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 0.3beta9 -------------------------------------- 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 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 listview for loading documents fast. o Gadgets in window for quick access to features. o File loading uses AsyncIO. o Can load multiple files. o Help available by pressing the help key. o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world. o Uses ReqTools library. Here are the recent features ---------------------------- o Maximum width and height of scrolling reduced from width of window to maximum width and height of text. o Uses extra copy of rastport for BACKGROUND_PEN so I don't have to keep switching back and forth. o Added '%s' keyword for the editor string. o Fixed bug in which search menu options would reset after the window is reopened even if the options themselves hadn't changed. o Added prefs for the docs file, so the EvenMore docs can be loaded when you press the help key. o Removed direction toggle item from search menu and added 'Find previous' item so that you can change the search direction with less hassle. o Go to screen listviews can now be double clicked. o Added Next and Previous buttons to the search requester. o Removed word, pattern and case senitivity toggle items from the search menu and replaced the Match requester with a GUI with these functions in it. o Removed quickload menu items and replaced them with a listview requester. o Added Load new button to the quickload GUI. o Removed quickload file limit from preference file, but not from icon yet. o Added Help menu item in Project menu. o Removed Occurance requester and added an Occurance search button into the search GUI. o Search requester will not disappear after you have searched for a word, or the occurance of a word. I had to remove the smooth scrolling in searches so that EvenMore would be able to scroll to the word while the window is inactive. o Removed the Find horizontal menu item and added a Find horizontal gadget to the search GUI. o Added preferences and a gadget to the search GUI to enable or disable the search results requester from appearing. o Hopefully fixed bug in which EvenMore would go into a continuous loop trying to open the system default font if opening the system default font failed. o Fixed bug in which the text area wasn't calculated properly due to mix up with text offset values. o Replaced Text offset menu items with a GUI. o Renamed Text offset window to Window preferences and moved the smooth scrolling and bevel border menu items into the window. o I was using the page overlap preferences for horizontal scrolling, which would cause problems as this is calculated according to how many lines are in the window, and not how many columns, so I removed it from the horizontal scrolling. o Added Path preference GUI and menu item. o Removed Iconify on close menu item, and added an Iconify preference GUI and menu item. o Merged preference GUIs into one GUI using the EasyGUI tabs plugin. o Removed error suppression. It was silly :). o Added Add and Remove buttons to the quick load GUI. o Added two file requester gadgets to the path strings in the preferences. o Added Save and Use preference gadgets to the preferences GUI. o Added new preferences for making bevel borders recessed, adding bevel borders around the gadgets, and setting the number of pixels between the bevel borders, the gadgets and the window edge. o No longer crashes when there are no lines displayable in the window. 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.
