History of DocMa

(NEW) new feature    (IMP) improved feature     (BUG) removed bug


V1.4 (21.10.97)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(BUG) DocMa didn`t work on ECS machines! Sorry I couldn`t test it,
because I have no flicker fixer (pay the registration fee and I will by
one :-) ) and my Sony starts with 31 kHz. But why the hell does the
original graphics routine clear the source pixel-array >-(


V1.3 (19.10.97)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(NEW) 16 Bit thumbnails. Nearly the same quality as 24 Bit thumbnails
but up to 40 % smaller thumbnail files after saving.

(NEW) New Menu "Icons" with menuitem "Delete thumbnail files" to delete
the thumbnail file drawer of the current directory. This have to be done
to calculate the new 16 bit thumbnails, if there are already the big 24
bit thumbnail files.

(IMP) Directory scanning speed increased. A maximum number of icons to be
scanned before displaying them can be set.

(IMP) Now the selected icons can also be recognized by the inverted name.

(IMP) During loading or updating a drawer there will appear a file
counter.

(IMP) "Update" checks now also the file dates. So DocMa will calculate a
new thumbnail, if you had edited the picture file.

(BUG) Multiselecting icons and doubleclicking on an already selected icon
hadn`t the wanted effect.



V1.2 (17.10.96)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(NEW) Added device space information textfield to DocMa window.

(IMP) GREAT improvement of input handling! Doubleclicks are no problem
anymore.

(IMP) Added error messages if some required files are missing.

(IMP) Improved "block mode" for icon arrangement.

(BUG) Removed dirty bug which sometimes deletes the contents of the
".docma" drawer of the actual directory, so one had to call "update"
again the next time the directory was loaded.



V1.1 (13.10.96)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(NEW) CyberGraphX, Picture Datatype V43 support. Choice between
true-color and 256 colors thumbnails.

(NEW) Moving a file now also moves the date and the protection bits.

(NEW) Nicer(?) looking of iconlist appearance. Improved the calculation
of the icon positions.

(NEW) Support of XPK library (for thumbnail saving/loading).

(BUG) Changing the sort mode of the icons sometimes caused a guru.



V1.0 (19.07.96)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

First release
