Version 4.08 19-02-2017
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug accidentally introduced in previous version.
|
|
If "show parent firectory" was active, the closer widget
|
|
did not close the window completely anymore; instead,
|
|
the window switched to the parent directory.
|
|
|
|
- Changed behaviour: options "Show subdirectories" and
|
|
"Show parent" are completely separated. Earlier behaviour was
|
|
that, if "Show subfolders" was not active, the parent (..)
|
|
was not shown either.
|
|
|
|
- Fixing of a bug that froze Teradesk when copying a file from
|
|
a folder in a path containing a hidden folder did NOT succeed.
|
|
The bug remains, unfortunately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 4.07 26-11-2016
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Added a choice of behaviour when opening links to directories.
|
|
The default behaviour of TeraDesk has been changed: If a directory
|
|
window is opened from a link in a directory window, path of the
|
|
opened window will now be a continuation of the path of the directory
|
|
where the link is. However, if the left [Shift] key is kept pressed
|
|
while opening the link, the path of the opened window will be that of the
|
|
actual opened directory (which is the behaviour of previous versions of
|
|
TeraDesk. Currently, this feature exists only for directory windows.
|
|
Links to directories opened from desktop icons retain the previous behaviour,
|
|
which may or may not make sense, depending on one's point of view. It should
|
|
be noted that, if "Show parent" option is set, links of root directories will
|
|
not show the "parent" item (..).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a problem with deleting twice a menu-item when simplifying
|
|
the menus in single-tasking version.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a division by zero when opening an empty folder (strangely,
|
|
this was a very old bug that was not noticed before by anyone).
|
|
|
|
- Updated the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 4.06 29-09-2014
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Added option for case-insensitive directory sorting.
|
|
|
|
- Updated the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 4.05 7-12-2013
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fixed several errors that, together, disabled the use of the drive 'Z'
|
|
(only A-Y were possible).
|
|
|
|
- Added capability to alter vertical and horizontal icon distance on the desktop,
|
|
as well as the offset of icons from the upper left corner of the desktop.
|
|
This is set in the Window Options dialog. The capability is of interest
|
|
when TeraDesk is run in high screen resolutions, when larger icons
|
|
can be used.
|
|
|
|
- Removed unnecessary modification of the height of the Set Desk Icons
|
|
dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Updated text headers related to GPL in all files.
|
|
|
|
- Updated the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 4.04 18-01-2013
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- A number of changes made by H. Robbers to enable compilation for Coldfire
|
|
using AHCC. Project file DESK_CF.PRJ should be used to build the program.
|
|
Unlike the other project files (DESKTOP.PRJ and DESKTOS.PRJ), this project
|
|
file is for the AHCC compiler only; PureC can not be used. The Coldfire
|
|
binary is supposed to be compatible with 68020 and higher processors.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an error that appeared with _MENUDEL option disabled in the project.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some insignificant errors and warnings which showed when compiling
|
|
with AHCC source.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed missing buttons in the name-conflict dialog when copying a single
|
|
folder-type item.
|
|
|
|
- Made several updates in the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 4.03 23-01-2011
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Removed what seems to be some unnecessary code related to handling
|
|
windows and desktop icons. Hopefully nothing was broken.
|
|
|
|
- Added capability to define offsets of desktop icons from the
|
|
upper and left edge of the desktop area. Offsets can be defined
|
|
by two new parameters in the configuration file: xoff= and yoff=
|
|
in the deskicons{} section. These parameters can only be changed
|
|
by manually modifying the configuration file. Program size
|
|
increased by 70 bytes only.
|
|
|
|
- Tidying-up of the source code.
|
|
|
|
- Source of the AHCM library linked into TeraDesk is included by
|
|
permission from Henk Robbers. Users should note that there is a
|
|
newer version of AHCM at Henk's web site. That version will produce
|
|
a somewhat larger executable of TeraDesk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 4.02 25-12-2009
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fixed undesired behaviour that occured when right moue button
|
|
was pressed for a long time insteead of just clicked.
|
|
|
|
- Added several corrections by H.Robbers in order to enable
|
|
correct compilation with AHCC
|
|
|
|
- Some small optimizations made in the code. Program size
|
|
reduced by a couple of bytes.
|
|
|
|
- Tidying-up of the source code. A number of comments added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 4.01 20-04-2009
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- An improvement was (hopefully) made in the shutdown procedure. Probably
|
|
because of ambiguous documentation, different AESes use different
|
|
parameters (wiscr vs. wisgr) in shel_write() to activate shutdown!
|
|
TeraDesk now tries better to account for these differences by setting
|
|
all of the alternative parameters. Btw. it seems that, in fact, none
|
|
of the AESes implements whutdown procedure completely and as it looks
|
|
to have been designed to be (e.g. what about 'shutdown completed'
|
|
message?)
|
|
|
|
- When copying files to filesystems that know of user/group ids, TeraDesk
|
|
now sets current user uid/gid instead of keeping the original one.
|
|
This is tought to be more appropriate. When moving files, the original
|
|
uid/gid is kept.
|
|
|
|
- (Almost) fixed a problem with copying files to network file systems.
|
|
The problem was caused by denial of access to change destination file
|
|
attributes and access rights. An improvement has been made and this mostly
|
|
works correct now, but a problem remains with some (not all) network
|
|
file systems if they have user-id-mapping activated. In that case, an
|
|
attempt to set uid/gid on destination through Fchown() fails. It seemed
|
|
at first that Dpathconf() could be used to divine whether uid/gid is
|
|
available for setting, but, unfortunately, no useful information could
|
|
be detected this way. As a very ugly last measure, TeraDesk now ignores
|
|
errors from Fchown() if destination path is at u:\nfs\.....
|
|
|
|
- Some mistakes in the hypertext manual have been corrected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 4.00 25-12-2008
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Improved formatting when displaying large file or folder sizes. They will
|
|
be displayed in kilobytes (for values larger than cca 9.9 MB) or in
|
|
megabytes (for values larger than about 9.9 GB)- appropriate suffix 'K'
|
|
or 'M' will be added. Numerical string lengths are never supposed to
|
|
exceed 7 decimal places.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the 2 GB limit for the sum of file sizes in a selection or in a
|
|
partition. New limit is 2 TB. Provisions made in the code to easily
|
|
change the limit to 2 EB at compilation time, but then large sums and
|
|
sizes will have to be displayed in megabytes instead of kilobytes (which
|
|
may become more appropriate in a year or so). Size limit for a partition
|
|
is now 1 billion clusters which is at least a couple of TB. Size limit for
|
|
one individual file is still 2 GB, because of the limitations of the
|
|
operating system(s). The improvement works only on the multitasking
|
|
version of TeraDesk. The single-tasking is not fully enabled for the
|
|
extended size limits, whish are above the single-TOS possible partition
|
|
sizes anyway.
|
|
|
|
- Enabled the use of links referencing paths relative to the directory of
|
|
the link, i.e. paths starting with ".\" and "..\".
|
|
|
|
- Permitted overwriting of symbolic links with regular files (and v.v.)
|
|
in copy operations. In previous versions only items of identical types
|
|
could be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the problem of file-copying aborting when a long-filename item was
|
|
copied to a partition with 8+3 names. An option to skip the file has been
|
|
added, similar to options appearing in case of other errors that should
|
|
not stop the complete operation.
|
|
|
|
- Added the option to truncate long filenames when copying to a FAT (8+3)
|
|
partition instead of skipping such items (option is in the Copy & Print
|
|
dialog). In order to avoid confusing names appearing in the TeraDesk's
|
|
dialogs (the short name has to be known before an operation is attempted),
|
|
truncating is done by TeraDesk, not by the underlying filesystem (if
|
|
it is possible to get a 'preview' of the truncated name from the
|
|
operating system before attempting the operation, this will be changed).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a very old bug of Show info... for a partition -sometimes- not
|
|
showing the volume label.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an old but hitherto unnoticed bug which caused improper operation
|
|
of the slider in the icon-selector dialog (paging up did not work well).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the problem of not being able to save and load the disabled states
|
|
of some options.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some bugs that disabled the use of links to network objects.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some typo errors in certain portions of the code that were only
|
|
conditionally compiled.
|
|
|
|
- Done a certain amount of cleanup of the source code. Corrected the types
|
|
of some variables.
|
|
|
|
- Changes made in the resource file. See RESOURCE.TXT.
|
|
|
|
- Updated the hypertext manual
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.97 14-08-2008
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Made a modification that diminished the blinking effect that showed when
|
|
real-time paging a directory window with selected items. The blinking
|
|
was mostly visible in XaAES.
|
|
|
|
- Changed behaviour regarding "Save windows" option: the default is now
|
|
-not- to save windows unless the option is selected in "Window options".
|
|
This option could not be properly deselected in previous versions and
|
|
became active at each start of TeraDesk.
|
|
|
|
- Rearranged the positions of buttons in some dialogs so that "OK" is
|
|
next to "Cancel" in the lower right areas of those dialogs, in the same
|
|
position as in other dialogs.
|
|
|
|
- "Skip" and "All" buttons made invisible in some dialogs when number of
|
|
selected objects is one.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the problem of being unable to perform string search in a file
|
|
displayed in a text window, or in a number of files selected in a
|
|
directory window. The problem manifested itself only in Mint or Magic.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the bug that sometimes disabled display of the last byte in the
|
|
line when displaying a file in a text window.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the bug that sometimes caused incorrect update of directory
|
|
windows when closing them up into parent directories.
|
|
|
|
- Started adjustments that should enable correct display of information
|
|
for folders larger than 2 GB. Hopefully, this will become available in
|
|
the next release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.96 31-05-2008
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Cosmetic fix of display of size and free capacity for large disk
|
|
partitions (corrected left/right justification).
|
|
|
|
- Added "quick format" option for formatting floppy disk (only the first
|
|
two tracks are formatted, rewriting the boot sector, FATs and directory).
|
|
Use of this feature should be avoided when the numbers of tracks or
|
|
sectors per track are set differently than in the previous format.
|
|
|
|
- Enabled CT60 power-off in single-TOS version of TeraDesk.
|
|
|
|
- Improved behaviour of startup and shutdown applications regarding
|
|
prevention of multiple starting.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed "previous" format option which produced disks that were readable
|
|
on Atari but reported as unformatted in DOS.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed incorrectly written volume label if no label entered when formatting
|
|
floppy disks.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed incorrect positioning and sizing of sliders when (re)opening windows
|
|
in TOS 4.* AESes.
|
|
|
|
- Changes made in the resource file. See RESOURCE.TXT
|
|
|
|
- Hypertext user manual updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.95 10-03-2008
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused incorrect comparision and sorting
|
|
of dates and times
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug (dating several releases back) that disabled entering of
|
|
dates later than 23rd into search dialog as the high date limit.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed incorrect sorting of parent directory when 'Sort by date'
|
|
|
|
- Fixed incorrect column alignment of attributes displayed for parent
|
|
directories in directory windows
|
|
|
|
- Powering off CT60 at shutdown (in single-TOS) now works OK.
