2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
7 Much faster thumbnail generation (Ken Hayber, reported by Anthony DiSante).
11 When closing a filer window showing a directory under a user-mounted
12 mount-point, offer to unmount the device if no other filer window also shows
13 that mount point (requested by Tony Houghton and others). Also do this check
14 when changing to a parent directory.
15 Scale iconified window icons on the pinboard down to normal size (Ken Hayber).
19 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
23 Work on the action box, including a progress bar (Stephen Watson).
27 Added PinboardRemove() SOAP call (Stephen Watson).
29 20-Oct-2004 (Release 2.1.4)
31 Added Portuguese translation (Rodrigo Cesar Herefeld).

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

186 Added firefox to list of default browsers (suggested by eugene).
190 Added Romanian translation (Cosma Florin).
194 Can now set "Brief" option on the Copy and Move action windows (Stephen
196 Properties window handles mount points specially when calculating their size
201 Bugfix: On Linux, the filer called setxattr instead of getxattr, thus
202 preventing setting filetypes with extended attributes from working.
203 Bugfix: Copy and Move now obey the "Brief" option (Stephen Watson, reported
208 Bugfix: On multi-monitor setups, filer windows always opened on the top/left
209 monitor (reported by Kacper Wysocki). Now they open on the monitor
214 Icons of minimized windows remember their positions on the pinboard (Stephen
216 Filer now officially requires GTK 2.2.0 or later (wasn't working with 2.0
217 anyway, and noone had complained).
218 Bugfix: A race in the code for updating iconified window titles could cause
219 the filer to crash with a BadWindow error.
223 Another Properties window fix: if there is no output from the du command
224 then put a message indicating an error (Stephen Watson).
225 Can now compile without Xinerama support on GTK+ < 2.2.0 (Tony Houghton).
229 Let the panel autoscroll during a drag (Stephen Watson).
233 Fix another bug when closing Properties window before it has finished
234 scanning the directory (Stephen Watson).
238 Improved Xinerama support: now works for tooltips and action windows; filer
239 windows are no longer prone to leaving their borders overlapping; panel uses
240 _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL so it only affects the monitor it's on (Tony Houghton).
244 Make ignoring executable files with known extensions the default setting
245 (suggested by Daniel Poersch). Freedesktop.org is discussing a plan to mark
246 individual MIME types as executable, which may be a better long-term
248 Option to prevent maximising windows from covering the panels (requested
249 by Simon Templer and others).
253 Type specific Send To entries now shown for multiple files when they
254 are all of the same type (Stephen Watson).
255 Can now drag icons to the very end of the panel (Stephen Watson).
259 Another place to look for apsymbols.h (Stephen Watson).
263 More fixes for the new build system (Stephen Watson).
267 Fix portability of new build system and ensure configure can find the
268 version number again (Stephen Watson).
272 Build object files in ~/build/ROX-Filer, in case source directory is read-only.
273 This also reduces the risk of distributing the object files by accident.
277 Don't allow toolbar buttons to focus (needed for GTK 2.4).
281 Fix loss of bookmark name when re-ordering (Rahsheen Porter).
282 Removed installation of thumbnail handlers via the Set Icon dialog. It was
283 never documented and all the thumbnailers use the mime_handler installation
284 anyway (Stephen Watson).
288 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
292 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
296 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
298 30-Apr-2004 (Release 2.1.2)
300 Removed toolbar hint type from panel. It caused too many problems.
304 Added 'Download handler' to drag and drop options. This program is invoked
305 when a URI is dragged to the filer (eg, from a web-browser). The default
306 command runs wget to download the file (Andrew Flegg).
310 Bugfix: URIs received through drag-and-drop were unescaped twice, causing
311 problems with names containing the '%' character (spotted by Jonatan
316 Cope with spaces in ROX-Filer's path.
317 Added a load of default keys, since many GTK setups now make it almost
318 impossible to change shortcuts.
319 Added --leaks option to run ROX-Filer through valgrind with the memory
320 leak option checking on (Stephen Watson).
324 Added Xinerama support (Tony Houghton).
325 Set window type hint = toolbar for panel to prevent it appearing in pagers etc
330 Added method of saving display settings for directories. Mostly working,
331 but bugs remain related to size and position (Stephen Watson).
332 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
336 Load extended attribute functions dynamically. This should mean that compiling
337 ROX-Filer with a new glibc won't make it stop working with older versions due
338 to the functions being missing.
342 Use * as a synonym for unfiltered (Stephen Watson).
346 Bookmarks can be given titles (Stephen Watson).
350 Fix memory leak in thumbnails code (Stephen Watson).
354 Fixed bug in details mode for showing hidden files (Stephen Watson).
358 Don't display an error box when installing the ROX icon theme. It just
359 worries people for no reason.
363 Updated Chinese translation (Babyfai Cheung).
367 Option to make the File menu appear directly when the menu is opened with
368 files selected (Peter Geer).
372 Added an arrow to the comparison area of the action box so you can see
373 which file overwrites the other (Stephen Watson).
377 Sort by user/group now uses the name, not the number (Stephen Watson).
381 Added 'Select by Name'.

