
2945 (requested by Christopher Arndt).
2949 In Large Icons display style, a file's name may wrap onto a second line.
2953 Merged code for handling selections and menus that was common to pinboards

2978 Gtk styles can be overridden in <Choices>/ROX-Filer/Styles (suggested by
2980 Pinboards and panels should now work with IceWM without needing -o
2981 (Christopher Arndt).
2982 Allow text messages in the toolbar to go off the side (instead of resizing the
2987 Opening the shell minibuffer with a selection adds ' "$@' after the cursor.
2988 Without a selection, the name of the file under the cursor is added.
2992 Pressing the `\' key opens the menu (suggested by Christopher Arndt). Hold
2993 down Ctrl for the File submenu.
2997 Added a new 'About' section to AppInfo. Any elements in here are added
2998 into the info box. Added a 'Refresh' button to the info box.
2999 Added a ROX-Filer/Styles file for default colours (default filer background
3004 Rewrote the file info box. Looks a bit nicer, and it's easier to add extra

3014 displayed in a tooltip if the mouse is held over the item in a filer
3019 Filer now looks for AppInfo.xml before AppMenu. This is for future
3024 Automatic resizing of windows when changing directory is now optional
3025 (requested by Paul E. Johnson and Andreas Thorn).

3030 (suggested by Stephen Watson).
3034 Fix some typos and untranslated strings (Andras Mohari).
3038 Added a Russian translation (Dmitry Elfimov).
3042 Fixed a couple of errors in the man-page (spotted by Damien Couderc).
3046 Winking an item in a directory makes it flash twice instead of once (easier
3047 to see). Also, creating a new file or directory from the menu winks the new
3050 Bugfix: When a directory was rescanned because of a move operation,
3051 the `Set Icon...' settings didn't work (reported by Damien
3056 New display style 'Huge Icons' to make viewing thumbnails easier.
3057 Added a Hungarian translation (Andras Mohari).
3058 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3059 Double clicking on a filer window's background resizes the window (Denis
3064 If an item's name is truncated, show it in a tooltip when the pointer is
3065 held over the item (Denis Manente).
3067 30-Mar-2001 (Release 1.1.2)
3069 Asking for help on a directory always tries to open <dir>/Help first, even
3070 for non-applications.
3074 If run without -n, the filer will put itself in the background. Thus,
3075 the 'rox' command behaves the same whether or not the filer is already
3080 Support for the new version of libxml (reported by Andreas Dehmel).
3084 Rewrote parser for options. Smaller and neater (hopefully this will fix
3085 the bugs reported by Andreas Dehmel and Ewan Mac Mahon).
3087 Bugfix: While scanning, the resizer could make the window too large.
3091 Moving the cursor down in the next-to-last row will move to the last
3092 item if there is nothing under the cursor (suggested by Graham Borland).
3096 When changing directory, only make the window larger (if needed), never
3097 smaller (suggested by Diego Zamboni).
3101 Changing directory autosizes the window automatically (Denis Manente).
3102 Internal changes to the way different layouts are handled.
3106 Pressing space (to select/unselect an item) now also moves the cursor to
3107 the next item (suggested by Anders Lundmark).
3109 Copying directories tries to preserve the timestamps, like it does for
3110 files (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
3114 Added '--mime-type FILE' option, which simply writes the type of FILE to
3115 standard output (Stephen Watson).
3117 Added 'Home Directory' to Window menu (requested by Graham Borland).
3121 Copying a directory which doesn't have user write permission will give it
3122 user write during the copy to avoid permission denied errors (suggested by
3125 New sort option - 'Directories always come first' (requested by Liav Asseraf).
3129 Dragging a lasso box with the middle button toggles the selected state
3130 of the items enclosed (Denis Manente).
3134 Changing the display style now resizes the window (Denis Manente).
3138 New pinboards get a 'Home' icon in the top left corner as new users often
3139 think the pinboard isn't working because it starts empty (suggested by
3142 Converted AppMenu file format to XML.
3143 Added AppMenu file with options to control the pinboard.
3147 Highlight invalid Find expressions in red (Anders Lundmark).
3151 When resizing windows, try to keep the window fully inside the screen area
3156 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3160 When mounting a device, the new window appears after mounting, not before.