|
|
|
|
- Changed behaviour related to 'special' applications: it makes sense to
|
|
assume that, for certain types of these applications, only one instance
|
|
should be running at a time. Those types are: autostart, shutdown,
|
|
video-mode changer and floppy-formatter. In earlier releases of TeraDesk,
|
|
situations could arise when more than one instance of those applications
|
|
were initiated- e.g. if TeraDesk was restarted while an autostart-marked
|
|
application was still running, an attempt was made to start the application
|
|
again (in fact, to send it the VA_START message). Now, if such an
|
|
application is found to be already running when a 'special use' is required,
|
|
a request to start it again as 'special' is silently ignored. This change
|
|
applies only to situations when the application is started as 'special'
|
|
(e.g. at TeraDesk startup, or shutdown or...). The user can still activate
|
|
multiple instances of an autostart (or other type) application by
|
|
double-clicking on it.
|
|
|
|
- A new page added to the hypertext user manual, highlighting some TeraDesk-
|
|
specific features. Hypertext user manual also updated to reflect other
|
|
changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.94 15-12-2007
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Shutdown options reworked. There are now 'Shutdown', 'Reboot', 'Quit' and
|
|
'Cancel', and they appear in a dialog, not in an alert box. With the first
|
|
two options TeraDesk issues a shel_write() for a full shutdown and, if it
|
|
does not receive a termination message within a short while (AFAIK this
|
|
message can come only in MyAES), it performes either a system-halt/power-
|
|
down shutdown by a call to Shutdown() or a cold-reboot shutdown. If
|
|
Shutdown() function does not work on the system (e.g. in single-TOS),
|
|
TeraDesk, waits for 5 seconds and then, depending on the selected option,
|
|
either enters into an endless loop, or performs a cold reset. TeraDesk is
|
|
also supposed to be able to switch-off power of CT60 at shutdown, but
|
|
this capability has not yet been tested. Btw. there was no success in
|
|
attempts to solve the problem of shutdown in Magic, in which external
|
|
shutdown programs appear to work correctly only if Magixdesk is set as
|
|
the shell (e.g. behaviour of the SHUTDOWN program is similar and incorrect
|
|
both in Thing and TeraDesk).
|
|
|
|
- Appropriate page from the hypertext manual can now be called from any open
|
|
dialog by pressing the [HELP] key. This feature works only if dialogs are
|
|
in windowed mode- and not in the systemwide font selector dialog. In order
|
|
for the feature to work, chapter titles in the hypertext manual must
|
|
exactly match texts of menu items used to open paricular dialogs- or else
|
|
the first page of the hypertext manual will be displayed. This should
|
|
be paid attention to when translating TeraDesk resource and manual.
|
|
|
|
- A new type of 'special use' application added: the 'Right mouse button
|
|
extension'. If an installed application is marked so, normal behaviour
|
|
of TeraDesk upon a right-button click is disabled (i.e. a right click is
|
|
no more recognized as a right-button-pressed-plus-left-click) and the
|
|
marked application is activated upon each right button single-click. If
|
|
there are selected desktop or directory objects at the time of the right-
|
|
click, their names are sent to the application (VA_START is attempted).
|
|
The installed application can be anything that can do something sensible
|
|
with (a list of) object names. It should be noted that the marked
|
|
application is recognized only upon the next startup of TeraDesk
|
|
(assuming that the configuration has been saved meanwhile).
|
|
|
|
- If 'Show parent' option is active in the Set mask... dialog, i.e. if ".."
|
|
is shown in directory windows, closer widget now always closes a directory
|
|
window completely (if 'Show parent' is inactive, the closer switches the
|
|
window to the parent directory, or, if there is none, closes it completely).
|
|
The convenience of this change may be somewhat debatable. If it does not
|
|
prove itself well, it may yet be removed in a future release.
|
|
|
|
- Symbolic links to folders, when shown in directory windows, are now opened
|
|
more like real folders, i.e. in the same window, except if [Alt] is pressed
|
|
while opening, when they are opened in a new window. If a symbolic
|
|
link is opened in this way, it is not possible to go back (by clicking
|
|
on the Closer) to the folder containing the symbolic link- the parent
|
|
direcory of the link-referenced folder is opened. Same as with the
|
|
prevous change (above), the convenience of this one is debatable.
|
|
|
|
- Appropriate changes made in the resource file. See RESOURCE.TXT.
|
|
|
|
- Improved validation of strings for date and time in the Info... and
|
|
Search... dialogs.
|
|
|
|
- Slightly relaxed validation of filenames in dialog fields for the sake of
|
|
German TOS which appears to be tolerant of some rather illegal characters.
|
|
|
|
- Improved code for finding strings in files; actual search time (excluding
|
|
file reading time) reduced by about 50% (depending on file contents).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that disabled string search from finding its target if it was
|
|
at the very end of a file.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that crashed TeraDesk if WM_ARROWED message was received
|
|
(e.g. from a wheeled mouse) while the system-wide font-selector was open.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in reverse sorting of directory items which manifested itself
|
|
when there was an even number of items in a window (two items in the
|
|
middle of the list were not resorted).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the problem of not being able to enter characters with ASCII codes
|
|
above 127 in the autoselector. It seems that such characters are
|
|
permitted in long filenames (?).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed activation of background TOS programs in Mint or Magic (which seems
|
|
to have never worked correctly in any TeraDesk V3.* ???)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the bug that inconveniently caused only the topped directory window
|
|
to be updated when global file masking options (show parent, system,
|
|
hidden...) were changed.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed unwanted behaviour upon pressing UNDO when autoselector was active
|
|
and more than one directory window was open (autoselector text was
|
|
transferred to the next open window).
|
|
|
|
- Several size optimizations made, mostly by removing certain variables that
|
|
duplicated the functionality of some others, by disposing of some small
|
|
routines used only once, and by integrating some routines always used
|
|
together. Also, a number of references to array members by index were
|
|
replaced by suitable pointers.
|
|
|
|
- Some tidying-up of the source code; more comments added into code.
|
|
|
|
- Hypertext manual updated to reflect the latest changes in the program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.93 5-08-2007
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
- Search... dialog now stays open while a search is in progress. It is
|
|
now possible to abort the search by pressing ESC even if there are
|
|
open windows- which did not work in previous releases.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed editing of single-key keyboard shortcuts which was accidentally
|
|
broken in the previous release.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed shutdown type in the call to shel_write() when Quit/Shutdown menu
|
|
item is activated; it was unintentionally left as 'partial shutdown'
|
|
instead of 'full shutdown' while testing one of the earlier releases.
|
|
(note: shutdown in TeraDesk actually reboots the computer; this may
|
|
be changed in the next release).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.92 25-07-2007
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- A small change (just five lines of code) made to set TeraDesk in agreement
|
|
with Didier Mequignon's PICDESK utility for displaying desktop background
|
|
pictures. Recently, an inquiry from a user made me aware of the existence
|
|
of PICDESK, and it turned out that TeraDesk was already pretty much
|
|
compatible with it- the picture was displayed, but there were some bad
|
|
redraws. Only small corrections were needed to fix that. PICDESK and
|
|
TeraDesk work together in Atari AESes, N.AES, Geneva and MagiC, but hang
|
|
the system at statup in XaAES. Users should beware that a) TeraDesk has to
|
|
be properly set for display of background pictures (TeraDesk must start
|
|
with white desktop colour; therefore, white desktop colour should be set,
|
|
configuration saved and TeraDesk restarted), and b) redraw of monochrome
|
|
desktop icons is slowed down dramatically whenever white desktop colour is
|
|
set. These options are not recommended for users running TeraDesk on slow
|
|
machines with limited memory. Btw. there seems to be a bug in PICDESK: when
|
|
set to display monochrome IMG file, at next startup it attempts to load a
|
|
GEM file instead- and fails, of course.
|
|
|
|
- Global buffer for AV-protocol and drag & drop data is now differently
|
|
allocated. Instead of a fixed 4KB size, it is now 0.2% of the largest free
|
|
memory block at the time of allocation (but always at least 1KB and no
|
|
more than 128KB), i.e. it is 1KB with 1MB or less of free RAM, 4KB with
|
|
2MB of free RAM. If size of the largest free memory block is larger than
|
|
about 8MB, buffer size is doubled (e.g. it is 64KB with 16MB of free RAM).
|
|
The reason for this change is that the old size of this buffer sometimes
|
|
limited too much the number of long-name files that could be handled in
|
|
certain operations.
|
|
|
|
- Two small size- and speed-optimisations made.
|
|
|
|
- Copy operation can now be aborted (by pressing [Esc]) after each copy
|
|
buffer being read or written, which may be of help when copying very large
|
|
files (in earlier versions, copying was aborted only after completing the
|
|
action upon the currently processed file). In case of such abort, current
|
|
file at destination is deleted, if it already exists.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that could, under certain circumstances, lead to incorrect
|
|
contents of the destination window in case of failure of a copy/move
|
|
operation.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that caused, if white desktop background was selected and
|
|
saved, the default green to appear instead of white after restart.
|
|
|
|
- Removed an unused object from the resource file. See RESOURCE.TXT.
|
|
|
|
- Hypertext manual updated.
|
|
|

|
Version 3.91 18-06-2007
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- Capability added to read previous format of a floppy disk and format it
|
|
with identical parameters. It should be noted that this option does not
|
|
necessarily reproduce the complete boot sector; only the critical
|
|
parameters, i.e.: the number of sectors per track, number of sides,
|
|
number of tracks, root directory size and FAT size are read from the
|
|
disk and used.
|
|
|
|
- When formatting or copying floppy disks, a failed operation can now be
|
|
retried a selectable number of times before an error is reported. It may
|
|
be of help when copying or formatting old floppy disks. Also, it seems
|
|
that other utilities behave in a similar way when formatting or copying
|
|
floppies.
|
|
|
|
- An obscure noncritical bug related to floppy formatting that could in
|
|
some very unlikely cases lead to corrupt FATs on the floppy was fixed.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the problem of incorrectly truncated lines when displaying in the
|
|
viewer files containing TAB characters. The old algorithm for finding
|
|
maximum text (and window) width was only approximate and, besides, was
|
|
implemented with an error. The new procedure is accurate but may be
|
|
marginally slower on large files; some speed optimizations made to
|
|
reduce the impact of this.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the bug that caused the height of any viewer window to increase by
|
|
one line each time a menu item was activated in that window (and the
|
|
same happened in some other operations).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a noncritical bug related to window redraw after cancelling a
|
|
font selection.
|
|
|
|
- A number of size optimizations made by using convenient pointers instead
|
|
of referring to array members by indexes; program size is about 230 bytes
|
|
smaller than in the previous release.
|
|
|
|
- Some changes made in the resource file. See RESOURCE.TXT.
|
|
|
|
- Program is now compiled with slightly newer version of PureC 1.1
|
|
(March 1993 vs. January 1993).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.90 30-04-2007
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- Some changes made in the resource file. See RESOURCE.TXT.
|
|
|
|
- Capability added to set font effects (bold, light italic, underlined...) in
|
|
the font selector. This capability is disabled for directory windows because
|
|
it would interfere with hard-coded use of effects to distinguish certain item
|
|
types. Unfortunately it seems that the majority of clients using the font
|
|
selector through the FONT protocol ignore the 'effects' data (in fact,
|
|
Kandinsky drawing application is the only one I found that -does- use all
|
|
this data). Also, it looks as if the 'shadowed' and 'inverse' effects can
|
|
not in fact be displayed by the (N)VDI ?
|
|
|
|
- Full VDI range of colours (up to 256 ?) and fill patterns/hatches is now
|
|
available for desktop and window backgrounds. In previous versions the
|
|
colours were limited to the first 16 and patterns to the first 8 among
|
|
available ones, because of the limited number of bits for that data in AES
|
|
object specification.
