2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
7 Better extended attribute detection under Solaris (Stephen Watson).
11 More extended attribute support. The "Set Type..." menu item should be
12 disabled if not supported by the system or FS (Stephen Watson).
16 Method of scaling pinboard images is now an option, as the default could
17 produce poor results on some systems (Stephen Watson).
21 Updated it.po and Manual-it.xml (Yuri Bongiorno)
25 Bugfix: Dragging a lasso box above the top of the window in details mode
26 selected all the items outside the box (Thomas Leonard; reported by
31 Only show executable files in green if clicking would actually run them, not
32 just because they have the execute bit set (Thomas Leonard).
36 Much faster thumbnail generation (Ken Hayber, reported by Anthony DiSante).
40 When closing a filer window showing a directory under a user-mounted
41 mount-point, offer to unmount the device if no other filer window also shows
42 that mount point (requested by Tony Houghton and others). Also do this check
43 when changing to a parent directory.
44 Scale iconified window icons on the pinboard down to normal size (Ken Hayber).
48 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
52 Work on the action box, including a progress bar (Stephen Watson).
56 Added PinboardRemove() SOAP call (Stephen Watson).
58 20-Oct-2004 (Release 2.1.4)

72 Updated it.po and Manual-it (Yuri Bongiorno).
76 Use a higher quality setting when scaling the backdrop image (Ken Hayber).
80 Added PanelRemove() SOAP call (Sabin Iacob).
81 Bugfix: Mounting a directory that was accessed through a symlinked directory
82 used the symbolic path, confusing the mount command (Thomas Leonard;
83 reported by Anthony DiSante).
87 Force panel to not take focus when using GTK 2.4 (Thomas Leonard).
91 Minimum width of toolbar now an option (requested by Matthew Weier O'Phinney).
95 Only examine items that are actually displayed, not all items in a directory.
96 Saves checking hidden files, which typically speeds up opening the home
97 directory. Removed an unnecessary extra scan when opening a directory
98 with the default filter setting. Removed the double scan when clicking Refresh
99 and two windows show the same directory (Thomas Leonard).
103 Added option to make panels have the type _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK (Tony
104 Houghton). Metacity needs this.
108 If we can't guess a file's type from its name or extended attribute, try
109 looking at its contents too, if we have gnomevfs 2.8.0 or later available
114 Panel and pinboard icons can now have a single argument set for them.
115 If you need more than one argument, consider creating a wrapper
120 Added --massif option for profiling memory usage (Thomas Leonard).
121 Warn about missing libsm in configure.in (reported by fedewico).
125 When resizing a window, only warp the pointer as much as necessary to keep
126 it inside the window (Thomas Leonard).
130 Ensure that a panel applet's properties are set before starting the applet
131 (reported by Tony Houghton).
135 Fixed panel menu positioning for multiple monitors with different resolutions
137 Use _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW to raise and lower the panel (Tony Houghton). Not
138 changing to type DOCK yet as it breaks some WMs.
142 Use new GTK 2.2 functions to set window hints now that we don't support 2.0
143 anymore (Guido Schimmels).
147 Plug a memory leak when loading SVG type icons (Stephen Watson).
151 Fix for the Solaris extended attribute support (Stephen Watson).
155 Set minimum width of toolbar so that all buttons are visible (Stephen Watson).
159 When adding an entry to the Recently Visited menu, remove its parent directory.
160 This stops the list filling up with near-duplicates when you have deeply
161 nested directories (Thomas Leonard).
165 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
169 For debugging, show the failed URI when dragging to the pinboard (Thomas
174 Use Help icon instead of Info icon for popup help buttons (Thomas Leonard).
178 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
180 01-Aug-2004 (Release 2.1.3)
182 Build in ROX-Filer/build, not ~/build/ROX-Filer.
186 Renamed Cancel to Close in the Properties box (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
187 Updated some calls to use newer APIs, and allow compilation on systems where
188 deprecated widgets are disabled by default (reported by Vincent Lefèvre and
190 Bugfix: Panel icons were no longer shown highlighted when selected.
194 Bugfix: When opening a new directory with saved settings, the filer would
195 print a warning and then crash.
199 Changed email address given as the one to send bugs to when using
200 --help to the rox-devel list (Stephen Watson).
201 Thumbnail generation now handles files with UTF-8 characters (Anatoly

