View Ref-FileHistory - Changes up to this version Thing
As I often make several changes in one day and cannot always remember
afterwards exactly what they all were, it is quite possible that not all
of them are included in this listing. However the really important changes
are definitely present...
(+ new, - dropped), ! bugfix/change)
Changes in Version 1.27! Unfortunately the check whether the destination file system could handle
symbolic links was not fully thought through, giving rise to some nasty
problems (for instance, without MagiC Kobold was no longer used for
copying). This should not happen any more
! The 'Show Info' context menu did not work in a root directory
! Crashes could occur with NVDI if a context menu was opened at the upper
edge of the screen (possible under N.AES with a 'hidden' menu bar)
! Thing now includes a 'workaround' for the tiresome WDIALOG problem under
N.AES. Although I cannot guarantee that it now works with all possible
configurations, it worked for my tests at least
! The fill-pattern for the desktop will now be drawn only if no (valid)
background picture is present, the background image is smaller than the
desktop but not tiled, or is transparent. This prevents flickering when
redrawing the desktop background, whose visibility depended on the speed
of the graphic output
! The special attributes 'suid', 'sgid' and 'sticky' are no longer
selectable from the keyboard when their index card 'page' is not visible
! In the Copy confirmation dialog some buttons were selectable even when
they were actually deactivated
! The popup boxes for the font selector, the desktop and the '..' context
menus now have scroll arrows only when they contain more than 10 entries
! The double-click simulator now works again for windows lying in the
background
! The context menus for windows and the desktop (i.e. not those for
objects) can now be called with the right mouse button even with the
double-click simulator active (the Control + left-click alternative
remains, of course)
! 'Eject' is now also available for removable media devices, as an XHDI
driver can't reliably detect if the media can be ejected without
actually ejecting it
! 'Eject' is no longer selectable if the drive is locked according to the
XHDI driver
! Workaround for a problem with STEmulator + Atari NVDI
! With TOS file systems, files without a prefix (i.e. with only an
extension, say '.inf') will no longer be regarded as hidden
! With automatic window fitting the minimum window size will be 14x7
characters
! With automatic window fitting, the chosen margins will be respected now
even when 'Automatic placement of directory windows' is not active
! It has unfortunately proved necessary to strengthen the safety measures
against attempts to overcome the restrictions of the unregistered
version by means of 'patches'. Unfortunately there are still people who
think that they are Robin Hood and/or believe they are very clever and
don't (want to) realise that pirate copies (which is just what an
illegally 'registered' shareware program is) will sooner or later drive
away the few remaining programmers that are still active on the Atari
platform. However it is reassuring that the majority of users pay up
honestly (at least if a burdonsome restriction is present)
! ThingRun now works (once more) under N.AES on a Minix partition
! Filtering out of the additional VFAT entries under Single-TOS should
now really work in all circumstances
! Under Single-TOS one could no longer Copy drives with Drag&Drop
! Copying very deeply lying folder structures resulted in a stack overflow
that could lead to bombing out
! The counters became confused if complete directories were skipped during
copying
Changes in Version 1.26! No more crashes with text display of folders in groups
! The Kobold option 'Only for 8+3 file systems' was not saved correctly
! 'Eject' is no longer selectable (greyed out) if the drive concerned can
not perform this according to the XHDI driver controlling it
! One cannot create a symbolic link in the 'New object' dialog any more
if the file system does not support symbolic links. However not all
file systems provide information about this; if they don't, Thing
assumes that symbolic links are possible
! When copying to file systems that do not support symbolic links (see
above), 'Follow links' is switched on automatically and the
'Configuration' dialog adapted accordingly. Besides one also cannot
create links by Shift -Drag&Drop on such systems
! Reading of a directory is now broken off if an error occurs while
establishing the attributes of an entry
! In the context menu for the '..' directory the first entry will now be
preselected if one has opened it with a keyboard shortcut
- The workaround for the NOVA-VDI was removed again, because first of all
it apparently never worked properly and secondly it greatly slowed down
Thing initialisation with a number of other VDIs
Changes in Version 1.25 (TOS4YOU-Messe release)I have not listed individually changes in the unpublished intermediate
versions, but included them all together here; furthermore the order is
fairly arbitrary -- well actually it is in a sort of chronological order
in two parts :).! Under N.AES 1.1.7 the unloading of Thing (overlay) works properly, i.e.
on termination of the program Thing becomes the system shell once again.