|
|
|
|
- In order to use the background desktop picture feature of MyAES, desktop
|
|
background colour must now be set to white, the configuration saved, and
|
|
TeraDesk restarted (if desktop is later set to colour other than white,
|
|
MyAES background picture will be overdrawn).
|
|
|
|
- Files for which 'execute' access rights are detected on an adequate type
|
|
of filesystem, and which have names without extensions (i.e. names do not
|
|
contain periods) are assumed to be executable (of the .TTP type), even if
|
|
their names do not have matches in the list of program types. This
|
|
capability is not available in single-TOS. Users should beware that
|
|
desktop icons representing such files may lose the information that their
|
|
targets are executable if the partitions on which the target files reside
|
|
are not available when Set program types... or Set desk icons... dialogs
|
|
are manipulated.
|
|
|
|
- Added the capability to specify exclusion (i.e. negated) namemasks by
|
|
prepending '~' to masks. Directory items matching the remainder of the mask
|
|
(i.e. after the initial '~') will not be displayed.
|
|
|
|
- Permitted the use of enhanced wildcards '!' and [...] in single-TOS, beside
|
|
the standard '*' and '?', but within the constraint that the mask string must
|
|
obey the 8+3 name structure of single-TOS.
|
|
|
|
- More rigorous validation of paths that are typed into forms in single-TOS;
|
|
only characters legal in paths are now allowed.
|
|
|
|
- Improved functionality of the pattern-matching routine so that more complex
|
|
name masks can be specified, regarding the use !... and [...] wildcards.
|
|
Fixed the problem of string overrun that could happen in earlier versions if
|
|
name masks were not properly entered (e.g. a '[' without a ']'). Added some
|
|
information into the hypertext manual regarding the use and limitations of
|
|
recognized wildcards.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the inconvenience of background of sample text in the Font selector
|
|
not matching the one selected for windows background until the Window options
|
|
dialog was closed with an OK.
|
|
|
|
- Code for handling the 'arrow' buttons in dialogs largely reworked. The
|
|
old problem of TeraDesk sometimes freezing in Atari AES4.1 while
|
|
manipulating arrowed buttons (different handling of evnt_timer() than in
|
|
other AESes?) seems to have been cured. Among other effects, arrowed
|
|
buttons in the font size and font colour selectors are now properly drawn
|
|
when in the selected state.
|
|
|
|
- A couple of insignificant bugs was fixed.
|
|
|
|
- The order of a number of variables in some data structures and routines
|
|
rearranged for better word alignment and other size optimizations made
|
|
so that, in spite of the added features, program has shrunk to a size
|
|
smaller than in the previous three releases.
|
|
|
|
- Corrections and updates were made in the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Version 3.87 2-01-2007
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
- Improved the application of Window menu functions to AV-protocol clients
|
|
(in previous versions some of them worked well only with accessory-type
|
|
clients). Also fixed a minor problem in window cycling.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the generation and sending of the VA_PATH_UPDATE AV-protocol
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in AV-protocol implementation: incorrect answer to AV_WHAT_IZIT
|
|
was given if an inquiry was made about directory window background. This
|
|
could stop AV_DRAG_ON_WINDOW from working.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the incorrect occupation of one accessory slot by TeraDesk when
|
|
used in Falcon TOS 4.0*.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the inconsistent summing of directory sizes in info lines of
|
|
directory windows.
|
|
|
|
- Slightly changed the logic of decisioning when to load colour icons.
|
|
Hopefully this will help in some cases in which earlier versions
|
|
wrongly decided that colour icons should not be used.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the display of user/group ids when they are outside the 0:9999
|
|
display limits (this happens e.g. when NTFS host filesystem is displayed
|
|
in Aranym on Windows).
|
|
|
|
- Source code cleaned up a bit, and a number of comments added.
|
|
|
|
- Some corrections and updates made in the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
- English text of the hypertext manual reviewed and improved by Derryck
|
|
Croker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.86 7-11-2006
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
- Fixed a bug in AV-protocol implementation that caused a corrupted message
|
|
to be returned to the client if the client had supplied a null, empty,
|
|
nonexistent or otherwise invalid path or name mask for AV_DRAG_ON WINDOW,
|
|
AV_COPYFILE, AV_DELFILE or AV_FILEINFO functions.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed several typing errors in the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
- Added version release dates to (this) history file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.85 26-10-2006
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- Added 'Iconified' and 'Full' functions to 'Window' menu, so that more
|
|
control can be exercised through the menu and, using shortcuts, through
|
|
the keyboard- which was the main reason for this change. These controls
|
|
apply to windows of AV-protocol clients as well, same as most other
|
|
functions in the 'Window' menu. 'Iconified' function is available only in
|
|
AES V4. Unfortunately, this menu function does not work with some older
|
|
V4 AESes, e.g. Atari AES4.1 and N.AES 1.1, but is OK with Magic 6, XaAES,
|
|
MyAES, Geneva 6...
|
|
|
|
- 'TeraDesk Info' dialog can now be closed by clicking on the closer gadget
|
|
when in windowed dialogs mode (it was the only dialog that could not be
|
|
closed this way).
|
|
|
|
- Changes were made in the resource file as part of the above changes.
|
|
Details are in RESOURCE.TXT.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that caused template strings from the resource file to appear
|
|
in the Info... dialog if information was asked about a nonresponding disk
|
|
(e.g. a floppy not inserted).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some old bug(s) that caused divisions by zero when opening directory
|
|
windows without any visible items, and could crash TeraDesk (at least
|
|
they did so in MagicPC).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some irregularities in 'Window' menu operations that showed when
|
|
there were AV-client windows open but the desktop was topped.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed several problems related to saving and loading iconified windows.
|
|
Because of this change, iconified windows saved in earlier versions of
|
|
TeraDesk will not reopen correctly now (they were corrupted anyway).
|
|
Users are advised to close them and update configuration file(s).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a redraw problem that sometimes showed in real-time resizing of
|
|
windows. However, in some V4 AESes this fix may result in double redraw of
|
|
resized windows, depending on the 'smart redraw' capability and setting.
|
|
This behaviour may be improved in future releases, if it poses a problem.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some inconsistencies when determining window size in relation to
|
|
window font or icon size. A consequence of this change is slightly changed
|
|
behaviour when setting windows to minimum or maximum (e.g. fulled) sizes.
|
|
A fulled window may not completely fill the screen because of certain
|
|
rounding of window size.
|
|
|
|
- The two above changes were made mostly in order to better cope with dumb
|
|
'smart redraw' capabilities of some AESes. Also, they are related to better
|
|
redraw of patterned window backgrounds (but it seems that an ideal solution
|
|
is not possible here).
|
|
|
|
- Improved regeneration of the desktop upon exiting from the video options
|
|
dialog with 'OK' (i.e. capability is improved to restore a screen corrupted
|
|
by some application).
|
|
|
|
- Replaced some of the header files with new versions prepared by H.Robbers,
|
|
in order to adjust TeraDesk for compilation with AHCC. Removed some
|
|
duplicate header inclusions in the C source files.
|
|
|
|
- Some more size optimisations made, particularily regarding the single-TOS
|
|
version of the program.
|
|
|
|
- Updated the hypertext manual to reflect new features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.84 22-07-2006
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- Fixed handling of AV-protocol clients in the Window menu of TeraDesk.
|
|
It was unintentionally broken in V3.83.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed unwanted responses that sometimes occured after some Magic-specific
|
|
keystrokes (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Clr).
|
|
|
|
- Made several small optimisations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.83 8-07-2006
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
- Code for handling compatibility with a bug in earlier versions of the
|
|
configuration file removed. As a result, if configuration files older
|
|
than V3.82 are loaded, visibility of directory fields has to be set again.
|
|
|
|
- As the number of translations of TeraDesk grew (so far, beside English
|
|
original, there are Russian, German, French and Greek) it was felt that
|
|
certain explanations regarding DESKTOP.RSC were needed. Therefore, a new
|
|
file named RESOURCE.TXT was created. It contains comments intended
|
|
to help people translating TeraDesk to other languages. It will be
|
|
available in the source code package.
|
|
|
|
- Some changes made in the resource file. See RESOURCE.TXT
|
|
|
|
- Changed behaviour of the Info... dialog when displaying data on disk
|
|
volumes (partitions). In earlier versions, retrieval of these data took
|
|
unpleasantly long time, especially on large partitions, because all files
|
|
and folders on the volume were counted. Now, only information on disk
|
|
size, used and free space is immediately displayed, and folder/file
|
|
count is displayed only after clicking the 'More' button.
|
|
|
|
- Text "Number of files and links" in the Info... dialog is now, more
|
|
correctly, "Number of files" in single-TOS.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the possibility of too long filenames appearing in some alerts.
|
|
|
|
- More informative file-selector titles now appear in fileselectors
|
|
invoked from some editable dialog fields.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed unwanted change of titles in iconified windows when changing
|
|
visibility of directory fields.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed possible buffer overrun with autolocator active in mint.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bad redraw problem that manifested when doing real-time window
|
|
moving/sizing in Magic-PC.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a redraw problem that manifesed when left/right scrolling a
|
|
directory window with selected items.
|
|
|
|
- Optimized the number of GEM calls, exchange of AES messages and some
|
|
waiting for timer events when resizing or moving windows. Response should
|
|
be quicker now.
|
|
|
|
- Certain simplifications and optimizations were made. Program size is now
|
|
less than it was in V3.80.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.82 30-05-2006
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- Corrected display of size, free and used space when showing information
|
|
on large disk partitions. Up to 1024 GB should be correctly displayed.
|
|
For partitions larger than 1 GB, size data is displayed in kilobytes,
|
|
not in bytes. It ought to be noted that there is still a 2GB limit on the
|
|
total size and 32767 on the count of files in an open directory or in a
|
|
list of selected items for a file operation (copying, deleting, etc.).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a redraw problem that existed during real-time resizing of directory
|
|
windows in XaAES.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that could crash TeraDesk when responding to AV_DRAG_ON_WINDOW
|
|
AV-protocol message.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an instance of using a deallocated memory block when launching
|
|
applications assigned to documenttypes. Application start parameters
|
|
could get corrupted.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an old bug (since V3.0!) that disabled assignment of the last icon
|
|
in the icons resource file (any assignment made was lost after saving and
|
|
loading the configuration file).
|
|
|
|
- Corrected the somewhat ilogical beaviour of the dialog that appears
|
|
when more than one application is assigned to a filetype. Now the first
|
|
application in the displayed list is preselected, so that the user does
|
|
not have to explicitely click on a list item to select it.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected response to Mint's arrogant tampering with filenames: when
|
|
reading directories, if Dpathconf(path,DP_CASE) inquiry returns
|
|
DP_NOSENSITIVE (i.e. value "1", meaning that filenames are not
|
|
case-sensitive and are converted to uppercase), names are now really
|
|
converted to uppercase. Names in partitions where case-sensitive names
|
|
are permitted are, of course, displayed in original case.
|
|
|
|
- Substantial changes in window-iconifying code in order to better adjust
|
|
it to recent developments in XaAES. Iconified windows are now moved to
|
|
positions and sizes determined by the AES, instead of remaining at
|
|
previous locations and hard-coded iconified sizes. Recommended size
|
|
of iconified window (when it can be set in the AES) is 80 x 64 pixels
|
|
or 88x72 pixels (divisible by 8 and depending on window border thickness
|
|
in a particular AES; this is about the minimum window size into which an
|
|
icon with a 12-characters label can nicely fit).
