Short: AppIcon Commodity for multiple viewers
Uploader: newlook@ameritech.net (Deryk B. Robosson)
Author: newlook@ameritech.net (Deryk B. Robosson)
Type: util/cdity
Requires: OS3.0+
Replaces: NewViewv1.lha
NewViews features include:
· Allows the use of nearly any text or graphics viewer that
supports commandline viewing. It should also work fine
with programs such as Play16.
· Allows the user to set the hotkey for viewing (assuming
the viewer provides a file requester.)
· Allows the user to set the X and Y coordinates of the
appicon via ToolTypes.
· Allows setting of a default dir for the file requester
to start with. *NEW FOR V1.2*
· Can be enabled/disabled via any commodities exchange
program. Can also be removed via CTRL-C.
· Settable commodity priority
· Complete drag and drop support via Workbench AppIcon.
· Settable icon text.
NewView was basically written because I was tired of having
to open things up all the time just to view something be it a
picture or text etc. I wanted the ablility to have something
on my desktop that I could just drop something onto and view
that particular something. The ability to remove it also
crossed my mind and thus it was wrapped into a commodity.
Otherwise one would have to have a program to send the CTRL-C
to it (such as SysInspector.) With the commodity wrapper over
it, you can enable and disable the appicon at any point in time
or even remove it. Keep in mind that even though it's disabled
the AppIcon will still remain on the desktop, you just won't be
able to use it.
