========================================================================= 12.04.1997 Version 1.30 * No more beta! * Visual enhancements: Equal sized buttons and new color scheme. Also a redesigned buttonset. * New extensions file. * X-Files installer now makes a copy of your old configuration files, if you choose to overwrite them in install. * X-Files now fully supports names and paths with whitespaces! As a result of this, the event that sets the focus to the path-entry is changed to Escape-key. As a "side effect" of this, all other special characters work as well. You only have to be careful with the backslash ('\'). * Extensions can now be longer (eg. tar.gz or real.long.extension.for.my.app) The longest match is used (matching is now case sensitive). * X-Files is also availavable as rpm (for RedHat Linuxers... :) * X-Files -code is split into pieces, thus speeding up the startup. * You can set the initial geometry and size in the resources and change the size later on!!! * You can set the number (1-6) of button columns and the spacing (0-n) between buttons in the resources. * In Help-mode right click on a button shows the command it executes. * [VirtualTar] now supports also compressed archives and works in DEC Alphas. * You can use [PatternSelect] in Virtual Filesystem. * The directory listings can be sorted by the extension. In this, only the last extension counts. Works also in Virtual Filesystem. * Message logging to log-windows and/or -files. * File handling with dos-partitions and links has been improved, no more errors. * You can copy the path from the directory entry to global clipboard by triple clicking the entry! * Virtual Filesystem no longer disables the ActionButtons on that side thus allowing their usage with right mousebutton. * Enhancements and bug-fixes in Output Window and its FileSelector, Resource Editor and Button Editor. * Now the file names are truncated if they do not fit in the listbox allowing the sizes to be always visible. * Auto updating has improved, now checks also the selections. Also keeps up with changes made by other programs. * The forced update (directory entry + RMB) now refreshes the view AND keeps the selections. * The listboxes in Extension Editor now work as they should always have worked. ========================================================================= 29.11.1996 Version 1.21 beta * Fixed a bug in the "enhanced" installer that did not work correctly with new users... Sorry! * Fixed a bug that (if you did not have a mail spool) caused an error during start-up. * Fixed a bug that tried to create the commands file in the "~/.x-files" -directory before that was created. Again only with new users. ========================================================================= 26.11.1996 Version 1.20 beta * NEW!!! A new option "Mail Check" that (when enabled) informs you of new mail. With it comes four new resource-items, check them in xfilesrc. * NEW!!! In Linux the filesystem type is shown in the InfoAreas. * NEW!!! Start-up should now be faster, because command switch checking is done only at the first time. Later they are read from the file "~/.x-files/xfiles.commands" * Now in Alphas you can copy the directory itself, not the contents as it was. Depended whether the directory had the trailing slash or not... Could have affected other platforms also, though not Linux. * X-Files Resource Editor updated to v0.4 New feature is "Edit name..."- button which allows you to edit the resource name. Also now you can add and remove "*xfiles.popup_user_item_?" options. Missing new "*xfiles." -options are added automatically, if possible. * ButtonEditor now tells that you have _unsaved_ changes when closing even if you have applied the changes. * It is now possible to have the Button Editor open and change the help text AND instantly check it with the help-mode. * Installer and OutputWindow's FileSelector now have confirmations for overwriting existing files. * If you have multiple OutputWindows open and use the SaveToFile -command, the contents of the correct window are now saved. * Operations [CopyAs] and [Rename] now change correctly selections and selection sizes. Added "Abort!"-button for these operations, also the dialog window stays in one place during the process... ;-) * You can now put %o specifiers right next to one another AND they do not have to be in order from left to right. * If you "loose" an open editor window behind other windows, choose the menu item again and it will raise on top. * The "Buttons" -menu contents in new (and hopefully better) order. * Problems with links should now be fixed * If you try to enter a directory with no permissions for you, the errors are handled more conveniantely. * In Virtual filesystem when you are in root directory and press a key the view now changes correctly. * Some problems with path entry features are now fixed. * ProtEditor now updates the listings when closing. * After editing resources and restarting X-Files there were "zombie" windows left. Should be now fixed. * Undoing Safedelete now works with files that have special characters. * Also Rename works with special characters. ========================================================================= 16.10.1996 Version 1.1 beta * MAJOR screw-up from our part... sorry! We did not fully check the previous (1.03 )package and there were fundamental errors that prevented the usage of X-Files. They are now fixed. ========================================================================= 10.10.1996 Version 1.03 beta * NEW!!! Included a version of X-Files Resource Editor v0.3 You can change the resources easily and even see the changes instantly. * Fixed two bugs in Virtual Filesystem: - files in package that started with tilde (~) caused an error - if the package root had only deep directories they were showed incorrectly * This version is no more "krypted", you can see how we have messed the whole thing up... :) The bugs in versions 1.00 and 1.01 were caused by this. ========================================================================= 28.09.96 Version 1.02b * Fixed a bug in Extension Editor that prevented adding new bindings * Fixed a bug in selection size calculation which went crazy with devices ========================================================================= 27.09.96 version 1.01b * Minor bugfixes...
