2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
7 Fixed some spelling errors and made some messages easier to translate
10 15-Jan-2005 (Release 2.1.5)
12 Bugfix: An extra arrow had appeared in the Find box (Thomas Leonard).
13 Bugfix: We were inconsistent about when filenames were escaped. Eg, creating
14 a directory called "a%20b" actually created "a b" (Thomas Leonard).
15 Bugfix: Panel icons with no label displayed an empty tooltip (Thomas Leonard).
16 Bugfix: Selecting a pinboard icon only redrew the text path (Thomas Leonard).
20 Updated Japanese translation (Hiroaki Tanaka).
24 Slight change to install script for when the installation directory is
25 on an NFS mount (Stephen Watson).
29 Can now disable use of extended attributes (Stephen Watson).
33 Allow renaming multiple files at once. This opens the Bulk Rename window,
34 which allows manual editing of the names, as well as regular-expression
35 based transformations (Thomas Leonard).
37 Rename buttons in Set Run Action box so that they make sense (Thomas Leonard;
38 reported by Jonatan Liljedahl).
40 Bugfix: Filer would crash when the screen was resized if there was no
41 pinboard (Thomas Leonard).
42 Bugfix: Xinerama support had broken panel repositioning in response to
43 XRANDR screen resizing events (Thomas Leonard).
47 Set the name for filer windows to 'rox-filer'. This allows theming the fonts
48 just for ROX-Filer (Lucas Hazel).
52 If an item has extended attributes, report that before checking whether they
53 are supported (Thomas Leonard).
54 Updated Chinese translation (Babyfai Cheung).
55 Bugfix: Pressing Escape now closes the Properties box (reported by Arnaud
60 Bugfix: Test for presence of extended attributes on Solaris gave wrong
61 answer when they were not supported (Stephen Watson).
65 The icons for mount point and symbolic link are now side-by-side, not
66 one on top of the other, and a new icon is used to mark files with
67 extended attributes (Stephen Watson).
71 Bugfix: Use gtk_selection_data_set_text instead of gtk_selection_data_set when
72 pasting filenames so that other applications know the string is UTF-8
73 (Thomas Leonard; reported by Dennis).
77 Better extended attribute detection under Solaris (Stephen Watson).
81 More extended attribute support. The "Set Type..." menu item should be
82 disabled if not supported by the system or FS (Stephen Watson).
86 Method of scaling pinboard images is now an option, as the default could
87 produce poor results on some systems (Stephen Watson).
91 Updated it.po and Manual-it.xml (Yuri Bongiorno)
95 Bugfix: Dragging a lasso box above the top of the window in details mode
96 selected all the items outside the box (Thomas Leonard; reported by
101 Only show executable files in green if clicking would actually run them, not
102 just because they have the execute bit set (Thomas Leonard).
106 Much faster thumbnail generation (Ken Hayber, reported by Anthony DiSante).
110 When closing a filer window showing a directory under a user-mounted
111 mount-point, offer to unmount the device if no other filer window also shows
112 that mount point (requested by Tony Houghton and others). Also do this check
113 when changing to a parent directory.
114 Scale iconified window icons on the pinboard down to normal size (Ken Hayber).
118 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
122 Work on the action box, including a progress bar (Stephen Watson).
126 Added PinboardRemove() SOAP call (Stephen Watson).
128 20-Oct-2004 (Release 2.1.4)
130 Added Portuguese translation (Rodrigo Cesar Herefeld).
134 Some improvements to saved display settings (Takuo Yonezawa and Stephen
136 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
140 Allow multiple arguments for executable pinboard and panel icons (Thomas
142 Updated it.po and Manual-it (Yuri Bongiorno).
146 Use a higher quality setting when scaling the backdrop image (Ken Hayber).
150 Added PanelRemove() SOAP call (Sabin Iacob).
151 Bugfix: Mounting a directory that was accessed through a symlinked directory
152 used the symbolic path, confusing the mount command (Thomas Leonard;
153 reported by Anthony DiSante).
157 Force panel to not take focus when using GTK 2.4 (Thomas Leonard).
161 Minimum width of toolbar now an option (requested by Matthew Weier O'Phinney).
165 Only examine items that are actually displayed, not all items in a directory.
166 Saves checking hidden files, which typically speeds up opening the home
167 directory. Removed an unnecessary extra scan when opening a directory
168 with the default filter setting. Removed the double scan when clicking Refresh
169 and two windows show the same directory (Thomas Leonard).
173 Added option to make panels have the type _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK (Tony
174 Houghton). Metacity needs this.
178 If we can't guess a file's type from its name or extended attribute, try
179 looking at its contents too, if we have gnomevfs 2.8.0 or later available
184 Panel and pinboard icons can now have a single argument set for them.
185 If you need more than one argument, consider creating a wrapper
190 Added --massif option for profiling memory usage (Thomas Leonard).
191 Warn about missing libsm in configure.in (reported by fedewico).
195 When resizing a window, only warp the pointer as much as necessary to keep
196 it inside the window (Thomas Leonard).
200 Ensure that a panel applet's properties are set before starting the applet
201 (reported by Tony Houghton).
205 Fixed panel menu positioning for multiple monitors with different resolutions
207 Use _NET_WM_STATE_BELOW to raise and lower the panel (Tony Houghton). Not
208 changing to type DOCK yet as it breaks some WMs.
212 Use new GTK 2.2 functions to set window hints now that we don't support 2.0
213 anymore (Guido Schimmels).
217 Plug a memory leak when loading SVG type icons (Stephen Watson).
221 Fix for the Solaris extended attribute support (Stephen Watson).
225 Set minimum width of toolbar so that all buttons are visible (Stephen Watson).
229 When adding an entry to the Recently Visited menu, remove its parent directory.
230 This stops the list filling up with near-duplicates when you have deeply
231 nested directories (Thomas Leonard).
235 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
239 For debugging, show the failed URI when dragging to the pinboard (Thomas
244 Use Help icon instead of Info icon for popup help buttons (Thomas Leonard).
248 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
250 01-Aug-2004 (Release 2.1.3)
252 Build in ROX-Filer/build, not ~/build/ROX-Filer.
256 Renamed Cancel to Close in the Properties box (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
257 Updated some calls to use newer APIs, and allow compilation on systems where
258 deprecated widgets are disabled by default (reported by Vincent Lefèvre and
260 Bugfix: Panel icons were no longer shown highlighted when selected.
264 Bugfix: When opening a new directory with saved settings, the filer would
265 print a warning and then crash.
269 Changed email address given as the one to send bugs to when using
270 --help to the rox-devel list (Stephen Watson).
271 Thumbnail generation now handles files with UTF-8 characters (Anatoly
276 Removed action window screenshot from manual to save space.
280 Proper check for the stat[v]fs headers (Stephen Watson, reported by
285 Added firefox to list of default browsers (suggested by eugene).
289 Added Romanian translation (Cosma Florin).
293 Can now set "Brief" option on the Copy and Move action windows (Stephen
295 Properties window handles mount points specially when calculating their size
300 Bugfix: On Linux, the filer called setxattr instead of getxattr, thus
301 preventing setting filetypes with extended attributes from working.
302 Bugfix: Copy and Move now obey the "Brief" option (Stephen Watson, reported
307 Bugfix: On multi-monitor setups, filer windows always opened on the top/left
308 monitor (reported by Kacper Wysocki). Now they open on the monitor
313 Icons of minimized windows remember their positions on the pinboard (Stephen
315 Filer now officially requires GTK 2.2.0 or later (wasn't working with 2.0
316 anyway, and noone had complained).
317 Bugfix: A race in the code for updating iconified window titles could cause
318 the filer to crash with a BadWindow error.
322 Another Properties window fix: if there is no output from the du command
323 then put a message indicating an error (Stephen Watson).
324 Can now compile without Xinerama support on GTK+ < 2.2.0 (Tony Houghton).
328 Let the panel autoscroll during a drag (Stephen Watson).
332 Fix another bug when closing Properties window before it has finished
333 scanning the directory (Stephen Watson).
337 Improved Xinerama support: now works for tooltips and action windows; filer
338 windows are no longer prone to leaving their borders overlapping; panel uses
339 _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL so it only affects the monitor it's on (Tony Houghton).
343 Make ignoring executable files with known extensions the default setting
344 (suggested by Daniel Poersch). Freedesktop.org is discussing a plan to mark
345 individual MIME types as executable, which may be a better long-term
347 Option to prevent maximising windows from covering the panels (requested
348 by Simon Templer and others).
352 Type specific Send To entries now shown for multiple files when they
353 are all of the same type (Stephen Watson).
354 Can now drag icons to the very end of the panel (Stephen Watson).
358 Another place to look for apsymbols.h (Stephen Watson).
362 More fixes for the new build system (Stephen Watson).
366 Fix portability of new build system and ensure configure can find the
367 version number again (Stephen Watson).
371 Build object files in ~/build/ROX-Filer, in case source directory is read-only.
372 This also reduces the risk of distributing the object files by accident.
376 Don't allow toolbar buttons to focus (needed for GTK 2.4).
380 Fix loss of bookmark name when re-ordering (Rahsheen Porter).
381 Removed installation of thumbnail handlers via the Set Icon dialog. It was
382 never documented and all the thumbnailers use the mime_handler installation
383 anyway (Stephen Watson).
387 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
391 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
395 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
397 30-Apr-2004 (Release 2.1.2)
399 Removed toolbar hint type from panel. It caused too many problems.
403 Added 'Download handler' to drag and drop options. This program is invoked
404 when a URI is dragged to the filer (eg, from a web-browser). The default
405 command runs wget to download the file (Andrew Flegg).
409 Bugfix: URIs received through drag-and-drop were unescaped twice, causing
410 problems with names containing the '%' character (spotted by Jonatan
415 Cope with spaces in ROX-Filer's path.
416 Added a load of default keys, since many GTK setups now make it almost
417 impossible to change shortcuts.
418 Added --leaks option to run ROX-Filer through valgrind with the memory
419 leak option checking on (Stephen Watson).
423 Added Xinerama support (Tony Houghton).
424 Set window type hint = toolbar for panel to prevent it appearing in pagers etc
429 Added method of saving display settings for directories. Mostly working,
430 but bugs remain related to size and position (Stephen Watson).
431 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
435 Load extended attribute functions dynamically. This should mean that compiling
436 ROX-Filer with a new glibc won't make it stop working with older versions due
437 to the functions being missing.
441 Use * as a synonym for unfiltered (Stephen Watson).
445 Bookmarks can be given titles (Stephen Watson).
449 Fix memory leak in thumbnails code (Stephen Watson).
453 Fixed bug in details mode for showing hidden files (Stephen Watson).
457 Don't display an error box when installing the ROX icon theme. It just
458 worries people for no reason.
462 Updated Chinese translation (Babyfai Cheung).
466 Option to make the File menu appear directly when the menu is opened with
467 files selected (Peter Geer).
471 Added an arrow to the comparison area of the action box so you can see
472 which file overwrites the other (Stephen Watson).
476 Sort by user/group now uses the name, not the number (Stephen Watson).
480 Added 'Select by Name'.
484 Cope with XRandR screen resizing (Geoff Youngs and Tom Morton).
488 Can now filter files by name, using normal shell (glob) patterns (Stephen
493 Updated it.po and Manual-it (Yuri Bongiorno).
497 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
499 24-Jan-2004 (Release 2.1.1)