416 drag-and-drop (Andrew Flegg).
420 Bugfix: Icon shortcuts with out modifier keys didn't work if NumLock,
421 CapsLock, etc were turned on (reported by Peter Geer).
422 Bugfix: Handle case when the output of uname -m contains spaces (Stephen
423 Watson, reported on #rox).
427 Renamed some functions stolen from Gtk to avoid possible conflicts with
428 the Gtk-2.3 series (reported by Stu Tissimus).
432 Make the Ctrl-button-3 menu pointer appear at the same place regardless
433 of the number of custom entries (Stephen Watson).
437 Make Ctrl-button-3 open the menu slightly higher, so Delete isn't under the
438 pointer (suggested by Ryan Pavlik).
442 Allow non image/* thumbnails in details mode. Label next to the combo
443 in the Set Type action dialog is now "Type" and not "Command" (Stephen
448 Work out which include file we need for getxattr (Stephen Watson).
452 Allow editing a symlink's target from the Properties box (suggested by Arnaud
454 Experimental extended attributes support for setting MIME types (Stephen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

677 forward them explicitly.
681 Fix scrolling problem with GTK+-2.2.2 (reported by Alastair Porter, with

766 Updated install script to use new XDG Base Directory spec (reported by
768 Also install man pages under 'share/man'.
772 Close stdout when running child processes for users running startx from the
773 console, since some terminal applications try to read from the console,

775 Forward scroll events on pinboard to window manager, and add option to
776 workaround *box issues (Matthew Weier O'Phinney).

914 Bugfix: Using a SOAP call to open a non-existant directory made the filer
916 Bugfix: Drag-and-drop raising on the panel didn't quite work (Daniele Peri).

941 option (reported by Laurent Moussault).
942 Allow changing the pinboard style without having to drag the image back in
943 (requested by Jesse Wagner).
944 Remove button style from iconified windows. Use a semi-transparent border

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

964 Option to show menu on button-1 drags instead of copying.

2107 conversion fails (Stephen Watson).
2109 Deleting a symlink to a pinboard or panel icon showed a warning, even though
2110 there was no danger, because it followed the symlink. Trying to copy a symlink
2111 inside the directory it pointed to failed for the same reason.
2115 Big changes to internationalisation for pinboards and panels to fix problems
2116 with incompatible character sets (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
2117 When creating thumbnails, create to a temporary file and rename in case another
2118 program tries to write the save thumbnail at the same time.
2119 As a special case, running with just '-v' doesn't call gtk_init, allowing
2120 installing without an X server (requested by Michael Duelli).
2124 Converter for old-format config files now stops if the file looks like
2125 XML (probably from a failed conversion).

2246 The old 'AppMenu' file is no longer checked for (use AppInfo.xml instead).

2251 With Gtk+-2.0 UTF-8 converstion, the filer now converts from the charset
2252 specified in the translation (was always using iso-8859-1).
2256 If thumbnailing is cancelled, it can be resumed later. Hiding thumbnails
2257 stops any scan in progress automatically. Added 'All' and 'Thumbs' status
2262 New 'Show image thumnails' option to set this as the default (requested by
2264 Got details working again with Gtk+-1.2 (spotted by Kristian Rink).
2268 New thumbnail system. 'Create Thumbs' is now 'Show Thumbnails' and can

2275 Improved error reporting.
2276 Improved sizing code when details are on.

2288 Added a missing #ifdef for the regex code (Damien Couderc).
2289 All file leafnames now use AA fonts with Gtk+-2.0 (details are still

2309 Target mode, dragging an unselected item, and auto-selecting an item when
2310 opening the menu now all work without grabbing the primary selection.

2316 now reclaims the selection.
2317 Removed default minibuffer option for now.
2318 The dash forms in Find tests can be combined, eg '-rwx'.
2323 Additional window hints - pinboard and panels refuse focus and pinboard
2324 icons are marked as desktop features (requested by Laurent Moussault).
2325 Thumbnails are now stored using an md5 hash of their names.
2326 Pinboard icons can be repositioned by dragging with the left mouse button
2327 (middle button drag stopped working with sawfish, and this is easier anyway).
2331 New scanning system: blank items are added to the window first and then the
2332 icons and types get filled in later. Looks better and simplifies the sizing
2334 Code tidying in various places.
2338 Bugfix: Filer would quit if only Info boxes were open.
2339 Bugfix: Pinboard and panel windows didn't get the correct hints set under

2345 efficient now, and easier to get aa fonts working...
2349 Fixed Gtk+-2.0 wheel mouse support.
2350 In the Info box, 'File says...' was reporting on the program used to

2369 it was in the displayed area before.
2371 When closing the Enter Path minibuffer, keep Show Hidden on if the cursor is
2374 When using --show with a hidden file, turn on Show Hidden. Also, delay the
2375 winking effect until the window actually appears.

2380 so they redisplay quickly next time the filer is loaded (requested by
2381 Kristian A. Rink and others).
2383 Bugfix: Toggling the section with a middle button drag could lose the primary
2384 selection (Andras Mohari).

2396 Added a new root window property (_ROX_FILER_EUID_HOST) which points to
2397 the SOAP IPC window for a particular hostname and user ID. This makes it
2398 easier for other programs to talk to the filer.

