2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
7 Method of scaling pinboard images is now an option, as the default could
8 produce poor results on some systems (Stephen Watson).
12 Updated it.po and Manual-it.xml (Yuri Bongiorno)
16 Bugfix: Dragging a lasso box above the top of the window in details mode
17 selected all the items outside the box (Thomas Leonard; reported by
22 Only show executable files in green if clicking would actually run them, not
23 just because they have the execute bit set (Thomas Leonard).
27 Much faster thumbnail generation (Ken Hayber, reported by Anthony DiSante).
31 When closing a filer window showing a directory under a user-mounted
32 mount-point, offer to unmount the device if no other filer window also shows
33 that mount point (requested by Tony Houghton and others). Also do this check
34 when changing to a parent directory.
35 Scale iconified window icons on the pinboard down to normal size (Ken Hayber).
39 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
43 Work on the action box, including a progress bar (Stephen Watson).
47 Added PinboardRemove() SOAP call (Stephen Watson).
49 20-Oct-2004 (Release 2.1.4)

63 Updated it.po and Manual-it (Yuri Bongiorno).
67 Use a higher quality setting when scaling the backdrop image (Ken Hayber).
71 Added PanelRemove() SOAP call (Sabin Iacob).
72 Bugfix: Mounting a directory that was accessed through a symlinked directory
73 used the symbolic path, confusing the mount command (Thomas Leonard;
74 reported by Anthony DiSante).
78 Force panel to not take focus when using GTK 2.4 (Thomas Leonard).
82 Minimum width of toolbar now an option (requested by Matthew Weier O'Phinney).
86 Only examine items that are actually displayed, not all items in a directory.
87 Saves checking hidden files, which typically speeds up opening the home
88 directory. Removed an unnecessary extra scan when opening a directory
89 with the default filter setting. Removed the double scan when clicking Refresh
90 and two windows show the same directory (Thomas Leonard).
94 Added option to make panels have the type _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK (Tony
95 Houghton). Metacity needs this.
99 If we can't guess a file's type from its name or extended attribute, try
100 looking at its contents too, if we have gnomevfs 2.8.0 or later available
105 Panel and pinboard icons can now have a single argument set for them.
106 If you need more than one argument, consider creating a wrapper
111 Added --massif option for profiling memory usage (Thomas Leonard).
112 Warn about missing libsm in configure.in (reported by fedewico).
116 When resizing a window, only warp the pointer as much as necessary to keep

121 Ensure that a panel applet's properties are set before starting the applet
122 (reported by Tony Houghton).
126 Fixed panel menu positioning for multiple monitors with different resolutions
128 Use _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW to raise and lower the panel (Tony Houghton). Not
129 changing to type DOCK yet as it breaks some WMs.
133 Use new GTK 2.2 functions to set window hints now that we don't support 2.0
134 anymore (Guido Schimmels).
138 Plug a memory leak when loading SVG type icons (Stephen Watson).
142 Fix for the Solaris extended attribute support (Stephen Watson).
146 Set minimum width of toolbar so that all buttons are visible (Stephen Watson).
150 When adding an entry to the Recently Visited menu, remove its parent directory.
151 This stops the list filling up with near-duplicates when you have deeply
152 nested directories (Thomas Leonard).
156 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
160 For debugging, show the failed URI when dragging to the pinboard (Thomas
165 Use Help icon instead of Info icon for popup help buttons (Thomas Leonard).
169 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
171 01-Aug-2004 (Release 2.1.3)
173 Build in ROX-Filer/build, not ~/build/ROX-Filer.
177 Renamed Cancel to Close in the Properties box (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
178 Updated some calls to use newer APIs, and allow compilation on systems where
179 deprecated widgets are disabled by default (reported by Vincent Lefèvre and
181 Bugfix: Panel icons were no longer shown highlighted when selected.
185 Bugfix: When opening a new directory with saved settings, the filer would
186 print a warning and then crash.
190 Changed email address given as the one to send bugs to when using
191 --help to the rox-devel list (Stephen Watson).

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

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

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

497 If a panel icon has an empty label, show it full size (requested by Stephen
502 Use apsymbols.h (from autopackage.org) if possible for binary compatibility
503 with older glibc versions. Use g_ascii_* functions instead of the ctypes ones
505 Bugfix: Files with '&' in their names couldn't be saved in groups (reported
506 by Nils-Erik Svangård).
510 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
511 Resizing by double clicking on background now optional (Stephen Watson).
515 Added optional top and bottom margines for iconized window placement
520 Don't lower the panel due when the pointer 'leaves' due to a grab (eg, clicking
521 or opening a menu). This also prevents a flickering problem with Openbox 3.
525 Bugfix: FreeBSD reported file sizes with units of 'null' due to large file
526 support not being detected (igla).
530 Larger default size for bookmarks editor (requested by Matthew Weier OPhinney).
534 Let the thumbnail helpers be app dirs, plus can be set from the Set Icon
535 dialog (Stephen Watson).
539 Improved socket icon (taken from Howard Shane's new theme).
543 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
544 Updated German translation (Guido Schimmels).
545 Offer Eject even for unmounted disks (reported by Matthew Weier O'Phinney).