210 Proper check for the stat[v]fs headers (Stephen Watson, reported by
215 Added firefox to list of default browsers (suggested by eugene).
219 Added Romanian translation (Cosma Florin).
223 Can now set "Brief" option on the Copy and Move action windows (Stephen
225 Properties window handles mount points specially when calculating their size
230 Bugfix: On Linux, the filer called setxattr instead of getxattr, thus
231 preventing setting filetypes with extended attributes from working.
232 Bugfix: Copy and Move now obey the "Brief" option (Stephen Watson, reported
237 Bugfix: On multi-monitor setups, filer windows always opened on the top/left
238 monitor (reported by Kacper Wysocki). Now they open on the monitor
243 Icons of minimized windows remember their positions on the pinboard (Stephen
245 Filer now officially requires GTK 2.2.0 or later (wasn't working with 2.0
246 anyway, and noone had complained).
247 Bugfix: A race in the code for updating iconified window titles could cause
248 the filer to crash with a BadWindow error.
252 Another Properties window fix: if there is no output from the du command
253 then put a message indicating an error (Stephen Watson).
254 Can now compile without Xinerama support on GTK+ < 2.2.0 (Tony Houghton).
258 Let the panel autoscroll during a drag (Stephen Watson).
262 Fix another bug when closing Properties window before it has finished
263 scanning the directory (Stephen Watson).
267 Improved Xinerama support: now works for tooltips and action windows; filer
268 windows are no longer prone to leaving their borders overlapping; panel uses
269 _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL so it only affects the monitor it's on (Tony Houghton).
273 Make ignoring executable files with known extensions the default setting
274 (suggested by Daniel Poersch). Freedesktop.org is discussing a plan to mark
275 individual MIME types as executable, which may be a better long-term
277 Option to prevent maximising windows from covering the panels (requested
278 by Simon Templer and others).
282 Type specific Send To entries now shown for multiple files when they
283 are all of the same type (Stephen Watson).
284 Can now drag icons to the very end of the panel (Stephen Watson).
288 Another place to look for apsymbols.h (Stephen Watson).
292 More fixes for the new build system (Stephen Watson).
296 Fix portability of new build system and ensure configure can find the
297 version number again (Stephen Watson).
301 Build object files in ~/build/ROX-Filer, in case source directory is read-only.
302 This also reduces the risk of distributing the object files by accident.
306 Don't allow toolbar buttons to focus (needed for GTK 2.4).
310 Fix loss of bookmark name when re-ordering (Rahsheen Porter).
311 Removed installation of thumbnail handlers via the Set Icon dialog. It was
312 never documented and all the thumbnailers use the mime_handler installation
313 anyway (Stephen Watson).
317 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
321 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
325 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
327 30-Apr-2004 (Release 2.1.2)
329 Removed toolbar hint type from panel. It caused too many problems.
333 Added 'Download handler' to drag and drop options. This program is invoked
334 when a URI is dragged to the filer (eg, from a web-browser). The default
335 command runs wget to download the file (Andrew Flegg).
339 Bugfix: URIs received through drag-and-drop were unescaped twice, causing
340 problems with names containing the '%' character (spotted by Jonatan
345 Cope with spaces in ROX-Filer's path.
346 Added a load of default keys, since many GTK setups now make it almost
347 impossible to change shortcuts.
348 Added --leaks option to run ROX-Filer through valgrind with the memory
349 leak option checking on (Stephen Watson).
353 Added Xinerama support (Tony Houghton).
354 Set window type hint = toolbar for panel to prevent it appearing in pagers etc
359 Added method of saving display settings for directories. Mostly working,
360 but bugs remain related to size and position (Stephen Watson).
361 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
365 Load extended attribute functions dynamically. This should mean that compiling
366 ROX-Filer with a new glibc won't make it stop working with older versions due
367 to the functions being missing.
371 Use * as a synonym for unfiltered (Stephen Watson).
375 Bookmarks can be given titles (Stephen Watson).
379 Fix memory leak in thumbnails code (Stephen Watson).
383 Fixed bug in details mode for showing hidden files (Stephen Watson).
387 Don't display an error box when installing the ROX icon theme. It just
388 worries people for no reason.
392 Updated Chinese translation (Babyfai Cheung).
396 Option to make the File menu appear directly when the menu is opened with
397 files selected (Peter Geer).
401 Added an arrow to the comparison area of the action box so you can see
402 which file overwrites the other (Stephen Watson).
406 Sort by user/group now uses the name, not the number (Stephen Watson).
410 Added 'Select by Name'.
414 Cope with XRandR screen resizing (Geoff Youngs and Tom Morton).
418 Can now filter files by name, using normal shell (glob) patterns (Stephen

440 Misc changes for next release.
444 Accept Mozilla's alternative to the standard text/uri-list target during
445 drag-and-drop (Andrew Flegg).
449 Bugfix: Icon shortcuts with out modifier keys didn't work if NumLock,
450 CapsLock, etc were turned on (reported by Peter Geer).
451 Bugfix: Handle case when the output of uname -m contains spaces (Stephen
452 Watson, reported on #rox).
456 Renamed some functions stolen from Gtk to avoid possible conflicts with
457 the Gtk-2.3 series (reported by Stu Tissimus).
461 Make the Ctrl-button-3 menu pointer appear at the same place regardless
462 of the number of custom entries (Stephen Watson).
466 Make Ctrl-button-3 open the menu slightly higher, so Delete isn't under the
467 pointer (suggested by Ryan Pavlik).
471 Allow non image/* thumbnails in details mode. Label next to the combo
472 in the Set Type action dialog is now "Type" and not "Command" (Stephen
477 Work out which include file we need for getxattr (Stephen Watson).
481 Allow editing a symlink's target from the Properties box (suggested by Arnaud
483 Experimental extended attributes support for setting MIME types (Stephen

492 Added 'Specify the prefix' install option (Ryan Pavlik).
493 Updated Russian translation (Vladimir Popov).
497 Bugfix: Cancelling the info window with a du process still running could
498 crash the filer (reported by Peter Geer).
502 Renamed 'Info' menu item to 'Properties'.
506 If a panel icon has an empty label, show it full size (requested by Stephen
511 Use apsymbols.h (from autopackage.org) if possible for binary compatibility
512 with older glibc versions. Use g_ascii_* functions instead of the ctypes ones
514 Bugfix: Files with '&' in their names couldn't be saved in groups (reported
515 by Nils-Erik Svangård).
519 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
520 Resizing by double clicking on background now optional (Stephen Watson).
524 Added optional top and bottom margines for iconized window placement
529 Don't lower the panel due when the pointer 'leaves' due to a grab (eg, clicking
530 or opening a menu). This also prevents a flickering problem with Openbox 3.
534 Bugfix: FreeBSD reported file sizes with units of 'null' due to large file
535 support not being detected (igla).
539 Larger default size for bookmarks editor (requested by Matthew Weier OPhinney).
543 Let the thumbnail helpers be app dirs, plus can be set from the Set Icon
544 dialog (Stephen Watson).
548 Improved socket icon (taken from Howard Shane's new theme).
552 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
553 Updated German translation (Guido Schimmels).
554 Offer Eject even for unmounted disks (reported by Matthew Weier O'Phinney).