2406 Moved 'Select All', 'Clear Selection' and 'Select If...' to a new 'Select'

2410 the console (Olivier Fourdan).
2414 Manpage is now generated automatically from DocBook source.
2415 Short forms for many find expressions, such as -d for IsDir (suggested by

2448 Code tidying in menu.c (Bernard Jungen).

2463 width or height of zero (Andras Mohari).

2476 (requested by Graham Borland).
2477 Added 'Types' section to the Options window, allowing easy(ish) access
2478 to the MIME-info files, plus a reload button, and icons for MIME-types can

2486 Bugfix: 'New Directory' didn't correctly select the leafname with Gtk+-2.0.
2490 Added Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).

2492 - Disk usage forgot to count special files like pipes, etc.
2493 - Page up/down scrolls a window full at a time instead of 10 items.
2494 - Don't get icons from the cache if thumbnail mode is off anymore.
2495 - modechange.c: deleted useless stuff and fixed octal parsing to detect
2496 *all* illegal values (eg 010000000000000).
2497 - Added 'Show/hide hidden files' toolbar button.
2498 - Lots of code tidying.

2532 option to access it directly.
2536 Open new windows at the mouse position (suggested by Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson).
2537 Bugfix: If file doesn't accept the '-b' option then examining a file in
2538 the root directory didn't work (Stephen Watson).
2542 Use --version instead of 'which' to test for programs as not everyone has
2543 which (suggested by Vincent Lefevre).
2544 Bugfix: When setting an icon for a file with a space in the name, the
2545 setting wasn't saved correctly (spotted by Arnaud Calvo and Jakub
2546 Turski). The 'globicons' file should be converted automatically
2547 when the filer is run.
2551 Added support for the regex field in MIME-info. This allows files to be
2552 matched with patterns, not just on their extensions. For example, '.gtkrc'
2553 is now typed 'x-gtkrc' despite having no extension (Stephen Watson and
2558 Allow AppIcon.xpm and .DirIcon.png to be symlinks (Bernard Jungen).

2590 selection caused a crash (Fabien Coutant).
2594 Colour files by type (Andras Mohari).
2598 Added -p to mkdir in install scripts to create any missing parent
2599 directories (Michel Alexandre Salim).

2649 The 'src/po/dist' script now converts all text to UTF-8.
2653 Fixed some problems with the configure.in script and autoconf 2.50 (Richard
2658 Updated Dutch translation (Jasper Huijsmans).
2659 Send To menu lists contents of all Send To directories in Choices, not just
2660 the first one found.
2661 Fixed another XML compiling problem (Stephen Watson).
2665 Added Customise to `Send To' menu.
2669 Detached Send To menu from main menu structure. Allows key-binding to open

2671 Shift+Menu brings up the menu directly.
2675 Fixed compiling problem with some versions of libxml (Stephen Watson).
2676 Changed a text message in the Options box (about binding keys to menus) into
2677 a button which shows the message in an alert box. Maybe people will read the

2726 (requested by Andreas Dehmel).
2730 When using the Set Run Action box, make the command default to the currently
2731 set command (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
2733 12-Jul-2001 (Release 1.1.6)
2735 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2739 Renamed 'New File' submenu to 'New' and moved 'New Directory' into it.
2743 Use the user's preferred font for item filenames, not the Gtk default

2752 Don't show tooltips for applets as it causes problems (reported by Stephen

2778 of '<Choices>/Templates' (Stephen Watson).

2784 submenu (suggested by André Wyrwa).
2788 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2789 Added a German translation (André Wyrwa).
2793 Added an extra option to control the resizing behaviour. Can be set to resize

2796 07-Jun-2001 (Release 1.1.5)
2798 Updated Russian translation (Dmitry Elfimov).
2802 Unless compiling with mc's libvfs for virtual filesystem support, change the
2803 menu structure for use with the newer AVFS system.

2841 icons, or just applications (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
2845 Converted the options window to a tabbed notebook (Denis Manente).
2849 Pressing the mouse button down on an icon no longer winks it; only releasing
2850 the button to run it does.
2851 Added 'Show Info' to panel/pinboard menu.
2852 The File Info box grabs the primary selection when a row is selected
2853 (allows you to paste email addresses, URLs, etc).
2857 Opening a pinboard or panel menu over an icon no longer selects it -- this
2858 allows the selection to be passed to an application run using its AppMenu
2859 (requested by Christopher Arndt).
2863 In Large Icons display style, a file's name may wrap onto a second line.
2867 Merged code for handling selections and menus that was common to pinboards

2895 (Christopher Arndt).
2896 Allow text messages in the toolbar to go off the side (instead of resizing the
2901 Opening the shell minibuffer with a selection adds ' "$@' after the cursor.
2902 Without a selection, the name of the file under the cursor is added.
2906 Pressing the `\' key opens the menu (suggested by Christopher Arndt). Hold
2907 down Ctrl for the File submenu.
2911 Added a new 'About' section to AppInfo. Any elements in here are added
2912 into the info box. Added a 'Refresh' button to the info box.
2913 Added a ROX-Filer/Styles file for default colours (default filer background

2928 displayed in a tooltip if the mouse is held over the item in a filer

2965 the `Set Icon...' settings didn't work (reported by Damien
2970 New display style 'Huge Icons' to make viewing thumbnails easier.
2971 Added a Hungarian translation (Andras Mohari).