3161 This means that it's more likely to get sized correctly (requested by
3166 Added two new options to control when minibuffer completion beeps (requested
3171 Added 'New File...' feature (James Kermode).
3175 Dropping icons on the pinboard positions them sensibly (Diego Zamboni).
3177 09-Feb-2001 (Release 1.1.1)
3179 Moving pinboard icons is nicer - it no longer assumes you dragged the middle
3180 of the text... (Diego Zamboni).
3182 Added a Polish translation (Andrzej Borsuk).
3184 Bugfix: Sometimes it wasn't possible to delete something that was on a
3185 pinboard or panel, even after confirming (reported by Diego Zamboni).
3189 Sliders in the options box can have a numerical value display (Diego Zamboni).
3190 Fixed a stray warning message displayed when non-default pinboard options
3191 were used (Diego Zamboni).
3193 New menu item 'Set Icon...' allows you to choose any icon for any file or
3194 directory. Also allow .DirIcon.png to set a directory's icon (Diego Zamboni).
3198 Many internal changes to the Options system.
3202 Bugfix: On filesystems which aren't case sensitive (eg DOS) it was possible
3203 to copy 'tmp' as 'Tmp' and lose it! (reported by Denis Manente)
3207 Added Diego Zamboni's patch to make configuring VFS easier.
3211 Improved compiling - now correctly reports an error if the file doesn't
3212 compile. If configure is missing then autoconf is run automatically.
3214 After a Find completes, you are given the option of doing the search again
3217 Applications can define a list of menu items to display on their menus
3218 (Diego Zamboni). The file should be called 'AppMenu' and contains a list of
3219 lines in the form 'option Text'.
3223 Added two new pinboard options - one to allow setting the grid step size
3224 and one to allow icons to go slightly off the side of the screen (Diego
3229 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds could cause a crash (reported by Diego
3234 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3236 Bugfix: The pixbuf stuff didn't work on some displays (reported by Stephen
3239 20-Jan-2001 (Release 1.1.0)
3241 Removed the 'Initial window height' option. The filer tries to pick a
3242 sensible shape itself now.
3244 Bugfix: If an image was moved to a directory which didn't generate thumbs
3245 then it would display, but never be updated. Even if it wasn't that
3246 file at all, just a reused inode!
3247 Bugfix: Changing the display style didn't always redraw the display.
3248 Bugfix: In 'Small, With...' display mode, clicking beyond the far right
3249 column acted like clicking on the far-right column.
3253 Changed background colour to be more compatible with the Gtk themes system.
3257 Removed all the message window stuff. ROX-Filer no longer grabs standard
3258 error from its child processes. Changed because ROX-Session now does a much
3263 Filer is more generous in what hostnames it considers local.
3264 Patch to include pixbuf headers correctly (Diego Zamboni).
3268 Bug fix: Didn't always use the fully qualified host name for DnD.
3272 If a file has a known extension then it is given the appropriate type even
3273 if the file is executable (Simon Britnell).
3277 Added a menu entry 'Resize Window' to set the window to a sensible size
3282 Try to open new windows at a sensible size for their contents (Denis Manente).
3286 Bugfix: When mounting or unmounting subdirectories of '/', the mount symbol
3287 wasn't updated (reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3291 Fixed a couple of memory leaks in the choices system (Diego Zamboni).
3292 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3293 Added new 'Create Thumbs' entry on the Display menu which tries to load
3294 every file in the directory as an image and use that image for the file
3295 (suggested by Sprague and Simon Britnell).
3299 Converted to use gdk-pixbuf instead of ImLib.
3300 Fixed a few compiler warnings and improved the error message displayed
3301 if you try to invoke rox on a missing file (reported by Vincent Lefèvre).
3302 Changed the -w, -W and -i flags to the simpler -x=FILE, which reexamines the
3303 given file, updating directory views and icons as needed.
