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 0.50 ---------------------------------- o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents. o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes opening files easy. Not only can you drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear! o Totally font sensitive. o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring settings. o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them. o Can create it's own public screen to run on. o 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 with search hilighting. o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document. o Quick load listview for opening documents fast. o Configurable GUI for quick access to features. o File loading uses AsyncIO for speed. o Can open multiple files. o Help available by pressing the help key. o Gadget help bubbles. o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs. o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world. o Can use Asl or ReqTools library for filerequesters. o Can zoom text in or out. o Option to save the file. o Send the file to an editor. o Print the file. o Conifurable information bar. o Execute commands or open a shell on the window. o XPK compression supported. o File history menu. and more... Here are the recent features ---------------------------- o Renamed CONFIGFILE tooltype to PREFS. o Renamed Load to Open throughout all the preferences, etc, so I could make the P key print, and the L key find the last match. o XPK compression now supported in file loading. o Wrote XPK compression when saving the file. o Added preferences to the File page of the preference GUI for setting the XPK pack mode and efficiency when saving XPK files. o The progress window will now let you know if it is loading an XPK file. o Added a progress window for saving the file. o Moved XPK preferences to the new Compression preference page. o Added XPKPACKERS argument and preferences for having a list of XPK packers available. o Removed Copy, Up and Down gadgets from the Filetype page, as they are not necessary for that. o Drew preference icons and added gadget for changing the settings. o Replaced Add and Remove buttons in the Compression and File pages of the preference GUI with + and - buttons. o Merged RECESSBORDERS and LIGHTBORDERS keywords into BORDEROPTIONS keyword. o Renamed all PRINTER#? keywords to PRINT#?. o Added a History menu with a list of all the recent files loaded. Thanks to Ali Graham for the help. o Tidied up help file loading/unloading. Now the help buffer only needs to be parsed once, and from then on, the pointers to the help linelist and document linelist, etc are exchanged. o Moved font preferences into the Text preference page. o Removed the buttons in the Text preference page for selecting the system or screen font, as they weren't that useful. o Wrote preferences for using the Asl filerequester instead of ReqTools. o Deleted the text version of the docs, as it is becoming too time consuming to maintain both that and the guide file. o Now the last position of the Asl filerequester will be saved in the preference file. o The Shell window should now get a close gadget. 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#me#########################################|°|B] |ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| : | Postal address: | :: | Chris Perver, __ __ | :: | 6, Gransha Road, / // / | :: | Bangor, / // / | :: | Co.