2979 held over the item (Denis Manente).
2981 30-Mar-2001 (Release 1.1.2)
2983 Asking for help on a directory always tries to open <dir>/Help first, even
2984 for non-applications.
2988 If run without -n, the filer will put itself in the background. Thus,
2989 the 'rox' command behaves the same whether or not the filer is already
2994 Support for the new version of libxml (reported by Andreas Dehmel).
2998 Rewrote parser for options. Smaller and neater (hopefully this will fix
2999 the bugs reported by Andreas Dehmel and Ewan Mac Mahon).
3001 Bugfix: While scanning, the resizer could make the window too large.
3005 Moving the cursor down in the next-to-last row will move to the last
3006 item if there is nothing under the cursor (suggested by Graham Borland).
3010 When changing directory, only make the window larger (if needed), never
3011 smaller (suggested by Diego Zamboni).
3015 Changing directory autosizes the window automatically (Denis Manente).
3016 Internal changes to the way different layouts are handled.
3020 Pressing space (to select/unselect an item) now also moves the cursor to
3021 the next item (suggested by Anders Lundmark).
3023 Copying directories tries to preserve the timestamps, like it does for
3024 files (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
3028 Added '--mime-type FILE' option, which simply writes the type of FILE to
3029 standard output (Stephen Watson).
3031 Added 'Home Directory' to Window menu (requested by Graham Borland).
3035 Copying a directory which doesn't have user write permission will give it
3036 user write during the copy to avoid permission denied errors (suggested by
3039 New sort option - 'Directories always come first' (requested by Liav Asseraf).
3043 Dragging a lasso box with the middle button toggles the selected state
3044 of the items enclosed (Denis Manente).
3048 Changing the display style now resizes the window (Denis Manente).
3052 New pinboards get a 'Home' icon in the top left corner as new users often
3053 think the pinboard isn't working because it starts empty (suggested by
3056 Converted AppMenu file format to XML.
3057 Added AppMenu file with options to control the pinboard.
3061 Highlight invalid Find expressions in red (Anders Lundmark).
3065 When resizing windows, try to keep the window fully inside the screen area
3070 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3074 When mounting a device, the new window appears after mounting, not before.
3075 This means that it's more likely to get sized correctly (requested by
3080 Added two new options to control when minibuffer completion beeps (requested
3085 Added 'New File...' feature (James Kermode).
3089 Dropping icons on the pinboard positions them sensibly (Diego Zamboni).
3091 09-Feb-2001 (Release 1.1.1)
3093 Moving pinboard icons is nicer - it no longer assumes you dragged the middle
3094 of the text... (Diego Zamboni).
3096 Added a Polish translation (Andrzej Borsuk).
3098 Bugfix: Sometimes it wasn't possible to delete something that was on a
3099 pinboard or panel, even after confirming (reported by Diego Zamboni).
3103 Sliders in the options box can have a numerical value display (Diego Zamboni).
3104 Fixed a stray warning message displayed when non-default pinboard options
3105 were used (Diego Zamboni).
3107 New menu item 'Set Icon...' allows you to choose any icon for any file or
3108 directory. Also allow .DirIcon.png to set a directory's icon (Diego Zamboni).
3112 Many internal changes to the Options system.
3116 Bugfix: On filesystems which aren't case sensitive (eg DOS) it was possible
3117 to copy 'tmp' as 'Tmp' and lose it! (reported by Denis Manente)
3121 Added Diego Zamboni's patch to make configuring VFS easier.
3125 Improved compiling - now correctly reports an error if the file doesn't
3126 compile. If configure is missing then autoconf is run automatically.
3128 After a Find completes, you are given the option of doing the search again
3131 Applications can define a list of menu items to display on their menus
3132 (Diego Zamboni). The file should be called 'AppMenu' and contains a list of
3133 lines in the form 'option Text'.
3137 Added two new pinboard options - one to allow setting the grid step size
3138 and one to allow icons to go slightly off the side of the screen (Diego
3143 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds could cause a crash (reported by Diego
3148 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3150 Bugfix: The pixbuf stuff didn't work on some displays (reported by Stephen
3153 20-Jan-2001 (Release 1.1.0)
3155 Removed the 'Initial window height' option. The filer tries to pick a
3156 sensible shape itself now.
3158 Bugfix: If an image was moved to a directory which didn't generate thumbs
3159 then it would display, but never be updated. Even if it wasn't that
3160 file at all, just a reused inode!
3161 Bugfix: Changing the display style didn't always redraw the display.
3162 Bugfix: In 'Small, With...' display mode, clicking beyond the far right
3163 column acted like clicking on the far-right column.
3167 Changed background colour to be more compatible with the Gtk themes system.
3171 Removed all the message window stuff. ROX-Filer no longer grabs standard
3172 error from its child processes. Changed because ROX-Session now does a much
3177 Filer is more generous in what hostnames it considers local.
3178 Patch to include pixbuf headers correctly (Diego Zamboni).
3182 Bug fix: Didn't always use the fully qualified host name for DnD.
3186 If a file has a known extension then it is given the appropriate type even
3187 if the file is executable (Simon Britnell).
3191 Added a menu entry 'Resize Window' to set the window to a sensible size
3196 Try to open new windows at a sensible size for their contents (Denis Manente).