|
|
|
|
- Enabled 'light' display of icons for hidden files on the desktop. This
|
|
works nicely only in XaAES and MyAES- other AESes display 'disabled'
|
|
icons in a very ugly way - the complete object rectangle is shaded,
|
|
not only the icon mask. 'Light' display of icons for hidden files in
|
|
directory windows is possible (in any AES), at least for the time being,
|
|
only if window background is white, to allow for incapabilities of
|
|
most AESes (the user may decide not to put a hidden file on the desktop
|
|
if it looks ugly, but such a file may appear in a window out of his
|
|
control, therefore this safe approach).
|
|
|
|
- Slightly modified calculation of default window sizes and positions.
|
|
|
|
- Certain amount of source code cleanup and several size optimizations.
|
|
Program size actually reduced a little bit, in spite of added fixes.
|
|
|
|
- Added some currently inactive code that will be used in future development.
|
|
|
|
- Support for CFG2INF convertor of V2 configuration files completely dropped
|
|
as obsolete.
|
|
|
|
- A number of mistakes in the hypertext help corrected and some items
|
|
updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.81 17-03-2006
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- Added "https:" as a recognized name prefix for network objects.
|
|
|
|
- Optimized for size the routines for floppy formatting and error reporting;
|
|
somewhat improved description of BIOS/XBIOS errors that can be encountered
|
|
during formatting (and on other occasions).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in starting background applications (application started
|
|
twice in the multitasking version of TeraDesk).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that could corrupt Disk copy dialog if wildly wrong format
|
|
parameters were read from a floppy.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused double backslashes to appear in
|
|
file specifications passed to fileselectors.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected the somewhat ilogical behaviour of 'Save options' not saving
|
|
to TERADESK.INF but to last configuration file loaded.
|
|
|
|
- Made several improvements in detection of too long paths and names.
|
|
|
|
- Removed some inappropriate checks that, in the previous version, disabled
|
|
passing of multiple names through some AV-protocol commands.
|
|
|
|
- Improved recognition of quoted names when parsing commands entered in
|
|
Open... dialog or received through AV-protocol.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected display of file size in File rename dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected handling of links and icons of network objects when printing
|
|
files and directories.
|
|
|
|
- Provisions added for handling some absurdly long strings that can be
|
|
received through AV-protocol from applications accessing the internet.
|
|
|
|
- Made some corrections in DESKTOP.RSC (a note to translators):
|
|
.Corected duplicate hotkey assignments in dialog SPECAPP
|
|
.Changed texts in alerts AFMTERR and AERRACC
|
|
.Added strings TBADS, TXBERROR, TSEEKE and TUNKM (in that order)
|
|
|
|
- Rephrased and corrected some paragraphs in the hypertext help, and
|
|
removed some paragraphs related to obsolete items.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.80 (provisionally named V3.71 during development) 16-02-2006
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
- Improved handling of cases where one filetype is assigned to more than
|
|
one application. Earlier versions of TeraDesk just ignored multiple
|
|
assignments; now, a dialog is shown when a multiply-associated file(type)
|
|
is to be opened, permitting the user to select among the assigned
|
|
applications (editing of application parameters in the displayed list
|
|
is not possible).
|
|
|
|
- When a symbolic link is created (by selecting an object and activating
|
|
New... menu item), name of the referenced object is shown in the dialog
|
|
and can be edited, as well as the name of the link itself.
|
|
|
|
- Objects on a network, to be accessed via the http, ftp or mail protocols,
|
|
can be specified as referenced objects in symbolic links. Such a symbolic
|
|
link can not be directly created (though it could be made so, with a
|
|
network-access application supplying the necessary information through
|
|
AV_COPYFILE message); instead, a link to an existing file should be
|
|
created and then edited (see above) so as to point to the desired object.
|
|
Referenced objects should have names beginning with one of the following
|
|
prefixes: http:, ftp: or mailto:; 'Follow links' option is ignored for
|
|
such symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
- Objects on a network, as above, can be specified in desktop icons.
|
|
Icon type 'File/Folder' should be selected in the Set desk icons...
|
|
dialog and then 'Path' field edited to point to the desired object. This
|
|
option works in single-TOS as well. The feature exists in parallel with
|
|
the capability to create desktop icons for symbolic links pointing to
|
|
network objects, as above.
|
|
|
|
- Network objects, as above, can be assigned as 'document types' to
|
|
applications. Name masks like e.g. http:*, http://*, http://*.htm etc.
|
|
should be specified in Mint or Magic. Supported prefixes are currently
|
|
http, ftp and mailto (case insensitive). In single-TOS, because of
|
|
name limitations, these masks should be specified as e.g. HTTP*.*, etc.
|
|
|
|
- Network objects with names matching 'document types' specified as above
|
|
can be opened from the 'Open...' dialog; the appropriate application will
|
|
be started, or, if it is already running, a VA_START command will be sent
|
|
to it.
|
|
|
|
- When returning from a subfolder in a directory window, window sliders
|
|
are now set to previous positions in the parent directory. If the window
|
|
has been resized while in the subfolder, sliders are set so as to show
|
|
the subfolder item which has just been closed.
|
|
|
|
- Improved detection of filesystem capabilities regarding long filenames.
|
|
|
|
- Changed algorithm for wildcard matching so that some long names are better
|
|
matched, e.g. those containing multiple periods (dots).
|
|
|
|
- Space characters (<SP>) can be typed in the autoselector when long
|
|
filenames are available- this did not work in the previous version.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a problem of typing certain characters in dialog fields on German
|
|
keyboard, and also fixed some other related problems in dialogs.
|
|
|
|
- Enabled the use of ^0 to ^9 and <BS> as keyboard shortcuts. Also disabled
|
|
possibly dangerous wrong recognition of some key combinations (e.g. ^- was
|
|
recognized as ^<DEL>, ^<Left> as ^S, etc.).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which disabled manipulation of TeraDesk's nonmodal font
|
|
selector if any other dialog was opened (however, it is still not
|
|
possible to open more than one instance of font selector at a time).
|
|
|
|
- [Shift][Tab] can be used to move the cursor up/back in dialogs.
|
|
|
|
- Made some other adjustments to make TeraDesk partially compatible with
|
|
the new keyboard-navigation feature of XaAES, but only for the menu and
|
|
the editable fields (at least for the time being; this is more-less limited
|
|
to correctly setting the focus). Anyway, dialog buttons can be directly
|
|
activated in TeraDesk from the keyboard by Alt+letter combinations.
|
|
|
|
- A small improvement made in the shutdown procedure (unwanted messages are
|
|
ignored while a shutdown is in progress).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the problem of VA_START routine not finding already running
|
|
applications in Magic, if applications' names were specified in lowercase.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the problem of editable dialog fields for paths being shorter than
|
|
maximum permitted path length.
|
|
|
|
- Disabled entering of full paths through the fileselector activated from
|
|
editable text fields in cases where names only were expected, and v.v.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the problem of not being able to read extremely long directory
|
|
window paths that could be previously saved to the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed several cases of possible buffer overflows when manipulating
|
|
extremely long paths.
|
|
|
|
- Plugged a couple of memory leaks in the AV-protocol and application-
|
|
startup routines.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which could crash TeraDesk if palette loaded from the file
|
|
had more colours than the current palette.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a freeze that could sometimes occur if file operation on a single
|
|
item failed (dialog could not be closed).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which caused improper execution of some operations from the
|
|
'File' menu upon the file in the top text window.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed boring multiple interrogation attempts on ejected removable drives;
|
|
a bug related to this problem crashed TeraDesk in Magic.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected setting of default directory when starting a program in Magic
|
|
(some applications could not find their files).
|
|
|
|
- Corrected a very old (V2.* ?) but hitherto unnoticed bug which could crash
|
|
TeraDesk when unexpected AES messages (e.g. WM_ARROWED, when using a
|
|
wheeled mouse in XaAES) were received in windowed dialogs.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected display of object size in the name-conflict dialog when copying
|
|
folders.
|
|
|
|
- Corected the content in the dialog when name mask, program type or
|
|
icon type dialog is opened when a file/folder is selected.
|
|
|
|
- Made a number of optimisations and rearrangements in order to keep program
|
|
size down.
|
|
|
|
- Updated the hypertext manual; also added some previously missing
|
|
information about older items.
|
|
|
|
- A note to translators of the resource file: in order to make the
|
|
resource file of V3.70 compatible to the new version, the following
|
|
changes have to be made in DESKTOP.RSC/DESKTOP.RSD:
|
|
. 'Cancel' button in NEWDIR tree named NEWDIRC.
|
|
. 'Name:' string in NEWDIR tree copied to a new string positioned two
|
|
text lines lower; the text changed from 'Name:' to 'To:'; new text
|
|
named NEWDIRTO and hidden.
|
|
. 'Cancel' button in COPYINFO tree named 'COPYCAN'.
|
|
. Strings METOUCH, MEREADDR and MICNOPEN deleted.
|
|
. Alerts ANOCOPY, ANODRAGP and ANOPRINT deleted.
|
|
. New trees (strings) MUNKNOWN, MNETOB, MNOCOPY, MNOPRINT,
|
|
MNODRAGP, MNOOPEN and (alert) ACANTDO added.
|
|
. Wording of several texts slightly changed, which probably doesn't
|
|
matter much in a translation.
|
|
. ob_flags for some scrolled-text FTEXT objects changed (bits 14 and 15).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.70 3-12-2005
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
- In order to reduce program size, removed some code which handled
|
|
compatibility with earlier versions of configuration files. Oldest entirely
|
|
acceptable version of configuration file is now 3.60; some portions of
|
|
older configuration files may not be interpreted correctly by TeraDesk
|
|
(see also remarks for previous releases in the history file).
|
|
|
|
- Autoselector feature is available- a way was found to add it with
|
|
little cost in program size: directory items can be automatically
|
|
selected as their names are typed on the keyboard. As this may collide
|
|
with single-key keyboard shortcuts, the conflict is resolved in the
|
|
following way:
|
|
.If there are no single-key keyboard shortcuts defined, autoselector is
|
|
always active. It is reset by the [Insert] key and the last character
|
|
typed is deleted by the [Backspace] key.
|
|
.If single-key keyboard shortcuts (other than [Tab] or [Delete]) are
|
|
defined, autoselector must be toggled on/off by the [Insert] key, which
|
|
also temporarily deactivates/activates keyboard menu shortcuts.
|
|
.Autoselector is reset upon each change of the topped window, and also
|
|
upon any directory refresh.
|
|
.Items selected in the autoselector can be opened by pressing the [Return]
|
|
key (because the keyboard shortcut assigned to 'Open' may be temporarily
|
|
disabled by the autoselector; this is also a concession to compatibility
|
|
with other desktops).
|
|
|
|
This feature, being new in TeraDesk, probably still needs some refinement.
|
|
|
|
- Selected items can be deselected by the [Undo] key.
|
|
|
|
- File sizes and creation dates/times are shown in the name-conflict dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Improved manipulation with TeraDesk's configuration files:
|
|
.If TeraDesk itself is installed in TeraDesk as the application for
|
|
TERADESK.INF or similar files (e.g. T*.INF), then it can load a
|
|
configuration file being double-clicked upon in a directory window or
|
|
on the desktop. If DESKTOS.PRG is used, DESKTOP.PRG has still to be
|
|
installed as the application (not DESKTOS.PRG).
