2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
7 Changed the Display menu layout - now there are four basic types (Large or
8 Small, with or without details) and the type of detail desired is chosen
11 Added a new display style - bars showing the sizes of the files. The bars are
16 Changed the display menu - you can now choose large or small icons, with or
17 without details. The details displayed can also be changed. I'm not quite
18 happy with the UI yet though...
20 Split the filer.c source file into two (filer.c and display.c) since it was
21 becoming rather unwieldy. This means that some of the option names have
22 changed because they've moved to a new section in the options window...
26 Fixed a problem where ImLib support failed on multi-depth displays (reported
29 06-Jun-2000 (Release 0.1.24)
31 Added the install.sh script for easier installation.
32 Removed 'MIME-info' file from ROX-Filer - now we always assume that the
33 standard types are in Choices.
34 Fixed a bug which could cause 'top' panels to appear in the wrong place
36 Changed the sort order for Sort By Type so that directories come before
37 files (suggested by Chris Garrett).
38 `Single-click navigation' and 'Ignore case when sorting' now both default
43 Improved the theme support to allow tiled background images.
44 Fixed a bug which prevented tilde expansion from working in the
45 shell command minibuffer.
49 Made the help button look a bit nicer and changed the Find and Permissions
50 action windows to use the icon instead of a text button.
51 Removed the 3D borders from the help and toolbar buttons when not selected
52 (looks much better!). Setting a run action by dragging to a symlink now
53 dereferences the link (suggested by Ewan Mac Mahon).
55 Default search path for Choices is now:
56 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
58 Fixed (possibly) a bug which sometimes causes the redraw to miss bits. This
59 probably slows everything down, but the next Gtk+ release should do double
60 buffering so all this will get changed then...
64 Added a Help icon to the toolbar, which does the same as choosing `Show
65 ROX-Filer Help' from the menu.
69 Started adding some code to truncate long filenames (not finished yet).
70 Fixed a bug which could cause directories to appear empty when using VFS.
71 Added the 'Select If' minibuffer, which selects all files matching the
76 Moved most of the icons from pixmaps to MIME-icons (outside ROX-Filer).
77 Updated several of the remaining icons by copying them from the GNOME
78 desktop (suggested by Volker Braun).
81 16-May-2000 (Release 0.1.23)
83 Added the `Window->Set Run Action' menu item. This allows you to specify the
84 default run action for a file by simply dragging the file into a program.
85 You can also enter a shell command in the minibuffer to make that command
87 The cursor is a bit nicer and usually appears where you want it to now. You
88 can also get rid of it by pressing Escape.
92 Applied Bernard's patch (a couple of cosmetic changes to the action windows).
93 Applied Vincent's patch (minor updates to the Frech translation).
94 Fixed a problem with the pixmap caching - the filer would detect that the
95 file had changed and try to reload it, but ImLib would simply return its
100 Removed a debugging message that had somehow got into the release version :-(
101 Fixed a bug in the minibuffer code - pressing Return when the cursor was in
102 an empty directory caused odd effects.
104 24-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.22)
106 When starting, the filer will check to see if it is already running.
107 If it is then the arguments are passed to that copy.
111 Bug fix: Attempting to open a Find preview window could cause a crash
112 if the directory containing the item could not be opened.
113 Button-3 clicking on the toolbar icons opens a new window.
118 Added Vincent Lefevre's French translation. Changed to using my own
119 gettext function because some platforms don't have it or implement
122 18-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.21)
124 Completed marking translatable strings. Dragging with the middle button
129 Made lots of changes to the way menus are stored; this makes i18n of the
134 Added GNU gettext support.
135 Shell meta-characters in shell commands are escaped.
139 Tab in the shell commands minibuffer does shell-style completion.
141 14-Apr-2000 (Release 0.1.20)
143 ImLib is used for rendering if possible. Small Icons super-samples the
148 Copying from inside a VFS directory now works.
152 Added the Shell Command feature to the minibuffer.
153 Fixed a bug which causes unnecessary flickering when a hidden file was
155 Removed 'Touch' from the menu; easy enough from the minibuffer now.
156 Changed the type guessing system - scans all files in MIME-info directories
161 Added a nice list displaying the found files. Clicking opens a preview window
162 onto the directory and winks the file.
166 Merged the MIME-Type and Special fields in the info window into a single
167 Type field (since only one could be used at a time anyway).
168 Made lots of changes to the panel menu. You can now remove things much more
170 Unstat()able files now display the error message in the Full Info display,
171 instead of random values.
172 Check for copying a directory onto itself, as well as into itself.
174 Applied Bernard's patch:
175 - Copy (menu entry) now works with action window.
176 - Deleted/moved directory displays are automatically hidden.
177 - Added option not to allow run/copy when object
178 dragged to filer (not panels) icons. Some people like
179 it the RISC OS way...
180 - Full info alignment of App objects and owner/group
182 - Info window: added special info for symlinks, apps
187 Added support for mc's Virtual File System.
191 New Window appears greyed out if Unique Windows is selected.
192 Added 'Permissions' (chmod) feature.
196 Added Bernard Jungen's patch:
197 - Dates are displayed in a more RISC OS like format.
198 - (Scanning) is shown in the titlebar during scans.
199 - Option to only display one window per directory.
200 - User and group names displayed in the Full Info view.
201 - Open Parent in the root does nothing.
202 - Errors in options are only reported once.
203 - File does chdir() if -b isn't possible (prevents getting the full path
204 in the file(1) says... box).