3200 Bugfix: When mounting or unmounting subdirectories of '/', the mount symbol
3201 wasn't updated (reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3205 Fixed a couple of memory leaks in the choices system (Diego Zamboni).
3206 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3207 Added new 'Create Thumbs' entry on the Display menu which tries to load
3208 every file in the directory as an image and use that image for the file
3209 (suggested by Sprague and Simon Britnell).
3213 Converted to use gdk-pixbuf instead of ImLib.
3214 Fixed a few compiler warnings and improved the error message displayed
3215 if you try to invoke rox on a missing file (reported by Vincent Lefèvre).
3216 Changed the -w, -W and -i flags to the simpler -x=FILE, which reexamines the
3217 given file, updating directory views and icons as needed.
3221 AppIcon.xpm must be a regular file (stops people trying to crash the
3222 filer by symlinking to /dev/...).
3223 Fixed a missing translation in the pinboard options (Denis Manente).
3227 Attempting to run the filer before compiling will now ask if you want
3229 Removed lots of platform-specific mount point code and replaced it with
3230 python's portable system.
3231 New options section allows you to choose a translation without having to
3232 set the LANG variable.
3236 Added '-w', '-i' and '-W' command line options for forcing icons or
3237 directories to be rescanned (Diego Zamboni).
3239 13-Dec-2000 (Release 1.0.0)
3241 Made a few updates to the manual.
3245 Fixes to make compiling easier on Solaris (Diego Zamboni). Also, after showing
3246 a pinboard icon, tries to send it to the back (might help with some WMs).
3248 04-Dec-2000 (Release 0.1.30)
3250 When a panel is used for the first time, put the user's home directory and
3251 the directory containing ROX-Filer on it instead of leaving it blank.
3255 Patch to make compiling easier under FreeBSD (Jimmy Olgeni).
3256 Added a #include for OSF1 (Vincent Lefevre).
3260 Bugfix: On many systems, the filer would fail to remove zombie processes
3261 due to a typo (spotted by Philip Hazel and tracked down by Stephen
3266 Bugfix: Removing an item from the panel now resizes the panel (reported
3267 by Wilbert Berendsen).
3268 Bugfix: Editing an icon's path failed to update its hash entry.
3272 If a case-sensitve match for an extension can't be found then try a
3273 case-insensitive match - so .BMP and similar work (Denis Manente).
3277 A few changes to remove some compiler warnings (reported by Vincent Lefevre).
3278 Added a VFS menu entry for .deb files (Vincent Ledda).
3282 Mounting or unmounting a directory forces mtab to be reread, even if the
3283 timestamp hasn't changed (problem reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3285 When the 'Unique windows' option is on, remove the old window AFTER creating
3286 the new one, so that the filer doesn't quit because there are zero windows
3287 open... (Denis Manente).
3291 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3295 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3297 Using --version and --help options no longer requires an X server connection,
3298 the man-pages are more standard, and 'man ROX-Filer' is allowed as well as
3299 'man rox' (Bernard Jungen).
3301 Bugfix: A corrupted AppIcon.xpm could crash the filer.
3303 24-Oct-2000 (Release 0.1.29)
3305 Code tidying: Replaced an XLib call with a gdk one (Denis Manente) and amended
3306 the makedist script to remove the .cvsignore files (spotted by Andy
3311 Improved the install script so that it installs the man-page. Also made it
3312 easier to use. Updated the French translation and fixed a couple of
3313 typos (Vincent Lefèvre).
3317 Gtk+ doesn't always scroll entry widgets to show the selection - apply a
3318 workaround (Denis Manente) - this improves the Copy/Rename/etc boxes.
3322 Added a Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3326 Added an Italian translation (Denis Manente).
3330 Bugfix: If AppRun was a symlink, then the owner of the file was checked, not
3331 the owner of the symlink. Slight security risk, and also prevented
3332 users symlinking AppRun to their binaries...
3336 Bugfix: Deleting a pinboard icon while it was highlighted caused a crash.
3337 This means it is now possible to click on a pinboard icon to change
3338 between pinboards...
3340 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds didn't redraw correctly when scrolled
3341 or resized. Now flickers when resizing if there's a textured
3342 background - seems to be necessary :-(
3346 Running as root now simply turns on the -u flag, rather than displaying
3349 The toolbar height is now correctly taken into account when sizing a new filer
3350 window (Denis Manente).
3352 When guessing file types from extensions, the filer now tries to find the
3353 longest extension that matches (eg .ps.gz, then .gz).
3357 The lasso box is now drawn so that the box will be in the foreground colour
3358 over the background, rather than by just inverting the pixel value and hoping
3359 it's visible (spotted by Philip Hazel).
3363 If the home directory is '/' then don't show it as '~' (suggested by
3366 Added '--show=FILE' option - this will be needed by other ROX
3367 applications, so it needs to be in version 1.0.0.
3369 Bugfix: -d option didn't use realpath before sending to an already-running
3374 The 'install.sh' script now uses 'printf' instead of 'echo -e' to suppress
3375 newlines (suggested by Bernard Jungen).
3377 Bugfix: Close tool was always disabled on startup (reported by Martin Ward).
3381 Added a man-page (Andy Piper).
3382 Changed `install.sh' from bash to sh (Bernard Jungen).
3384 18-Sep-2000 (Release 0.1.28)
3386 Bugfix: menu entries on the pinboard menu weren't being shaded and
3391 Changed 'Rename Item' to 'Edit Icon' and allowed changing the path that