This removes the annoying flicker of the desktop
! Existing destination files are now deleted before being overwritten
because -- when dealing with a symbolic link -- up to now their
destination was overwritten (instead of the link entry)
! The display of owner and group on file systems that support this is now
better because the maximum lengths are established so that it is no
longer necessary to pad with spaces to obtain a constant 8 characters
! The window position with automatic placement active will no longer be
altered (say during size adaptation) if one has positioned the window
manually outside the specified margins
! The text for changing over the file date/timestamp is now shown and
removed correctly
! Thing no longer crashes when launched with certain VDIs (was the result
of an error in the 'improved' True-Color tests for V1.21
! Free space on drives above a given size is no longer displayed as a
negative number
! MagiC's Shutdown program is now passed the parameters '-1 0' (and no
longer just '-1'), because the alternative program by Alexander Barton
reports an error otherwise
+ If a completely new installation of an application is made (i.e. with
'New' in the corresponding dialog), Thing will adopt the icon text on
the desktop (if any) when this file is selected if the new application
has been placed there beforehand
! Scrolling in the listboxes by more than one line works once more
without redraw errors
! Thing now allows AV_STARTPROG messages without path specifications as
well, such as are sent by ICONNECT. For this however the relevant
program has to be installed in such a way that the standard path is
that of the application -- the file to be opened must also lie there.
But in any case there is no sense in passing a filename without a path
with AV_STARTPROG in any other way
! The Mask selection dialog could only display masks up to a maximum
length of 30 characters
! With interactive window positioning Thing now waits for the mouse
button to be released, because otherwise under N.AES it could happen
that the window vanished again immediately because the 'Closer' was
selected
! Under SingleTOS the VFAT entries are now filtered out also while
counting, copying and deleting files, to prevent incorrect results and
error messages
+ New Window 1 option 'Do not use HotCloser under MagiC'
! If an already existing file was skipped over during Copy/Move then
under MagiC and MiNT it could not be deleted subsequently, because it
was not closed by Thing
! The standard icons "FILE", "APPL", "GROUP" and "FOLDER" in ICONS.INF
can now be assigned the mask '*' in order to be able to define the
colour and character for the text and mini-icon display mode
! If no colour is defined for an icon assignment, Thing now uses the
colour of the associated standard icon
+ New application option 'Parameters: Pass always'
! Thing now always creates the ARGV environment itself, as neither
MultiTOS nor N.AES or MagiC can handle spaces in filenames correctly
! ARGV is used automatically as soon as a filename to be passed in a
command line would have to be 'quoted'
+ Placeholders can be used now in the parameters line for installed
applications
+ New option 'Parameters: Pass also with Drag&Drop' for group files; this
results in an extension of the group file format
! In the 'New object' dialog, the path for groups will only be taken as
that of the Thing directory if no directory window was topped at the
time of the call. Otherwise the path of the window will be taken
! Drag&Drop attempts to the trashcan or the printer are now answered
correctly with DD_TRASH or DD_PRINTER respectively (the clipboard is
handled by Thing itself)
+ If the Alternate key is pressed while selecting 'Show Info...' about
individual desktop or group objects, one obtains the information about
the object referenced (i.e. the folder or the file), not about the
desktopicon itself
! The Unix attributes for folders could be copied wrongly in certain
situations
+ The datestamps of folders are now also included in copies, if possible
(this works also with TOS file systems under MagiC, for instance)
+ New option 'Only for 8+3 file systems' for 'Use Kobold...'