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

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

632 Bugfix: Didn't use XDG_DATA_DIRS to find type descriptions.
636 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
640 Allow types other than image/* to have thumbnails, although we can't
641 generate them yet (Stephen Watson).
642 Added Eject menu option for unmounted mount points (Stephen Watson).
646 Doing a Refresh in a directory under /uri/0install triggers a remote refresh.
650 Less frame-heavy look for info box (Thomas Leonard).
651 When mounting, force a refresh even if the mtime of the new disk is the same,
652 since some formats don't change it. Also, if mounting gives an error, check to
653 see if it worked anyway (Thomas Leonard).
657 Added sort and selection buttons to the toolbar. They start off disabled,
658 enable them from Options->Tools if you want them (Stephen Watson).
660 Escape text/uri-list for drag and drop operations (Stephen Watson).
664 Don't show hidden files on the SendTo menu (reported by Arnaud Calvo).

677 Updated italian translation in AppInfo.xml and src/po/it.po (Yuri Bongiorno)
681 When renaming a non-UTF8 file, still assume the directory is valid UTF-8
682 (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
686 Sort items on the SendTo menu (requested by John Pettigrew).
690 Removed the menu-on-button-2 option. It was too inconsistant with everything
691 else, including panel applets and window managers, to be useful. Edit bind.c if
696 Button-2 drags on panel applets always work now, even if the applet doesn't
697 forward them explicitly.
701 Fix scrolling problem with GTK+-2.2.2 (reported by Alastair Porter, with
702 help from Götz Waschk).

786 Updated install script to use new XDG Base Directory spec (reported by
788 Also install man pages under 'share/man'.

793 console, since some terminal applications try to read from the console,
794 freezing X (Keith R. John Warno).
795 Forward scroll events on pinboard to window manager, and add option to
796 workaround *box issues (Matthew Weier O'Phinney).

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

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

2127 conversion fails (Stephen Watson).
2129 Deleting a symlink to a pinboard or panel icon showed a warning, even though
2130 there was no danger, because it followed the symlink. Trying to copy a symlink
2131 inside the directory it pointed to failed for the same reason.
2135 Big changes to internationalisation for pinboards and panels to fix problems
2136 with incompatible character sets (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
2137 When creating thumbnails, create to a temporary file and rename in case another
2138 program tries to write the save thumbnail at the same time.
2139 As a special case, running with just '-v' doesn't call gtk_init, allowing
2140 installing without an X server (requested by Michael Duelli).
2144 Converter for old-format config files now stops if the file looks like
2145 XML (probably from a failed conversion).

2271 With Gtk+-2.0 UTF-8 converstion, the filer now converts from the charset
2272 specified in the translation (was always using iso-8859-1).
2276 If thumbnailing is cancelled, it can be resumed later. Hiding thumbnails
2277 stops any scan in progress automatically. Added 'All' and 'Thumbs' status
2282 New 'Show image thumnails' option to set this as the default (requested by
2284 Got details working again with Gtk+-1.2 (spotted by Kristian Rink).
2288 New thumbnail system. 'Create Thumbs' is now 'Show Thumbnails' and can

2290 bar is displayed in the filer window.

2295 Improved error reporting.
2296 Improved sizing code when details are on.

2302 check box and does 'Yes'.

2308 Added a missing #ifdef for the regex code (Damien Couderc).

2329 Target mode, dragging an unselected item, and auto-selecting an item when
2330 opening the menu now all work without grabbing the primary selection.

2336 now reclaims the selection.
2337 Removed default minibuffer option for now.
2338 The dash forms in Find tests can be combined, eg '-rwx'.

2344 icons are marked as desktop features (requested by Laurent Moussault).
2345 Thumbnails are now stored using an md5 hash of their names.
2346 Pinboard icons can be repositioned by dragging with the left mouse button
2347 (middle button drag stopped working with sawfish, and this is easier anyway).
2351 New scanning system: blank items are added to the window first and then the
2352 icons and types get filled in later. Looks better and simplifies the sizing
2354 Code tidying in various places.
2358 Bugfix: Filer would quit if only Info boxes were open.
2359 Bugfix: Pinboard and panel windows didn't get the correct hints set under

2365 efficient now, and easier to get aa fonts working...
2369 Fixed Gtk+-2.0 wheel mouse support.
2370 In the Info box, 'File says...' was reporting on the program used to

2380 of the SOAP working draft.
2381 Added Large File Support: files over 4Gb now have their sizes detected

2389 it was in the displayed area before.
2391 When closing the Enter Path minibuffer, keep Show Hidden on if the cursor is
2394 When using --show with a hidden file, turn on Show Hidden. Also, delay the
2395 winking effect until the window actually appears.