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

600 Implementation of Format, just as a user-defined command. Also mount
601 point menu items reflect mounted/not mounted status (Stephen Watson).
605 Implementation of Free Space (Stephen Watson). OpenDir SOAP message now
606 takes an optional Window element. Pass the same Window to re-use the window.
610 Allow ejecting mounted media.
614 Don't create a corrupted pinboard/panel file if a non-UTF8 pathname is
615 dragged to it (reported by Eugeni Andreechtchev).
616 Get file icons using freedesktop.org icon theme system.
620 Added Czech translation (Jan Provaznik).
624 Help, Format, Eject and Free Space now appear in the AppMenu section of the
625 menu. Help is only shown for applications, and the others only for mount
630 Added ability to call external programs to generate thumbnails for types
631 other than image/* (Stephen Watson).
635 If a string can't be converted from the local character set to UTF-8,
636 fallback to converting from iso-8859-1.

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

691 (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
695 Sort items on the SendTo menu (requested by John Pettigrew).
699 Removed the menu-on-button-2 option. It was too inconsistant with everything
700 else, including panel applets and window managers, to be useful. Edit bind.c if

706 forward them explicitly.

797 Also install man pages under 'share/man'.

804 Forward scroll events on pinboard to window manager, and add option to

970 option (reported by Laurent Moussault).
971 Allow changing the pinboard style without having to drag the image back in
972 (requested by Jesse Wagner).

975 talent can do something better?
976 Double-buffer small pinboard updates.
977 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
981 Option to turn off column headings in List View (Adam Sampson).
982 Panel auto-raising also works during drag-and-drop.

2136 conversion fails (Stephen Watson).
2138 Deleting a symlink to a pinboard or panel icon showed a warning, even though
2139 there was no danger, because it followed the symlink. Trying to copy a symlink
2140 inside the directory it pointed to failed for the same reason.
2144 Big changes to internationalisation for pinboards and panels to fix problems
2145 with incompatible character sets (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
2146 When creating thumbnails, create to a temporary file and rename in case another
2147 program tries to write the save thumbnail at the same time.

2149 installing without an X server (requested by Michael Duelli).
2153 Converter for old-format config files now stops if the file looks like
2154 XML (probably from a failed conversion).

2280 With Gtk+-2.0 UTF-8 converstion, the filer now converts from the charset
2281 specified in the translation (was always using iso-8859-1).

2293 Got details working again with Gtk+-1.2 (spotted by Kristian Rink).
2297 New thumbnail system. 'Create Thumbs' is now 'Show Thumbnails' and can

2304 Improved error reporting.
2305 Improved sizing code when details are on.

2338 Target mode, dragging an unselected item, and auto-selecting an item when
2339 opening the menu now all work without grabbing the primary selection.

2345 now reclaims the selection.
2346 Removed default minibuffer option for now.
2347 The dash forms in Find tests can be combined, eg '-rwx'.

2353 icons are marked as desktop features (requested by Laurent Moussault).
2354 Thumbnails are now stored using an md5 hash of their names.
2355 Pinboard icons can be repositioned by dragging with the left mouse button
2356 (middle button drag stopped working with sawfish, and this is easier anyway).
2360 New scanning system: blank items are added to the window first and then the
2361 icons and types get filled in later. Looks better and simplifies the sizing
2363 Code tidying in various places.
2367 Bugfix: Filer would quit if only Info boxes were open.
2368 Bugfix: Pinboard and panel windows didn't get the correct hints set under

2398 it was in the displayed area before.

2403 When using --show with a hidden file, turn on Show Hidden. Also, delay the
2404 winking effect until the window actually appears.

2410 Kristian A. Rink and others).

2413 selection (Andras Mohari).
2417 Use gtk_set_locale instead of setlocale (Andras Mohari).

2425 Added a new root window property (_ROX_FILER_EUID_HOST) which points to
2426 the SOAP IPC window for a particular hostname and user ID. This makes it
2427 easier for other programs to talk to the filer.

2435 Moved 'Select All', 'Clear Selection' and 'Select If...' to a new 'Select'

2439 the console (Olivier Fourdan).
2443 Manpage is now generated automatically from DocBook source.
2444 Short forms for many find expressions, such as -d for IsDir (suggested by

2492 width or height of zero (Andras Mohari).

2505 (requested by Graham Borland).
2506 Added 'Types' section to the Options window, allowing easy(ish) access
2507 to the MIME-info files, plus a reload button, and icons for MIME-types can

2521 - Disk usage forgot to count special files like pipes, etc.
2522 - Page up/down scrolls a window full at a time instead of 10 items.
2523 - Don't get icons from the cache if thumbnail mode is off anymore.
2524 - modechange.c: deleted useless stuff and fixed octal parsing to detect
2525 *all* illegal values (eg 010000000000000).
2526 - Added 'Show/hide hidden files' toolbar button.
2527 - Lots of code tidying.