|
|
.If a TeraDesk's configuration file is selected in a directory window or
|
|
on the desktop, then, upon activating 'Load settings...' menu item,
|
|
TeraDesk immediately loads that file without opening the file selector.
|
|
.Improved restoring of correct state in case of attempting to load a
|
|
corrupted configuration file. If a good configuration file has been
|
|
previously loaded after TeraDesk has been started, settings are restored
|
|
from that file.
|
|
|
|
- Strings written to a configuration file (command lines for applications,
|
|
icon labels, etc.) can now contain the "@" character.
|
|
|
|
- External application can be specified for file comparing through
|
|
'Set special use'.
|
|
|
|
- A new option added to Window options dialog, enabling the user to select
|
|
whether open windows will be saved in the configuration file (some users,
|
|
including myself, prefer to always start with a clean desktop).
|
|
|
|
- Open and saved directory windows for which filename masks have not been
|
|
explicitely set now reload with the filemasks default for the current
|
|
operating system type (i.e. "*.*" in single-TOS or Geneva, "*" in
|
|
Mint/Magic). This makes it easier to use the same configuration files both
|
|
in single-TOS and multitasking environment. A mask for an open directory
|
|
window is reset to default as above if the editable field 'File type:' is
|
|
cleared in the Set Name Mask dialog and then 'OK' is clicked. This is now
|
|
more similar to the behaviour of the original TOS desktop.
|
|
Note: explicitely set "*.*" or "*" mask is not treated as a default one.
|
|
|
|
- Single-TOS version of TeraDesk now always registers with AES as "DESKTOP";
|
|
there is no need anymore to rename DESKTOS.PRG to DESKTOP.PRG in order for
|
|
the AV-protocol to work with single-TOS version of TeraDesk (assuming the
|
|
environment variable AVSERVER=DESKTOP is defined). This may simplify
|
|
making multiple boot configurations.
|
|
|
|
- Rearranged and updated the Help dialog.
|
|
|
|
- 'Follow links' checkbox button moved from Copy and Print options to more
|
|
logical places in the Copy confirmation dialog and Set desktop icon
|
|
dialog, where the state of this option can be more easily monitored.
|
|
'Follow links' option can be made active only for a single (batch)
|
|
operation.
|
|
|
|
- 'Tab size' editable field moved from 'Desk preferences' dialog to a more
|
|
logical place in Window options dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Improved handling of filenames and other parameters containing spaces and
|
|
quote characters:
|
|
. Names containing quotes can be handled now in the AV- and ARGV-protocols,
|
|
and command lines for installed applications.
|
|
. IUtems can be quoted by either single or double quotes.
|
|
. Improved parsing of mixed single- and double-quotes in command lines.
|
|
. Improved working of the ARGV protocol in Magic.
|
|
. Corrected unwanted truncation of command line parameters after unused
|
|
filename placeholders (%f, %n, %p) in command lines.
|
|
|
|
- Improved detection of filesystem capabilities (long names, symbolic links,
|
|
attributes).
|
|
|
|
- Changed display of window title for iconified windows; item name/path
|
|
is now shown in icon label (longer string available than in window
|
|
title).
|
|
|
|
- Corrected display of partition size and free space for partitions larger
|
|
than 2GB (32-bit long integer limit) in Show info... However, TeraDesk
|
|
will still incorrectly display total size of files in folders or during
|
|
file operations if size exceeds 2GB, and also other unpredictable
|
|
behaviour may occur in such cases. This is probably relevant only in a
|
|
multitasking environment and non-TOS/FAT filesystems.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected counting of files and folders regarding global mask setttings
|
|
(i.e. hidden and system items) for Show info... and file operations.
|
|
Now such items are always counted even if they are not visible, because
|
|
file operations (copy, delete...) are executed upon them anyway. It
|
|
should be noted that the info line in a directory window displays the
|
|
count of visible items only, which is affected by the name mask as well.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected inconsistent following of symbolic links when doing file
|
|
copy/delete/touch operations. Now, only links directly selected in a
|
|
directory window or on the desktop are followed when 'Follow links'
|
|
option is selected. Any links in the subdirectories of a selected item
|
|
are always worked upon as links.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed inconsistent deselection in directory windows after copy operations;
|
|
items were sometimes deselected and sometimes were not. As the erroneous
|
|
behaviour (keeping items selected) in fact turned out to be quite useful,
|
|
a new option was added to 'Copy and Print....' dialog: 'Keep selection'.
|
|
If it is ON, selected items will remain selected after all copy/move
|
|
or drag-to-desktop operations. This is handy for multiple actions upon
|
|
same items.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which corrupted drag&drop and some VA messages if more than
|
|
one name was passed.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed several errors which, together, sometimes disabled 'touching' files
|
|
in subdirectories and prevented resetting of 'archived' attribute on files
|
|
in FAT partitions.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which sometimes disabled unprotecting of readonly files and
|
|
generally caused inappropriate 'Access denied' alerts, e.g. when renaming
|
|
directories, etc.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed needless interrogation of drive A: in some file operations
|
|
(was manifested in Mint and Magic only).
|
|
|
|
- Reenabled the use of DEL character as a keyboad shortcut; this has been
|
|
accidenatlly lost since V3.50 so that only ^DEL could be recognized.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected an instance of 'This application is already running' alert
|
|
appearing when an object is dragged onto an icon of an already running
|
|
application (the alert should not have appeared in that case). In order
|
|
to increase flexibility, this behaviour is modifiable by pressing the
|
|
[Alternate] key.
|
|
|
|
- Better handling of failures to open dialogs (when there is insufficent
|
|
memory or too many windows, etc.).
|
|
|
|
- Corrected a mistake in a validation string for 8+3 filenames in DESKTOP.RSC
|
|
|
|
- Several optimizations and simplifications made in the code.
|
|
|
|
- Some corrections, updates and additional links made in the hypertext
|
|
manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.62 27-08-2005
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- Added one hex digit to display of line offset in text windows in
|
|
hexadecimal mode. Offset could not be displayed properly for files
|
|
larger than 16MB. Now this limit has been increased to 256MB which should
|
|
probably be enough for any practical purpose.
|
|
|
|
- Some small code optimizations related to display in text windows.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which disabled display of differing file contents in Compare...
|
|
|
|
- Corrected default file specification in fileselector invoked from
|
|
scrolled text fields for the sake of some pedantic fileselectors.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected and somewhat optimized enabling/disabling of some menu items.
|
|
|
|
- Corrections made and some paragraphs rephrased in the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.61 17-08-2005
|
|
------------------------
|
|
- Some noncritical configuration-file-compatibility code removed; if
|
|
configuration files OLDER than V3.60 are loaded, warnings may appear
|
|
(to be ignored).
|
|
|
|
- When programtype name masks are added or removed, any matching window
|
|
icons now change group (Programs vs. Files) automatically, in style with
|
|
behaviour of desktop icons which automatically change their item types.
|
|
|
|
- Moved alternate validation and template strings for some editable dialog
|
|
fields (for filenames, when switching from LFN to 8+3) from the code to
|
|
the resource file, so they would be easier to manipulate. This may be
|
|
needed if the user wishes to relax validation of filenames in single-TOS;
|
|
with the validation string currently being set to FFFFFFFFFFF, some
|
|
filenames which are not exactly legal, like "ST-GUIDE", can not be entered
|
|
in the dialogs; to relax validation, TFNVALID string in DESKTOP.RSC
|
|
should be changed to e.g. XXXXXXXXXXX or XXXXXXXXFFF
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which caused font colour to change when font size was
|
|
increased in the font-selector dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which corrupted the screen because of improperly closed
|
|
icon selector dialog when locating (re)moved objects associated with
|
|
desktop icons.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some bugs related to Info... and Search... functions:
|
|
. Corrected behaviour of Search... and Info... after searching in a file
|
|
displayed in a topped text window.
|
|
. Fixed a bug which could crash the Single-TOS version of TeraDesk in
|
|
the Info... dialog.
|
|
. Corrected behaviour when attempting to read header flags from an
|
|
invalid program file.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which disabled setting of "solid colour" (other than white)
|
|
window background.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a case of using a deallocated memory block when dragging objects
|
|
from a directory window to the desktop; this error caused object path+name
|
|
to be lost sometimes, and could crash TeraDesk. Users should beware that
|
|
ANY ICONS CREATED IN V3.60 by dragging objects from directory windows
|
|
to the desktop can have corrupt object path information.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed incorrect behaviour and possible crash after attempting to read
|
|
files (to display, search or compare) too big for available memory.
|
|
|
|
- Partially corrected behaviour when attempting to open a dialog with
|
|
insufficient memory available (more to do for the next release).
|
|
|
|
- Corrected unnecessary reset of 'fulled' state after some updates of
|
|
directory windows.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected some mistakes in the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.60 2-08-2005
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- In order to accomodate other changes in this release, there are some
|
|
modifications in the structure of the configuration file. As a consequence:
|
|
. Some compatibility-handling code exists in this release, enlarging
|
|
program size slightly; this code will be removed in the next release.
|
|
. If configuration files created with TeraDesk OLDER than V3.50 are
|
|
used, window fonts colours should be manually set in Window options...
|
|
otherwise, nothing will be seen in windows if background is white.
|
|
. Users should load and then save each configuration file.
|
|
|
|
- Better handling of user access rights and file attributes:
|
|
. Access rights and user/group IDs can be set in the 'Info...' dialog.
|
|
. When copying executable files from FAT to non-FAT partitions, execute
|
|
rights are set now.
|
|
. Better decision making on when to show access rights and when to show
|
|
TOS/DOS attributes in a directory window.
|
|
. User and group IDs can be shown in directory windows (selectable menu
|
|
option, visible only in Mint or Magic).
|
|
. Note: manipulations of access rights or FAT file attributes are mutually
|
|
exclusive, depending on the filesystem in which the object resides
|
|
(AFAIK no Atari-relevant file system uses both simultaneously?).
|
|
|
|
- Hypertext help file will be opened (upon [Shift][Help]) by any application
|
|
installed for the *.HYP filetype. entry for the help ogram in the
|
|
earlier version(s) of configuration files will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
- More than one selected item at a time can be opened by 'Open...' menu item.
|
|
Files and folders are each opened in a new window. In single-TOS operation,
|
|
opening of multiple items terminates if a program is started (because all
|
|
windows are closed and reopened). In a multitasking environment, there
|
|
is a delay of 2 seconds between starting of selected programs (so that
|
|
each program is given some time to configure, shrink its memory, etc.).
|
|
|
|
- New menu item 'Close all' added in 'Window' menu. It closes all TeraDesk's
|
|
windows, including those of signed-on AV-protocol clients.
|
|
|
|
- Improved functionality of the 'Search...' function:
|
|
. It also works on a list of selected files or folders as well now,
|
|
not only a single folder or a drive.
|
|
. It works in a file showed in the topped text window.
|
|
|
|
- Improved functionality of the 'Set desk icons' dialog:
|
|
. More than one desk icon at a time can be installed by dragging objects
|
|
from a directory window to desktop.
|
|
. Names of (file or folder) items to which the icons are assigned are
|
|
displayed and editable.
|
|
. Fourth desktop icon type ('File/Folder') radiobutton added; direct
|
|
specification of object name in the dialog is possible.
|
|
. Objects selected in a directory window can be set to the desktop
|
|
through 'Set desk icons' menu action.
|
|
. Desktop icons can be removed through the dialog; 'Remove icons'
|
|
menu item item deleted as unnecessary.