2400 so they redisplay quickly next time the filer is loaded (requested by
2401 Kristian A. Rink and others).
2403 Bugfix: Toggling the section with a middle button drag could lose the primary
2404 selection (Andras Mohari).
2408 Use gtk_set_locale instead of setlocale (Andras Mohari).
2412 Added 'Invert Selection' (Stephen Watson; suggested by Andras Mohari).
2416 Added a new root window property (_ROX_FILER_EUID_HOST) which points to
2417 the SOAP IPC window for a particular hostname and user ID. This makes it
2418 easier for other programs to talk to the filer.

2426 Moved 'Select All', 'Clear Selection' and 'Select If...' to a new 'Select'
2428 The filer now closes stdin when it starts. This is to prevent child

2430 the console (Olivier Fourdan).
2434 Manpage is now generated automatically from DocBook source.
2435 Short forms for many find expressions, such as -d for IsDir (suggested by

2483 width or height of zero (Andras Mohari).

2496 (requested by Graham Borland).
2497 Added 'Types' section to the Options window, allowing easy(ish) access
2498 to the MIME-info files, plus a reload button, and icons for MIME-types can

2506 Bugfix: 'New Directory' didn't correctly select the leafname with Gtk+-2.0.
2510 Added Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
2511 Applied Bernard Jungen's latest patch:
2512 - Disk usage forgot to count special files like pipes, etc.
2513 - Page up/down scrolls a window full at a time instead of 10 items.
2514 - Don't get icons from the cache if thumbnail mode is off anymore.
2515 - modechange.c: deleted useless stuff and fixed octal parsing to detect
2516 *all* illegal values (eg 010000000000000).
2517 - Added 'Show/hide hidden files' toolbar button.
2518 - Lots of code tidying.

2552 option to access it directly.
2556 Open new windows at the mouse position (suggested by Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson).
2557 Bugfix: If file doesn't accept the '-b' option then examining a file in
2558 the root directory didn't work (Stephen Watson).
2562 Use --version instead of 'which' to test for programs as not everyone has
2563 which (suggested by Vincent Lefevre).
2564 Bugfix: When setting an icon for a file with a space in the name, the
2565 setting wasn't saved correctly (spotted by Arnaud Calvo and Jakub
2566 Turski). The 'globicons' file should be converted automatically
2567 when the filer is run.
2571 Added support for the regex field in MIME-info. This allows files to be
2572 matched with patterns, not just on their extensions. For example, '.gtkrc'
2573 is now typed 'x-gtkrc' despite having no extension (Stephen Watson and
2578 Allow AppIcon.xpm and .DirIcon.png to be symlinks (Bernard Jungen).

2607 Bugfix: When sorting while winking an item, the filer would sometimes scroll
2608 to the wrong place (Andras Mohari).

2610 selection caused a crash (Fabien Coutant).
2614 Colour files by type (Andras Mohari).
2618 Added -p to mkdir in install scripts to create any missing parent
2619 directories (Michel Alexandre Salim).

2669 The 'src/po/dist' script now converts all text to UTF-8.
2673 Fixed some problems with the configure.in script and autoconf 2.50 (Richard
2678 Updated Dutch translation (Jasper Huijsmans).
2679 Send To menu lists contents of all Send To directories in Choices, not just
2680 the first one found.
2681 Fixed another XML compiling problem (Stephen Watson).
2685 Added Customise to `Send To' menu.
2689 Detached Send To menu from main menu structure. Allows key-binding to open

2691 Shift+Menu brings up the menu directly.
2695 Fixed compiling problem with some versions of libxml (Stephen Watson).
2696 Changed a text message in the Options box (about binding keys to menus) into
2697 a button which shows the message in an alert box. Maybe people will read the

2740 Added some more hints to pinboard and panel windows to comply with the new
2741 freedesktop.org window manger spec.
2745 New option to set the maximum size the auto-resizer will resize a window to
2746 (requested by Andreas Dehmel).
2750 When using the Set Run Action box, make the command default to the currently
2751 set command (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
2753 12-Jul-2001 (Release 1.1.6)
2755 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2759 Renamed 'New File' submenu to 'New' and moved 'New Directory' into it.
2763 Use the user's preferred font for item filenames, not the Gtk default

2772 Don't show tooltips for applets as it causes problems (reported by Stephen

2798 of '<Choices>/Templates' (Stephen Watson).

2804 submenu (suggested by André Wyrwa).
2808 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2809 Added a German translation (André Wyrwa).
2813 Added an extra option to control the resizing behaviour. Can be set to resize

2816 07-Jun-2001 (Release 1.1.5)
2818 Updated Russian translation (Dmitry Elfimov).
2822 Unless compiling with mc's libvfs for virtual filesystem support, change the
2823 menu structure for use with the newer AVFS system.
2824 (http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs/) (José Romildo Malaquias).