2561 option to access it directly.
2565 Open new windows at the mouse position (suggested by Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson).
2566 Bugfix: If file doesn't accept the '-b' option then examining a file in
2567 the root directory didn't work (Stephen Watson).
2571 Use --version instead of 'which' to test for programs as not everyone has
2572 which (suggested by Vincent Lefevre).
2573 Bugfix: When setting an icon for a file with a space in the name, the
2574 setting wasn't saved correctly (spotted by Arnaud Calvo and Jakub
2575 Turski). The 'globicons' file should be converted automatically
2576 when the filer is run.
2580 Added support for the regex field in MIME-info. This allows files to be
2581 matched with patterns, not just on their extensions. For example, '.gtkrc'
2582 is now typed 'x-gtkrc' despite having no extension (Stephen Watson and
2587 Allow AppIcon.xpm and .DirIcon.png to be symlinks (Bernard Jungen).

2619 selection caused a crash (Fabien Coutant).
2623 Colour files by type (Andras Mohari).
2627 Added -p to mkdir in install scripts to create any missing parent
2628 directories (Michel Alexandre Salim).

2687 Updated Dutch translation (Jasper Huijsmans).
2688 Send To menu lists contents of all Send To directories in Choices, not just
2689 the first one found.
2690 Fixed another XML compiling problem (Stephen Watson).
2694 Added Customise to `Send To' menu.
2698 Detached Send To menu from main menu structure. Allows key-binding to open

2700 Shift+Menu brings up the menu directly.
2704 Fixed compiling problem with some versions of libxml (Stephen Watson).
2705 Changed a text message in the Options box (about binding keys to menus) into
2706 a button which shows the message in an alert box. Maybe people will read the

2755 (requested by Andreas Dehmel).

2760 set command (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
2762 12-Jul-2001 (Release 1.1.6)
2764 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).

2807 of '<Choices>/Templates' (Stephen Watson).

2813 submenu (suggested by André Wyrwa).
2817 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2818 Added a German translation (André Wyrwa).
2822 Added an extra option to control the resizing behaviour. Can be set to resize

2825 07-Jun-2001 (Release 1.1.5)
2827 Updated Russian translation (Dmitry Elfimov).
2831 Unless compiling with mc's libvfs for virtual filesystem support, change the
2832 menu structure for use with the newer AVFS system.

2870 icons, or just applications (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
2874 Converted the options window to a tabbed notebook (Denis Manente).
2878 Pressing the mouse button down on an icon no longer winks it; only releasing
2879 the button to run it does.
2880 Added 'Show Info' to panel/pinboard menu.
2881 The File Info box grabs the primary selection when a row is selected
2882 (allows you to paste email addresses, URLs, etc).
2886 Opening a pinboard or panel menu over an icon no longer selects it -- this
2887 allows the selection to be passed to an application run using its AppMenu
2888 (requested by Christopher Arndt).
2892 In Large Icons display style, a file's name may wrap onto a second line.
2896 Merged code for handling selections and menus that was common to pinboards

2924 (Christopher Arndt).
2925 Allow text messages in the toolbar to go off the side (instead of resizing the

2931 Without a selection, the name of the file under the cursor is added.
2935 Pressing the `\' key opens the menu (suggested by Christopher Arndt). Hold
2936 down Ctrl for the File submenu.

2941 into the info box. Added a 'Refresh' button to the info box.
2942 Added a ROX-Filer/Styles file for default colours (default filer background

