2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
7 Dragging files to the pinboard adds them to it and automatically saves
12 Pinboard is now loaded from a file specified on the command line.
16 'Home' now appears on the background if you run it with --pinboard.
17 Clicking opens your home directory. Doesn't do much else.
18 Fixed a bug which prevented the minibuffer label from appearing on
19 some versions of GTK+.
23 First steps towards pinboard support.
27 Changed the Display menu layout - now there are four basic types (Large or
28 Small, with or without details) and the type of detail desired is chosen
31 Added a new display style - bars showing the sizes of the files. The bars are
36 Changed the display menu - you can now choose large or small icons, with or
37 without details. The details displayed can also be changed. I'm not quite
38 happy with the UI yet though...
40 Split the filer.c source file into two (filer.c and display.c) since it was
41 becoming rather unwieldy. This means that some of the option names have
42 changed because they've moved to a new section in the options window...
46 Fixed a problem where ImLib support failed on multi-depth displays (reported
49 06-Jun-2000 (Release 0.1.24)
51 Added the install.sh script for easier installation.
52 Removed 'MIME-info' file from ROX-Filer - now we always assume that the
53 standard types are in Choices.
54 Fixed a bug which could cause 'top' panels to appear in the wrong place
56 Changed the sort order for Sort By Type so that directories come before
57 files (suggested by Chris Garrett).
58 `Single-click navigation' and 'Ignore case when sorting' now both default
63 Improved the theme support to allow tiled background images.
64 Fixed a bug which prevented tilde expansion from working in the
65 shell command minibuffer.
69 Made the help button look a bit nicer and changed the Find and Permissions
70 action windows to use the icon instead of a text button.
71 Removed the 3D borders from the help and toolbar buttons when not selected
72 (looks much better!). Setting a run action by dragging to a symlink now
73 dereferences the link (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
75 Default search path for Choices is now:
76 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
78 Fixed (possibly) a bug which sometimes causes the redraw to miss bits. This
79 probably slows everything down, but the next Gtk+ release should do double
80 buffering so all this will get changed then...
84 Added a Help icon to the toolbar, which does the same as choosing `Show
85 ROX-Filer Help' from the menu.
89 Started adding some code to truncate long filenames (not finished yet).
90 Fixed a bug which could cause directories to appear empty when using VFS.
91 Added the 'Select If' minibuffer, which selects all files matching the
96 Moved most of the icons from pixmaps to MIME-icons (outside ROX-Filer).
97 Updated several of the remaining icons by copying them from the GNOME
98 desktop (suggested by Volker Braun).
101 16-May-2000 (Release 0.1.23)
103 Added the `Window->Set Run Action' menu item. This allows you to specify the
104 default run action for a file by simply dragging the file into a program.
105 You can also enter a shell command in the minibuffer to make that command
107 The cursor is a bit nicer and usually appears where you want it to now. You
108 can also get rid of it by pressing Escape.
112 Applied Bernard's patch (a couple of cosmetic changes to the action windows).
113 Applied Vincent's patch (minor updates to the Frech translation).
114 Fixed a problem with the pixmap caching - the filer would detect that the
115 file had changed and try to reload it, but ImLib would simply return its
120 Removed a debugging message that had somehow got into the release version :-(
121 Fixed a bug in the minibuffer code - pressing Return when the cursor was in
122 an empty directory caused odd effects.
124 24-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.22)
126 When starting, the filer will check to see if it is already running.
127 If it is then the arguments are passed to that copy.
131 Bug fix: Attempting to open a Find preview window could cause a crash
132 if the directory containing the item could not be opened.
133 Button-3 clicking on the toolbar icons opens a new window.
138 Added Vincent Lefevre's French translation. Changed to using my own
139 gettext function because some platforms don't have it or implement
142 18-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.21)
144 Completed marking translatable strings. Dragging with the middle button
149 Made lots of changes to the way menus are stored; this makes i18n of the
154 Added GNU gettext support.
155 Shell meta-characters in shell commands are escaped.
159 Tab in the shell commands minibuffer does shell-style completion.
161 14-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.20)
163 ImLib is used for rendering if possible. Small Icons super-samples the
168 Copying from inside a VFS directory now works.
172 Added the Shell Command feature to the minibuffer.
173 Fixed a bug which causes unnecessary flickering when a hidden file was
175 Removed 'Touch' from the menu; easy enough from the minibuffer now.
176 Changed the type guessing system - scans all files in MIME-info directories
181 Added a nice list displaying the found files. Clicking opens a preview window
182 onto the directory and winks the file.
186 Merged the MIME-Type and Special fields in the info window into a single
187 Type field (since only one could be used at a time anyway).
188 Made lots of changes to the panel menu. You can now remove things much more
190 Unstat()able files now display the error message in the Full Info display,
191 instead of random values.
192 Check for copying a directory onto itself, as well as into itself.
194 Applied Bernard's patch:
195 - Copy (menu entry) now works with action window.
196 - Deleted/moved directory displays are automatically hidden.
197 - Added option not to allow run/copy when object
198 dragged to filer (not panels) icons. Some people like
199 it the RISC OS way...
200 - Full info alignment of App objects and owner/group
202 - Info window: added special info for symlinks, apps
207 Added support for mc's Virtual File System.
211 New Window appears greyed out if Unique Windows is selected.
212 Added 'Permissions' (chmod) feature.
216 Added Bernard Jungen's patch:
217 - Dates are displayed in a more RISC OS like format.
218 - (Scanning) is shown in the titlebar during scans.
219 - Option to only display one window per directory.
220 - User and group names displayed in the Full Info view.
221 - Open Parent in the root does nothing.
222 - Errors in options are only reported once.
223 - File does chdir() if -b isn't possible (prevents getting the full path
224 in the file(1) says... box).
