Message-Id: From: nico@augfl.be (Nico Francois) (CSAA) To: announce@megalith.miami.fl.us Subject: ToolsDaemon 2.1a Status: RO TITLE ToolsDaemon RELEASE 2.1a AUTHOR Nico Francois nico@augfl.be SHORT Add menus and submenus to WB menu strip. DESCRIPTION ToolsDaemon allows you to run programs simply by selecting a menu item from the menu strip of Workbench 2.0 or higher. Shell and Workbench programs are supported, including arguments and tool types for both of these. The menu items can be arranged in several menus, with sub-items and keyboard shortcuts. ToolsPrefs is designed as a preferences editor for the ToolsDaemon menus. It features a font-sensitive localized GadTools front-end and supports the 2.0 AppWindow feature. This means it allows you to drag programs into its window and they will be automatically added to the menu items list. ToolsDaemon is the background program that will launch the tools you select from the menu strip. It is meant to be dragged into the WbStartup drawer so it will automatically be launched on startup. NEW FEATURES o Really fixed the deadlock problem I fixed in ToolsDaemon 2.1 :-) If you managed to select *the* *first* menu item a split second after activating a Workbench window ToolsDaemon would still hang. The same problem occured on machines running TWA and when picking the first item just after quitting Directory Opus. o ToolsPrefs will now set its current directory to PROGDIR:. o ToolsPrefs window is now simple refresh and uses the Kickstart 3.0 or higher zoom-in-place feature. o Dropping a "fake" icon (Show All Files) in the ToolsPrefs window will now automatically enter the program as a CLI command. o There was a problem with ToolsDaemon on Workbench 2.0. ToolsDaemon would abort silently if it was the first Commodity that was run (probably due to a bug in commodities.library V37; V38 and higher worked fine). This is fixed now. o Updated icons to Workbench 3 look :-) o Some new catalogs included. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AmigaOS Release 2.04 (V37+) or higher.
