- Revision 1.6.
-
- Well, here it is. After much internal debate I have decided to take Browser
- as it is and release it as shareware, rather than polish it some more and try
- to make it a commercial product.
-
- - I'm not able to work on code for the Amiga as hard as I used to.
- This has nothing to do with the computer... the real world is
- imposing on my time.
-
- - I've run into some bugs in the current version of the Manx 'C'
- compiler, version 3.6a, that are just too much trouble for me to
- get a workaround done.
-
- - The largest commercial advantage to Browser, the ability to operate
- on icon-less files, is rumored to appear in Workbench 1.4.
-
- - I've recieved word that someone else is working on a Browser. This
- means WAR... :->
-
- I will continue to work on it, at a slower pace. Future enhancements like
- REXX ports and a regular command language will eventually get done. Releases
- will, paradoxically, come out faster. They could hardly be slower... :->
- Any donations you see fit to make, out of the goodness of your heart, will
- help speed this process up.
-
- Enhancements in 1.6:
-
- Multiple tools menus.
- No close gadget on the browser window.
- Smarter window positioning code.
- CLI support!
- Real-time updating of drag-bars.
- Assignments appear in the browser window.
- File sizes.
- Selection of all files in a window.
- Selection of files by pattern.
- Duplicate file without having to move it to another volume.
- Better checks for multiple volumes and hard disks.
- Internally cleaner code.
- Should support different fonts (not tested).
- And lots more I can't think of at the moment.
-
- Revision 1.6a.
-
- The 'rename' menu item was broken. I'm not sure what's wrong, but when
- I send a rename packet it returns error 232: no directory slots available.
- I've gone back to my earlier workaround for the lack of a real two-lock
- rename function, and I'm releasing it immediately as Rev 1.6a.