2861 icons, or just applications (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
2865 Converted the options window to a tabbed notebook (Denis Manente).
2869 Pressing the mouse button down on an icon no longer winks it; only releasing
2870 the button to run it does.
2871 Added 'Show Info' to panel/pinboard menu.
2872 The File Info box grabs the primary selection when a row is selected
2873 (allows you to paste email addresses, URLs, etc).
2877 Opening a pinboard or panel menu over an icon no longer selects it -- this
2878 allows the selection to be passed to an application run using its AppMenu
2879 (requested by Christopher Arndt).
2883 In Large Icons display style, a file's name may wrap onto a second line.
2887 Merged code for handling selections and menus that was common to pinboards

2914 Pinboards and panels should now work with IceWM without needing -o
2915 (Christopher Arndt).
2916 Allow text messages in the toolbar to go off the side (instead of resizing the
2921 Opening the shell minibuffer with a selection adds ' "$@' after the cursor.
2922 Without a selection, the name of the file under the cursor is added.
2926 Pressing the `\' key opens the menu (suggested by Christopher Arndt). Hold
2927 down Ctrl for the File submenu.
2931 Added a new 'About' section to AppInfo. Any elements in here are added
2932 into the info box. Added a 'Refresh' button to the info box.
2933 Added a ROX-Filer/Styles file for default colours (default filer background

2948 displayed in a tooltip if the mouse is held over the item in a filer

2985 the `Set Icon...' settings didn't work (reported by Damien
2990 New display style 'Huge Icons' to make viewing thumbnails easier.
2991 Added a Hungarian translation (Andras Mohari).

