Message-Id: From: nico@augfl.be (Nico Francois) (CSAA) To: announce@megalith.miami.fl.us Subject: PowerSnap 2.2 Status: RO TITLE PowerSnap RELEASE 2.2 AUTHOR Nico Francois nico@augfl.be SHORT Snap and paste anywhere using the mouse. DESCRIPTION PowerSnap is a utility that allows you to use the mouse to mark characters anywhere on the screen and paste them somewhere else, like in the CLI or in a string gadget. PowerSnap will check what font is used in the window you snap from and will look for the position of the characters automatically. It recognizes all non proportional fonts of up to 24 pixels wide and of any height so this should cover most fonts used. Snapping and pasting text is done using the mouse, making PowerSnap fast and easy to use. NEW FEATURES o PowerSnap has been fully localized and has been made completely font-sensitive. o New 'Save Settings' menu item. Allows you to save the current settings to PowerSnap's icon. o Made PowerSnap more RTG friendly. Snapping should now work under the Workbench emulation of the Piccolo and EGS Spectrum graphic cards (not tested). o Some programs use an extra pixel of spacing between their text lines. PowerSnap will try to sniff this out and will try to adjust itself to this. o When asked to quit PowerSnap will now check the return code from SetFunction() when removing its Intuition patches, rather than directly peeking into the library's jump table. Should work perfectly with SetMan now. o Improved speed of text pasting. o New command line switch and tooltype: CLIPUNIT. o Due to very popular demand I added crawling ants to PowerSnap. o PowerSnap now uses iffparse.library for the clipboard I/O. o Removed all (but one) Intuition patches and implemented a new anti-deadlock mechanism. Snapping will be aborted when a deadlock occurs (for example a program opening a window while you are snapping). o Some bugs fixed. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS AmigaOS Release 2.04 (V37+) or higher.