3392 the icon points to as well as its name.
3394 All i?86 platforms are treated as being equivalent (so, if you compile
3395 on a 386 then it'll still run on a 486).
3399 Pinboard icons can also be renamed.
3400 Pinboard and panel icons can have '~' or '~/' at the start of their
3401 pathnames - this should make it easier to create a system-wide default
3402 panel or pinboard with icons relative to the user's home directory.
3406 Panel icons can now be renamed (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3410 Changing the toolbar options affects existing windows, not just new ones.
3411 Removed the 'Size Bars' display style and replaced it with 'Permissions',
3412 'Type' and 'Times' styles.
3416 With items that spread over their normal width because they're on the
3417 edge of the window, clicking on the extra bit now works.
3419 Added a size limit of 400K on application icons. This is to prevent
3420 someone trying to crash the filer by linking /tmp/MyApp/AppIcon.xpm
3423 Dragging an item with the middle button when none are selected unselects
3424 the item after the drag.
3426 Added 'Show Location' feature for pinboard and panels - opens a directory
3427 showing where the file really is.
3431 Allowed items in the far right column to spread right to the edge of the
3432 window. Fixed a bug which prevented Delete from working if there was
3437 Deleting items first checks if it will affect the pinboard or panel. A
3438 warning is displayed if so.
3440 Upgraded the query dialog (from ROX-Session) - looks nicer.
3444 'Unique filer windows' option now has no effect while the spring open
3445 feature is active (spotted by Andrew Booker). Also, when opening a new
3446 window, the old window is destroyed and a new one created (rather than
3447 reusing the old one). This ensures that the new window appears in the
3450 When a drag from the pinboard or a filer window ends, the selection is
3451 only cleared if the icon was selected by starting the drag. Thus, it now
3452 works like the panels.
3456 New Close toolbar button (requested by Martin Ward).
3457 Toolbar icons can be turned on and off from the Options box.
3458 Removed the 'Mount' menu entry, since 'Shift Open' does it too.
3459 Made the Shift Open menu text change depending on what is selected.
3460 Bugfix: dragging icons around no longer saved the new pinboard state!
3464 Running a second copy of the filer as another user will start a new copy
3465 instead of reusing the existing one. Added the '-u' option to display the
3466 name of the user running the filer in each window (also suppresses the
3467 normal don't-run-as-root warning).
3469 Added '-d', which opens a directory as a directory, even if it looks like
3474 Added Large and Small toolbar buttons. Right-clicking brings up a menu.
3478 Moved 'Set Run Action' to the file menu (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon), and
3479 made using it bring up a dialog rather than a minibuffer. Hopefully it is now
3482 Added much improved icons for executables and for applications without icons
3483 of their own (Victor Liu See-le).
3485 Allow '/' on the pinboard and panel (text wasn't displayed - spotted by
3488 Bugfix: auto-scrolling didn't always stop when a drag ended.
3489 Bugfix: creating a panel with the same name as a file in the current
3490 directory caused an error due to a throwback from when panels were
3491 directories (spotted by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3493 30-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.27)
3495 Increased the distance you have to move the pointer to start a drag
3496 slightly. Updated the manual.
3498 Panel icons can now be moved from one side to the other by simply moving
3499 over the gap in the middle. Previously, you had to jump over an icon on
3502 Left and right panels look better now. Also, they shrink if you add a top
3503 or bottom panel to make room.
3507 Dragging on the panel background allows you to slide the bar back and
3512 Fixed a slight bug with lasso boxes, which could cause them to be drawn in
3513 the wrong place. Install script no longer overwrites the default run
3514 actions; if the user has changed them leave them alone!
3515 (Martin Ward noted that symlinking to an executable would cause the
3516 executable to be destroyed on upgrade!)
3520 More improvements to the event handling. Seems to be working again at
3522 Made the toolbar buttons slightly larger, and added a textual display
3523 for 'Next Click' mode (eg 'Delete ... ?' when it's waiting for you to
3525 Moved the pinboard over to the new mouse binding code too.
3529 Started rewriting the event handling for filer windows to go through
3530 the new code in bind.c, like the panel handling does.
3534 You can now drag icons from the panel to other applications.
3538 Dragging panel icons with the middle button allows you to move them around.
3540 New option to set the default height for new filer windows (patch from
3545 Selecting panel icons now grabs the primary selection. Pasting pastes all
3546 selected file path names. Icons can now be added to either side of the panel.
3548 Bug fix: Moving a file didn't always update the source directory.
3552 Many improvements to the panel - drag and drop to icons, adding new icons,
3553 selections (doesn't grab the primary selection yet though), removing icons
3554 and automatically saving the panel when it's changed.
3558 Improved reference counting on images (hopefully!). Lots of work on
3559 rewriting the panel system.
3563 Made the timeout for the spring-open feature configurable (requested by
3566 Use short form of --version in install.sh and don't use unsetenv() if it
3567 isn't available (Mattias Engdegård).
3571 New options to set the pinboard text foreground and background colours