502 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
506 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
510 Misc changes for next release.
514 Accept Mozilla's alternative to the standard text/uri-list target during
515 drag-and-drop (Andrew Flegg).
519 Bugfix: Icon shortcuts with out modifier keys didn't work if NumLock,
520 CapsLock, etc were turned on (reported by Peter Geer).
521 Bugfix: Handle case when the output of uname -m contains spaces (Stephen
522 Watson, reported on #rox).
526 Renamed some functions stolen from Gtk to avoid possible conflicts with
527 the Gtk-2.3 series (reported by Stu Tissimus).
531 Make the Ctrl-button-3 menu pointer appear at the same place regardless
532 of the number of custom entries (Stephen Watson).
536 Make Ctrl-button-3 open the menu slightly higher, so Delete isn't under the
537 pointer (suggested by Ryan Pavlik).
541 Allow non image/* thumbnails in details mode. Label next to the combo
542 in the Set Type action dialog is now "Type" and not "Command" (Stephen
547 Work out which include file we need for getxattr (Stephen Watson).
551 Allow editing a symlink's target from the Properties box (suggested by Arnaud
553 Experimental extended attributes support for setting MIME types (Stephen
558 More drag and drop fixes relating to escaped URI's (Stephen Watson).
562 Added 'Specify the prefix' install option (Ryan Pavlik).
563 Updated Russian translation (Vladimir Popov).
567 Bugfix: Cancelling the info window with a du process still running could
568 crash the filer (reported by Peter Geer).
572 Renamed 'Info' menu item to 'Properties'.
576 If a panel icon has an empty label, show it full size (requested by Stephen
581 Use apsymbols.h (from autopackage.org) if possible for binary compatibility
582 with older glibc versions. Use g_ascii_* functions instead of the ctypes ones
584 Bugfix: Files with '&' in their names couldn't be saved in groups (reported
585 by Nils-Erik Svangård).
589 Updated Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
590 Resizing by double clicking on background now optional (Stephen Watson).
594 Added optional top and bottom margines for iconized window placement
599 Don't lower the panel due when the pointer 'leaves' due to a grab (eg, clicking
600 or opening a menu). This also prevents a flickering problem with Openbox 3.
604 Bugfix: FreeBSD reported file sizes with units of 'null' due to large file
605 support not being detected (igla).
609 Larger default size for bookmarks editor (requested by Matthew Weier OPhinney).
613 Let the thumbnail helpers be app dirs, plus can be set from the Set Icon
614 dialog (Stephen Watson).
618 Improved socket icon (taken from Howard Shane's new theme).
622 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
623 Updated German translation (Guido Schimmels).
624 Offer Eject even for unmounted disks (reported by Matthew Weier O'Phinney).
625 Try to load icons at 'huge' size, so SVG icons get the chance to scale up
628 07-Oct-2003 (Release 2.1.0)
630 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
631 Removed some dead code, memory leaks, etc that had crept in.
635 New icon for selection ops.
639 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).