3008 held over the item (Denis Manente).
3010 30-Mar-2001 (Release 1.1.2)
3012 Asking for help on a directory always tries to open <dir>/Help first, even
3013 for non-applications.
3017 If run without -n, the filer will put itself in the background. Thus,
3018 the 'rox' command behaves the same whether or not the filer is already
3023 Support for the new version of libxml (reported by Andreas Dehmel).
3027 Rewrote parser for options. Smaller and neater (hopefully this will fix
3028 the bugs reported by Andreas Dehmel and Ewan Mac Mahon).
3030 Bugfix: While scanning, the resizer could make the window too large.
3034 Moving the cursor down in the next-to-last row will move to the last
3035 item if there is nothing under the cursor (suggested by Graham Borland).
3039 When changing directory, only make the window larger (if needed), never
3040 smaller (suggested by Diego Zamboni).
3044 Changing directory autosizes the window automatically (Denis Manente).
3045 Internal changes to the way different layouts are handled.
3049 Pressing space (to select/unselect an item) now also moves the cursor to
3050 the next item (suggested by Anders Lundmark).
3052 Copying directories tries to preserve the timestamps, like it does for
3053 files (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
3057 Added '--mime-type FILE' option, which simply writes the type of FILE to
3058 standard output (Stephen Watson).
3060 Added 'Home Directory' to Window menu (requested by Graham Borland).
3064 Copying a directory which doesn't have user write permission will give it
3065 user write during the copy to avoid permission denied errors (suggested by
3068 New sort option - 'Directories always come first' (requested by Liav Asseraf).
3072 Dragging a lasso box with the middle button toggles the selected state
3073 of the items enclosed (Denis Manente).
3077 Changing the display style now resizes the window (Denis Manente).
3081 New pinboards get a 'Home' icon in the top left corner as new users often
3082 think the pinboard isn't working because it starts empty (suggested by
3085 Converted AppMenu file format to XML.
3086 Added AppMenu file with options to control the pinboard.
3090 Highlight invalid Find expressions in red (Anders Lundmark).
3094 When resizing windows, try to keep the window fully inside the screen area
3099 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3103 When mounting a device, the new window appears after mounting, not before.
3104 This means that it's more likely to get sized correctly (requested by
3109 Added two new options to control when minibuffer completion beeps (requested
3114 Added 'New File...' feature (James Kermode).
3118 Dropping icons on the pinboard positions them sensibly (Diego Zamboni).
3120 09-Feb-2001 (Release 1.1.1)
3122 Moving pinboard icons is nicer - it no longer assumes you dragged the middle
3123 of the text... (Diego Zamboni).
3125 Added a Polish translation (Andrzej Borsuk).
3127 Bugfix: Sometimes it wasn't possible to delete something that was on a
3128 pinboard or panel, even after confirming (reported by Diego Zamboni).
3132 Sliders in the options box can have a numerical value display (Diego Zamboni).
3133 Fixed a stray warning message displayed when non-default pinboard options
3134 were used (Diego Zamboni).
3136 New menu item 'Set Icon...' allows you to choose any icon for any file or
3137 directory. Also allow .DirIcon.png to set a directory's icon (Diego Zamboni).
3141 Many internal changes to the Options system.
3145 Bugfix: On filesystems which aren't case sensitive (eg DOS) it was possible
3146 to copy 'tmp' as 'Tmp' and lose it! (reported by Denis Manente)
3150 Added Diego Zamboni's patch to make configuring VFS easier.
3154 Improved compiling - now correctly reports an error if the file doesn't
3155 compile. If configure is missing then autoconf is run automatically.
3157 After a Find completes, you are given the option of doing the search again
3160 Applications can define a list of menu items to display on their menus
3161 (Diego Zamboni). The file should be called 'AppMenu' and contains a list of
3162 lines in the form 'option Text'.
3166 Added two new pinboard options - one to allow setting the grid step size
3167 and one to allow icons to go slightly off the side of the screen (Diego
3172 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds could cause a crash (reported by Diego
3177 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3179 Bugfix: The pixbuf stuff didn't work on some displays (reported by Stephen
3182 20-Jan-2001 (Release 1.1.0)
3184 Removed the 'Initial window height' option. The filer tries to pick a
3185 sensible shape itself now.
3187 Bugfix: If an image was moved to a directory which didn't generate thumbs
3188 then it would display, but never be updated. Even if it wasn't that
3189 file at all, just a reused inode!
3190 Bugfix: Changing the display style didn't always redraw the display.
3191 Bugfix: In 'Small, With...' display mode, clicking beyond the far right
3192 column acted like clicking on the far-right column.
3196 Changed background colour to be more compatible with the Gtk themes system.
3200 Removed all the message window stuff. ROX-Filer no longer grabs standard
3201 error from its child processes. Changed because ROX-Session now does a much
3206 Filer is more generous in what hostnames it considers local.
3207 Patch to include pixbuf headers correctly (Diego Zamboni).
3211 Bug fix: Didn't always use the fully qualified host name for DnD.
3215 If a file has a known extension then it is given the appropriate type even
3216 if the file is executable (Simon Britnell).
3220 Added a menu entry 'Resize Window' to set the window to a sensible size
3225 Try to open new windows at a sensible size for their contents (Denis Manente).
3229 Bugfix: When mounting or unmounting subdirectories of '/', the mount symbol
3230 wasn't updated (reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3234 Fixed a couple of memory leaks in the choices system (Diego Zamboni).
3235 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3236 Added new 'Create Thumbs' entry on the Display menu which tries to load
3237 every file in the directory as an image and use that image for the file
3238 (suggested by Sprague and Simon Britnell).
3242 Converted to use gdk-pixbuf instead of ImLib.
3243 Fixed a few compiler warnings and improved the error message displayed
3244 if you try to invoke rox on a missing file (reported by Vincent Lefèvre).
3245 Changed the -w, -W and -i flags to the simpler -x=FILE, which reexamines the
3246 given file, updating directory views and icons as needed.
