WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! ================================================================================ THIS IS A SHORT README FILE! READ THE DOCS FOR THE FULL INFO! THAT'S RIGHT! I SAID READ THE DOCS BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT DISTRIBUTING THIS ARCHIVE IN ANY FORM! I am sick of the ugly looking non-proportional text viewers. 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. Well I was sick of non-proportional text viewers until I made horizontal scrolling in this version. Now EvenMore doesn't support proportional fonts. But 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 the main features of 0.3beta8 -------------------------------------- o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents. o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes loading files easy. Not only can you drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear! o Totally font sensitive, and you can select which font to view the text in. o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring, and you can configure most of the settings while EvenMore is running too. o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them. o Developing ARexx port for remote control. o Supports the numeric keypad and mouse movement. o Very clean and smooth scrolling. o String and pattern finding functions. o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document. o Quick load menu for loading documents fast. o Gadgets in window for quick access to features. o File loading uses AsyncIO. o Can load multiple files. o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world. o Uses ReqTools library. Here are the recent features ---------------------------- o Uses AsyncIO file loading for speed. o No longer reloads icon every time you iconify. o Added prefs and a gadget for passing the file onto a text editor. o If the window is resized smaller than the width of all the gadgets, any gadgets that don't fit on the end will be removed, and the string gadget will expand to fill the gap. o Now checks properly to see if a path is a file or drawer to work out whether to open the file requester. o Partly fixed bug in which the window could be opened really small. o Added gadget and menu item for opening a new EvenMore and loading files. You can now also select multiple files from CLI, or icons when running from Workbench, or select multiple icons when iconified or menufied. o Fixed bug in which program would crash if a file failed to load due to running out of memory. o Silly me. I had removed the clearing of the top window border thinking I didn't need to clear it, when I did. o Added horizontal scrolling. o Removed proportional font support due to horizontal scrolling. o Removed printing of line/page/percent in the window due to horizontal scrolling. o Added prefs and menu item for a bevel border around the text. o Word searches now scroll horizontally to centre the word in the middle of the window. o Doubled the amount of quickload files. o Added prefs and menu item for scrolling horizontally in searches. o Renamed ARexx menu to Script menu, and added a DOS script execute menu item. o Added font style preferences. o A few optimizations... o A few other things not worth mentioning... 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#cHRISPi####################################|°|B] |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| : | Postal address: | :: | Chris Perver, __ __ | :: | 12, Orchardville Avenue, / // / | :: | Bangor, / // / | :: | Co.