647 Update error message about missing MIME database to give the new URI.
651 Stock icons in panel and pinboard menus.
652 Added icon theme selector.
656 Added 'Customise Menu' to file menu. Use this to replace Format and Free.

665 opened (reported by John Pettigrew).
669 Added italian manual, updated it.po (Yuri Bongiorno).
670 Implementation of Format, just as a user-defined command. Also mount
671 point menu items reflect mounted/not mounted status (Stephen Watson).
675 Implementation of Free Space (Stephen Watson). OpenDir SOAP message now
676 takes an optional Window element. Pass the same Window to re-use the window.
680 Allow ejecting mounted media.
684 Don't create a corrupted pinboard/panel file if a non-UTF8 pathname is
685 dragged to it (reported by Eugeni Andreechtchev).
686 Get file icons using freedesktop.org icon theme system.
690 Added Czech translation (Jan Provaznik).
694 Help, Format, Eject and Free Space now appear in the AppMenu section of the
695 menu. Help is only shown for applications, and the others only for mount
700 Added ability to call external programs to generate thumbnails for types
701 other than image/* (Stephen Watson).
705 If a string can't be converted from the local character set to UTF-8,
706 fallback to converting from iso-8859-1.
710 Get shared MIME database through Zero Install, if possible.
711 Bugfix: Didn't use XDG_DATA_DIRS to find type descriptions.
715 Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
719 Allow types other than image/* to have thumbnails, although we can't
720 generate them yet (Stephen Watson).
721 Added Eject menu option for unmounted mount points (Stephen Watson).
725 Doing a Refresh in a directory under /uri/0install triggers a remote refresh.
729 Less frame-heavy look for info box (Thomas Leonard).
730 When mounting, force a refresh even if the mtime of the new disk is the same,
731 since some formats don't change it. Also, if mounting gives an error, check to
732 see if it worked anyway (Thomas Leonard).
736 Added sort and selection buttons to the toolbar. They start off disabled,
737 enable them from Options->Tools if you want them (Stephen Watson).
739 Escape text/uri-list for drag and drop operations (Stephen Watson).
743 Don't show hidden files on the SendTo menu (reported by Arnaud Calvo).

756 Updated italian translation in AppInfo.xml and src/po/it.po (Yuri Bongiorno)

761 (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
765 Sort items on the SendTo menu (requested by John Pettigrew).
769 Removed the menu-on-button-2 option. It was too inconsistant with everything
770 else, including panel applets and window managers, to be useful. Edit bind.c if
775 Button-2 drags on panel applets always work now, even if the applet doesn't
776 forward them explicitly.
780 Fix scrolling problem with GTK+-2.2.2 (reported by Alastair Porter, with
781 help from Götz Waschk).
785 Bugfix: Resize on style change didn't do anything (Andy Hanton).

857 reduce flickering effect.
861 Page Up and Page Down now work again in List View.
865 Updated install script to use new XDG Base Directory spec (reported by
867 Also install man pages under 'share/man'.
871 Close stdout when running child processes for users running startx from the
872 console, since some terminal applications try to read from the console,
873 freezing X (Keith R. John Warno).
874 Forward scroll events on pinboard to window manager, and add option to
875 workaround *box issues (Matthew Weier O'Phinney).

963 Don't mark widget documentation as translatable.
964 Make sure the tooltip for pinboard and panel icons is up-to-date (reported

1008 (suggested by Michael Adams).
1009 Bugfix: A double-click which starts on one file and ends on another is now
1010 ignored (reported by Michael Adams).
1011 Bugfix: Test for valid sort-type in SOAP call was reserved, so you couldn't set
1012 the sort type (reported by Damjan Bole).
1013 Bugfix: Using a SOAP call to open a non-existant directory made the filer
1015 Bugfix: Drag-and-drop raising on the panel didn't quite work (Daniele Peri).

1039 Dragging to the Home and Up toolbar tools now supports the menu-on-drag
1040 option (reported by Laurent Moussault).
1041 Allow changing the pinboard style without having to drag the image back in
1042 (requested by Jesse Wagner).
1043 Remove button style from iconified windows. Use a semi-transparent border
1044 instead. The actual effect is flexible; perhaps someone with artistic
1045 talent can do something better?
1046 Double-buffer small pinboard updates.
1047 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
1051 Option to turn off column headings in List View (Adam Sampson).

1062 Keep the title up-to-date for iconified windows.
1063 Option to show menu on button-1 drags instead of copying.
1064 Aborting an action window tries to kill all child processes, not just the

1077 When dragging a pinboard icon over itself, pretend the icon isn't there to

1080 title bar, and only report it once in an error box.

2115 Updated Italian translation (Denis Manente).
2119 Updated German translation (André Wyrwa).
2120 Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).

2131 and panels (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
2135 Updated Hungarian translation (Andras Mohari).

2141 Updated Dutch translation (Wilbert Berendsen).
2142 Updated to Gtk+-1.3.13 (action window scrolling now works).

2148 the entry (reported by Karol Krenski).
2149 Added instructions for Window Maker pinboard icons to the manual
2151 Resizer now allows space for the 'Running as ...' message (reported by
2156 If conversion to 'ISO8859-1' doesn't work, try 'iso-8859-1' and 'UTF-8' instead

2168 for Gtk+-1.2, and in UTF-8 for Gtk+-2.0.

2170 the menu, the item now remains selected when you enter the command.
2172 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2173 Updated Dutch translation (Wilbert Berendsen).
2177 _ROX_PANEL_MENU_POS property is now set on each GtkSocket window, rather than

2181 Loading a thumbnail now stores the details when loading started, not
2183 Bugfix: Under Gtk+-2.0, the savebox focussed the OK button rather than the
2188 Changing the permission on a file failed to update the display (reported by

2200 Thumbnails code failed to update images when they changed (reported by

2206 conversion fails (Stephen Watson).
2208 Deleting a symlink to a pinboard or panel icon showed a warning, even though
2209 there was no danger, because it followed the symlink. Trying to copy a symlink
2210 inside the directory it pointed to failed for the same reason.
2214 Big changes to internationalisation for pinboards and panels to fix problems
2215 with incompatible character sets (reported by Arnaud Calvo).
2216 When creating thumbnails, create to a temporary file and rename in case another
2217 program tries to write the save thumbnail at the same time.
2218 As a special case, running with just '-v' doesn't call gtk_init, allowing
2219 installing without an X server (requested by Michael Duelli).
2223 Converter for old-format config files now stops if the file looks like
2224 XML (probably from a failed conversion).