+ The sorting, appearance (text/icons/mini-icons) and the file mask of a
directory window can now be saved permanently with the new menu entry
'Save Display Options'. For this a file 'thing.idx' is created in the
relevant directory, which one can simple delete again if no longer
required
! Some changes and optimisations, which resulted in the Thing binary
file being reduced in size despite the extensions (many thanks on this
occasion to Dirk Klemmt, who made a large -- if not even the greatest --
contribution to this)
! The memory used by read directory entries has been reduced
+ New options 'Case-sensitive sorting in directory windows' and 'Case-
sensitive auto-locator'
! The sort order can now be set individually for each directory window
+ New 'Apply' button in the selection subdialog for the background image,
so that one may experiment a bit until one has chosen the correct
picture without having to keep on opening the dialog anew constantly
+ New application option 'Compare full pathnames'
+ Context menus
+ New application option 'Memory limit' for a Multi-TOS compatible
restriction of the amount of memory made available to a program. Works
also from MagiC 4 onwards
+ The configuration can be saved automatically on program termination
with the new 'Auto-save Config' menu entry
Changes in Version 1.21 (existed only as N.Thing)! Test for True-Color displays improved again
! With 32 bit colour-depths Thing wrongly assumed 0 colours present, which
affected groups and all (F)TEXT objects in dialogs
! Drag&Drop to applications lying at the bottom edge of a directory window
work once again
! Root directories could be read incorrectly in some circumstances.
Unfortunately this still happens, though not to me, of course ...
! When sorting by extension, the sort was made on the part of the filename
that followed the first point. Now it is, correctly, for the part after
the last point
! Workaround for bug in NOVA-VDI in True-Color
! The unregistered version crashed sometimes after the opening alert was
confirmed
! For some stupid reason MagiC sends two identical WM_MOVED messages when
moving hidden windows back to their former position on-screen, which is
why group windows after this were marked as 'altered'
Changes in Version 1.20(I have not listed individually changes in the unpublished intermediate
versions, but included them all together here; furthermore the order is
fairly arbitrary).! The cursor called with Insert now appears above the first visible
object in the window and no longer above the first of the whole window
! For partitions and Copy operations of more than 999,999,999 bytes the
size is now output correctly, so that crashes no longer occur in such
cases
! The 'Program' page of 'File' > 'Show Info...' no longer has a duplicated
keyboard shortcut
! When scrolling through the list of installed applications the Delete
button is no longer released accidentally
! After reading the old (pre-1.09) colour information file this will now
be closed again
! AV_COPYFILE now works even if the confirmation of Copy operations is
switched off
! The font list (for the popups) is now sorted without respect to case
+ The keys Page Up , Page Down and End on Mac keyboards are now
evaluated. Unfortunately this does not work with MagiC PC, since this
does not return the usual VDI scan codes -- but the key assignments
of MagiC PC are in some ways a pain anyway, in my opinion
! Coloured mini-icons now also work in group windows
! Folders for which a large but no small icon exists will now use the
standard coloured folder icon, if it is present
! 'Run in Console window, if necessary' is now also part of the
Configuration options of the default application
+ New menu entry 'Font Selector...'
! The x-bit of group entries that are present on VFAT partitions is ignored
now
! An iconified directory window will no longer be (erroneously) restored
if 'Automatically fit window in X/Y direction' is active and a program
is terminated
! For automatic window fitting the upper left corner position of the window
is retained, if possible
! No more crashes if one drags the drive icons into a directory
! All tests whether a file of a directory exists (e.g. the clipboard
directory) are now made first with Fxattr()
! With the 'Use current selection' option for applications installed with
Alternate -shortcuts the selected drives will also be passed now
! If AV_FILEINFO is called up for a root directory then the drive info
will appear now, in place of information about all the files and folders
on the drive
! Assignment of function keys now works also in the 'Show Info...' dialog
for icons on the desktop
! Coloured icons in Alice-windows, better search for a matching icon
! The mouse click for quitting 'Info' dialogs is now no longer evaluated
twice if the menu entry was selected with the mouse
+ Workaround for crashes under MagiC Mac in connection with the SCSI-
driver by Steffen Engel (whose cause however remains unknown)
! Corrections in calculating the icon width when loading RSC files, which
removes crashes when starting Thing while using some graphics card
drivers
! Mxalloc() is now only called with memory protection flags if Sysconf()
is present. This has removed the crashes that arose when using TOS 3.0x
or TOS 4.0x together with Geneva without MiNT
