- Updates
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
-
- Version 1.00
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Originally WIMP based version. Very simple, 5 page version.
- (April 1992).
-
- Version 1.10
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Increased to 10 pages.
-
- Version 1.10a
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Number of bug fixes.
-
- • Widely released on a number of CD-ROM compilations with a nasty
- bug!
-
- Version 1.10b
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Fixed rather nasty bug whereby Notepad saved Notes files in
- currently selected directory, rather than inside itself!
-
- Version 2.00
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Complete rewrite 1996.
-
- Version 2.01
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Full saving facilities added.
-
- • 'Save Default' option added.
-
- • If !Notepad.Default file is present upon loading Notepad then
- this file is automatically loaded.
-
- • Insert at caret function speed dramatically increased.
- (Should also stop weird characters sometimes appearing!)
-
- • Title bar now used to show currently loaded notepad.
-
- • Error message now given if Notepad is already loaded.
-
- • Partially implemented new filetype for saved notes.
-
- • Implemented (very) simple printing routines. Not happy with it
- at the moment. Although printer drivers *are* being used, I think
- I'll stick to SYSTEM font - it seems a bit overkill to use
- Trinity!
-
- • When moving from one page to another the caret is now set to top
- left.
-
- • Clicking on 'OK' icon in save box WILL now save the current notes
- file. Not fully supported yet however as filenames are not checked
- to be legal and the file is saved in the csd.
-
- • Pressing <RETURN> on the last line of the current page now has no
- effect. (Previously it automatically moved to the next page).
-
- • Pressing CTRL+TAB moves the caret to the page icon. If caret
- already in page icon then caret is moved to title icon (and vice
- versa).
-
- • Notes save format slightly amended to add simple internet header.
- This will enable easy checking of file to test whether it is a
- genuine notes file.
-
- Version 2.03d
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Sorted out problems (hopefully) with 'TextCopy' module.
- Previously nasty text seemed to be typed if string originated from
- this module. This text also appeared in the saved notepad files.
- None of this should now happen.
-
- • Pressing F3 now brings up the save box.
-
- • Pressing CTRL+F3 now saves current notepad as default.
-
- • Fast Forward/Rewind etc. icons are now slabbed when clicked upon.
-
- • Mouse pointer changes when pointer over 'write to caret' icon.
-
- • Bug fix where sometimes pages are not saved when moving backwards
- and forwards.
-
- • Disabled all 'write to caret' icons whilst text IS being written
- to an icon.
-
- Version 2.04d
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Changed display format in 'info' box to represent 'ß' for Beta,
- rather than 'D' for Development. Looks nicer ;-)
-
- • Finally (I hope) removed the bug whereby text was no longer sent
- to icon after a variable number of tries!
-
- • Caret is only repositioned at top left icon if caret is already
- present in Notepad window - otherwise it is left where it is.
-
- • Implemented support for 'Drag a Sprite' module (finally!). All
- drag-saves should now use 'Drag a Sprite' wherever possible.
-
- • Saved notes files can now be loaded by double-clicking them. If
- !Notepad is not already loaded then it is loaded first.
-
- • Removed 'Preferences' menu option. Replaced this with 'Insert'
- menu.
-
- • Added full hotkey support for typing text at caret. Note F1 has
- not been used because this causes problems with !Edit - hence F2
- to F10 have been used instead.
-
- • Added full support for Acorn's !Help application.
-
- Version 2.05ß
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Removed 'closedown' bug whereby program didn't quit on shutdown
- message.
-
- • Fixed rather nasty bug whereby pressing 'escape' hung the
- machine. This fix should also ensure that Notepad will not freeze
- the machine for no reason - as it did in 2.05ß.
-
- • Altered definition of CTRL+TAB to move caret to 'Title' icon as
- priority over 'Page' icon.
-
- • Added close icon to save box.