2351 specified in the translation (was always using iso-8859-1).

2356 stops any scan in progress automatically. Added 'All' and 'Thumbs' status
2361 New 'Show image thumnails' option to set this as the default (requested by
2363 Got details working again with Gtk+-1.2 (spotted by Kristian Rink).
2367 New thumbnail system. 'Create Thumbs' is now 'Show Thumbnails' and can

2369 bar is displayed in the filer window.

2374 Improved error reporting.
2375 Improved sizing code when details are on.

2381 check box and does 'Yes'.

2408 Target mode, dragging an unselected item, and auto-selecting an item when
2409 opening the menu now all work without grabbing the primary selection.

2415 now reclaims the selection.
2416 Removed default minibuffer option for now.
2417 The dash forms in Find tests can be combined, eg '-rwx'.

2423 icons are marked as desktop features (requested by Laurent Moussault).
2424 Thumbnails are now stored using an md5 hash of their names.
2425 Pinboard icons can be repositioned by dragging with the left mouse button
2426 (middle button drag stopped working with sawfish, and this is easier anyway).
2430 New scanning system: blank items are added to the window first and then the
2431 icons and types get filled in later. Looks better and simplifies the sizing
2433 Code tidying in various places.
2437 Bugfix: Filer would quit if only Info boxes were open.
2438 Bugfix: Pinboard and panel windows didn't get the correct hints set under

2444 efficient now, and easier to get aa fonts working...
2448 Fixed Gtk+-2.0 wheel mouse support.

2468 it was in the displayed area before.
2470 When closing the Enter Path minibuffer, keep Show Hidden on if the cursor is
2473 When using --show with a hidden file, turn on Show Hidden. Also, delay the
2474 winking effect until the window actually appears.

2480 Kristian A. Rink and others).

2483 selection (Andras Mohari).

2495 Added a new root window property (_ROX_FILER_EUID_HOST) which points to

2505 Moved 'Select All', 'Clear Selection' and 'Select If...' to a new 'Select'

2509 the console (Olivier Fourdan).
2513 Manpage is now generated automatically from DocBook source.
2514 Short forms for many find expressions, such as -d for IsDir (suggested by

2525 Updated to Gtk+-1.3.11.
2529 Show the current run action for a file in the Info box (Stephen Watson).

2547 Code tidying in menu.c (Bernard Jungen).

2562 width or height of zero (Andras Mohari).

2575 (requested by Graham Borland).
2576 Added 'Types' section to the Options window, allowing easy(ish) access
2577 to the MIME-info files, plus a reload button, and icons for MIME-types can

2591 - Disk usage forgot to count special files like pipes, etc.
2592 - Page up/down scrolls a window full at a time instead of 10 items.
2593 - Don't get icons from the cache if thumbnail mode is off anymore.
2594 - modechange.c: deleted useless stuff and fixed octal parsing to detect
2595 *all* illegal values (eg 010000000000000).
2596 - Added 'Show/hide hidden files' toolbar button.
2597 - Lots of code tidying.

2631 option to access it directly.
2635 Open new windows at the mouse position (suggested by Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson).
2636 Bugfix: If file doesn't accept the '-b' option then examining a file in
2637 the root directory didn't work (Stephen Watson).
2641 Use --version instead of 'which' to test for programs as not everyone has
2642 which (suggested by Vincent Lefevre).
2643 Bugfix: When setting an icon for a file with a space in the name, the
2644 setting wasn't saved correctly (spotted by Arnaud Calvo and Jakub
2645 Turski). The 'globicons' file should be converted automatically
2646 when the filer is run.
2650 Added support for the regex field in MIME-info. This allows files to be
2651 matched with patterns, not just on their extensions. For example, '.gtkrc'
2652 is now typed 'x-gtkrc' despite having no extension (Stephen Watson and
2657 Allow AppIcon.xpm and .DirIcon.png to be symlinks (Bernard Jungen).
2661 When running on a remote machine, display the remote host's name in the

2689 selection caused a crash (Fabien Coutant).
2693 Colour files by type (Andras Mohari).
2697 Added -p to mkdir in install scripts to create any missing parent
2698 directories (Michel Alexandre Salim).

2703 of possible actions (Taras).

2748 The 'src/po/dist' script now converts all text to UTF-8.
2752 Fixed some problems with the configure.in script and autoconf 2.50 (Richard
2757 Updated Dutch translation (Jasper Huijsmans).
2758 Send To menu lists contents of all Send To directories in Choices, not just
2759 the first one found.
2760 Fixed another XML compiling problem (Stephen Watson).
2764 Added Customise to `Send To' menu.
2768 Detached Send To menu from main menu structure. Allows key-binding to open

2770 Shift+Menu brings up the menu directly.
2774 Fixed compiling problem with some versions of libxml (Stephen Watson).
2775 Changed a text message in the Options box (about binding keys to menus) into
2776 a button which shows the message in an alert box. Maybe people will read the

2825 (requested by Andreas Dehmel).
2829 When using the Set Run Action box, make the command default to the currently
2830 set command (suggested by Arnaud Calvo).
2832 12-Jul-2001 (Release 1.1.6)
2834 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2838 Renamed 'New File' submenu to 'New' and moved 'New Directory' into it.
2842 Use the user's preferred font for item filenames, not the Gtk default

2877 of '<Choices>/Templates' (Stephen Watson).

2883 submenu (suggested by André Wyrwa).
2887 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
2888 Added a German translation (André Wyrwa).
2892 Added an extra option to control the resizing behaviour. Can be set to resize

2895 07-Jun-2001 (Release 1.1.5)
2897 Updated Russian translation (Dmitry Elfimov).
2901 Unless compiling with mc's libvfs for virtual filesystem support, change the
2902 menu structure for use with the newer AVFS system.
2903 (http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs/) (José Romildo Malaquias).

2906 (reported by Dmitry Elfimov).