2999 held over the item (Denis Manente).
3001 30-Mar-2001 (Release 1.1.2)
3003 Asking for help on a directory always tries to open <dir>/Help first, even
3004 for non-applications.
3008 If run without -n, the filer will put itself in the background. Thus,
3009 the 'rox' command behaves the same whether or not the filer is already
3014 Support for the new version of libxml (reported by Andreas Dehmel).
3018 Rewrote parser for options. Smaller and neater (hopefully this will fix
3019 the bugs reported by Andreas Dehmel and Ewan Mac Mahon).
3021 Bugfix: While scanning, the resizer could make the window too large.
3025 Moving the cursor down in the next-to-last row will move to the last
3026 item if there is nothing under the cursor (suggested by Graham Borland).
3030 When changing directory, only make the window larger (if needed), never
3031 smaller (suggested by Diego Zamboni).
3035 Changing directory autosizes the window automatically (Denis Manente).
3036 Internal changes to the way different layouts are handled.
3040 Pressing space (to select/unselect an item) now also moves the cursor to
3041 the next item (suggested by Anders Lundmark).
3043 Copying directories tries to preserve the timestamps, like it does for
3044 files (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
3048 Added '--mime-type FILE' option, which simply writes the type of FILE to
3049 standard output (Stephen Watson).
3051 Added 'Home Directory' to Window menu (requested by Graham Borland).
3055 Copying a directory which doesn't have user write permission will give it
3056 user write during the copy to avoid permission denied errors (suggested by
3059 New sort option - 'Directories always come first' (requested by Liav Asseraf).
3063 Dragging a lasso box with the middle button toggles the selected state
3064 of the items enclosed (Denis Manente).
3068 Changing the display style now resizes the window (Denis Manente).
3072 New pinboards get a 'Home' icon in the top left corner as new users often
3073 think the pinboard isn't working because it starts empty (suggested by
3076 Converted AppMenu file format to XML.
3077 Added AppMenu file with options to control the pinboard.
3081 Highlight invalid Find expressions in red (Anders Lundmark).
3085 When resizing windows, try to keep the window fully inside the screen area
3090 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3094 When mounting a device, the new window appears after mounting, not before.
3095 This means that it's more likely to get sized correctly (requested by
3100 Added two new options to control when minibuffer completion beeps (requested
3105 Added 'New File...' feature (James Kermode).
3109 Dropping icons on the pinboard positions them sensibly (Diego Zamboni).
3111 09-Feb-2001 (Release 1.1.1)
3113 Moving pinboard icons is nicer - it no longer assumes you dragged the middle
3114 of the text... (Diego Zamboni).
3116 Added a Polish translation (Andrzej Borsuk).
3118 Bugfix: Sometimes it wasn't possible to delete something that was on a
3119 pinboard or panel, even after confirming (reported by Diego Zamboni).
3123 Sliders in the options box can have a numerical value display (Diego Zamboni).
3124 Fixed a stray warning message displayed when non-default pinboard options
3125 were used (Diego Zamboni).
3127 New menu item 'Set Icon...' allows you to choose any icon for any file or
3128 directory. Also allow .DirIcon.png to set a directory's icon (Diego Zamboni).
3132 Many internal changes to the Options system.
3136 Bugfix: On filesystems which aren't case sensitive (eg DOS) it was possible
3137 to copy 'tmp' as 'Tmp' and lose it! (reported by Denis Manente)
3141 Added Diego Zamboni's patch to make configuring VFS easier.
3145 Improved compiling - now correctly reports an error if the file doesn't
3146 compile. If configure is missing then autoconf is run automatically.
3148 After a Find completes, you are given the option of doing the search again
3151 Applications can define a list of menu items to display on their menus
3152 (Diego Zamboni). The file should be called 'AppMenu' and contains a list of
3153 lines in the form 'option Text'.
3157 Added two new pinboard options - one to allow setting the grid step size
3158 and one to allow icons to go slightly off the side of the screen (Diego
3163 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds could cause a crash (reported by Diego
3168 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3170 Bugfix: The pixbuf stuff didn't work on some displays (reported by Stephen
3173 20-Jan-2001 (Release 1.1.0)
3175 Removed the 'Initial window height' option. The filer tries to pick a
3176 sensible shape itself now.
3178 Bugfix: If an image was moved to a directory which didn't generate thumbs
3179 then it would display, but never be updated. Even if it wasn't that
3180 file at all, just a reused inode!
3181 Bugfix: Changing the display style didn't always redraw the display.
3182 Bugfix: In 'Small, With...' display mode, clicking beyond the far right
3183 column acted like clicking on the far-right column.
3187 Changed background colour to be more compatible with the Gtk themes system.
3191 Removed all the message window stuff. ROX-Filer no longer grabs standard
3192 error from its child processes. Changed because ROX-Session now does a much
3197 Filer is more generous in what hostnames it considers local.
3198 Patch to include pixbuf headers correctly (Diego Zamboni).
3202 Bug fix: Didn't always use the fully qualified host name for DnD.
3206 If a file has a known extension then it is given the appropriate type even
3207 if the file is executable (Simon Britnell).
3211 Added a menu entry 'Resize Window' to set the window to a sensible size
3216 Try to open new windows at a sensible size for their contents (Denis Manente).
3220 Bugfix: When mounting or unmounting subdirectories of '/', the mount symbol
3221 wasn't updated (reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3225 Fixed a couple of memory leaks in the choices system (Diego Zamboni).
3226 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3227 Added new 'Create Thumbs' entry on the Display menu which tries to load
3228 every file in the directory as an image and use that image for the file
3229 (suggested by Sprague and Simon Britnell).
3233 Converted to use gdk-pixbuf instead of ImLib.
3234 Fixed a few compiler warnings and improved the error message displayed
3235 if you try to invoke rox on a missing file (reported by Vincent Lefèvre).
3236 Changed the -w, -W and -i flags to the simpler -x=FILE, which reexamines the
3237 given file, updating directory views and icons as needed.
3241 AppIcon.xpm must be a regular file (stops people trying to crash the