3307 AppIcon.xpm must be a regular file (stops people trying to crash the
3308 filer by symlinking to /dev/...).
3309 Fixed a missing translation in the pinboard options (Denis Manente).
3313 Attempting to run the filer before compiling will now ask if you want
3315 Removed lots of platform-specific mount point code and replaced it with
3316 python's portable system.
3317 New options section allows you to choose a translation without having to
3318 set the LANG variable.
3322 Added '-w', '-i' and '-W' command line options for forcing icons or
3323 directories to be rescanned (Diego Zamboni).
3325 13-Dec-2000 (Release 1.0.0)
3327 Made a few updates to the manual.
3331 Fixes to make compiling easier on Solaris (Diego Zamboni). Also, after showing
3332 a pinboard icon, tries to send it to the back (might help with some WMs).
3334 04-Dec-2000 (Release 0.1.30)
3336 When a panel is used for the first time, put the user's home directory and
3337 the directory containing ROX-Filer on it instead of leaving it blank.
3341 Patch to make compiling easier under FreeBSD (Jimmy Olgeni).
3342 Added a #include for OSF1 (Vincent Lefevre).
3346 Bugfix: On many systems, the filer would fail to remove zombie processes
3347 due to a typo (spotted by Philip Hazel and tracked down by Stephen
3352 Bugfix: Removing an item from the panel now resizes the panel (reported
3353 by Wilbert Berendsen).
3354 Bugfix: Editing an icon's path failed to update its hash entry.
3358 If a case-sensitve match for an extension can't be found then try a
3359 case-insensitive match - so .BMP and similar work (Denis Manente).
3363 A few changes to remove some compiler warnings (reported by Vincent Lefevre).
3364 Added a VFS menu entry for .deb files (Vincent Ledda).
3368 Mounting or unmounting a directory forces mtab to be reread, even if the
3369 timestamp hasn't changed (problem reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3371 When the 'Unique windows' option is on, remove the old window AFTER creating
3372 the new one, so that the filer doesn't quit because there are zero windows
3373 open... (Denis Manente).
3377 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3381 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3383 Using --version and --help options no longer requires an X server connection,
3384 the man-pages are more standard, and 'man ROX-Filer' is allowed as well as
3385 'man rox' (Bernard Jungen).
3387 Bugfix: A corrupted AppIcon.xpm could crash the filer.
3389 24-Oct-2000 (Release 0.1.29)
3391 Code tidying: Replaced an XLib call with a gdk one (Denis Manente) and amended
3392 the makedist script to remove the .cvsignore files (spotted by Andy
3397 Improved the install script so that it installs the man-page. Also made it
3398 easier to use. Updated the French translation and fixed a couple of
3399 typos (Vincent Lefèvre).
3403 Gtk+ doesn't always scroll entry widgets to show the selection - apply a
3404 workaround (Denis Manente) - this improves the Copy/Rename/etc boxes.
3408 Added a Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3412 Added an Italian translation (Denis Manente).
3416 Bugfix: If AppRun was a symlink, then the owner of the file was checked, not
3417 the owner of the symlink. Slight security risk, and also prevented
3418 users symlinking AppRun to their binaries...
3422 Bugfix: Deleting a pinboard icon while it was highlighted caused a crash.
3423 This means it is now possible to click on a pinboard icon to change
3424 between pinboards...
3426 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds didn't redraw correctly when scrolled
3427 or resized. Now flickers when resizing if there's a textured
3428 background - seems to be necessary :-(
3432 Running as root now simply turns on the -u flag, rather than displaying
3435 The toolbar height is now correctly taken into account when sizing a new filer
3436 window (Denis Manente).
3438 When guessing file types from extensions, the filer now tries to find the
3439 longest extension that matches (eg .ps.gz, then .gz).
3443 The lasso box is now drawn so that the box will be in the foreground colour
3444 over the background, rather than by just inverting the pixel value and hoping
3445 it's visible (spotted by Philip Hazel).