2940 icons, or just applications (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
2944 Converted the options window to a tabbed notebook (Denis Manente).
2948 Pressing the mouse button down on an icon no longer winks it; only releasing
2949 the button to run it does.
2950 Added 'Show Info' to panel/pinboard menu.
2951 The File Info box grabs the primary selection when a row is selected
2952 (allows you to paste email addresses, URLs, etc).
2956 Opening a pinboard or panel menu over an icon no longer selects it -- this
2957 allows the selection to be passed to an application run using its AppMenu
2958 (requested by Christopher Arndt).
2962 In Large Icons display style, a file's name may wrap onto a second line.
2966 Merged code for handling selections and menus that was common to pinboards

2991 Gtk styles can be overridden in <Choices>/ROX-Filer/Styles (suggested by
2993 Pinboards and panels should now work with IceWM without needing -o
2994 (Christopher Arndt).
2995 Allow text messages in the toolbar to go off the side (instead of resizing the
3000 Opening the shell minibuffer with a selection adds ' "$@' after the cursor.
3001 Without a selection, the name of the file under the cursor is added.
3005 Pressing the `\' key opens the menu (suggested by Christopher Arndt). Hold
3006 down Ctrl for the File submenu.
3010 Added a new 'About' section to AppInfo. Any elements in here are added
3011 into the info box. Added a 'Refresh' button to the info box.
3012 Added a ROX-Filer/Styles file for default colours (default filer background
3017 Rewrote the file info box. Looks a bit nicer, and it's easier to add extra
3022 Updated Russian translation (Dmitry Elfimov).
3026 AppInfo file may contain a <Summary> element - the text inside will be
3027 displayed in a tooltip if the mouse is held over the item in a filer
3032 Filer now looks for AppInfo.xml before AppMenu. This is for future
3037 Automatic resizing of windows when changing directory is now optional
3038 (requested by Paul E. Johnson and Andreas Thorn).
3042 The symlink box allows you to choose to create relative or absolute links
3043 (suggested by Stephen Watson).
3047 Fix some typos and untranslated strings (Andras Mohari).
3051 Added a Russian translation (Dmitry Elfimov).
3055 Fixed a couple of errors in the man-page (spotted by Damien Couderc).
3059 Winking an item in a directory makes it flash twice instead of once (easier
3060 to see). Also, creating a new file or directory from the menu winks the new
3063 Bugfix: When a directory was rescanned because of a move operation,
3064 the `Set Icon...' settings didn't work (reported by Damien
3069 New display style 'Huge Icons' to make viewing thumbnails easier.
3070 Added a Hungarian translation (Andras Mohari).
3071 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3072 Double clicking on a filer window's background resizes the window (Denis
3077 If an item's name is truncated, show it in a tooltip when the pointer is
3078 held over the item (Denis Manente).
3080 30-Mar-2001 (Release 1.1.2)
3082 Asking for help on a directory always tries to open <dir>/Help first, even
3083 for non-applications.
3087 If run without -n, the filer will put itself in the background. Thus,
3088 the 'rox' command behaves the same whether or not the filer is already
3093 Support for the new version of libxml (reported by Andreas Dehmel).
3097 Rewrote parser for options. Smaller and neater (hopefully this will fix
3098 the bugs reported by Andreas Dehmel and Ewan Mac Mahon).
3100 Bugfix: While scanning, the resizer could make the window too large.
3104 Moving the cursor down in the next-to-last row will move to the last
3105 item if there is nothing under the cursor (suggested by Graham Borland).
3109 When changing directory, only make the window larger (if needed), never
3110 smaller (suggested by Diego Zamboni).
3114 Changing directory autosizes the window automatically (Denis Manente).
3115 Internal changes to the way different layouts are handled.
3119 Pressing space (to select/unselect an item) now also moves the cursor to
3120 the next item (suggested by Anders Lundmark).
3122 Copying directories tries to preserve the timestamps, like it does for
3123 files (suggested by José Romildo Malaquias).
3127 Added '--mime-type FILE' option, which simply writes the type of FILE to
3128 standard output (Stephen Watson).
3130 Added 'Home Directory' to Window menu (requested by Graham Borland).
3134 Copying a directory which doesn't have user write permission will give it
3135 user write during the copy to avoid permission denied errors (suggested by
3138 New sort option - 'Directories always come first' (requested by Liav Asseraf).
3142 Dragging a lasso box with the middle button toggles the selected state
3143 of the items enclosed (Denis Manente).
3147 Changing the display style now resizes the window (Denis Manente).
3151 New pinboards get a 'Home' icon in the top left corner as new users often
3152 think the pinboard isn't working because it starts empty (suggested by
3155 Converted AppMenu file format to XML.
3156 Added AppMenu file with options to control the pinboard.
3160 Highlight invalid Find expressions in red (Anders Lundmark).
3164 When resizing windows, try to keep the window fully inside the screen area
3169 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3173 When mounting a device, the new window appears after mounting, not before.
3174 This means that it's more likely to get sized correctly (requested by
3179 Added two new options to control when minibuffer completion beeps (requested
3184 Added 'New File...' feature (James Kermode).
3188 Dropping icons on the pinboard positions them sensibly (Diego Zamboni).
3190 09-Feb-2001 (Release 1.1.1)
3192 Moving pinboard icons is nicer - it no longer assumes you dragged the middle
3193 of the text... (Diego Zamboni).
3195 Added a Polish translation (Andrzej Borsuk).
3197 Bugfix: Sometimes it wasn't possible to delete something that was on a
3198 pinboard or panel, even after confirming (reported by Diego Zamboni).
3202 Sliders in the options box can have a numerical value display (Diego Zamboni).
3203 Fixed a stray warning message displayed when non-default pinboard options
3204 were used (Diego Zamboni).
3206 New menu item 'Set Icon...' allows you to choose any icon for any file or
3207 directory. Also allow .DirIcon.png to set a directory's icon (Diego Zamboni).
3211 Many internal changes to the Options system.
3215 Bugfix: On filesystems which aren't case sensitive (eg DOS) it was possible
3216 to copy 'tmp' as 'Tmp' and lose it! (reported by Denis Manente)
3220 Added Diego Zamboni's patch to make configuring VFS easier.
3224 Improved compiling - now correctly reports an error if the file doesn't
3225 compile. If configure is missing then autoconf is run automatically.
3227 After a Find completes, you are given the option of doing the search again
3230 Applications can define a list of menu items to display on their menus
3231 (Diego Zamboni). The file should be called 'AppMenu' and contains a list of
3232 lines in the form 'option Text'.
3236 Added two new pinboard options - one to allow setting the grid step size
3237 and one to allow icons to go slightly off the side of the screen (Diego
3242 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds could cause a crash (reported by Diego
3247 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3249 Bugfix: The pixbuf stuff didn't work on some displays (reported by Stephen
3252 20-Jan-2001 (Release 1.1.0)
3254 Removed the 'Initial window height' option. The filer tries to pick a
3255 sensible shape itself now.
3257 Bugfix: If an image was moved to a directory which didn't generate thumbs
3258 then it would display, but never be updated. Even if it wasn't that
3259 file at all, just a reused inode!
3260 Bugfix: Changing the display style didn't always redraw the display.
3261 Bugfix: In 'Small, With...' display mode, clicking beyond the far right