! The iconifier is no longer created only with MagiC and AES > 4.00, but
when it is actually present according to appl_getinfo(). It is not added
on principle because otherwise TOS 4.01 displays tool bars that may have
been planned for this version, but were neither implemented nor removed
in the final issue
+ Exclusive file masks (~*.txt -> all files that do not match *.txt)
+ Thing can now -- with small restrictions -- also be unloaded (overlay
mode) under Multitasking
! Single-mode applications now always receive the correct start directory
! CHGRES and SHUTDOWN under MagiC are now started as an overlay and no
longer as Single mode applications
! Group files are now roughly checked for correctness, so that an
accidental opening of a file that also has a .grp extension should no
longer lead to a crash
! THING.RSC has been split up into THING.RSC and THINGTXT.RSC, as the 64 kB
limit for RSCs would have been exceeded
! Quoting also for Kobold-jobs, which can be prevented by setting Bit 1 in
the value following 'OKBD' in THING.INF
+ Thing sends SC_CHANGED each time it writes to the clipboard
! The autostart-capability of MagiC Mac and MagiC PC now also works with
Thing
+ Workaround for a bug in form_center() with active MultiDialog that
caused incorrect positioning of selected icons on the desktop
! When dragging many files to the desktop these are now more sensibly
placed
! Files that do not have a known program extension can now be installed
like a correct application when the x-bit is set
! If $HOME/defaults/Thing.cnf (written like that for case-sensitive
file systems) exists, Thing will look for and save the configuration
there
! Noticeable speed-up when loading ICONS.RSC in more than 16 colours
! TrueColor displays (important for the colour icons) are now recognised
more reliably. Unfortunately this does not work with STEmulator while
using Windows-GDI, as in that case either vr_trnfm() or vrt_cpyfm() do
not work correctly
! 'One-off' bug while drawing a tiled background removed
! The 'File for icon not found' alert now contains a Cancel button
! If the automatic saving of a group has misfired, the automation is
switched off (becauses there really are CD-ROMS on which group files
with active automatic saving are stored ...)
! If a group window is to be closed a safety query appears if there are
still unsaved changes
+ Thing now evaluates $SDMASTER for the Shutdown program and $RSMASTER for
the resolution changing program. If $RSMASTER is present then the
'Change Resolution...' menu entry is also available under other operating
systems than MagiC
! When adapting long names to 8+3 systems space characters are converted
to underscores
! No more crashes if one uses 'Automatically fit windows' under Single-TOS
and opens more than one window without WINX being installed
! $HOME may now also have Unix path separators
! Window updates following copying or deleting, or as a reaction to
SH_WDRAW, now longer go by the drive letter, if possible, but by the
device number. In this way U:\a\ will also be updated if one has copied
something to A:\
! Symbolic links whose destination does not exist are now displayed but
greyed out
! The dialog for renaming files or folders no longer allows an empty
name line
! Source and destination files may no longer be identical in the renaming
dialog
! With automatic window fitting it could happen that the window exceeded
the total screen width, although this was not necessary
! With automatic window fitting some situations could cause double window
updates
! No more crashes/pixel errors when scrolling a partly-visible dialog list
+ New logo for Thing, optionally also in colour
! The slider sizes could be wrong from a given window size up
+ Entries in text or mini-icon modes can now also be assigned a colour in
ICONS.INF
+ Directory and group windows can now also have a patterned background
+ Optional interactive window positioning if insufficient room is
available on the desktop
+ Optional automatic window positioning with specified variable separation
from the screen edge and from other windows
! 'Automatically fit windows' split up into 'Automatically fit windows in
X-direction' and 'Automatically fit windows in Y-direction'
+ New page in the 'Configuration' dialog for the additional window options
+ Files can now be copied or moved just like text in a text editor with
^C/^X and ^V
! Group colours are saved separately for < and >= 16 colours
+ New group option 'Determine attributes'
+ New group option 'Close group automatically after opening group'
+ New group option 'Parent object'
+ Eject media (via GEMDOS and XHDI)
! Support for space characters in filenames for all operations. Quoting is
adhered to strictly, i.e. that's_a_file will be passed like that as it
does not contain a space character and the quote character is not placed
at the start of the name
+ On file systems with user- and group-IDs for files and directories these
are now displayed with the other attributes and can be altered in the
'Info' dialog
+ The 'Info' dialog can now also show the time of the last status change
or the last access if the file system makes these details available
! 'Ask before running or installing accessories as programs' now also
refers to subsequent installations under suitable operating systems
+ Creation of symbolic links (either via Drag&Drop or via 'File > New...')
