2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
7 Files can now be dragged to pinboard icons, and they highlight nicely too!
8 If the --override option is used, the filer will bypass the window manager
9 and position the icons directly.
13 Pinboard icons can now be dragged to filer windows or applications, just
18 Changed the DnD code to make it easier for the pinboard code to use it.
19 Up and Home buttons on the toolbar now use the 'New window on button 1'
24 Pinboard can have mount points and symlinks on it.
28 Dragging with the Menu button moves icons around. Clicking with the
29 other button removes icons from the pinboard.
33 Dragging files to the pinboard adds them to it and automatically saves
38 Pinboard is now loaded from a file specified on the command line.
42 'Home' now appears on the background if you run it with --pinboard.
43 Clicking opens your home directory. Doesn't do much else.
44 Fixed a bug which prevented the minibuffer label from appearing on
45 some versions of GTK+.
49 First steps towards pinboard support.
53 Changed the Display menu layout - now there are four basic types (Large or
54 Small, with or without details) and the type of detail desired is chosen
57 Added a new display style - bars showing the sizes of the files. The bars are
62 Changed the display menu - you can now choose large or small icons, with or
63 without details. The details displayed can also be changed. I'm not quite
64 happy with the UI yet though...
66 Split the filer.c source file into two (filer.c and display.c) since it was
67 becoming rather unwieldy. This means that some of the option names have
68 changed because they've moved to a new section in the options window...
72 Fixed a problem where ImLib support failed on multi-depth displays (reported
75 06-Jun-2000 (Release 0.1.24)
77 Added the install.sh script for easier installation.
78 Removed 'MIME-info' file from ROX-Filer - now we always assume that the
79 standard types are in Choices.
80 Fixed a bug which could cause 'top' panels to appear in the wrong place
82 Changed the sort order for Sort By Type so that directories come before
83 files (suggested by Chris Garrett).
84 `Single-click navigation' and 'Ignore case when sorting' now both default
89 Improved the theme support to allow tiled background images.
90 Fixed a bug which prevented tilde expansion from working in the
91 shell command minibuffer.
95 Made the help button look a bit nicer and changed the Find and Permissions
96 action windows to use the icon instead of a text button.
97 Removed the 3D borders from the help and toolbar buttons when not selected
98 (looks much better!). Setting a run action by dragging to a symlink now
99 dereferences the link (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
101 Default search path for Choices is now:
102 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
104 Fixed (possibly) a bug which sometimes causes the redraw to miss bits. This
105 probably slows everything down, but the next Gtk+ release should do double
106 buffering so all this will get changed then...
110 Added a Help icon to the toolbar, which does the same as choosing `Show
111 ROX-Filer Help' from the menu.
115 Started adding some code to truncate long filenames (not finished yet).
116 Fixed a bug which could cause directories to appear empty when using VFS.
117 Added the 'Select If' minibuffer, which selects all files matching the
122 Moved most of the icons from pixmaps to MIME-icons (outside ROX-Filer).
123 Updated several of the remaining icons by copying them from the GNOME
124 desktop (suggested by Volker Braun).
127 16-May-2000 (Release 0.1.23)
129 Added the `Window->Set Run Action' menu item. This allows you to specify the
130 default run action for a file by simply dragging the file into a program.
131 You can also enter a shell command in the minibuffer to make that command
133 The cursor is a bit nicer and usually appears where you want it to now. You
134 can also get rid of it by pressing Escape.
138 Applied Bernard's patch (a couple of cosmetic changes to the action windows).
139 Applied Vincent's patch (minor updates to the Frech translation).
140 Fixed a problem with the pixmap caching - the filer would detect that the
141 file had changed and try to reload it, but ImLib would simply return its
146 Removed a debugging message that had somehow got into the release version :-(
147 Fixed a bug in the minibuffer code - pressing Return when the cursor was in
148 an empty directory caused odd effects.
150 24-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.22)
152 When starting, the filer will check to see if it is already running.
153 If it is then the arguments are passed to that copy.
157 Bug fix: Attempting to open a Find preview window could cause a crash
158 if the directory containing the item could not be opened.
159 Button-3 clicking on the toolbar icons opens a new window.
164 Added Vincent Lefevre's French translation. Changed to using my own
165 gettext function because some platforms don't have it or implement
168 18-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.21)
170 Completed marking translatable strings. Dragging with the middle button
175 Made lots of changes to the way menus are stored; this makes i18n of the
180 Added GNU gettext support.
181 Shell meta-characters in shell commands are escaped.
185 Tab in the shell commands minibuffer does shell-style completion.
187 14-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.20)
189 ImLib is used for rendering if possible. Small Icons super-samples the
194 Copying from inside a VFS directory now works.
198 Added the Shell Command feature to the minibuffer.
199 Fixed a bug which causes unnecessary flickering when a hidden file was
201 Removed 'Touch' from the menu; easy enough from the minibuffer now.
202 Changed the type guessing system - scans all files in MIME-info directories
207 Added a nice list displaying the found files. Clicking opens a preview window
208 onto the directory and winks the file.
212 Merged the MIME-Type and Special fields in the info window into a single
213 Type field (since only one could be used at a time anyway).
214 Made lots of changes to the panel menu. You can now remove things much more
216 Unstat()able files now display the error message in the Full Info display,
217 instead of random values.
218 Check for copying a directory onto itself, as well as into itself.
220 Applied Bernard's patch:
221 - Copy (menu entry) now works with action window.
222 - Deleted/moved directory displays are automatically hidden.
223 - Added option not to allow run/copy when object
224 dragged to filer (not panels) icons. Some people like
225 it the RISC OS way...
226 - Full info alignment of App objects and owner/group
228 - Info window: added special info for symlinks, apps
233 Added support for mc's Virtual File System.
237 New Window appears greyed out if Unique Windows is selected.
238 Added 'Permissions' (chmod) feature.
242 Added Bernard Jungen's patch:
243 - Dates are displayed in a more RISC OS like format.
244 - (Scanning) is shown in the titlebar during scans.
245 - Option to only display one window per directory.
246 - User and group names displayed in the Full Info view.
247 - Open Parent in the root does nothing.
248 - Errors in options are only reported once.
249 - File does chdir() if -b isn't possible (prevents getting the full path
250 in the file(1) says... box).