3262 column acted like clicking on the far-right column.
3266 Changed background colour to be more compatible with the Gtk themes system.
3270 Removed all the message window stuff. ROX-Filer no longer grabs standard
3271 error from its child processes. Changed because ROX-Session now does a much
3276 Filer is more generous in what hostnames it considers local.
3277 Patch to include pixbuf headers correctly (Diego Zamboni).
3281 Bug fix: Didn't always use the fully qualified host name for DnD.
3285 If a file has a known extension then it is given the appropriate type even
3286 if the file is executable (Simon Britnell).
3290 Added a menu entry 'Resize Window' to set the window to a sensible size
3295 Try to open new windows at a sensible size for their contents (Denis Manente).
3299 Bugfix: When mounting or unmounting subdirectories of '/', the mount symbol
3300 wasn't updated (reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3304 Fixed a couple of memory leaks in the choices system (Diego Zamboni).
3305 Updated French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3306 Added new 'Create Thumbs' entry on the Display menu which tries to load
3307 every file in the directory as an image and use that image for the file
3308 (suggested by Sprague and Simon Britnell).
3312 Converted to use gdk-pixbuf instead of ImLib.
3313 Fixed a few compiler warnings and improved the error message displayed
3314 if you try to invoke rox on a missing file (reported by Vincent Lefèvre).
3315 Changed the -w, -W and -i flags to the simpler -x=FILE, which reexamines the
3316 given file, updating directory views and icons as needed.
3320 AppIcon.xpm must be a regular file (stops people trying to crash the
3321 filer by symlinking to /dev/...).
3322 Fixed a missing translation in the pinboard options (Denis Manente).
3326 Attempting to run the filer before compiling will now ask if you want
3328 Removed lots of platform-specific mount point code and replaced it with
3329 python's portable system.
3330 New options section allows you to choose a translation without having to
3331 set the LANG variable.
3335 Added '-w', '-i' and '-W' command line options for forcing icons or
3336 directories to be rescanned (Diego Zamboni).
3338 13-Dec-2000 (Release 1.0.0)
3340 Made a few updates to the manual.
3344 Fixes to make compiling easier on Solaris (Diego Zamboni). Also, after showing
3345 a pinboard icon, tries to send it to the back (might help with some WMs).
3347 04-Dec-2000 (Release 0.1.30)
3349 When a panel is used for the first time, put the user's home directory and
3350 the directory containing ROX-Filer on it instead of leaving it blank.
3354 Patch to make compiling easier under FreeBSD (Jimmy Olgeni).
3355 Added a #include for OSF1 (Vincent Lefevre).
3359 Bugfix: On many systems, the filer would fail to remove zombie processes
3360 due to a typo (spotted by Philip Hazel and tracked down by Stephen
3365 Bugfix: Removing an item from the panel now resizes the panel (reported
3366 by Wilbert Berendsen).
3367 Bugfix: Editing an icon's path failed to update its hash entry.
3371 If a case-sensitve match for an extension can't be found then try a
3372 case-insensitive match - so .BMP and similar work (Denis Manente).
3376 A few changes to remove some compiler warnings (reported by Vincent Lefevre).
3377 Added a VFS menu entry for .deb files (Vincent Ledda).
3381 Mounting or unmounting a directory forces mtab to be reread, even if the
3382 timestamp hasn't changed (problem reported by Wilbert Berendsen).
3384 When the 'Unique windows' option is on, remove the old window AFTER creating
3385 the new one, so that the filer doesn't quit because there are zero windows
3386 open... (Denis Manente).
3390 Updated the Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3394 Updated the French translation (Vincent Lefèvre).
3396 Using --version and --help options no longer requires an X server connection,
3397 the man-pages are more standard, and 'man ROX-Filer' is allowed as well as
3398 'man rox' (Bernard Jungen).
3400 Bugfix: A corrupted AppIcon.xpm could crash the filer.
3402 24-Oct-2000 (Release 0.1.29)
3404 Code tidying: Replaced an XLib call with a gdk one (Denis Manente) and amended
3405 the makedist script to remove the .cvsignore files (spotted by Andy
3410 Improved the install script so that it installs the man-page. Also made it
3411 easier to use. Updated the French translation and fixed a couple of
3412 typos (Vincent Lefèvre).
3416 Gtk+ doesn't always scroll entry widgets to show the selection - apply a
3417 workaround (Denis Manente) - this improves the Copy/Rename/etc boxes.
3421 Added a Dutch translation (Jan Wagemakers).
3425 Added an Italian translation (Denis Manente).
3429 Bugfix: If AppRun was a symlink, then the owner of the file was checked, not
3430 the owner of the symlink. Slight security risk, and also prevented
3431 users symlinking AppRun to their binaries...
3435 Bugfix: Deleting a pinboard icon while it was highlighted caused a crash.
3436 This means it is now possible to click on a pinboard icon to change
3437 between pinboards...
3439 Bugfix: Textured window backgrounds didn't redraw correctly when scrolled
3440 or resized. Now flickers when resizing if there's a textured
3441 background - seems to be necessary :-(
3445 Running as root now simply turns on the -u flag, rather than displaying
3448 The toolbar height is now correctly taken into account when sizing a new filer
3449 window (Denis Manente).
3451 When guessing file types from extensions, the filer now tries to find the
3452 longest extension that matches (eg .ps.gz, then .gz).
3456 The lasso box is now drawn so that the box will be in the foreground colour
3457 over the background, rather than by just inverting the pixel value and hoping
3458 it's visible (spotted by Philip Hazel).
3462 If the home directory is '/' then don't show it as '~' (suggested by
3465 Added '--show=FILE' option - this will be needed by other ROX
3466 applications, so it needs to be in version 1.0.0.
3468 Bugfix: -d option didn't use realpath before sending to an already-running
3473 The 'install.sh' script now uses 'printf' instead of 'echo -e' to suppress
3474 newlines (suggested by Bernard Jungen).
3476 Bugfix: Close tool was always disabled on startup (reported by Martin Ward).
3480 Added a man-page (Andy Piper).
3481 Changed `install.sh' from bash to sh (Bernard Jungen).
3483 18-Sep-2000 (Release 0.1.28)
3485 Bugfix: menu entries on the pinboard menu weren't being shaded and
3490 Changed 'Rename Item' to 'Edit Icon' and allowed changing the path that
3491 the icon points to as well as its name.
3493 All i?86 platforms are treated as being equivalent (so, if you compile
3494 on a 386 then it'll still run on a 486).
3498 Pinboard icons can also be renamed.
3499 Pinboard and panel icons can have '~' or '~/' at the start of their
3500 pathnames - this should make it easier to create a system-wide default
3501 panel or pinboard with icons relative to the user's home directory.
3505 Panel icons can now be renamed (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3509 Changing the toolbar options affects existing windows, not just new ones.
3510 Removed the 'Size Bars' display style and replaced it with 'Permissions',
3511 'Type' and 'Times' styles.
3515 With items that spread over their normal width because they're on the
3516 edge of the window, clicking on the extra bit now works.
3518 Added a size limit of 400K on application icons. This is to prevent
3519 someone trying to crash the filer by linking /tmp/MyApp/AppIcon.xpm
3522 Dragging an item with the middle button when none are selected unselects
3523 the item after the drag.
3525 Added 'Show Location' feature for pinboard and panels - opens a directory
3526 showing where the file really is.
3530 Allowed items in the far right column to spread right to the edge of the
3531 window. Fixed a bug which prevented Delete from working if there was