3242 filer by symlinking to /dev/...).
3243 Fixed a missing translation in the pinboard options (Denis Manente).
3247 Attempting to run the filer before compiling will now ask if you want
3249 Removed lots of platform-specific mount point code and replaced it with
3250 python's portable system.
3251 New options section allows you to choose a translation without having to
3252 set the LANG variable.
3256 Added '-w', '-i' and '-W' command line options for forcing icons or
3257 directories to be rescanned (Diego Zamboni).
3259 13-Dec-2000 (Release 1.0.0)
3261 Made a few updates to the manual.
3265 Fixes to make compiling easier on Solaris (Diego Zamboni). Also, after showing
3266 a pinboard icon, tries to send it to the back (might help with some WMs).
3268 04-Dec-2000 (Release 0.1.30)
3270 When a panel is used for the first time, put the user's home directory and
3271 the directory containing ROX-Filer on it instead of leaving it blank.
3275 Patch to make compiling easier under FreeBSD (Jimmy Olgeni).
3276 Added a #include for OSF1 (Vincent Lefevre).
3280 Bugfix: On many systems, the filer would fail to remove zombie processes
3281 due to a typo (spotted by Philip Hazel and tracked down by Stephen
3286 Bugfix: Removing an item from the panel now resizes the panel (reported
3287 by Wilbert Berendsen).
3288 Bugfix: Editing an icon's path failed to update its hash entry.
3292 If a case-sensitve match for an extension can't be found then try a
3293 case-insensitive match - so .BMP and similar work (Denis Manente).
3297 A few changes to remove some compiler warnings (reported by Vincent Lefevre).
3298 Added a VFS menu entry for .deb files (Vincent Ledda).
3302 Mounting or unmounting a directory forces mtab to be reread, even if the
3303 timestamp hasn't changed (problem reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3305 When the 'Unique windows' option is on, remove the old window AFTER creating
3306 the new one, so that the filer doesn't quit because there are zero windows
3307 open... (Denis Manente).
3311 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3315 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3317 Using --version and --help options no longer requires an X server connection,
3318 the man-pages are more standard, and 'man ROX-Filer' is allowed as well as
3319 'man rox' (Bernard Jungen).
3321 Bugfix: A corrupted AppIcon.xpm could crash the filer.
3323 24-Oct-2000 (Release 0.1.29)
3325 Code tidying: Replaced an XLib call with a gdk one (Denis Manente) and amended
3326 the makedist script to remove the .cvsignore files (spotted by Andy
3331 Improved the install script so that it installs the man-page. Also made it
3332 easier to use. Updated the French translation and fixed a couple of
3333 typos (Vincent Lefèvre).
3337 Gtk+ doesn't always scroll entry widgets to show the selection - apply a
3338 workaround (Denis Manente) - this improves the Copy/Rename/etc boxes.
3342 Added a Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3346 Added an Italian translation (Denis Manente).
3350 Bugfix: If AppRun was a symlink, then the owner of the file was checked, not
3351 the owner of the symlink. Slight security risk, and also prevented
3352 users symlinking AppRun to their binaries...
3356 Bugfix: Deleting a pinboard icon while it was highlighted caused a crash.
3357 This means it is now possible to click on a pinboard icon to change
3358 between pinboards...
3360 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds didn't redraw correctly when scrolled
3361 or resized. Now flickers when resizing if there's a textured
3362 background - seems to be necessary :-(
3366 Running as root now simply turns on the -u flag, rather than displaying
3369 The toolbar height is now correctly taken into account when sizing a new filer
3370 window (Denis Manente).
3372 When guessing file types from extensions, the filer now tries to find the
3373 longest extension that matches (eg .ps.gz, then .gz).
3377 The lasso box is now drawn so that the box will be in the foreground colour
3378 over the background, rather than by just inverting the pixel value and hoping
3379 it's visible (spotted by Philip Hazel).
3383 If the home directory is '/' then don't show it as '~' (suggested by
3386 Added '--show=FILE' option - this will be needed by other ROX
3387 applications, so it needs to be in version 1.0.0.
3389 Bugfix: -d option didn't use realpath before sending to an already-running
3394 The 'install.sh' script now uses 'printf' instead of 'echo -e' to suppress
3395 newlines (suggested by Bernard Jungen).
3397 Bugfix: Close tool was always disabled on startup (reported by Martin Ward).
3401 Added a man-page (Andy Piper).
3402 Changed `install.sh' from bash to sh (Bernard Jungen).
3404 18-Sep-2000 (Release 0.1.28)
3406 Bugfix: menu entries on the pinboard menu weren't being shaded and
3411 Changed 'Rename Item' to 'Edit Icon' and allowed changing the path that
3412 the icon points to as well as its name.
3414 All i?86 platforms are treated as being equivalent (so, if you compile
3415 on a 386 then it'll still run on a 486).
3419 Pinboard icons can also be renamed.
3420 Pinboard and panel icons can have '~' or '~/' at the start of their
3421 pathnames - this should make it easier to create a system-wide default
3422 panel or pinboard with icons relative to the user's home directory.
3426 Panel icons can now be renamed (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3430 Changing the toolbar options affects existing windows, not just new ones.
3431 Removed the 'Size Bars' display style and replaced it with 'Permissions',
3432 'Type' and 'Times' styles.
3436 With items that spread over their normal width because they're on the
3437 edge of the window, clicking on the extra bit now works.
3439 Added a size limit of 400K on application icons. This is to prevent
3440 someone trying to crash the filer by linking /tmp/MyApp/AppIcon.xpm
3443 Dragging an item with the middle button when none are selected unselects
3444 the item after the drag.
3446 Added 'Show Location' feature for pinboard and panels - opens a directory
3447 showing where the file really is.
3451 Allowed items in the far right column to spread right to the edge of the
3452 window. Fixed a bug which prevented Delete from working if there was
3457 Deleting items first checks if it will affect the pinboard or panel. A
3458 warning is displayed if so.
3460 Upgraded the query dialog (from ROX-Session) - looks nicer.
3464 'Unique filer windows' option now has no effect while the spring open
3465 feature is active (spotted by Andrew Booker). Also, when opening a new
3466 window, the old window is destroyed and a new one created (rather than