3250 AppIcon.xpm must be a regular file (stops people trying to crash the
3251 filer by symlinking to /dev/...).
3252 Fixed a missing translation in the pinboard options (Denis Manente).
3256 Attempting to run the filer before compiling will now ask if you want
3258 Removed lots of platform-specific mount point code and replaced it with
3259 python's portable system.
3260 New options section allows you to choose a translation without having to
3261 set the LANG variable.
3265 Added '-w', '-i' and '-W' command line options for forcing icons or
3266 directories to be rescanned (Diego Zamboni).
3268 13-Dec-2000 (Release 1.0.0)
3270 Made a few updates to the manual.
3274 Fixes to make compiling easier on Solaris (Diego Zamboni). Also, after showing
3275 a pinboard icon, tries to send it to the back (might help with some WMs).
3277 04-Dec-2000 (Release 0.1.30)
3279 When a panel is used for the first time, put the user's home directory and
3280 the directory containing ROX-Filer on it instead of leaving it blank.
3284 Patch to make compiling easier under FreeBSD (Jimmy Olgeni).
3285 Added a #include for OSF1 (Vincent Lefevre).
3289 Bugfix: On many systems, the filer would fail to remove zombie processes
3290 due to a typo (spotted by Philip Hazel and tracked down by Stephen
3295 Bugfix: Removing an item from the panel now resizes the panel (reported
3296 by Wilbert Berendsen).
3297 Bugfix: Editing an icon's path failed to update its hash entry.
3301 If a case-sensitve match for an extension can't be found then try a
3302 case-insensitive match - so .BMP and similar work (Denis Manente).
3306 A few changes to remove some compiler warnings (reported by Vincent Lefevre).
3307 Added a VFS menu entry for .deb files (Vincent Ledda).
3311 Mounting or unmounting a directory forces mtab to be reread, even if the
3312 timestamp hasn't changed (problem reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3314 When the 'Unique windows' option is on, remove the old window AFTER creating
3315 the new one, so that the filer doesn't quit because there are zero windows
3316 open... (Denis Manente).
3320 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3324 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3326 Using --version and --help options no longer requires an X server connection,
3327 the man-pages are more standard, and 'man ROX-Filer' is allowed as well as
3328 'man rox' (Bernard Jungen).
3330 Bugfix: A corrupted AppIcon.xpm could crash the filer.
3332 24-Oct-2000 (Release 0.1.29)
3334 Code tidying: Replaced an XLib call with a gdk one (Denis Manente) and amended
3335 the makedist script to remove the .cvsignore files (spotted by Andy
3340 Improved the install script so that it installs the man-page. Also made it
3341 easier to use. Updated the French translation and fixed a couple of
3342 typos (Vincent Lefèvre).
3346 Gtk+ doesn't always scroll entry widgets to show the selection - apply a
3347 workaround (Denis Manente) - this improves the Copy/Rename/etc boxes.
3351 Added a Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3355 Added an Italian translation (Denis Manente).
3359 Bugfix: If AppRun was a symlink, then the owner of the file was checked, not
3360 the owner of the symlink. Slight security risk, and also prevented
3361 users symlinking AppRun to their binaries...
3365 Bugfix: Deleting a pinboard icon while it was highlighted caused a crash.
3366 This means it is now possible to click on a pinboard icon to change
3367 between pinboards...
3369 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds didn't redraw correctly when scrolled
3370 or resized. Now flickers when resizing if there's a textured
3371 background - seems to be necessary :-(
3375 Running as root now simply turns on the -u flag, rather than displaying
3378 The toolbar height is now correctly taken into account when sizing a new filer
3379 window (Denis Manente).
3381 When guessing file types from extensions, the filer now tries to find the
3382 longest extension that matches (eg .ps.gz, then .gz).
3386 The lasso box is now drawn so that the box will be in the foreground colour
3387 over the background, rather than by just inverting the pixel value and hoping
3388 it's visible (spotted by Philip Hazel).
3392 If the home directory is '/' then don't show it as '~' (suggested by
3395 Added '--show=FILE' option - this will be needed by other ROX
3396 applications, so it needs to be in version 1.0.0.
3398 Bugfix: -d option didn't use realpath before sending to an already-running
3403 The 'install.sh' script now uses 'printf' instead of 'echo -e' to suppress
3404 newlines (suggested by Bernard Jungen).
3406 Bugfix: Close tool was always disabled on startup (reported by Martin Ward).
3410 Added a man-page (Andy Piper).
3411 Changed `install.sh' from bash to sh (Bernard Jungen).
3413 18-Sep-2000 (Release 0.1.28)
3415 Bugfix: menu entries on the pinboard menu weren't being shaded and
3420 Changed 'Rename Item' to 'Edit Icon' and allowed changing the path that
3421 the icon points to as well as its name.
3423 All i?86 platforms are treated as being equivalent (so, if you compile
3424 on a 386 then it'll still run on a 486).
3428 Pinboard icons can also be renamed.
3429 Pinboard and panel icons can have '~' or '~/' at the start of their
3430 pathnames - this should make it easier to create a system-wide default
3431 panel or pinboard with icons relative to the user's home directory.
3435 Panel icons can now be renamed (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3439 Changing the toolbar options affects existing windows, not just new ones.
3440 Removed the 'Size Bars' display style and replaced it with 'Permissions',
3441 'Type' and 'Times' styles.
3445 With items that spread over their normal width because they're on the
3446 edge of the window, clicking on the extra bit now works.
3448 Added a size limit of 400K on application icons. This is to prevent
3449 someone trying to crash the filer by linking /tmp/MyApp/AppIcon.xpm
3452 Dragging an item with the middle button when none are selected unselects
3453 the item after the drag.
3455 Added 'Show Location' feature for pinboard and panels - opens a directory
3456 showing where the file really is.
3460 Allowed items in the far right column to spread right to the edge of the
3461 window. Fixed a bug which prevented Delete from working if there was
3466 Deleting items first checks if it will affect the pinboard or panel. A
3467 warning is displayed if so.
3469 Upgraded the query dialog (from ROX-Session) - looks nicer.
3473 'Unique filer windows' option now has no effect while the spring open
