So I decided to write my own viewer that would be font-sensitive, and blend in with all your other nice patches, as so not to spoil the look and feel of your Workbench. IMHO, even though EvenMore isn't as powerful as the rest, it still looks far nicer than the competition, and is increasing in functionality at every release. Here are its main features -------------------------- o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents. o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes opening files easy. Not only can you drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear! o Totally font sensitive. o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring settings. o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them. o Can create it's own public screen to run on. o ARexx port for remote control. o Supports the numeric keypad, mouse and wheel mouse movement. o Very clean and smooth scrolling. o String and pattern finding functions with search highlighting, including file and directory search. o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document. o Quick load listview for opening documents fast. o Configurable GUI for quick access to features. o File loading uses AsyncIO for speed. o Can open multiple files. Up to 1000 files can be stored in memory. o Help available by pressing the help key. o Gadget help bubbles. o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs. o Supports ANSI Escape code sequences (including custom colour sequences) o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world. o Can use Asl or ReqTools library for filerequesters. o Option to save the file. o Send the file to an editor. o Print the file. o Conifurable information bar. o Execute commands or open a shell on the window. o XPK compression supported. o File history menu. o Locale support. o Clipboard support. o Supports plugin modules! (AmigaGuide, MSWord conversion) and more... Here are the recent features ---------------------------- o Filetypes plugin wasn't updated for new plugin format. This could possibly have caused errors. o Created a basic directory browsing plugin, dir2text.plugin. You can click on a directory or file on the screen to open. I had to make several changes to the executable to allow you to open a directory and not a file. o Added right to left text rendering for languages that read from right to left. Updated preference plugin to give this option in the Text page. o Tidied up highlighting and scrolling, including in the Right to left option. o Removed enforcer hit from plugin sort code. Thanks to Krister Skrtic for help on this. o Hopefully removed enforcer hits from plugins. The format of all the plugins was not uniform, and this may have caused problems. I downloaded the WinUAE that now includes enforcer, and this helped a lot in getting this fixed. I was also treating a NIL value as an object in the plugin code by mistake. o Removed enforcer hit from gadget info code. If you moved the mouse outside the window it would cause a hit. o Some plugins such as Guide2Text, MSWord2Text and others, were expecting wrong number of arguments from executable, causing enforcer hits. o Plugins assumed a file was opened, but with modifications to allow directory browsing, this was not the case. All plugins have been updated to fix this error. o Fixed bug in sort code for plugins and directory browser. I think it was sorting a node with no name attached. o Fixed bug. Was not freeing horizontal scroll gadget on window close. o Reworked exec list sorting code. This could have been causing a crash. o Fixed bug. Loading another configuration file would free gadget icons twice. There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs before you delete as soon as you set your eyes on it. All hints, tips, examples of code, etc., will be appreciated! ______________________________________________________________ [O|##Contacting#me#########################################|°|B] |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| : | Postal address: | :: | Chris Perver, __ __ | :: | 6, Gransha Road, / // / | :: | Bangor, / // / | :: | Co.