3449 If the home directory is '/' then don't show it as '~' (suggested by
3452 Added '--show=FILE' option - this will be needed by other ROX
3453 applications, so it needs to be in version 1.0.0.
3455 Bugfix: -d option didn't use realpath before sending to an already-running
3460 The 'install.sh' script now uses 'printf' instead of 'echo -e' to suppress
3461 newlines (suggested by Bernard Jungen).
3463 Bugfix: Close tool was always disabled on startup (reported by Martin Ward).
3467 Added a man-page (Andy Piper).
3468 Changed `install.sh' from bash to sh (Bernard Jungen).
3470 18-Sep-2000 (Release 0.1.28)
3472 Bugfix: menu entries on the pinboard menu weren't being shaded and
3477 Changed 'Rename Item' to 'Edit Icon' and allowed changing the path that
3478 the icon points to as well as its name.
3480 All i?86 platforms are treated as being equivalent (so, if you compile
3481 on a 386 then it'll still run on a 486).
3485 Pinboard icons can also be renamed.
3486 Pinboard and panel icons can have '~' or '~/' at the start of their
3487 pathnames - this should make it easier to create a system-wide default
3488 panel or pinboard with icons relative to the user's home directory.
3492 Panel icons can now be renamed (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3496 Changing the toolbar options affects existing windows, not just new ones.
3497 Removed the 'Size Bars' display style and replaced it with 'Permissions',
3498 'Type' and 'Times' styles.
3502 With items that spread over their normal width because they're on the
3503 edge of the window, clicking on the extra bit now works.
3505 Added a size limit of 400K on application icons. This is to prevent
3506 someone trying to crash the filer by linking /tmp/MyApp/AppIcon.xpm
3509 Dragging an item with the middle button when none are selected unselects
3510 the item after the drag.
3512 Added 'Show Location' feature for pinboard and panels - opens a directory
3513 showing where the file really is.
3517 Allowed items in the far right column to spread right to the edge of the
3518 window. Fixed a bug which prevented Delete from working if there was
3523 Deleting items first checks if it will affect the pinboard or panel. A
3524 warning is displayed if so.
3526 Upgraded the query dialog (from ROX-Session) - looks nicer.
3530 'Unique filer windows' option now has no effect while the spring open
3531 feature is active (spotted by Andrew Booker). Also, when opening a new
3532 window, the old window is destroyed and a new one created (rather than
3533 reusing the old one). This ensures that the new window appears in the
3536 When a drag from the pinboard or a filer window ends, the selection is
3537 only cleared if the icon was selected by starting the drag. Thus, it now
3538 works like the panels.
3542 New Close toolbar button (requested by Martin Ward).
3543 Toolbar icons can be turned on and off from the Options box.
3544 Removed the 'Mount' menu entry, since 'Shift Open' does it too.
3545 Made the Shift Open menu text change depending on what is selected.
3546 Bugfix: dragging icons around no longer saved the new pinboard state!
3550 Running a second copy of the filer as another user will start a new copy
3551 instead of reusing the existing one. Added the '-u' option to display the
3552 name of the user running the filer in each window (also suppresses the
3553 normal don't-run-as-root warning).
3555 Added '-d', which opens a directory as a directory, even if it looks like
3560 Added Large and Small toolbar buttons. Right-clicking brings up a menu.
3564 Moved 'Set Run Action' to the file menu (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon), and
3565 made using it bring up a dialog rather than a minibuffer. Hopefully it is now
3568 Added much improved icons for executables and for applications without icons
3569 of their own (Victor Liu See-le).
3571 Allow '/' on the pinboard and panel (text wasn't displayed - spotted by
3574 Bugfix: auto-scrolling didn't always stop when a drag ended.
3575 Bugfix: creating a panel with the same name as a file in the current
3576 directory caused an error due to a throwback from when panels were
3577 directories (spotted by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3579 30-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.27)
3581 Increased the distance you have to move the pointer to start a drag
3582 slightly. Updated the manual.