|
|
. Desktop icons can be removed by dragging them to the trashcan.
|
|
An alert appears asking whether to remove the icons or to delete
|
|
selected objects.
|
|
. If label for a disk icon is not specified by the user when installing
|
|
the icon, TeraDesk reads and uses the disk volume label.
|
|
|
|
- New window icons group added; beside 'Files' and 'Folders' there is
|
|
now 'Programs'. This should speed-up opening of directory windows in icon
|
|
mode in configurations with many window icons assigned, because smaller
|
|
lists will have to be searched for each directory item. Compatibility
|
|
code exists which moves appropriate icons from the 'Files' group into
|
|
the new group when old configuration files are loaded.
|
|
|
|
- Third default-directory option added to 'Program type' dialog: beside the
|
|
top window and the program directory, the path of the first parameter
|
|
of the command line can be set as the default directory. Some intelligence
|
|
is used trying to detect a path in a command line which may contain other
|
|
strings as well. Program type dialog somewhat rearranged.
|
|
|
|
- Appropriate dialog titles are shown when showing 'Info...' about some items
|
|
(from the directories on the U:\ volume) which are not standard files or
|
|
folders. Maybe should be further enhanced to display e.g. device number,
|
|
etc?
|
|
|
|
- Program header flags are displayed in the 'Info...' dialog for executable
|
|
files. Name of the associated application is displayed for other files,
|
|
if such an application is defined.
|
|
|
|
- When copying large files (larger than copy buffer size), number of
|
|
remaining bytes is updated in the copy-info dialog after each buffer
|
|
copied. Loss in speed is negligible.
|
|
|
|
- Items with names beginning with a '.' are treated as invisible in Mint,
|
|
as per Unix convention.
|
|
|
|
- Directory window icons of invisible files are displayed faded. Currently
|
|
this`works only if window background colour is white- the 'disabled' flag
|
|
is used to display them, and for a disabled object the complete object
|
|
rectangle is disabled by all AESes, which looks very ugly with a window
|
|
background pattern. The inconvenience is similar to one appearing for
|
|
disabled checkboxes and radiobuttons: AESes shade the complete object
|
|
rectangle, instead of applying some inteligence to shade only what is
|
|
needed. There is a chance that this will be improved at least in XaAES
|
|
and MyAES.
|
|
|
|
- Icons of links are marked with a "check" mark. This is experimental and
|
|
may yet be removed if it does not prove practical (or nice).
|
|
|
|
- Executable files are detected by their names/types upon opening of
|
|
directories. However, this does slow down opening of directory windows
|
|
somewhat. May yet be marked for optional compilation only. Introduction
|
|
of this feature caused a small change in the structure of the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
|
|
- With directory windows in text mode, executable files are shown with '-'
|
|
character preceding the name. This feature depends on the above change.
|
|
|
|
- Reworked wildcard matching to increase speed, so that slowdown caused
|
|
by the previous changes is almost completely compensated for, especially
|
|
so in single-TOS.
|
|
|
|
- When deleting, touching, moving or overwriting files, protection is checked
|
|
(when possible) before attempting the operation, instead of relying on the
|
|
return statuses of the GEMDOS/Mint functions (they seem to be of little
|
|
relevance when working as a superuser).
|
|
|
|
- Added a capability to influence the implementation of the ARGV protocol;
|
|
if environment variable TERAENV contains flag 'A', it will force
|
|
TeraDesk to:
|
|
. Always use ARGV on all program files which are declared to support it,
|
|
regardless of the length of the command line;
|
|
. Always build a local environment with ARGV appended and pass it
|
|
to the program being started, bypassing the environment concatenation
|
|
mechanism in shel_write().
|
|
This may help solve some problems originating in differences (bugs?)
|
|
of ARGV implementation in various AESes.
|
|
|
|
- A number of program size optimizations, in order to compensate for the
|
|
increase in size caused by the new features. Still, the new version is
|
|
about 3 KB larger than the previous one :( Hopefully, the improvements
|
|
are worth it.
|
|
|
|
- Some cleanup of the source code; a lot of comments added to the soruce.
|
|
|
|
- Disk volume labels are read using the more general (?) Dreadlabel() when
|
|
possible, instead of using Fsfirst().
|
|
|
|
- Capability to edit disk volume labels in the Info... dialog was created,
|
|
but only for Magic or Mint. Unfortunately, it seems that Dreadlabel() and
|
|
Dwritelabel() behave too differently in Mint vs. Magic regarding dots and
|
|
blanks in the label, so volume labels in the 8+3 form (e.g. as possible on
|
|
floppies) may unwantedly get changed in Mint. Therefore, complete feature
|
|
was disabled, at least for the time being.
|
|
|
|
- File copy routine simplified a bit.
|
|
|
|
- Some simplifications in DESKTOP.RSC.
|
|
|
|
- Files SPRINFT.C and STRDUP.C with substitutes of some library functions
|
|
concatenated into a single file STRINGF.C to be used from now on;
|
|
SPRINTF.H renamed to STRINGF.H
|
|
|
|
- Limited length (cramped) filenames displayed on icon labels in directory
|
|
windows in icon mode, so that icon labels of long filenames do not
|
|
overlap anymore.
|
|
|
|
- Better column alignment of texts beside the 'checkbox' buttons (when drawn
|
|
by TeraDesk, not by an AES).
|
|
|
|
- When printing raw data, CR LF no more appended at the end of the file.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected positioning of the icon in the icon-selector in low resolutions
|
|
(it overflowed the lower edge of the box).
|
|
|
|
- Corrected display of program name in dialogs related to installing
|
|
applications, in case when name is entered manually.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected the routine for creating cramped names; it produced strings
|
|
which were one character too short.
|
|
|
|
- Icon in the icon-selector dialog is displayed on a background of appropriate
|
|
(desktop or window) colour and pattern. Icons can also be previewed in the
|
|
selector in the selected state (when clicked upon).
|
|
|
|
- Sample text in the font selector can be previewed in the selected state
|
|
t too, when clicked upon.
|
|
|
|
- Improved (hopefully) reaction to an AP_TERM message received after
|
|
TeraDesk initiates a shutdown.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug (probably introduced in V3.40) which caused creation of
|
|
symbolic links through 'New...' menu item to fail with 'Not enough memory'
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed inappropriate sending of 'close window' messages. A routine which
|
|
sends WM_CLOSED was overlooked in a routine which was used for other
|
|
purposes. Hopefully this fixes a problem when starting an editor in aMail.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed unwanted topping of TeraDesk windows after closing the systemwide
|
|
fileselector dialog, or the Info... dialog when requested through the
|
|
AV protocol. Not ideal, but better than it was...
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some errors which affected manipulation of folders in Info...
|
|
(errors were visible only in Mint).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some errors in file-deleting: TeraDesk attempted to follow a link
|
|
after it had been deleted. Routines simplified for single-TOS version.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed several instances of using memory blocks after they had been
|
|
deallocated.
|
|
|
|
- Optimized selection of default icons; fixed a possible reference to a
|
|
NULL pointer to icon name.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed (hopefully) a possible instance of buffer overflow when starting
|
|
programs in single-TOS.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which could cause TeraDesk to crash while reopening windows
|
|
after running a program in Single-TOS (window pointer for deselecting
|
|
items existed but sometimes was no longer valid, as windows were reopened).
|
|
It is not clear when was this bug created, possibly long ago...
|
|
|
|
- Windows of AV-protocol clients are no more closed when saving or loading
|
|
desktop configuration. It seems that there is in fact no need to do it.
|
|
|
|
- Corrections and updates in the hypertext help/manual file, in order
|
|
to reflect the latest changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.50 20-02-2005
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- New basic sets of monochrome and colour icons. Hopefully these contain
|
|
more useful icons than earlier did. Btw. some of the icon names from the
|
|
old sets do not exist in the new ones.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the constraint (introduced in V3.0) of having to use a monochrome
|
|
icon file whenever in monochrome video mode, even when colour icon file
|
|
would do. Why not have animated monochrome icons when possible?
|
|
|
|
- Some tidying-up of the configuration file structure. Certain bitflag items
|
|
moved from "copy options" data to other, more logical, places. As a result
|
|
of this, certain options set in configuration files prior to V3.50 will be
|
|
ignored:
|
|
|
|
. State of "Save colours" (OFF will be assumed)
|
|
. State of "Dialog options" ("centered" will be assumed)
|
|
. State of "Wait for key after TOS programs" (OFF will be assumed)
|
|
. State of "Use handle 2 for stderr" (OFF will be assumed)
|
|
|
|
These options should be set as desired and the configuration file(s)
|
|
saved anew. It is assumed that these differences are not significant
|
|
enough to justify additional compatibility-handling code.
|
|
|
|
- Font colour can now be set in TeraDesk's font selector.
|
|
|
|
- If no selection is made, 'Search' is active in the top directory window.
|
|
|
|
- Added settable option to skip subfolders when searching for files.
|
|
|
|
- If a desktop disk icon is set without a drive letter, then icons for
|
|
any missing disk volumes are set on the desktop, which eliminates
|
|
the tedious one-by-one setting of disk icons.
|
|
|
|
- Added setting of basic Falcon video modes in Video options. For the time
|
|
being it works only with some AES 4 versions, but not :( with Falcon
|
|
TOS 4.04. It works Atari AES 4.1 (with or without Mint), Geneva and
|
|
probably Magic (not tested yet), but not with current versions of XaAES
|
|
or MyAES. (Generally, it should work in all AESes which can handle
|
|
shel_write(5,...) )
|
|
|
|
- Added "background" option in the application-type dialog. If selected,
|
|
a TOS (non-GEM) application will be started as "background" in Mint- it
|
|
will be basically just Pexec()-ed (same as starting it while [Control] is
|
|
pressed). Works in single-TOS too, where found to be convenient for some
|
|
simple utilities which do not write anything on the screen and there is
|
|
no need to close the windows, clear the screen and display the program
|
|
title bar (e.g. a sound-playing utility such as WAVEST).
|
|
|
|
- Improved handling of the "BORDERED" object flag for self-drawn in-dialog
|
|
objects; actual border size is determined, as used by any particular
|
|
AES, resulting in better looking dialogs in any AES which does not (yet?)
|
|
support borders and/or particular object types in the standard way
|
|
(i.e. MyAES). Visible mostly in the appearance of the dragbox "ear" on
|
|
a dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Improved sizing of buttons with underlined keyboard-shortcut characters
|
|
so that underlines are now seen in MyAES/monochrome.
|
|
|
|
- Keyboard shortcuts (underlined) in dialogs, when TeraDesk draws them
|
|
(i.e. always except in Magic, XaAES or N.AES), are shown in different
|
|
colour (red) when possible.
|
|
|
|
- Dialog titles, when TeraDesk draws them (i.e. always except in Magic,
|
|
XaAES or N.AES) are drawn in colour (dark blue) when possible. Sizing
|
|
of the title object slightly modified for better alignment.
|
|
|
|
- Some small optimizations in event-handling routines.
|
|
|
|
- Newest version of AHCM memory-allocation routines used.
|
|
|
|
- Somewhat relaxed validation for window icon name mask in single-TOS, so
|
|
that an icon can be assigned to ".." (parent folder).
|
|
|
|
- Links pointing to items with paths containing slashes ("/") are now
|
|
interpreted as if they contain backslashes ("\"). This hopefully fixes
|
|
the problem of not finding link targets on minix or ext2 partitions.