3572 (suggested by James Kermode).
3576 Your home directory is now displayed as '~' in the title bar, rather
3577 than as a full path.
3579 01-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.26)
3581 Added a popup menu of commonly used chmod strings to the Permissions
3582 box. Bracketed text and spaces are now ignored in the commands.
3583 Bug fix: Only menu keys changed since the last load were saved!
3587 Bug fix: Mount points on the pinboard didn't always redraw when the
3588 mounted/unmounted state changed.
3592 Renaming now uses the action windows. This means that you can now
3593 rename something onto another filesystem.
3597 The menu key bindings are now only saved if they actually changed.
3599 Code tidying: Moved some typedefs to the new `global.h' file and
3600 thus removed the dependencies between header files :-)
3604 Tab and Shift-Tab move to next and previous selected item.
3608 The new display styles can now be saved as the defaults (bug spotted by
3611 When autoscrolling is used, prevent the last-highlighted directory
3612 from springing open. 'spring open' now defaults to off.
3614 The toolbar Up and Home buttons can act as drop targets (and spring open
3617 Options to set the pinboard text background style (suggested by James
3622 Added an option to control the spring-loading feature. Added tooltips
3623 to some of the options. Improved the rule for deciding whether to open
3624 a new window when you click on the toolbar buttons.
3626 Stopped the spring-open window moving while it's open (prevents a bug
3627 in GTK+ from causing problems). Please use GTK+ 1.2.8 or later now!
3629 Dragging near the edge of a window scrolls. Improved the lasso box drag
3630 to use the same system (so it scrolls without you having to move the
3635 Added 'spring-loaded' directories. If you drag a file over a directory and
3636 hold it there, the directory will spring open! (suggested by Barney
3641 In the path entry minibuffer, an exact match is favoured over any other
3642 match. So, if you enter '.xsession' and press Return you'll get it, not
3643 '.xsession-errors' or whatever!
3645 The filer now clears APP_DIR from the environment so that child processes
3646 don't get it. Fixed a bug which caused problems when using a small version
3647 of the 'missing image' image.
3651 Creating a new directory now makes sure the display is updated.
3653 18-Jul-2000 (Release 0.1.25)
3655 Prevent dragging from a pinboard selection to itself, or onto the desktop
3660 Clicking on the root window works (button-1 clears the selection,
3661 button-3 opens the pinboard menu). The pinboard can own the primary
3662 selection, which means that you can select something and then paste
3663 its name into another program.
3665 Keys bound to menu entries are automatically saved when the filer quits.
3669 Changed the install script so that the CVS directories don't get installed.
3671 The 'rox' script now just calls AppRun directly.
3672 Panels can be created without starting a new copy of the filer.
3673 The pinboard can be changed or removed by using --pinboard a second time.
3675 Files can be given as arguments - they are opened as if they were clicked
3676 on in a filer window (suggested by Alex Holden). If no arguments are
3677 given then the default is now the current directory (not your home
3680 If you start the leafname in the path minibuffer with '.' then the Show
3681 Hidden feature is temporarily turned on.
3685 Ctrl-clicking selects and unselects pinboard icons. Menu clicking
3686 selects the icon clicked on while the menu is open. Pinned icons are
3687 now updated when the pointer moves over them, if necessary.
3691 Menu-clicking on a pinboard icon now brings up a menu.
3692 Clicks on the root window are still ignored though; need to support
3693 the GNOME-compliant window manager system for passing root clicks on...
3697 Files can now be dragged to pinboard icons, and they highlight nicely too!
3698 If the --override option is used, the filer will bypass the window manager
3699 and position the icons directly.
3703 Pinboard icons can now be dragged to filer windows or applications, just
3708 Changed the DnD code to make it easier for the pinboard code to use it.
3709 Up and Home buttons on the toolbar now use the 'New window on button 1'
3710 option setting (suggested by Vincent Lefèvre).
3714 Pinboard can have mount points and symlinks on it.
3718 Dragging with the Menu button moves icons around. Clicking with the
3719 other button removes icons from the pinboard.
3723 Dragging files to the pinboard adds them to it and automatically saves
3728 Pinboard is now loaded from a file specified on the command line.
3732 'Home' now appears on the background if you run it with --pinboard.
3733 Clicking opens your home directory. Doesn't do much else.
3734 Fixed a bug which prevented the minibuffer label from appearing on
3735 some versions of GTK+.
3739 First steps towards pinboard support (requested by P.S.S.Camp and
3744 Changed the Display menu layout - now there are four basic types (Large or
3745 Small, with or without details) and the type of detail desired is chosen
3746 from a sub-sub-menu.
3748 Added a new display style - bars showing the sizes of the files. The bars are
3749 drawn on a log scale.
3753 Changed the display menu - you can now choose large or small icons, with or
3754 without details. The details displayed can also be changed. I'm not quite
3755 happy with the UI yet though...
3757 Split the filer.c source file into two (filer.c and display.c) since it was
3758 becoming rather unwieldy. This means that some of the option names have
3759 changed because they've moved to a new section in the options window...
3763 Fixed a problem where ImLib support failed on multi-depth displays (reported