3467 reusing the old one). This ensures that the new window appears in the
3470 When a drag from the pinboard or a filer window ends, the selection is
3471 only cleared if the icon was selected by starting the drag. Thus, it now
3472 works like the panels.
3476 New Close toolbar button (requested by Martin Ward).
3477 Toolbar icons can be turned on and off from the Options box.
3478 Removed the 'Mount' menu entry, since 'Shift Open' does it too.
3479 Made the Shift Open menu text change depending on what is selected.
3480 Bugfix: dragging icons around no longer saved the new pinboard state!
3484 Running a second copy of the filer as another user will start a new copy
3485 instead of reusing the existing one. Added the '-u' option to display the
3486 name of the user running the filer in each window (also suppresses the
3487 normal don't-run-as-root warning).
3489 Added '-d', which opens a directory as a directory, even if it looks like
3494 Added Large and Small toolbar buttons. Right-clicking brings up a menu.
3498 Moved 'Set Run Action' to the file menu (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon), and
3499 made using it bring up a dialog rather than a minibuffer. Hopefully it is now
3502 Added much improved icons for executables and for applications without icons
3503 of their own (Victor Liu See-le).
3505 Allow '/' on the pinboard and panel (text wasn't displayed - spotted by
3508 Bugfix: auto-scrolling didn't always stop when a drag ended.
3509 Bugfix: creating a panel with the same name as a file in the current
3510 directory caused an error due to a throwback from when panels were
3511 directories (spotted by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3513 30-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.27)
3515 Increased the distance you have to move the pointer to start a drag
3516 slightly. Updated the manual.
3518 Panel icons can now be moved from one side to the other by simply moving
3519 over the gap in the middle. Previously, you had to jump over an icon on
3522 Left and right panels look better now. Also, they shrink if you add a top
3523 or bottom panel to make room.
3527 Dragging on the panel background allows you to slide the bar back and
3532 Fixed a slight bug with lasso boxes, which could cause them to be drawn in
3533 the wrong place. Install script no longer overwrites the default run
3534 actions; if the user has changed them leave them alone!
3535 (Martin Ward noted that symlinking to an executable would cause the
3536 executable to be destroyed on upgrade!)
3540 More improvements to the event handling. Seems to be working again at
3542 Made the toolbar buttons slightly larger, and added a textual display
3543 for 'Next Click' mode (eg 'Delete ... ?' when it's waiting for you to
3545 Moved the pinboard over to the new mouse binding code too.
3549 Started rewriting the event handling for filer windows to go through
3550 the new code in bind.c, like the panel handling does.
3554 You can now drag icons from the panel to other applications.
3558 Dragging panel icons with the middle button allows you to move them around.
3560 New option to set the default height for new filer windows (patch from
3565 Selecting panel icons now grabs the primary selection. Pasting pastes all
3566 selected file path names. Icons can now be added to either side of the panel.
3568 Bug fix: Moving a file didn't always update the source directory.
3572 Many improvements to the panel - drag and drop to icons, adding new icons,
3573 selections (doesn't grab the primary selection yet though), removing icons
3574 and automatically saving the panel when it's changed.
3578 Improved reference counting on images (hopefully!). Lots of work on
3579 rewriting the panel system.
3583 Made the timeout for the spring-open feature configurable (requested by
3586 Use short form of --version in install.sh and don't use unsetenv() if it
3587 isn't available (Mattias Engdegård).
3591 New options to set the pinboard text foreground and background colours
3592 (suggested by James Kermode).
3596 Your home directory is now displayed as '~' in the title bar, rather
3597 than as a full path.
3599 01-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.26)
3601 Added a popup menu of commonly used chmod strings to the Permissions
3602 box. Bracketed text and spaces are now ignored in the commands.
3603 Bug fix: Only menu keys changed since the last load were saved!
3607 Bug fix: Mount points on the pinboard didn't always redraw when the
3608 mounted/unmounted state changed.
3612 Renaming now uses the action windows. This means that you can now
3613 rename something onto another filesystem.
3617 The menu key bindings are now only saved if they actually changed.
3619 Code tidying: Moved some typedefs to the new `global.h' file and
3620 thus removed the dependencies between header files :-)
3624 Tab and Shift-Tab move to next and previous selected item.
3628 The new display styles can now be saved as the defaults (bug spotted by
3631 When autoscrolling is used, prevent the last-highlighted directory
3632 from springing open. 'spring open' now defaults to off.
3634 The toolbar Up and Home buttons can act as drop targets (and spring open
3637 Options to set the pinboard text background style (suggested by James
3642 Added an option to control the spring-loading feature. Added tooltips
3643 to some of the options. Improved the rule for deciding whether to open
3644 a new window when you click on the toolbar buttons.
3646 Stopped the spring-open window moving while it's open (prevents a bug
3647 in GTK+ from causing problems). Please use GTK+ 1.2.8 or later now!
3649 Dragging near the edge of a window scrolls. Improved the lasso box drag
3650 to use the same system (so it scrolls without you having to move the
3655 Added 'spring-loaded' directories. If you drag a file over a directory and
3656 hold it there, the directory will spring open! (suggested by Barney
3661 In the path entry minibuffer, an exact match is favoured over any other
3662 match. So, if you enter '.xsession' and press Return you'll get it, not
3663 '.xsession-errors' or whatever!
3665 The filer now clears APP_DIR from the environment so that child processes
3666 don't get it. Fixed a bug which caused problems when using a small version
3667 of the 'missing image' image.
3671 Creating a new directory now makes sure the display is updated.
3673 18-Jul-2000 (Release 0.1.25)
3675 Prevent dragging from a pinboard selection to itself, or onto the desktop
3680 Clicking on the root window works (button-1 clears the selection,
3681 button-3 opens the pinboard menu). The pinboard can own the primary
3682 selection, which means that you can select something and then paste
3683 its name into another program.