3474 feature is active (spotted by Andrew Booker). Also, when opening a new
3475 window, the old window is destroyed and a new one created (rather than
3476 reusing the old one). This ensures that the new window appears in the
3479 When a drag from the pinboard or a filer window ends, the selection is
3480 only cleared if the icon was selected by starting the drag. Thus, it now
3481 works like the panels.
3485 New Close toolbar button (requested by Martin Ward).
3486 Toolbar icons can be turned on and off from the Options box.
3487 Removed the 'Mount' menu entry, since 'Shift Open' does it too.
3488 Made the Shift Open menu text change depending on what is selected.
3489 Bugfix: dragging icons around no longer saved the new pinboard state!
3493 Running a second copy of the filer as another user will start a new copy
3494 instead of reusing the existing one. Added the '-u' option to display the
3495 name of the user running the filer in each window (also suppresses the
3496 normal don't-run-as-root warning).
3498 Added '-d', which opens a directory as a directory, even if it looks like
3503 Added Large and Small toolbar buttons. Right-clicking brings up a menu.
3507 Moved 'Set Run Action' to the file menu (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon), and
3508 made using it bring up a dialog rather than a minibuffer. Hopefully it is now
3511 Added much improved icons for executables and for applications without icons
3512 of their own (Victor Liu See-le).
3514 Allow '/' on the pinboard and panel (text wasn't displayed - spotted by
3517 Bugfix: auto-scrolling didn't always stop when a drag ended.
3518 Bugfix: creating a panel with the same name as a file in the current
3519 directory caused an error due to a throwback from when panels were
3520 directories (spotted by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3522 30-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.27)
3524 Increased the distance you have to move the pointer to start a drag
3525 slightly. Updated the manual.
3527 Panel icons can now be moved from one side to the other by simply moving
3528 over the gap in the middle. Previously, you had to jump over an icon on
3531 Left and right panels look better now. Also, they shrink if you add a top
3532 or bottom panel to make room.
3536 Dragging on the panel background allows you to slide the bar back and
3541 Fixed a slight bug with lasso boxes, which could cause them to be drawn in
3542 the wrong place. Install script no longer overwrites the default run
3543 actions; if the user has changed them leave them alone!
3544 (Martin Ward noted that symlinking to an executable would cause the
3545 executable to be destroyed on upgrade!)
3549 More improvements to the event handling. Seems to be working again at
3551 Made the toolbar buttons slightly larger, and added a textual display
3552 for 'Next Click' mode (eg 'Delete ... ?' when it's waiting for you to
3554 Moved the pinboard over to the new mouse binding code too.
3558 Started rewriting the event handling for filer windows to go through
3559 the new code in bind.c, like the panel handling does.
3563 You can now drag icons from the panel to other applications.
3567 Dragging panel icons with the middle button allows you to move them around.
3569 New option to set the default height for new filer windows (patch from
3574 Selecting panel icons now grabs the primary selection. Pasting pastes all
3575 selected file path names. Icons can now be added to either side of the panel.
3577 Bug fix: Moving a file didn't always update the source directory.
3581 Many improvements to the panel - drag and drop to icons, adding new icons,
3582 selections (doesn't grab the primary selection yet though), removing icons
3583 and automatically saving the panel when it's changed.
3587 Improved reference counting on images (hopefully!). Lots of work on
3588 rewriting the panel system.
3592 Made the timeout for the spring-open feature configurable (requested by
3595 Use short form of --version in install.sh and don't use unsetenv() if it
3596 isn't available (Mattias Engdegård).
3600 New options to set the pinboard text foreground and background colours
3601 (suggested by James Kermode).
3605 Your home directory is now displayed as '~' in the title bar, rather
3606 than as a full path.
3608 01-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.26)
3610 Added a popup menu of commonly used chmod strings to the Permissions
3611 box. Bracketed text and spaces are now ignored in the commands.
3612 Bug fix: Only menu keys changed since the last load were saved!
3616 Bug fix: Mount points on the pinboard didn't always redraw when the
3617 mounted/unmounted state changed.
3621 Renaming now uses the action windows. This means that you can now
3622 rename something onto another filesystem.
3626 The menu key bindings are now only saved if they actually changed.
3628 Code tidying: Moved some typedefs to the new `global.h' file and
3629 thus removed the dependencies between header files :-)
3633 Tab and Shift-Tab move to next and previous selected item.
3637 The new display styles can now be saved as the defaults (bug spotted by
3640 When autoscrolling is used, prevent the last-highlighted directory
3641 from springing open. 'spring open' now defaults to off.
3643 The toolbar Up and Home buttons can act as drop targets (and spring open
3646 Options to set the pinboard text background style (suggested by James
3651 Added an option to control the spring-loading feature. Added tooltips
3652 to some of the options. Improved the rule for deciding whether to open
3653 a new window when you click on the toolbar buttons.
3655 Stopped the spring-open window moving while it's open (prevents a bug
3656 in GTK+ from causing problems). Please use GTK+ 1.2.8 or later now!
3658 Dragging near the edge of a window scrolls. Improved the lasso box drag
3659 to use the same system (so it scrolls without you having to move the
3664 Added 'spring-loaded' directories. If you drag a file over a directory and
3665 hold it there, the directory will spring open! (suggested by Barney
3670 In the path entry minibuffer, an exact match is favoured over any other
3671 match. So, if you enter '.xsession' and press Return you'll get it, not
3672 '.xsession-errors' or whatever!
3674 The filer now clears APP_DIR from the environment so that child processes
3675 don't get it. Fixed a bug which caused problems when using a small version
3676 of the 'missing image' image.
3680 Creating a new directory now makes sure the display is updated.
3682 18-Jul-2000 (Release 0.1.25)
3684 Prevent dragging from a pinboard selection to itself, or onto the desktop