3536 Deleting items first checks if it will affect the pinboard or panel. A
3537 warning is displayed if so.
3539 Upgraded the query dialog (from ROX-Session) - looks nicer.
3543 'Unique filer windows' option now has no effect while the spring open
3544 feature is active (spotted by Andrew Booker). Also, when opening a new
3545 window, the old window is destroyed and a new one created (rather than
3546 reusing the old one). This ensures that the new window appears in the
3549 When a drag from the pinboard or a filer window ends, the selection is
3550 only cleared if the icon was selected by starting the drag. Thus, it now
3551 works like the panels.
3555 New Close toolbar button (requested by Martin Ward).
3556 Toolbar icons can be turned on and off from the Options box.
3557 Removed the 'Mount' menu entry, since 'Shift Open' does it too.
3558 Made the Shift Open menu text change depending on what is selected.
3559 Bugfix: dragging icons around no longer saved the new pinboard state!
3563 Running a second copy of the filer as another user will start a new copy
3564 instead of reusing the existing one. Added the '-u' option to display the
3565 name of the user running the filer in each window (also suppresses the
3566 normal don't-run-as-root warning).
3568 Added '-d', which opens a directory as a directory, even if it looks like
3573 Added Large and Small toolbar buttons. Right-clicking brings up a menu.
3577 Moved 'Set Run Action' to the file menu (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon), and
3578 made using it bring up a dialog rather than a minibuffer. Hopefully it is now
3581 Added much improved icons for executables and for applications without icons
3582 of their own (Victor Liu See-le).
3584 Allow '/' on the pinboard and panel (text wasn't displayed - spotted by
3587 Bugfix: auto-scrolling didn't always stop when a drag ended.
3588 Bugfix: creating a panel with the same name as a file in the current
3589 directory caused an error due to a throwback from when panels were
3590 directories (spotted by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3592 30-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.27)
3594 Increased the distance you have to move the pointer to start a drag
3595 slightly. Updated the manual.
3597 Panel icons can now be moved from one side to the other by simply moving
3598 over the gap in the middle. Previously, you had to jump over an icon on
3601 Left and right panels look better now. Also, they shrink if you add a top
3602 or bottom panel to make room.
3606 Dragging on the panel background allows you to slide the bar back and
3611 Fixed a slight bug with lasso boxes, which could cause them to be drawn in
3612 the wrong place. Install script no longer overwrites the default run
3613 actions; if the user has changed them leave them alone!
3614 (Martin Ward noted that symlinking to an executable would cause the
3615 executable to be destroyed on upgrade!)
3619 More improvements to the event handling. Seems to be working again at
3621 Made the toolbar buttons slightly larger, and added a textual display
3622 for 'Next Click' mode (eg 'Delete ... ?' when it's waiting for you to
3624 Moved the pinboard over to the new mouse binding code too.
3628 Started rewriting the event handling for filer windows to go through
3629 the new code in bind.c, like the panel handling does.
3633 You can now drag icons from the panel to other applications.
3637 Dragging panel icons with the middle button allows you to move them around.
3639 New option to set the default height for new filer windows (patch from
3644 Selecting panel icons now grabs the primary selection. Pasting pastes all
3645 selected file path names. Icons can now be added to either side of the panel.
3647 Bug fix: Moving a file didn't always update the source directory.
3651 Many improvements to the panel - drag and drop to icons, adding new icons,
3652 selections (doesn't grab the primary selection yet though), removing icons
3653 and automatically saving the panel when it's changed.
3657 Improved reference counting on images (hopefully!). Lots of work on
3658 rewriting the panel system.
3662 Made the timeout for the spring-open feature configurable (requested by
3665 Use short form of --version in install.sh and don't use unsetenv() if it
3666 isn't available (Mattias Engdegård).
3670 New options to set the pinboard text foreground and background colours
3671 (suggested by James Kermode).
3675 Your home directory is now displayed as '~' in the title bar, rather
3676 than as a full path.
3678 01-Aug-2000 (Release 0.1.26)
3680 Added a popup menu of commonly used chmod strings to the Permissions
3681 box. Bracketed text and spaces are now ignored in the commands.
3682 Bug fix: Only menu keys changed since the last load were saved!
3686 Bug fix: Mount points on the pinboard didn't always redraw when the
3687 mounted/unmounted state changed.
3691 Renaming now uses the action windows. This means that you can now
3692 rename something onto another filesystem.
3696 The menu key bindings are now only saved if they actually changed.
3698 Code tidying: Moved some typedefs to the new `global.h' file and
3699 thus removed the dependencies between header files :-)
3703 Tab and Shift-Tab move to next and previous selected item.
3707 The new display styles can now be saved as the defaults (bug spotted by
3710 When autoscrolling is used, prevent the last-highlighted directory
3711 from springing open. 'spring open' now defaults to off.
3713 The toolbar Up and Home buttons can act as drop targets (and spring open
3716 Options to set the pinboard text background style (suggested by James
3721 Added an option to control the spring-loading feature. Added tooltips
3722 to some of the options. Improved the rule for deciding whether to open
3723 a new window when you click on the toolbar buttons.
3725 Stopped the spring-open window moving while it's open (prevents a bug
3726 in GTK+ from causing problems). Please use GTK+ 1.2.8 or later now!
3728 Dragging near the edge of a window scrolls. Improved the lasso box drag
3729 to use the same system (so it scrolls without you having to move the
3734 Added 'spring-loaded' directories. If you drag a file over a directory and
3735 hold it there, the directory will spring open! (suggested by Barney
3740 In the path entry minibuffer, an exact match is favoured over any other
3741 match. So, if you enter '.xsession' and press Return you'll get it, not
3742 '.xsession-errors' or whatever!
3744 The filer now clears APP_DIR from the environment so that child processes
3745 don't get it. Fixed a bug which caused problems when using a small version
3746 of the 'missing image' image.
3750 Creating a new directory now makes sure the display is updated.
3752 18-Jul-2000 (Release 0.1.25)
3754 Prevent dragging from a pinboard selection to itself, or onto the desktop
3759 Clicking on the root window works (button-1 clears the selection,
3760 button-3 opens the pinboard menu). The pinboard can own the primary
3761 selection, which means that you can select something and then paste
3762 its name into another program.
3764 Keys bound to menu entries are automatically saved when the filer quits.
3768 Changed the install script so that the CVS directories don't get installed.
3770 The 'rox' script now just calls AppRun directly.
3771 Panels can be created without starting a new copy of the filer.
3772 The pinboard can be changed or removed by using --pinboard a second time.
3774 Files can be given as arguments - they are opened as if they were clicked
3775 on in a filer window (suggested by Alex Holden). If no arguments are
3776 given then the default is now the current directory (not your home
3779 If you start the leafname in the path minibuffer with '.' then the Show
3780 Hidden feature is temporarily turned on.
3784 Ctrl-clicking selects and unselects pinboard icons. Menu clicking
3785 selects the icon clicked on while the menu is open. Pinned icons are