3584 Panel icons can now be moved from one side to the other by simply moving
3585 over the gap in the middle. Previously, you had to jump over an icon on
3588 Left and right panels look better now. Also, they shrink if you add a top
3589 or bottom panel to make room.
3593 Dragging on the panel background allows you to slide the bar back and
3598 Fixed a slight bug with lasso boxes, which could cause them to be drawn in
3599 the wrong place. Install script no longer overwrites the default run
3600 actions; if the user has changed them leave them alone!
3601 (Martin Ward noted that symlinking to an executable would cause the
3602 executable to be destroyed on upgrade!)
3606 More improvements to the event handling. Seems to be working again at
3608 Made the toolbar buttons slightly larger, and added a textual display
3609 for 'Next Click' mode (eg 'Delete ... ?' when it's waiting for you to
3611 Moved the pinboard over to the new mouse binding code too.
3615 Started rewriting the event handling for filer windows to go through
3616 the new code in bind.c, like the panel handling does.
3620 You can now drag icons from the panel to other applications.
3624 Dragging panel icons with the middle button allows you to move them around.
3626 New option to set the default height for new filer windows (patch from
3631 Selecting panel icons now grabs the primary selection. Pasting pastes all
3632 selected file path names. Icons can now be added to either side of the panel.
3634 Bug fix: Moving a file didn't always update the source directory.
3638 Many improvements to the panel - drag and drop to icons, adding new icons,
3639 selections (doesn't grab the primary selection yet though), removing icons
3640 and automatically saving the panel when it's changed.
3644 Improved reference counting on images (hopefully!). Lots of work on
3645 rewriting the panel system.
3649 Made the timeout for the spring-open feature configurable (requested by
3652 Use short form of --version in install.sh and don't use unsetenv() if it
3653 isn't available (Mattias Engdegård).
3657 New options to set the pinboard text foreground and background colours
3658 (suggested by James Kermode).
3662 Your home directory is now displayed as '~' in the title bar, rather
3663 than as a full path.
3665 01-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.26)
3667 Added a popup menu of commonly used chmod strings to the Permissions
3668 box. Bracketed text and spaces are now ignored in the commands.
3669 Bug fix: Only menu keys changed since the last load were saved!
3673 Bug fix: Mount points on the pinboard didn't always redraw when the
3674 mounted/unmounted state changed.
3678 Renaming now uses the action windows. This means that you can now
3679 rename something onto another filesystem.
3683 The menu key bindings are now only saved if they actually changed.
3685 Code tidying: Moved some typedefs to the new `global.h' file and
3686 thus removed the dependencies between header files :-)
3690 Tab and Shift-Tab move to next and previous selected item.
3694 The new display styles can now be saved as the defaults (bug spotted by
3697 When autoscrolling is used, prevent the last-highlighted directory
3698 from springing open. 'spring open' now defaults to off.
3700 The toolbar Up and Home buttons can act as drop targets (and spring open
3703 Options to set the pinboard text background style (suggested by James
3708 Added an option to control the spring-loading feature. Added tooltips
3709 to some of the options. Improved the rule for deciding whether to open
3710 a new window when you click on the toolbar buttons.
3712 Stopped the spring-open window moving while it's open (prevents a bug
3713 in GTK+ from causing problems). Please use GTK+ 1.2.8 or later now!
3715 Dragging near the edge of a window scrolls. Improved the lasso box drag
3716 to use the same system (so it scrolls without you having to move the
3721 Added 'spring-loaded' directories. If you drag a file over a directory and
3722 hold it there, the directory will spring open! (suggested by Barney
3727 In the path entry minibuffer, an exact match is favoured over any other
3728 match. So, if you enter '.xsession' and press Return you'll get it, not
3729 '.xsession-errors' or whatever!
3731 The filer now clears APP_DIR from the environment so that child processes
3732 don't get it. Fixed a bug which caused problems when using a small version
3733 of the 'missing image' image.