! When deleting symbolic links to directories, only the link is deleted
now and no longer the directory itself
+ For copying one can now choose whether symbolic links as such, or their
destination should be copied
+ Automatic scrolling of window contents if one reaches the top or bottom
window edge during Drag&Drop
+ Complete 3D-look in more than 16 colours (special thanks to Dirk Klemmt)
- No more 3D buttons in less than 16 colours
! New keys and key routines
! In the unregistered version a reminder alert is now always shown at the
start that saved windows will not be opened. Unlike most other such
'reminders', this alert can be closed also with Return
! The 'Shareware' reminder on the desktop no longer appears in large
letters at a fixed position, but at normal font size in red on a white
background in ten randomly chosen positions
! Reading of directories markedly faster, as sorting and specially pattern
matching have been speeded up appreciably
! Diverse small changes and improvements of details that I don't wish to
list explicitly here. After all the list is long enough already...
Changes in version 1.09(I have not listed individually changes in the unpublished intermediate
versions, but included them all together here):! Pdomain() and Psignal() now without special MiNT-query -> Thing finally
runs under MagiC (>= 4) in the MiNT-Domain
+ Corrected SIGTERM handler
! AV_STARTPRG again functions without parameters) -> SMU, ParaFin and
others can again start programs from Thing
+ A double left-click and hold mouse action simulates a single right mouse
click with hold -> MagiC Mac users with single-button mice can access
the real-time window scroll function
+ The resolution and colour-depth dependent info files are now combined
into one. Refer to 'Important notes'!
! Through translation with the MiNTLibs PL46, Thing now features reliable
and fully dynamic memory management -> No more problems in resolutions
greater than 16-bit
! No more corrupted info files if the TOS2GEM history buffer setting leads
to more than 32768 characters
! Colour icon routines now also load ORCS Resource files (though this
leads to restricted safety with defective files) and no longer fragment
the memory
! Under Single-TOS shel_write is now cancelled with "" instead of 0L (only
important to 'insiders')
+ Shortcut for 'File' > 'Shutdown'
! On changing a program file, after OK in the 'Info' dialog, Thing no
longer sets the archive bit in error
! If files cannot be renamed Thing now keeps the old names in the directory
window
! Esc no longer moves the vertical slider unnecessarily
! A display error in the 'Device Info' dialog removed
! The MagiC version number is now correctly reported -> MagiC 4.01 is no
longer reported as MagiC 3 version 4.01
+ Applications can be installed now for opening executable programs, e.g.
TTP-Start for *.TTP. See also 'Important notes'!
! No more errors in connection with applications with long paths that were
installed for Drag&Drop-capable files
! Group name in the 'New object' dialog is now always case-sensitive
! No more false icons with new group icons on the desktop
! Progress bar during Copy/Move file operations now functions correctly
even with large amounts of data
+ Files can be displayed using Control + double-click, also works in
group windows
! Programs from groups can now be started even if no applications have
been installed.
! No more hangs using Kobold under MultiTOS/N.AES, Kobold will, where
required, be started in parallel under these systems. I'd like to
apologise openly here to Hans-Jürgen Richstein for the inconvenience
this has caused him
+ Kobold handling generally improved: A Kobold already active before a job
will no longer be ended or its window will no longer be closed
! Under Single-TOS Kobold now finds its INF file if it's started in
parallel
+ Users of Kobold 2 now have the possibility to use this version without
problems with Thing -- refer to Kobold-tipIf you have to continue using Kobold 2, change the
line 'OKBD 0' to 'OKBD 1' in THING.INF with a text
editor (or insert it if it's not present).
Thing will then (hopefully) use Kobold-2 compatible
jobs. This setting isn't lost on saving THING.INF.
.
+ Thing now uses -- where available -- Dreadlabel()/Dwritelabel() to
Read/Write drive names, and also allows long labels
! 'Show Info...' dialog now correctly reports additional drives included in
the system, e.g. RAMdisks
! The TOS attributes are correctly reported again
+ The MiNT attributes are now evaluated and used on non 8+3 file systems.