3764 by Stephen Harrison).
3766 06-Jun-2000 (Release 0.1.24)
3768 Added the install.sh script for easier installation.
3769 Removed 'MIME-info' file from ROX-Filer - now we always assume that the
3770 standard types are in Choices.
3771 Fixed a bug which could cause 'top' panels to appear in the wrong place
3773 Changed the sort order for Sort By Type so that directories come before
3774 files (suggested by Chris Garrett).
3775 `Single-click navigation' and 'Ignore case when sorting' now both default
3780 Improved the theme support to allow tiled background images.
3781 Fixed a bug which prevented tilde expansion from working in the
3782 shell command minibuffer.
3786 Made the help button look a bit nicer and changed the Find and Permissions
3787 action windows to use the icon instead of a text button.
3788 Removed the 3D borders from the help and toolbar buttons when not selected
3789 (looks much better!). Setting a run action by dragging to a symlink now
3790 dereferences the link (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3792 Default search path for Choices is now:
3793 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
3795 Fixed (possibly) a bug which sometimes causes the redraw to miss bits. This
3796 probably slows everything down, but the next Gtk+ release should do double
3797 buffering so all this will get changed then...
3801 Added a Help icon to the toolbar, which does the same as choosing `Show
3802 ROX-Filer Help' from the menu.
3806 Started adding some code to truncate long filenames (not finished yet).
3807 Fixed a bug which could cause directories to appear empty when using VFS.
3808 Added the 'Select If' minibuffer, which selects all files matching the
3813 Moved most of the icons from pixmaps to MIME-icons (outside ROX-Filer).
3814 Updated several of the remaining icons by copying them from the GNOME
3815 desktop (suggested by Volker Braun).
3818 16-May-2000 (Release 0.1.23)
3820 Added the `Window->Set Run Action' menu item. This allows you to specify the
3821 default run action for a file by simply dragging the file into a program.
3822 You can also enter a shell command in the minibuffer to make that command
3824 The cursor is a bit nicer and usually appears where you want it to now. You
3825 can also get rid of it by pressing Escape.
3829 Applied Bernard's patch (a couple of cosmetic changes to the action windows).
3830 Applied Vincent's patch (minor updates to the Frech translation).
3831 Fixed a problem with the pixmap caching - the filer would detect that the
3832 file had changed and try to reload it, but ImLib would simply return its
3837 Removed a debugging message that had somehow got into the release version :-(
3838 Fixed a bug in the minibuffer code - pressing Return when the cursor was in
3839 an empty directory caused odd effects.
3841 24-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.22)
3843 When starting, the filer will check to see if it is already running.
3844 If it is then the arguments are passed to that copy.
3848 Bug fix: Attempting to open a Find preview window could cause a crash
3849 if the directory containing the item could not be opened.
3850 Button-3 clicking on the toolbar icons opens a new window.
3855 Added Vincent Lefevre's French translation. Changed to using my own
3856 gettext function because some platforms don't have it or implement
3859 18-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.21)
3861 Completed marking translatable strings. Dragging with the middle button
3866 Made lots of changes to the way menus are stored; this makes i18n of the
3871 Added GNU gettext support.
3872 Shell meta-characters in shell commands are escaped.
3876 Tab in the shell commands minibuffer does shell-style completion.
3878 14-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.20)
3880 ImLib is used for rendering if possible. Small Icons super-samples the
3885 Copying from inside a VFS directory now works.
3889 Added the Shell Command feature to the minibuffer.
3890 Fixed a bug which causes unnecessary flickering when a hidden file was
3892 Removed 'Touch' from the menu; easy enough from the minibuffer now.
3893 Changed the type guessing system - scans all files in MIME-info directories
3898 Added a nice list displaying the found files. Clicking opens a preview window
3899 onto the directory and winks the file.
3903 Merged the MIME-Type and Special fields in the info window into a single
3904 Type field (since only one could be used at a time anyway).
3905 Made lots of changes to the panel menu. You can now remove things much more
3907 Unstat()able files now display the error message in the Full Info display,
3908 instead of random values.
3909 Check for copying a directory onto itself, as well as into itself.
3911 Applied Bernard's patch:
3912 - Copy (menu entry) now works with action window.
3913 - Deleted/moved directory displays are automatically hidden.
3914 - Added option not to allow run/copy when object
3915 dragged to filer (not panels) icons. Some people like
3916 it the RISC OS way...
3917 - Full info alignment of App objects and owner/group
3918 alignment corrected.
3919 - Info window: added special info for symlinks, apps
3924 Added support for mc's Virtual File System.
3928 New Window appears greyed out if Unique Windows is selected.
3929 Added 'Permissions' (chmod) feature.
3933 Added Bernard Jungen's patch:
3934 - Dates are displayed in a more RISC OS like format.
3935 - (Scanning) is shown in the titlebar during scans.
3936 - Option to only display one window per directory.
3937 - User and group names displayed in the Full Info view.
3938 - Open Parent in the root does nothing.
3939 - Errors in options are only reported once.
3940 - File does chdir() if -b isn't possible (prevents getting the full path
3941 in the file(1) says... box).