|
|
|
|
- Some more work started on better handling of access rights; nothing
|
|
visible to the user, yet.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected action taken upon WM_ONTOP message (i.e. there should be no
|
|
window action taken, just the change of top window noted).
|
|
|
|
- Corrected dialog and window redraws when showing copy-info and
|
|
name-conflict dialogs.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which restricted the use of FONT protocol only to signed-on
|
|
AV-protocol clients.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a possible instance of attempting to free a non-allocated memory
|
|
block while doing VA_DRAGACCWIND.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed several instances of using data from memory blocks after they
|
|
had been deallocated.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in implementation of AV-protocol which could lead to corrupted
|
|
replies being sent to AV-clients (data for two replies overlapped).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which disabled 'Skip' action in a response to Skip/Abort
|
|
alert during file operations such as copying or deleting.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in string conversion to uppercase which could have affected
|
|
wildcard-matching with patterns containing digits.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which disabled recognition of other-than-ST video hardware.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug, unfortunately introduced in V3.42, in rubberbox redraw when
|
|
directory window was scrolled.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the video-setting code; on a Falcon some ST-specific
|
|
code was executed.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which disabled loading of colour palette. Also improved
|
|
tolerance to loading palette sizes other than the current palette-
|
|
palette file will not be rejected anymore but only colours in valid
|
|
range will load.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in dialog-handling routines which could cause object index
|
|
in a dialog to exceed tree extents. This was visible in 'Set mask'
|
|
dialog when cursor keys were used.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in fulling a text window for large files (i.e. with more
|
|
than about 2000 lines)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some noncritical errors in the resource file.
|
|
|
|
- Some corrections made in the hyopertext manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.43 (never published, except for testing)
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Some small changes which soon evolved enough to be considered as V3.50;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.42 27-11-2004
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Simplified calculation of default window sizes and positions.
|
|
|
|
- Improved speed (and code size) of wildcard-matching.
|
|
|
|
- Some other code size optimizations where speed is not critical.
|
|
Program size reduced even more.
|
|
|
|
- Enabled opening of the fileselector upon a double click on a
|
|
scrolled editable text field, as intended a long time ago.
|
|
(previous use of [INSERT] key for this purpose is kept as well).
|
|
|
|
- Plugged a memory leak which could sometimes happen when starting
|
|
installed applications.
|
|
|
|
- Improved checking of dates entered in file-info dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Improved redraw in the 'Help' dialog
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.41 7-11-2004
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- Simplification of routines for loading and saving configuration files.
|
|
Also, eliminated saving of empty data structures, which will sometimes
|
|
result in somewhat smaller configuration files. Slightly better
|
|
tolerance to faulty configuration files.
|
|
|
|
- Simplification of routines for floppy formatting. An insignificant bug
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
- Some more code optimization and cleanup. Program size reduced by almost
|
|
a kilobyte, now actually smaller than V3.32!
|
|
|
|
- Some corrections and additions in the hypertext manual.
|
|
|
|
- An alternative help application can be manually specified in the
|
|
configuration file (defaults to ST-Guide). Any application used
|
|
must know of VA_START and understand its syntax as used by ST-Guide
|
|
(this was actaully added in V3.40 but was not properly documented).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed incorrect handling (cramping) of the names of selected files
|
|
when using 'Compare...' more than once.
|
|
|
|
- Improved a somewhat ilogical behaviour of the 'Search...' function
|
|
when size range or search text are specified. In such cases only
|
|
files will be name-matched now, not folders.
|
|
|
|
- 'Select all' in directory windows does not needlessly select the parent
|
|
directories anymore.
|
|
|
|
- Better handling of missing icons, including the required ones. Missing
|
|
icons turned out to be a realistic situation if icon resource file(s)
|
|
were changed. Previous version of TeraDesk created ugly empty rectangles
|
|
in windows then. Now TeraDesk attempts to use one of the default icons,
|
|
according to item type, and if that does not succeed either, uses the
|
|
first icon in the icons resource file. Also, an alert is displayed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.40 10-10-2004
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Some size and speed optimizations.
|
|
|
|
- Option to automatically save desktop on exit (in Desk preferences).
|
|
|
|
- Reduction of sizes of confirmation dialogs for file deletion and printing
|
|
(some empty space removed).
|
|
|
|
- Improvement of the 'Show/Edit/Cancel' dialog:
|
|
. It is a dialog now (again), not an alert;
|
|
. Added "Run" option (treat the file as executable);
|
|
. Added "With" option (select an application to open the file with);
|
|
|
|
- Improvement of the 'Print...' function; printing can be redirected
|
|
to a file. Also, three printing modes now exist, selectable from the
|
|
confirm-print dialog:
|
|
. Text mode (lines wrapped; cr/lf inserted when appropriate);
|
|
. Hex dump (hex-codes + ascii, 16 bytes shown per printer line);
|
|
. Raw data (file sent to printer as it is);
|
|
|
|
- Improvement of 'Compare...': there is a dialog now to enter parameters;
|
|
width of resync window can be specified.
|
|
|
|
- 'Reverse sort' option for directory windows added.
|
|
|
|
- Removed 'Show as text' menu item as redundant, in order to reduce size
|
|
(if added back to desktop.rsc, TeraDesk can still be compiled to use it);
|
|
'Show as icons' can be checked/unchecked. If a keyboard shortcut was
|
|
defined for 'Show as text', an alert regarding 'shtx' record will
|
|
be generated. Should be ignored and desktop saved anew (didn't want
|
|
to bother with keeping compatibility for a single item).
|
|
|
|
- Switchable auto-arrangement of objects in directory windows
|
|
(i.e. fit current window width as well as possible).
|
|
|
|
- Multicolumn display in directory windows in text mode if auto-arrange
|
|
is set, whenever a window is wide enough.
|
|
|
|
- Improved action of 'Fuller' in directory windows:
|
|
. Vertical size adjustment as well as horizontal. Works for text windows
|
|
too. Any action which changes the dimensions of window contents now
|
|
resets the 'fulled' state (without changing window size).
|
|
. Two 'fulled' modes: 1) window is expanded only as much as needed to
|
|
display contents; 2) if any [Shift] key is pressed while clicking on
|
|
the fuller gadget, the window is expanded to all of desktop.
|
|
|
|
- Improved calculation of slider positions in icon display mode.
|
|
|
|
- Names of hiden files displayed in light (gray) type.
|
|
|
|
- Update of text window content with [Escape] (re-read file).
|
|
|
|
- Dragging a single file to a text window reads the file into the window.
|
|
(turned out to be quite convenient and faster than opening new windows).
|
|
|
|
- Search can be aborted by pressing [Escape].
|
|
|
|
- 'Search finished' information issued.
|
|
|
|
- Improved detection of '3D' AESes.
|
|
|
|
- Introduced environment variable TERAENV (not obligatory) for setting
|
|
some configuration details which were not convenient to be set through
|
|
the configuration file (e.g. had to be set -before- reading that file).
|
|
Currently only "TERAENV=D" is understood: force TeraDesk to always draw
|
|
all extended-type objects by itself, even if an AES supports them.
|
|
|
|
- Some improvements in handling of the 'Info...' dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Small improvement in handling of video mode(s).
|
|
|
|
- A redesign of desktop/window pattern and colour selector.
|
|
|
|
- Warning issued before change of video resolution (reset).
|
|
|
|
- An alert is displayed if an application fails to start (multitasking).
|
|
Does not work in all AESes.
|
|
|
|
- Additional objects added to video-options dialog, as an anticipation
|
|
for some changes planned for a future release. Currently set to invisible.
|
|
|
|
- Optimization of redraws in some dialogs (and after closing them).
|
|
|
|
- An alert is displayed when appropriate, asking whether to
|
|
start another instance of a running application.
|
|
|
|
- 'Window bottomed' message is now understood and acted upon.
|
|
|
|
- Checks are made whether registered AV-protocol clients are still alive.
|
|
This is done before each program start.
|
|
|
|
- Multiple registration of some AV-protocol clients avoided now.
|
|
|
|
- Links to folders are correctly sorted among folders now.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug of using a noninitialized variable in setting program types
|
|
(i.e. an uncontrolled value could appear).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in casting a windows-related structure.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some minor bugs in applying background patterns.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug related to AV-protocol and text windows.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which could cause the AV-protocol to crash TeraDesk in
|
|
the unlikely case of Mint being run with memory protection over a
|
|
TOS version lower than 2.06.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some wrongly set object flags in DESKTOP.RSC
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which could freeze TeraDesk in a windowed dialog when
|
|
texts were translated to other languages (e.g. Russian).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in cancelling the loading of configuration files
|
|
(i.e. it could not be cancelled).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which caused the entire configuration file to be rejected
|
|
upon loading if a path to a saved window did not exist anymore.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in searching when file size range was specified.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which could cause a crash when dialogs were closed by UNDO
|
|
button or 'Closer' gadget.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an old bug (from V3.0) which could cause memory corruption upon
|
|
an empty line in a configuration file.
|
|
|
|
- Updated the hypertext documentation, correcting a number of errors in it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.32 11-06-2004
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in memory allocation when composing the ARGV string;
|
|
it could cause errors or even a crash at launching a program or exiting
|
|
from a program.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which could lead to confusing environmental variables
|
|
with identical trailing ends (e.g. PATH and ATH).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in checking string length when creating links.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which disabled entry of certain characters in the form
|
|
for application path.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a variable-initialization bug related to scrolled editable
|
|
text fields in some dialogs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.31 4-06-2004
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- Corrected position of an object in desktop.rsc (Info... dialog).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in handling symbolic links without a path to the target.
|
|
(path of the link is assumed now).
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in passing parameters after the program name in VA_PROGSTART
|
|
and in Open... dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug of not being able to display items with names starting
|
|
with a character code > 127.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in redrawing dialog and windows after font changes.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in passing parameters via drag & drop.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which crashed the desktop if an attempt was made to
|
|
open more than one item through Open...
|
|
|
|
- More relaxed application of VA_START and AV_EXIT to those AV-protocol
|
|
clients which do not correctly sign-on / off with the AV-server.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the initial implementation of VA_PATH_UPDATE which interfered
|
|
with the handshake for some other AV-protocol messages; a client could
|
|
freeze during some operations.
|
|
|
|
- Improved cycling of AV-protocol-client windows.
|
|
|
|
- Improved display of item names during copying/moving/deleting.
|
|
|
|
- Positions and sizes of iconified windows are correctly saved in the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
|
|
- Redesigned routines for enabling/disabline menu items depending on
|
|
the context; this resulted in reduction of code size, welcome to counter
|
|
the increase caused by other changes.
|
|
|
|
- More logical calculation of total items size in info lines of directory
|
|
windows- only items matching the current mask (i.e. visible ones)
|
|
are summed up.
|
|
|
|
- Better handling of a TOS 2.06 bug that manifested itself as a need
|
|
for an additional mouseclick after (and sometimes before) a program
|
|
was started, and there were no windows open. Version 3.30 did not
|
|
work well in this respect with unpatched TOS 2.06 (possibly relevant
|
|
in TOS 3.06 as well ?)
|
|
|
|
- Clicking on desktop area now properly tops TeraDesk (may not work with
|
|
all AESes).
|
|
|
|
- Some left-over strings moved from the code to the resource file.
|
|
|
|
- More relaxed treatment of character codes in order to enable dialog
|
|
and menu hotkeys with characters particular to other languages
|
|
(the upper half of the 256-character set).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.30 23-04-2004
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Added special use flag for external viewer.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which sometimes caused copying from one disk to another
|
|
when icons were moved on the desktop.