If the attributes are not available under the file system they are
naturally not evaluated
! MiNT attributes display for directories corrected
! 'Next' and 'Cancel' now function in the 'Device Info' dialog and are
also keyboard selectable
+ Thing now reports if it cannot find its resource file (previously
Thing immediately exited)
! Win95 additional folder entries under system without VFAT-XFS are no
longer displayed
! The last character using the the auto-locator is now case-insensitive
! The maximum line length can no longer be exceeding using Shift + click
in the 'Mask' dialog
! The auto-locator in the directory 'Mask' dialog is case-insensitive
! Sorting and auto-locator now really case-insensitive (with the
exception of Umlauts -- which should be avoided as filenames anyway
! Directory 'Mask' dialog no longer asymmetrical
! No more crashes redrawing directory windows in which a read error alert
is active; only redraw errors remain, which cannot be avoided easily
+ Default-application with settings for un-installed programs
! Thing no longer displays its menu bar unnecessarily
+ Switching to another application already running under MagiC now tops
the windows in the correct sequence
+ Switching to another parallel application under N.AES possible
! When copying from a file system without MiNT-attributes these are set in
the destination directory with the help the file extension (really only
concerns the x-bit)
+ MiNT-attributes now also copied with folders
! Thing always searches with appl_find() for application names in UPPER
case
! Automatic saving of groups does not apply if their windows are (un)hidden
with MagiC or N.AES
+ Under MagiC and N.AES Thing can now be topped by clicking on any
empty place on the desktop
! Correct comparison of the minimum Copy size for Kobold even when moving
more than 64Mb data
! No more redrawing all directory window if Kobold is aborted
! On reloading its settings Thing now updates the path to the clipboard if
necessary
! Thing now sets the clipboard path correctly -- with a trailing backslash
-> Pure Pascal can also use the clipboard with Thing as the desktop
+ N.AES is now correctly reported as that with its version number
+ MagiC PC is recognised
! A double-click and hold mouse action on opening an object no longer
causes problems
! Memory management of directory windows changed -> the largest free
memory block is no longer reduced by some 100Kb for each new open window
! AV-buffer doubled to 8 kB
! Thing sends itself a SH_WDRAW message after an AV_FILEINFO message
(there should be a still more elegant solution)
! If a directory contains filenames too long for Thing (more than 32
characters) the Read operation is completed before displaying a
suitable alert
+ On copying the destination file is deleted if a read error is encountered
! No more errors using Dreaddir() instead of Dxreaddir() in certain
situations
+ THING.INF can be manually edited adding an option NICE 0 to turn off
the Thing menu nicelines
! Nicelines more friendly to N.AES programmed
! No complete abort any more if a directory contains too many entries
+ Maximum number of files per directory increased to 8192. The display
from a given (large) number on is only correct with a multi-column text
display using a small font
+ Wildcard abilities lean toward Unix compatibility, and extended. Refer
also to 'Important notes'
! On writing filenames to the clipboard Unix line endings are no longer
used
+ Workaround for current version of ThingImg
! Superfluous quering of former standard icons removed
+ Background images (again) via external 'ThingImg' module
+ The Application overview dialog now displays 'Is used to Open:' and
'Is used to Show:' lists
+ Coloured mini-icons now supported
! Moving of files only allowed if the source and destination directories
are located on the same physical drive
+ In the 'Info about File/Folder' dialog Thing now stores which card index
page was used last
+ If no suitable info file for the current resolution is located, Thing
searches for the next smaller suitable alternative, where resolution
takes preference over colour-depth. If a suitable file is found, using
'Save Configuration' offers the chance to save to this file again
+ On saving the configuration another directory can be selected
+ Resolution change under MagiC (>=4) possible as well
+ Accessories can be started under MagiC and all other AES versions which
support this feature (MultiTOS, N.AES, Geneva, ...)
Changes in version 1.01+ Display/editing of the extended MiNT-attributes for folders built-in
+ TOS/MiNT-attributes display dependent on the existing file system
(8+3 and case-sensitivity)
+ 'Auto-locator'in the Application list built-in
! 'Auto-locator' and sorting in directories now case-insensitive
! Problems with icon assignment in long group entries removed
! All AV-Messages are now checked for a null-pointer and the affected
messages ignored. Consequently Thing should no longer crash on receiving
'empty' VA_STARTs etc
! 'Tools' menu rebuilt, safer!
! Routine to display disabled menu titles for N.AES rebuilt
This should no longer require an explicit workaround in N.AES...
! Various dialogs redesigned
! Shareware protection encyphered and scattered, as the old key was hacked.
Further protection enhancements planned ;-)
- Background image support suspended