-
- Version 2.06ß > 2.07ß
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Previously, if a notepad file was double-clicked without notepad
- loaded, then Notepad was loaded, then the file. Unfortunately if a
- 'Default' file was present this was also loaded! 'Default' file
- now only loaded if Notepad is launched without using a notepad
- file.
-
- • If an invalid file is dragged/double-clicked and Notepad attempts
- to load it and failed it was previously left open - this has been
- corrected.
-
- • Fixed remaining problems with passing on key-presses. Version 2.
- 06ß did not pass on keypresses correctly, eg. if main window was
- open F12 did not function.
-
- • Fixed rather strange bug whereby program would crash if a drag-
- save was attempted whilst the !Help program was running.
-
- • Fixed another rather strange bug whereby the help text would be
- inserted instead of the current icon if the !Help program was
- running.
-
- • Fixed bug whereby program STILL occasionally hung if escape key
- was pressed.
-
- • Fixed bug whereby pressing F3 for the savebox, then dragging file
- caused fatal error!
-
- • Added hotkey displays to save menu.
-
- • Changed main window display to fit the 'Title' description on
- when using System font.
-
- Version 2.07ß
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Rewritten change detection routines so that "*" should appear as
- soon as the text is altered.
-
- • Import routine written allowing DATA and TEXT files to be dragged
- to an icon on the notepad. First line of dragged file will be
- entered at mouse position.
-
- • Added nice help window for displaying the instructions for
- the program, when written!
-
- • Changed options available and added support for them.
-
- • Saved file format slightly changed to allow two extra settings to
- be stored. Original saved files can still be loaded but both 'Open
- Window After Load' and 'Enable Write to Caret' options will be
- ENABLED by default.
-
- • Added new !Help file. Double-clicking this loads Notepad and
- automatically opens the help file and window. Alternatively
- clicking 'Help' from the filer window does the same.
-
- Version 2.08ß
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Finally sorted out the keypress passing problems. This was further
- highlighted when it was discover that SHIFT+F12 didn't toggle the
- icon bar position. The problem was caused due to the hotkey
- detection window being opened in a 'hidden' mode. Basically, the
- wimp kept trying to pass the keypress to this same window over and
- over again, causing the machine to hang. To get around this I've
- opened the hotkey window as a normal window - but way outside the
- visible area (I hope, unless of course you happen to have a 64"
- monitor!).
-
- • Removed a couple of menu options from the Notepad menu (Info and
- Quit). I thought it was a bit uneccesary as they are already on
- the main menu.
-
- • Added 'Are you sure' options onto both Delete functions.
-
- • Caret is put into relevent save window icon when F3/CTRL+P is
- pressed.
-
- • Fixed the last (I hope) bug in Notepad which was only caused when
- using the Textcopy module. The last character was being truncated
- off. This should be okay now.
-
- • Fully implemented all search functions.
-
- • Entered Help text for new windows (for when using !Help).
-
- • A couple of minor bug fixes.
-
- • Added 'Help' icon to help window, clicking this causes Acorn's
- !Help to be loaded.
-
- • Changed templates slightly to ensure everything looks okay on pre-
- RiscPC machine (Ie. With System font).
-
- • Added file overwrite warning an all files except Default file.
-
- Version 2.08ß
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Added new Spidersoft logo to 'Info' box.
-
- • Fixed bug when clearing whole notepad.
-
- Version 2.091ß
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • Added new 'flash' and 'beep' indicator when search match is found.
-
- • Added CTRL+F and CTRL+B to move backwards and forwards through
- pages.
-
- Version 2.10
- ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
- • First release version since originally 1.xx version in 1992.
-
- • Fixed bug whereby clicking 'Save Default' entered text from first
- line to caret, instead of Saving the file!
-
- • Changed button bar to always be at the front (much nicer!).
-
- • Fixed bug whereby pressing CTRL+TAB to move caret to Page icon
- caused program to error.
-
- • Added support for ANT Internet Suite Hotlist files.
-
- • Added warning for first-time-user if write to caret function is
- disabled.