3689 Clicking on the root window works (button-1 clears the selection,
3690 button-3 opens the pinboard menu). The pinboard can own the primary
3691 selection, which means that you can select something and then paste
3692 its name into another program.
3694 Keys bound to menu entries are automatically saved when the filer quits.
3698 Changed the install script so that the CVS directories don't get installed.
3700 The 'rox' script now just calls AppRun directly.
3701 Panels can be created without starting a new copy of the filer.
3702 The pinboard can be changed or removed by using --pinboard a second time.
3704 Files can be given as arguments - they are opened as if they were clicked
3705 on in a filer window (suggested by Alex Holden). If no arguments are
3706 given then the default is now the current directory (not your home
3709 If you start the leafname in the path minibuffer with '.' then the Show
3710 Hidden feature is temporarily turned on.
3714 Ctrl-clicking selects and unselects pinboard icons. Menu clicking
3715 selects the icon clicked on while the menu is open. Pinned icons are
3716 now updated when the pointer moves over them, if necessary.
3720 Menu-clicking on a pinboard icon now brings up a menu.
3721 Clicks on the root window are still ignored though; need to support
3722 the GNOME-compliant window manager system for passing root clicks on...
3726 Files can now be dragged to pinboard icons, and they highlight nicely too!
3727 If the --override option is used, the filer will bypass the window manager
3728 and position the icons directly.
3732 Pinboard icons can now be dragged to filer windows or applications, just
3737 Changed the DnD code to make it easier for the pinboard code to use it.
3738 Up and Home buttons on the toolbar now use the 'New window on button 1'
3739 option setting (suggested by Vincent Lefèvre).
3743 Pinboard can have mount points and symlinks on it.
3747 Dragging with the Menu button moves icons around. Clicking with the
3748 other button removes icons from the pinboard.
3752 Dragging files to the pinboard adds them to it and automatically saves
3757 Pinboard is now loaded from a file specified on the command line.
3761 'Home' now appears on the background if you run it with --pinboard.
3762 Clicking opens your home directory. Doesn't do much else.
3763 Fixed a bug which prevented the minibuffer label from appearing on
3764 some versions of GTK+.
3768 First steps towards pinboard support (requested by P.S.S.Camp and
3773 Changed the Display menu layout - now there are four basic types (Large or
3774 Small, with or without details) and the type of detail desired is chosen
3775 from a sub-sub-menu.
3777 Added a new display style - bars showing the sizes of the files. The bars are
3778 drawn on a log scale.
3782 Changed the display menu - you can now choose large or small icons, with or
3783 without details. The details displayed can also be changed. I'm not quite
3784 happy with the UI yet though...
3786 Split the filer.c source file into two (filer.c and display.c) since it was
3787 becoming rather unwieldy. This means that some of the option names have
3788 changed because they've moved to a new section in the options window...
3792 Fixed a problem where ImLib support failed on multi-depth displays (reported
3793 by Stephen Harrison).
3795 06-Jun-2000 (Release 0.1.24)
3797 Added the install.sh script for easier installation.
3798 Removed 'MIME-info' file from ROX-Filer - now we always assume that the
3799 standard types are in Choices.
3800 Fixed a bug which could cause 'top' panels to appear in the wrong place
3802 Changed the sort order for Sort By Type so that directories come before
3803 files (suggested by Chris Garrett).
3804 `Single-click navigation' and 'Ignore case when sorting' now both default
3809 Improved the theme support to allow tiled background images.
3810 Fixed a bug which prevented tilde expansion from working in the
3811 shell command minibuffer.
3815 Made the help button look a bit nicer and changed the Find and Permissions
3816 action windows to use the icon instead of a text button.
3817 Removed the 3D borders from the help and toolbar buttons when not selected
3818 (looks much better!). Setting a run action by dragging to a symlink now
3819 dereferences the link (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3821 Default search path for Choices is now:
3822 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
3824 Fixed (possibly) a bug which sometimes causes the redraw to miss bits. This
3825 probably slows everything down, but the next Gtk+ release should do double
3826 buffering so all this will get changed then...
3830 Added a Help icon to the toolbar, which does the same as choosing `Show
3831 ROX-Filer Help' from the menu.
3835 Started adding some code to truncate long filenames (not finished yet).
3836 Fixed a bug which could cause directories to appear empty when using VFS.
3837 Added the 'Select If' minibuffer, which selects all files matching the
3842 Moved most of the icons from pixmaps to MIME-icons (outside ROX-Filer).
3843 Updated several of the remaining icons by copying them from the GNOME
3844 desktop (suggested by Volker Braun).
3847 16-May-2000 (Release 0.1.23)
3849 Added the `Window->Set Run Action' menu item. This allows you to specify the
3850 default run action for a file by simply dragging the file into a program.
3851 You can also enter a shell command in the minibuffer to make that command
3853 The cursor is a bit nicer and usually appears where you want it to now. You
3854 can also get rid of it by pressing Escape.
3858 Applied Bernard's patch (a couple of cosmetic changes to the action windows).
3859 Applied Vincent's patch (minor updates to the Frech translation).
3860 Fixed a problem with the pixmap caching - the filer would detect that the
3861 file had changed and try to reload it, but ImLib would simply return its
3866 Removed a debugging message that had somehow got into the release version :-(
3867 Fixed a bug in the minibuffer code - pressing Return when the cursor was in
3868 an empty directory caused odd effects.
3870 24-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.22)
3872 When starting, the filer will check to see if it is already running.
3873 If it is then the arguments are passed to that copy.
3877 Bug fix: Attempting to open a Find preview window could cause a crash
3878 if the directory containing the item could not be opened.
3879 Button-3 clicking on the toolbar icons opens a new window.
3884 Added Vincent Lefevre's French translation. Changed to using my own
3885 gettext function because some platforms don't have it or implement
