-
- 1.40 Release version 5th July 1995
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Bugfixes
- --------
- -Files couldn't be deleted if the safety alerts were turned off.
- -If an external program returned an error/s >0 then under some
- circumstances one of several alerts may have been called. This led to
- confusion! :-)
-
- New features
- ------------
- -Following the times the main window can now be resized. Two new window
- elements allow the window to display between 13 and 26 entries.
- -New Console window implemented. This can be opened at any time and freely
- positioned. Output is stored until the next time the Console is called.
- The Console window can be used to display text files so Two View has
- become obselete.
- -The Console window font can be changed which affects all ASCII text in
- the window.
- -The 3D effects have been reworked and are visible in 16 colour
- resolutions or higher. Further improvements are still to come.
- -Some people found the method used to update the directory paths of the
- opposite window too awkward. This is now configurable using the 'Remember
- paths of directory windows' option.
- If this results in a storm of protest it's easy enough to add another
- option, but this merely results in an over complicated setting dialog.
- -Using wildcards, all characters can now be entered.
- -Two-in-One automatically checks whether Kobold v2 or v3 is available
- immediately before starting each copy/move/delete operation instead of
- just once on starting the program.
-
- 1.22 Release version
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Bugfixes
- --------
- -The 'GEM' setting in the the Program dialog wasn't correctly saved in
- TWOINONE.INF, now fixed.

-
- New features
- ------------

- Error messages instead of cryptic messages. These are handled using a new
- file called TWOINONE.ERR.
- -Archive comment handling revamped. It's possible to set a comment in an
- LZH archive which calls a reference in an ST-Guide format HYP file. An
- empty comment can also be included if desired.
- -The 'Date', 'Time' and MTOS-MP settings in the Info dialog are now
- editable. All setting can be 'touched' (updated) by exiting the dialog

- --------
-
- -Manager problem with the Falcon (Error -39) now fixed.
- -UNIX generated LZH archive can now be read.
- -Two-in-One was not correctly reading LZH files packed with the 'lz'
- algorithmn.

- were not correctly read.
- -VD_QUICK.TTP calls after packing is once again an option.
- -The default archive path for packing/unpacking is no longer automatically
- displayed in the shell window on starting.
- -GEM setting was incorrectly saved in TWOINONE.INF.

- archive using the 'Test' archive pop-up.
- -'Display' is no longer selectable if a folder is selected.
- -Moving dialogs which didn't contain editable fields lead to bombs, now
- fixed.
- -If both windows displayed the same directory, after an 'Action...' only
- one was updated, now fixed.
-
- New features
- ------------
- -The number of selected files and folders and overall total size can now
- optionally be displayed in the main dialog.
- -Wildcard support implemented: Double click on the directory title bar to
- display the wildcard selector. To add a new wildcard to the pop-up enter
- the desired wildcard, open the pop-up and, holding the [Shift] key down
- select a menu position.
- -[Undo] overrides the current wildcard and returns to the default '*.*'.
- -The directory windows now auto scroll if the mouse is moved above or
- below the window area.
- -New option in the GEM Shell dialog: 'Automatically starts a matching
- viewer'. If this option is active double-clicking on any file in the
- directory window calls the viewer the appropriate viewer and opens the
- file, the File info dialog is not displayed.
- To display the File info dialog hold down the [Shift] key whilst
- double-clicking.
- -Two-in-One can call ST-Guide even if it's been started after Two-in-One
- (eg via Chameleon).
- -In the folder info dialog the size of the folder(s) is now displayed.
- -In the archive info dialog the overall compression rate of the archive
- is displayed.
- -In the 'Program' dialog its possible to specify whether the actual path
- of the program or its directory is set.
- -Double click on an archive whilst holding down the [Shift] key and the
- file info dialog is displayed instead of opening the archive.
- -An LHarc file eventually reports no files in the archive, if its been
- packed using 'relative' (eg '\TEST.') and the 'x1' option is not set.
- Two-in-One now automatically activtes this option if this circumstance
- is encountered.
- -So that the ominous warning displayed if ST-ZIP.PRG (instead of
- ZIPJR.TTP) is configured as the ZIP handler no longer appears Two-in-One
- now displays its own warning if ST-ZIP.PRG is selected.
- -If VD-QUICK.TTP is selected in the 'Program' dialog, default values are
- automatically assigned.
- -Especially for the benefit of new Two-in-One users the program and
- archive dialogs now feature a 'Defaults' button. Selecting these buttons
- add example data into the fields.
- Please bear in mind you have to verify the files indicated by this
- example data actually exist!
- -Using the Manager the 'Actions...' pop-up can no longer be activated
- using the right mouse button, this caused problems with background
- operations and nobody used it anyway!
- -[Delete] deletes, just like [F8].
- -External programs can now be called using the 'Programs...' pop-up
- (previously called 'Action...'). Up to eight programs can be configured
- to communicate with Two-in-One via a command line and set to recognise
- specific file extenders.
- -Two-in-One is now happy wherever or however it's started.
- -After changing drives the current directory and not the root directory is
- displayed. The use of the current path for drive changes can be defined
- using the INF file option '#nap'.
- -Using the 'Programs...' pop-up it's now possible to (optionally) start
- GEM programs from Two-in-One. So that Two-in-One can recognise such
- programs they must have the file extender 'PRG', 'APP' or 'GTP'.
- -Up to 5 external file viewers are supported, which can each be assigned
- specific extender(s). The configuration of the file viewers is now carried
- out via a dialog inside Two-in-One (rather than as options in the
- TWO-VIEW.INF file).
- -Two-in-One suggests a name if you create a new folder with an open archive
- and also suggests an archive name if a folder is open.
- -The ST-GUIDE Help system is now fully supported. ST-Guide can be called
- either as an ACC or installed as a viewer and called as a PRG and used to
- view the on-line help which appears in a GEM Window. The original
- Two-in-One help dialogs are no longer supported.
- -The active archiver parameters are displayed in the Info line of the TOS
- window during ARGV communication.
- -Iconify under MTOS is thrown out. Until a release version appears there
- are more important things to use the [Undo] key for. If a release version
- of MTOS appears I'll review the situation.
- -Various keyboard shortcuts changed to follow the evolving gem-list
- standard and to make keyboard control more intuitive.
- -'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons now follow the Atari standards. This can be
- controlled using the '#nsw' entry in the INF file.
- -If the confirmation is active for 'Delete' and 'Copy/move' operations it
- can be suspended by holding down either [Shift] key whilst selecting the
- button.
- -The internally used Archive commands can now be read in the file
- TWOINONE.CMD. This future proofs Two-in-One should Windows really take
- over from GEM! I hasten to add I don't forsee any danger of this for the
- next five years.
- -The main dialog supports WM_BOTTOMED.
- -Either the path fields or corresponding buttons, can be selected to set
- paths.
- -The filenames for the English and French versions now have their own
- unique names, TWOINENG and TWOINFRE respectively.
- -After successfully entering your personal key data a confirmation dialog
- appear. Unsuccessful attempts are greeted with outrage!!
