New in Version 1.5 The Prompt for Directory option was added, letting you choose the directory to uncompress to after you select the files. I switched to using the Heat and Serve compiler, which hopefully has fixed a couple of problems that I was having, and made the program a little smaller in the process. Bugs when using UIS (my fault) have been fixed as have problems with it going to the B drive on certain systems (I hope...) New in Version 1.4 Most notably, the options 'Continue until cancel' and 'Quit after auto-run' have been moved to a seperate dialog box. To get to these click on the options button in the Setup box. The reason for this change is that I added three new options, and needed more room. The first new option is 'Remember Directories'. If this is set the program will keep track of the last directory you went to to select a file and start there the next time. If it is not set it will go to the 'Source' directory (another new feature), and if that isn't set, to the directory expando.prg is in. The second option is 'Auto-create folders'. With this set, Expand-o-matic will create a new folder with the same name as the file you are expanding, less the extension, and uncompress the files into there. This folder will be made in the directory specified in 'Destination', or, if that isn't set, in the folder where expando.prg is. The third new option is 'Use File Directory'. If you set this option, Expand-o-matic will uncompress things to the same directory that the archive file is in (or a folder created in that directory, if 'Auto-create Folders' is set. Wildcards: Expand-o-matic now accepts wildcards for filenames. If you want to uncompress every file in a directory you can now simply enter '*.*' as the filename in the file selector, or, if you're running it as a .ttp, enter 'drive:\path\*.*' on the command line. It will also accept '*.arc', etc. to do all files of one type. The 'Command' field has been expanded to 10 characters. I think this should be enough for most archivers, but if you run across one that needs more send me a note. It's easy enough to change, but I'm begining to run out of room in the dialog box :) 'Source': I added a 'Source' directory as well. This is the directory it will go to with the file selector when you select 'Expand'. That way, if you always download your files to one folder, just set the source the same way that you do the 'Destination'. One last change was to the format of the config file. First, the 'Source' is added at the end. Second, I put all the options into one integer, rather than constantly adding another line with a 1 or 0 for each one. The first bit of the integer is for 'Continue until Cancel', the second for 'Quit after Auto-run', third for 'Remember Directories' and the forth for 'Auto-create Folders'. Thus, in my config I have 'Quit' and 'Create' on, meaning bits 2 and 4 are set, and that the integer is 10. Oh yes, I also included a .NIC file containing the goofy icon I use for expando.prg in NeoDesk. Changes from V1.3: Fixed a bug in the wildcard workings. They had stopped working completely, but should be fine now. Changes from V1.2: Fixed problem of mouse staying as the 'busy bee', which, depending on your setup, it was prone to do. Changed it so that you can enter upper or lower case letters for the .EXT. Fixed bug with the Command dialog box which caused it to go to the end of the 'blank' entries. Changed the name of the .RSC file. It now reflects the current version number. The resource file has changed a couple of times, so I wanted to make sure that it would only accept the correct one. Spaces in commands are now saved.