|
|
|
|
- Path of the symbolic link is appended if the link contains only the name
|
|
of the referenced object, without a path to it.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some bugs related to AV-protocol.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in finding next or previous windows.
|
|
|
|
- Some code optimisation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.22 (never published, except for testing)
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Improved memory allocation system used (new version of AHCM), for
|
|
better handling of large blocks.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some bugs mostly related to local environment, AV-protocol
|
|
and handling of symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
- Better handling of iconified windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.21 (never published, except for testing)
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Drag & drop protocol repaired (TeraDesk acts as a sender only).
|
|
|
|
- Restore-mode copying enabled by [RShift] (overwrite newer files only).
|
|
|
|
- Updated and rearranged dialogs with help on keyboard commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.20 (or 3.2; never published, except for testing)
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Even more (almost all) AV-protocol messages supported.
|
|
|
|
- Update-mode copying enabled by [LShift] (overwrite older files only).
|
|
|
|
- Somewhat better handling of symbolic links.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.10 (or 3.1; never published, except for testing)
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- More general flagging of installed application for speciual use(s); new
|
|
(sub)dialog created; can mark several roles for special apps; a mechanism
|
|
created to mark them for some other functions as well, if need appears.
|
|
|
|
- As a result of the above, editor-specific functions are not needed
|
|
anymore; edit.c and edit.h files removed from the project.
|
|
|
|
- Added window duplicate function.
|
|
|
|
- Moved window-related menu items under a new menu title "Window".
|
|
|
|
- Much larger subset of AV-protocol messages handled; TeraDesk is now
|
|
a passable AV-server!
|
|
|
|
- Repaired the system-wide font selector callable via FONT protocol (e.g.
|
|
from ST-Guide, Multistrip, etc.) (this was inherited from previous
|
|
version but in fact did not work well).
|
|
|
|
- Repaired handling of ARGV protocol in Mint and Magic.
|
|
|
|
- Repaired Info... of the topped directory window; info on a file in the
|
|
topped text window can be shown as well.
|
|
|
|
- Local per-installed-application environment.
|
|
|
|
- Symbolic links can be created, edited, deleted, copied...
|
|
|
|
- More logical interpretation of links when "opening" items: real item
|
|
names are checked for, and real file names passed as parameters.
|
|
|
|
- When dialogs are in window mode, added a closer widget which acts the
|
|
same as Cancel button.
|
|
|
|
- Removed "normal" dialog mode.
|
|
|
|
- Removed startup batch file capability from the project; batch.c and
|
|
batch.h files removed from the project.
|
|
|
|
- Some small improvements in shutdown procedure. Also, if mint is detected,
|
|
"Shutdown(2)" is activated at the very end, causing system restart.
|
|
|
|
- Some small improvements in video options dialog.
|
|
|
|
- New command line variable: beside %f and %n, added %p (path).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.02 (never published)
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Source code cleanup; removed remains of support for the binary
|
|
configuration file; removed disabled old code for directory handling.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in left/right scrolling of text windows
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some errors in desktop.rsc
|
|
|
|
- More consistent application of string sizes for long names and commands
|
|
(still not quite systematically applied).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.01 7-01-2004
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- Restored full functionality of the name-conflict dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Repaired a bug in cookie finding routine (inherited from V2.*) which
|
|
could sometimes make TeraDesk practically unusable if the cookie jar did
|
|
not exist.
|
|
|
|
- Better fix for a TOS 2.06 bug related to ignoring the first mouse click
|
|
after execution of a GEM program if no windows were open.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which disabled seting of configuration file name in the
|
|
startup .BAT file (btw. should startup file feature be considered
|
|
obsolete- does not seem to be of much use anymore?)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed bad window redraw in icon mode with XaAES.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed bad redraw in font-selector listbox with XaAES. (these two were
|
|
probably faults of XaAES (V0.963), not TeraDesk)
|
|
|
|
- Correctly rebuilt the binary (previous version was linked wih a wrong
|
|
binary module; could cause a crash under memory protection).
|
|
|
|
- Set exit with "OK" from "Video options..." to always redraw complete
|
|
desktop, as a help to recover after screen corruption.
|
|
|
|
- Some code size optimizations.
|
|
|
|
- Some improvements and additions in TERADESK.HYP
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 3.0 14-12-2003
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
H. Robbers:
|
|
|
|
- Configuration data now in text mode. Easy to keep compatability. Name of
|
|
textmode confguration file is TERADESK.INF.
|
|
|
|
- Program cfg2inf.prg for converting the binary cfg to the textmode inf.
|
|
|
|
- Colour palette is saved in a separate file TERADESK.PAL.
|
|
|
|
- Replaced use of Malloc (Gemdos) to standard malloc. (replace all x_alloc
|
|
by malloc and x_free by free, except 2 that were used for interrogation)
|
|
This reduces memory fragmentation on the Gemdos level considerably,
|
|
especially important in multitasking environments.
|
|
|
|
- Replaced Wout's mememory allocator by mine (AHCM). AHCM allows memory
|
|
leak detection and reduces fragmentation even more by always allocating
|
|
Gemdos blocks in whole multiples of chunk size.
|
|
|
|
- As a result of the above it wasn't possible anymore to shrink the start
|
|
amount of 2000 directory entry structures (68 Kb). So I implemented a
|
|
pointer array instead. It starts with 256 entries (1 Kb) and is mildly
|
|
exponentially expanded when needed. The amount of memory used by the
|
|
pointer array is so low that shrinking isn't vital anymore. The amount
|
|
of entry structures never exceeds the actual amount present in the
|
|
directory. (A slight but nice advantage is that sorting now takes place
|
|
on the pointer array which only needs swapping around of 4 instead of 34
|
|
bytes. :-)
|
|
|
|
- Removed more of older cfg version
|
|
|
|
- cfg2inf.prg: The editor string in the old config is converted to a flag
|
|
for the (installed) editor in the new config. So it is preserved if the
|
|
editor was installed.
|
|
|
|
Dj. Vukovic:
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug of not immediately refreshing a changed background
|
|
pattern/colour in text windows;
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug of not correctly setting and so corrupting type of desktop
|
|
icon in desktop icons dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some bugs which disabled printing of more than one file at a time;
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some bugs in scrolling text fields (cursor placement, padding...)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug which swallowed the first char of command lines for .TTPs
|
|
|
|
- Corrected enabling/disabling of some menu items depending on context;
|
|
|
|
- Fixed two cases of not releasing allocated memory after use;
|
|
|
|
- Fixed bad redraw of animated colour icons;
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug of cv_fntoform() overrunning available dialog buffer;
|
|
|
|
- Removed some overlooked fixed keyboard shortcuts from previous version;
|
|
|
|
- Adjusted length of "filetype" dialog fields vs. allocated string length
|
|
(dialog field was longer than permitted string length);
|
|
|
|
- Some fixes which (hopefully) will correct improper window and dialog
|
|
redrawing with XaAES only (V0.963).
|
|
|
|
- A lot of source code cleaned up; also removed some commented-out code
|
|
from previous versions;
|
|
|
|
- Some optimization of desktop.rsc and use of it; removed unnecessary
|
|
alerts, reused some strings, etc.
|
|
|
|
- Significant reduction of code size by reorganizing routines and data
|
|
structures related to text and directory windows, so that same code is
|
|
used for both window types;
|
|
|
|
- Integrated dialogs, routines and data structures regarding
|
|
filetype-selectors, so that there is only one filetype-selector dialog
|
|
in desktop.rsc; significant reduction in executable code size because a
|
|
lot of routines are made to work on all file/filetype lists. New files:
|
|
lists.c and lists.h
|
|
|
|
- Reorganization of "Install Application" function, so that a dialog is
|
|
shown displaying a list of installed applications. Reduction in code
|
|
size because of modifications in several routines.
|
|
|
|
- Same concept is used for entering/editing all lists: filetype masks,
|
|
program types, window icon filetypes and applications. It is possible to
|
|
select an item from the list and manually edit it (i.e. two dialog
|
|
levels), or to select an item in a window and then immediately open a
|
|
second-level dialog to edit the entry.
|
|
|
|
- ALL dialogs now fit ST-low resolution. Some are reduced in size even
|
|
more for faster redraws on low-end machines
|
|
|
|
- Several small fixes and improvements in floppy formatting routines;
|
|
|
|
- Target floppy drive is locked during formatting/copying in Mint & MagiC;
|
|
|
|
- Somewhat improved handling of overscan hack (tested with Lacescan);
|
|
|
|
- Improved operation of the "fuller" gadget- fulled window is moved left
|
|
until it is completely on the screen;
|
|
|
|
- Improved operation of the "fuller" gadget for text window in "hex" mode-
|
|
window is made only as wide as needed;
|
|
|
|
- Created "pressed" 3d effects when arrows pressed in Window Optons and
|
|
Desk Preferences;
|
|
|
|
- Added window iconify/deiconify capability in AESes that support it
|
|
(AES4.1, Geneva, Magic, XaAES...)
|
|
|
|
- Cosmetic change: added left margin to text windows;
|
|
|
|
- Added checking for duplicate entries in filemasks, program types,
|
|
window icons and applications lists;
|
|
|
|
- Added possibility to properly cancel changes in filemasks list;
|
|
|
|
- Added posibility to start an application or program type in
|
|
"no-multitasking" mode in Magic (not working very well yet);
|
|
|
|
- Added possibility to limit memory available to a program type or
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
- Added capability to mark an installed application as "autostart";
|
|
|
|
- Added capability of "Search" to find text in files as well;
|
|
|
|
- Added "touch" ((re)set date and/or attributes) functionality; user
|
|
interface implemented through additional button in the "Object info"
|
|
dialog. Considerable reorganisation of that dialog(s). TeraDesk is now
|
|
able to display DOS/Windows folder attributes though not able to change
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
- While copying files it is possible to change date/time and attributes.
|
|
|
|
- Added "Compare files" functionality; a nice knack is that it
|
|
resynchronizes search positions after a found difference.
|
|
|
|
- Improved "Open..." function; it now tries to figure out what type of
|
|
item should be opened: a program, a folder/drive, a file assigned as a
|
|
document to application, or an unassigned file. In case of a
|
|
program/application, it is possible to enter a comand tail after
|
|
path+name;
|
|
|
|
- Command line dialog for TTP programs remembers last command if program
|
|
name has not changed.
|
|
|
|
- Filename/filetype entry forms in dialogs appear in 8+3 length if there
|
|
is no long-filename-capable OS present (i.e. without Mint or Magic);
|
|
|
|
- Much improved appearance of dialog elements, especially in 3D AESes; 3D
|
|
effects are properly drawn when needed. Significant reorganization and
|
|
simplification of routines for progdefined objects in xddraw.c;
|
|
|
|
- [Shift[[Help] calls ST-Guide (if available) to display TERADESK.HYP;
|
|
|
|
- Cramped_name() used for nicer display of long window titles;
|
|
|
|
- Improved recognition of TOS and AES versions and their capabilities
|
|
and limitations.
|
|
|
|
- Added capability to call a file selector in scrolled text fields;
|
|
upon pressing the [Insert] key
|
|
|
|
- As "Print" option now exists in the menu, that option has been removed
|
|
from the Show/Edit/Cancel dialog and an alertbox is used instead of the
|
|
dialog
|
|
|
|
- Updated the .HYP documentation.