3737 Creating a new directory now makes sure the display is updated.
3739 18-Jul-2000 (Release 0.1.25)
3741 Prevent dragging from a pinboard selection to itself, or onto the desktop
3746 Clicking on the root window works (button-1 clears the selection,
3747 button-3 opens the pinboard menu). The pinboard can own the primary
3748 selection, which means that you can select something and then paste
3749 its name into another program.
3751 Keys bound to menu entries are automatically saved when the filer quits.
3755 Changed the install script so that the CVS directories don't get installed.
3757 The 'rox' script now just calls AppRun directly.
3758 Panels can be created without starting a new copy of the filer.
3759 The pinboard can be changed or removed by using --pinboard a second time.
3761 Files can be given as arguments - they are opened as if they were clicked
3762 on in a filer window (suggested by Alex Holden). If no arguments are
3763 given then the default is now the current directory (not your home
3766 If you start the leafname in the path minibuffer with '.' then the Show
3767 Hidden feature is temporarily turned on.
3771 Ctrl-clicking selects and unselects pinboard icons. Menu clicking
3772 selects the icon clicked on while the menu is open. Pinned icons are
3773 now updated when the pointer moves over them, if necessary.
3777 Menu-clicking on a pinboard icon now brings up a menu.
3778 Clicks on the root window are still ignored though; need to support
3779 the GNOME-compliant window manager system for passing root clicks on...
3783 Files can now be dragged to pinboard icons, and they highlight nicely too!
3784 If the --override option is used, the filer will bypass the window manager
3785 and position the icons directly.
3789 Pinboard icons can now be dragged to filer windows or applications, just
3794 Changed the DnD code to make it easier for the pinboard code to use it.
3795 Up and Home buttons on the toolbar now use the 'New window on button 1'
3796 option setting (suggested by Vincent Lefèvre).
3800 Pinboard can have mount points and symlinks on it.
3804 Dragging with the Menu button moves icons around. Clicking with the
3805 other button removes icons from the pinboard.
3809 Dragging files to the pinboard adds them to it and automatically saves
3814 Pinboard is now loaded from a file specified on the command line.
3818 'Home' now appears on the background if you run it with --pinboard.
3819 Clicking opens your home directory. Doesn't do much else.
3820 Fixed a bug which prevented the minibuffer label from appearing on
3821 some versions of GTK+.
3825 First steps towards pinboard support (requested by P.S.S.Camp and
3830 Changed the Display menu layout - now there are four basic types (Large or
3831 Small, with or without details) and the type of detail desired is chosen
3832 from a sub-sub-menu.
3834 Added a new display style - bars showing the sizes of the files. The bars are
3835 drawn on a log scale.
3839 Changed the display menu - you can now choose large or small icons, with or
3840 without details. The details displayed can also be changed. I'm not quite
3841 happy with the UI yet though...
3843 Split the filer.c source file into two (filer.c and display.c) since it was
3844 becoming rather unwieldy. This means that some of the option names have
3845 changed because they've moved to a new section in the options window...
3849 Fixed a problem where ImLib support failed on multi-depth displays (reported
3850 by Stephen Harrison).
3852 06-Jun-2000 (Release 0.1.24)
3854 Added the install.sh script for easier installation.
3855 Removed 'MIME-info' file from ROX-Filer - now we always assume that the
3856 standard types are in Choices.
3857 Fixed a bug which could cause 'top' panels to appear in the wrong place
3859 Changed the sort order for Sort By Type so that directories come before
3860 files (suggested by Chris Garrett).
3861 `Single-click navigation' and 'Ignore case when sorting' now both default
3866 Improved the theme support to allow tiled background images.
3867 Fixed a bug which prevented tilde expansion from working in the
3868 shell command minibuffer.
3872 Made the help button look a bit nicer and changed the Find and Permissions
3873 action windows to use the icon instead of a text button.
3874 Removed the 3D borders from the help and toolbar buttons when not selected
3875 (looks much better!). Setting a run action by dragging to a symlink now
3876 dereferences the link (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3878 Default search path for Choices is now:
3879 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
3881 Fixed (possibly) a bug which sometimes causes the redraw to miss bits. This
3882 probably slows everything down, but the next Gtk+ release should do double
3883 buffering so all this will get changed then...
