DocMan 2.1
Copyright 1995, Michel Forget
Electric Storm Software
The documentation for this archive is located in DocMan.TXT, which
should be located in the same directory as this document. This list of
bug fixes and changes made to DocMan is in chronological order; the new
information appears at the end of the document.
** IMPORTANT **
Before installing DocMan, you must end all tasks that might be using the 3D
control library; these tasks include QuickCD, CD Player, and most other tray
applications. To end a task, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, select the task to be
ended, and click "End Task".
December 25, 1995: DocMan 1.8
BUG FIXES:
1. DocMan will no longer display an error message indicating that the
DOCMAN.INI file could not be found.
2. DocMan will now update the document count display correctly. The
previous version of DocMan would only update this field once.
3. DocMan will now format messages displayed on the screen properly (there
will be no more 'tiny' message displays on 1024x768 screens).
4. DocMan should now be able to locate the help file every time now.
NEW FEATURES:
1. DocMan can now optionally close the document window after a document
is opened with the "Open" command.
2. DocMan now features a "status" bar which appears at the bottom of the
document window. This is the area where informative messages that do
not require your immediate attention will be displayed.
3. DocMan can now display the "type" of a document, instead of the name.
There is also a separate column that indicates whether or not DocMan is
protecting the document.
Example:
Name Protected? Type
file.doc Yes Word Document
file_id.diz No Archive Information File
pentium.txt No Text File
win.ini No Configuration Settings
4. The DocMan interface has been redesigned to make using DocMan faster and
less complicated. The differences are outlined below:
a) There are now fewer buttons in the quick access area, which means
there is more space for the document list.
b) The quick access area has been moved so that it appears above the
document list, for easier reading.
c) Those features which no longer appear in the quick access area have
been moved to the menu (which is located directly above the quick
access area).
5. The document list is now shown in three columns, consisting of the
name of the document, the status of the document, and the type of
the document. The width of the columns can be changed simply by
clicking on the divider to the right of the column you want to adjust
and moving the mouse left or right while holding down the left mouse
button. You can select a document by clicking on the name of the
document (not the status or the type) with the left mouse button.
You can select more than one document by holding down the control
key and clicking on each document you want to select.
6. You can now right-click a document to open a context menu, just as you
would right-click a folder, file, icon, or drive in Explorer.
7. DocMan now has support for "tooltips". If you allow the mouse pointer to
hover stationary over a button, or text field, a short description of the
button or text field will be displayed.
8. There is now an "Unprotect Document" command to go with the "Protect
Document" command.
9. You can now open a document (or more than one document if you wish) by
double-clicking on the document in the document window. If you want to
open more than one document, select each document while depressing the
control key and then (after releasing the control key) the last document
you selected.
December 25, 1995: DocMan 1.8
BUG FIXES:
1. When you make a change to your preferences, the change will now be
recorded properly. In the previous version of DocMan, the change would
only be recorded if you selected "Exit" from the right-mouse-button
context menu.
2. If your system registry does not contain information about a certain
file type, or DocMan could not locate that information, it will not
show "(null)" any longer. Instead, it will show "Unknown".
NEW FEATURES:
1. There is now a "remove all unprotected" command, which will automatically
remove all unprotected documents from the document window.
ALERT:
If you own a SyQuest EZ-135 Internal IDE Removable HArd Disk, please consult
the PROBLEMS.TXT text file for information about a -potential- conflict with
DocMan.
February 21, 1996: DocMan 2.0
BUG FIXES:
1. The "Add Document" command in the context menu now performs the correct
function. In the previous version of DocMan, this command would cause
the document list to be refreshed.
2. DocMan will no longer crash if you move the document window.
3. DocMan will no longer crash if you select "About" from the context
menu.
4. DocMan will no longer crash if you select "Options" from the context
menu.
NEW FEATURES:
1. DocMan has been compiled with a new compiler; it is now smaller, faster,
and more efficient.
2. DocMan is now a true Windows 95 application, as opposed to a Win32
Windows NT application.
3. The installation module has been improved; it is now a 32-BIT Windows 95
application, and it now more robust. In the next version of DocMan, the
installation module will be improved again (to make it more user
friendly).
February 22, 1996: DocMan 2.0
Bug Fixes:
1. DocMan once again contains a version information tab.
2. DocMan will no longer display a message if it cannot find a file that
a shortcut points to.