3685 Keys bound to menu entries are automatically saved when the filer quits.
3689 Changed the install script so that the CVS directories don't get installed.
3691 The 'rox' script now just calls AppRun directly.
3692 Panels can be created without starting a new copy of the filer.
3693 The pinboard can be changed or removed by using --pinboard a second time.
3695 Files can be given as arguments - they are opened as if they were clicked
3696 on in a filer window (suggested by Alex Holden). If no arguments are
3697 given then the default is now the current directory (not your home
3700 If you start the leafname in the path minibuffer with '.' then the Show
3701 Hidden feature is temporarily turned on.
3705 Ctrl-clicking selects and unselects pinboard icons. Menu clicking
3706 selects the icon clicked on while the menu is open. Pinned icons are
3707 now updated when the pointer moves over them, if necessary.
3711 Menu-clicking on a pinboard icon now brings up a menu.
3712 Clicks on the root window are still ignored though; need to support
3713 the GNOME-compliant window manager system for passing root clicks on...
3717 Files can now be dragged to pinboard icons, and they highlight nicely too!
3718 If the --override option is used, the filer will bypass the window manager
3719 and position the icons directly.
3723 Pinboard icons can now be dragged to filer windows or applications, just
3728 Changed the DnD code to make it easier for the pinboard code to use it.
3729 Up and Home buttons on the toolbar now use the 'New window on button 1'
3730 option setting (suggested by Vincent Lefèvre).
3734 Pinboard can have mount points and symlinks on it.
3738 Dragging with the Menu button moves icons around. Clicking with the
3739 other button removes icons from the pinboard.
3743 Dragging files to the pinboard adds them to it and automatically saves
3748 Pinboard is now loaded from a file specified on the command line.
3752 'Home' now appears on the background if you run it with --pinboard.
3753 Clicking opens your home directory. Doesn't do much else.
3754 Fixed a bug which prevented the minibuffer label from appearing on
3755 some versions of GTK+.
3759 First steps towards pinboard support (requested by P.S.S.Camp and
3764 Changed the Display menu layout - now there are four basic types (Large or
3765 Small, with or without details) and the type of detail desired is chosen
3766 from a sub-sub-menu.
3768 Added a new display style - bars showing the sizes of the files. The bars are
3769 drawn on a log scale.
3773 Changed the display menu - you can now choose large or small icons, with or
3774 without details. The details displayed can also be changed. I'm not quite
3775 happy with the UI yet though...
3777 Split the filer.c source file into two (filer.c and display.c) since it was
3778 becoming rather unwieldy. This means that some of the option names have
3779 changed because they've moved to a new section in the options window...
3783 Fixed a problem where ImLib support failed on multi-depth displays (reported
3784 by Stephen Harrison).
3786 06-Jun-2000 (Release 0.1.24)
3788 Added the install.sh script for easier installation.
3789 Removed 'MIME-info' file from ROX-Filer - now we always assume that the
3790 standard types are in Choices.
3791 Fixed a bug which could cause 'top' panels to appear in the wrong place
3793 Changed the sort order for Sort By Type so that directories come before
3794 files (suggested by Chris Garrett).
3795 `Single-click navigation' and 'Ignore case when sorting' now both default
3800 Improved the theme support to allow tiled background images.
3801 Fixed a bug which prevented tilde expansion from working in the
3802 shell command minibuffer.
3806 Made the help button look a bit nicer and changed the Find and Permissions
3807 action windows to use the icon instead of a text button.
3808 Removed the 3D borders from the help and toolbar buttons when not selected
3809 (looks much better!). Setting a run action by dragging to a symlink now
3810 dereferences the link (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3812 Default search path for Choices is now:
3813 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
3815 Fixed (possibly) a bug which sometimes causes the redraw to miss bits. This
3816 probably slows everything down, but the next Gtk+ release should do double
3817 buffering so all this will get changed then...
3821 Added a Help icon to the toolbar, which does the same as choosing `Show
3822 ROX-Filer Help' from the menu.
3826 Started adding some code to truncate long filenames (not finished yet).
3827 Fixed a bug which could cause directories to appear empty when using VFS.
3828 Added the 'Select If' minibuffer, which selects all files matching the
3833 Moved most of the icons from pixmaps to MIME-icons (outside ROX-Filer).
3834 Updated several of the remaining icons by copying them from the GNOME
3835 desktop (suggested by Volker Braun).
3838 16-May-2000 (Release 0.1.23)
3840 Added the `Window->Set Run Action' menu item. This allows you to specify the
3841 default run action for a file by simply dragging the file into a program.
3842 You can also enter a shell command in the minibuffer to make that command
3844 The cursor is a bit nicer and usually appears where you want it to now. You
3845 can also get rid of it by pressing Escape.
3849 Applied Bernard's patch (a couple of cosmetic changes to the action windows).
3850 Applied Vincent's patch (minor updates to the Frech translation).
3851 Fixed a problem with the pixmap caching - the filer would detect that the
3852 file had changed and try to reload it, but ImLib would simply return its
3857 Removed a debugging message that had somehow got into the release version :-(
3858 Fixed a bug in the minibuffer code - pressing Return when the cursor was in
3859 an empty directory caused odd effects.
3861 24-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.22)
3863 When starting, the filer will check to see if it is already running.
3864 If it is then the arguments are passed to that copy.
3868 Bug fix: Attempting to open a Find preview window could cause a crash
3869 if the directory containing the item could not be opened.
3870 Button-3 clicking on the toolbar icons opens a new window.
3875 Added Vincent Lefevre's French translation. Changed to using my own
3876 gettext function because some platforms don't have it or implement
3879 18-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.21)
3881 Completed marking translatable strings. Dragging with the middle button
3886 Made lots of changes to the way menus are stored; this makes i18n of the
3891 Added GNU gettext support.
3892 Shell meta-characters in shell commands are escaped.