3786 now updated when the pointer moves over them, if necessary.
3790 Menu-clicking on a pinboard icon now brings up a menu.
3791 Clicks on the root window are still ignored though; need to support
3792 the GNOME-compliant window manager system for passing root clicks on...
3796 Files can now be dragged to pinboard icons, and they highlight nicely too!
3797 If the --override option is used, the filer will bypass the window manager
3798 and position the icons directly.
3802 Pinboard icons can now be dragged to filer windows or applications, just
3807 Changed the DnD code to make it easier for the pinboard code to use it.
3808 Up and Home buttons on the toolbar now use the 'New window on button 1'
3809 option setting (suggested by Vincent Lefèvre).
3813 Pinboard can have mount points and symlinks on it.
3817 Dragging with the Menu button moves icons around. Clicking with the
3818 other button removes icons from the pinboard.
3822 Dragging files to the pinboard adds them to it and automatically saves
3827 Pinboard is now loaded from a file specified on the command line.
3831 'Home' now appears on the background if you run it with --pinboard.
3832 Clicking opens your home directory. Doesn't do much else.
3833 Fixed a bug which prevented the minibuffer label from appearing on
3834 some versions of GTK+.
3838 First steps towards pinboard support (requested by P.S.S.Camp and
3843 Changed the Display menu layout - now there are four basic types (Large or
3844 Small, with or without details) and the type of detail desired is chosen
3845 from a sub-sub-menu.
3847 Added a new display style - bars showing the sizes of the files. The bars are
3848 drawn on a log scale.
3852 Changed the display menu - you can now choose large or small icons, with or
3853 without details. The details displayed can also be changed. I'm not quite
3854 happy with the UI yet though...
3856 Split the filer.c source file into two (filer.c and display.c) since it was
3857 becoming rather unwieldy. This means that some of the option names have
3858 changed because they've moved to a new section in the options window...
3862 Fixed a problem where ImLib support failed on multi-depth displays (reported
3863 by Stephen Harrison).
3865 06-Jun-2000 (Release 0.1.24)
3867 Added the install.sh script for easier installation.
3868 Removed 'MIME-info' file from ROX-Filer - now we always assume that the
3869 standard types are in Choices.
3870 Fixed a bug which could cause 'top' panels to appear in the wrong place
3872 Changed the sort order for Sort By Type so that directories come before
3873 files (suggested by Chris Garrett).
3874 `Single-click navigation' and 'Ignore case when sorting' now both default
3879 Improved the theme support to allow tiled background images.
3880 Fixed a bug which prevented tilde expansion from working in the
3881 shell command minibuffer.
3885 Made the help button look a bit nicer and changed the Find and Permissions
3886 action windows to use the icon instead of a text button.
3887 Removed the 3D borders from the help and toolbar buttons when not selected
3888 (looks much better!). Setting a run action by dragging to a symlink now
3889 dereferences the link (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
3891 Default search path for Choices is now:
3892 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
3894 Fixed (possibly) a bug which sometimes causes the redraw to miss bits. This
3895 probably slows everything down, but the next Gtk+ release should do double
3896 buffering so all this will get changed then...
3900 Added a Help icon to the toolbar, which does the same as choosing `Show
3901 ROX-Filer Help' from the menu.
3905 Started adding some code to truncate long filenames (not finished yet).
3906 Fixed a bug which could cause directories to appear empty when using VFS.
3907 Added the 'Select If' minibuffer, which selects all files matching the
3912 Moved most of the icons from pixmaps to MIME-icons (outside ROX-Filer).
3913 Updated several of the remaining icons by copying them from the GNOME
3914 desktop (suggested by Volker Braun).
3917 16-May-2000 (Release 0.1.23)
3919 Added the `Window->Set Run Action' menu item. This allows you to specify the
3920 default run action for a file by simply dragging the file into a program.
3921 You can also enter a shell command in the minibuffer to make that command
3923 The cursor is a bit nicer and usually appears where you want it to now. You
3924 can also get rid of it by pressing Escape.
3928 Applied Bernard's patch (a couple of cosmetic changes to the action windows).
3929 Applied Vincent's patch (minor updates to the Frech translation).
3930 Fixed a problem with the pixmap caching - the filer would detect that the
3931 file had changed and try to reload it, but ImLib would simply return its
3936 Removed a debugging message that had somehow got into the release version :-(
3937 Fixed a bug in the minibuffer code - pressing Return when the cursor was in
3938 an empty directory caused odd effects.
3940 24-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.22)
3942 When starting, the filer will check to see if it is already running.
3943 If it is then the arguments are passed to that copy.
3947 Bug fix: Attempting to open a Find preview window could cause a crash
3948 if the directory containing the item could not be opened.
3949 Button-3 clicking on the toolbar icons opens a new window.
3954 Added Vincent Lefevre's French translation. Changed to using my own
3955 gettext function because some platforms don't have it or implement
3958 18-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.21)
3960 Completed marking translatable strings. Dragging with the middle button
3965 Made lots of changes to the way menus are stored; this makes i18n of the
3970 Added GNU gettext support.
3971 Shell meta-characters in shell commands are escaped.
3975 Tab in the shell commands minibuffer does shell-style completion.
3977 14-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.20)
3979 ImLib is used for rendering if possible. Small Icons super-samples the
3984 Copying from inside a VFS directory now works.
3988 Added the Shell Command feature to the minibuffer.
3989 Fixed a bug which causes unnecessary flickering when a hidden file was
3991 Removed 'Touch' from the menu; easy enough from the minibuffer now.
3992 Changed the type guessing system - scans all files in MIME-info directories
3997 Added a nice list displaying the found files. Clicking opens a preview window
3998 onto the directory and winks the file.
4002 Merged the MIME-Type and Special fields in the info window into a single
4003 Type field (since only one could be used at a time anyway).
4004 Made lots of changes to the panel menu. You can now remove things much more
4006 Unstat()able files now display the error message in the Full Info display,
4007 instead of random values.
4008 Check for copying a directory onto itself, as well as into itself.
4010 Applied Bernard's patch:
4011 - Copy (menu entry) now works with action window.
4012 - Deleted/moved directory displays are automatically hidden.
4013 - Added option not to allow run/copy when object
4014 dragged to filer (not panels) icons. Some people like
4015 it the RISC OS way...
4016 - Full info alignment of App objects and owner/group
4017 alignment corrected.
4018 - Info window: added special info for symlinks, apps
4023 Added support for mc's Virtual File System.
4027 New Window appears greyed out if Unique Windows is selected.
4028 Added 'Permissions' (chmod) feature.
4032 Added Bernard Jungen's patch:
4033 - Dates are displayed in a more RISC OS like format.
4034 - (Scanning) is shown in the titlebar during scans.
4035 - Option to only display one window per directory.
4036 - User and group names displayed in the Full Info view.
4037 - Open Parent in the root does nothing.
4038 - Errors in options are only reported once.
4039 - File does chdir() if -b isn't possible (prevents getting the full path
4040 in the file(1) says... box).