3887 Added a Help icon to the toolbar, which does the same as choosing `Show
3888 ROX-Filer Help' from the menu.
3892 Started adding some code to truncate long filenames (not finished yet).
3893 Fixed a bug which could cause directories to appear empty when using VFS.
3894 Added the 'Select If' minibuffer, which selects all files matching the
3899 Moved most of the icons from pixmaps to MIME-icons (outside ROX-Filer).
3900 Updated several of the remaining icons by copying them from the GNOME
3901 desktop (suggested by Volker Braun).
3904 16-May-2000 (Release 0.1.23)
3906 Added the `Window->Set Run Action' menu item. This allows you to specify the
3907 default run action for a file by simply dragging the file into a program.
3908 You can also enter a shell command in the minibuffer to make that command
3910 The cursor is a bit nicer and usually appears where you want it to now. You
3911 can also get rid of it by pressing Escape.
3915 Applied Bernard's patch (a couple of cosmetic changes to the action windows).
3916 Applied Vincent's patch (minor updates to the Frech translation).
3917 Fixed a problem with the pixmap caching - the filer would detect that the
3918 file had changed and try to reload it, but ImLib would simply return its
3923 Removed a debugging message that had somehow got into the release version :-(
3924 Fixed a bug in the minibuffer code - pressing Return when the cursor was in
3925 an empty directory caused odd effects.
3927 24-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.22)
3929 When starting, the filer will check to see if it is already running.
3930 If it is then the arguments are passed to that copy.
3934 Bug fix: Attempting to open a Find preview window could cause a crash
3935 if the directory containing the item could not be opened.
3936 Button-3 clicking on the toolbar icons opens a new window.
3941 Added Vincent Lefevre's French translation. Changed to using my own
3942 gettext function because some platforms don't have it or implement
3945 18-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.21)
3947 Completed marking translatable strings. Dragging with the middle button
3952 Made lots of changes to the way menus are stored; this makes i18n of the
3957 Added GNU gettext support.
3958 Shell meta-characters in shell commands are escaped.
3962 Tab in the shell commands minibuffer does shell-style completion.
3964 14-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.20)
3966 ImLib is used for rendering if possible. Small Icons super-samples the
3971 Copying from inside a VFS directory now works.
3975 Added the Shell Command feature to the minibuffer.
3976 Fixed a bug which causes unnecessary flickering when a hidden file was
3978 Removed 'Touch' from the menu; easy enough from the minibuffer now.
3979 Changed the type guessing system - scans all files in MIME-info directories
3984 Added a nice list displaying the found files. Clicking opens a preview window
3985 onto the directory and winks the file.
3989 Merged the MIME-Type and Special fields in the info window into a single
3990 Type field (since only one could be used at a time anyway).
3991 Made lots of changes to the panel menu. You can now remove things much more
3993 Unstat()able files now display the error message in the Full Info display,
3994 instead of random values.
3995 Check for copying a directory onto itself, as well as into itself.
3997 Applied Bernard's patch:
3998 - Copy (menu entry) now works with action window.
3999 - Deleted/moved directory displays are automatically hidden.
4000 - Added option not to allow run/copy when object
4001 dragged to filer (not panels) icons. Some people like
4002 it the RISC OS way...
4003 - Full info alignment of App objects and owner/group
4004 alignment corrected.
4005 - Info window: added special info for symlinks, apps
4010 Added support for mc's Virtual File System.
4014 New Window appears greyed out if Unique Windows is selected.
4015 Added 'Permissions' (chmod) feature.
4019 Added Bernard Jungen's patch:
4020 - Dates are displayed in a more RISC OS like format.
4021 - (Scanning) is shown in the titlebar during scans.
4022 - Option to only display one window per directory.
4023 - User and group names displayed in the Full Info view.
4024 - Open Parent in the root does nothing.
4025 - Errors in options are only reported once.
4026 - File does chdir() if -b isn't possible (prevents getting the full path
4027 in the file(1) says... box).
