Updates from V1.02 to V1.02a ============================ The sending of a message to the user online was not producing the 'from' name correctly (not at-all to be honest) has just left you a message in the Amiga Echo etc.. This has been fixed.... Colour Palette has been added which is something that a lot of you have been asking for. You can now save your palette data with the 'config save' option as per-normal and it will be loaded as per-normal. Reset-Palette has been added - This is basicly the defaults for the palette as I see them. If you make a 'bodgey' job of your new palette then rather than deleting the whole config and starting from scratch this has been added to save you the time and trouble. The date and time format was not storing in xx:xx:xx when numbers lower than 10 where being used. (i.e 12:3:2 rather than 12:03:02) etc.. Same goes for the date. The default colour 'grey' background has been 'darkend' just a smidge. Updates from V1.01 to V1.02 ============================ When in any of the 'Read-New' modes you will get the standard - messages to be read in the right hand side - But now only message bases that DO have some new messages will be displayed. This means that if you are in the 'NON NEW' modes you will get the entire list - as opposed to a 'cut-down new list' Bigger Header Width Display: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was something that I have only just got round to adding. It was quite obvious that the information inside the 'header' displays was just lacking something - The Date! - I like to know when a message was read and am sure you do as-well (better had! :-)) - Anyway, a font has been included called 'Elysium' and should be placed in your logical FONTS: dir. -- Script for the copy of the font ---- makedir fonts:Elysium copy 8 fonts:Elysium/ copy Elysium.font fonts: --------------------------------------- Two new gadgets : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Head-New .............. Headers New Display R2-High ............... Reset to High. The first one is a combination of the 'Headers' and 'ReadNew' Gadgets of present. It will start displaying the messages in 'header' format from the 'last' message read from that given base. This is one of the most handy options if you do not wish to look through the entire message (given that sometimes you have over 150 new messages per base) The latter one : Sometimes you will note that you do not read some messages in (say) the 'Comms Uk' - Well if that is the case you will notice that you get around '70' messages per-day and each day that you fail to read them the 'number left to read' goes up! - To solve this problem you can not 'force' a reset of the given base. What this will do exactly is simply tell the system that you have read all the messages in that base and you only wish to know about it when new messages come in. Two new menu items: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Header Mode ... Target & Buil sub-menus. Base Mode ..... Reverse Header ReadNew HeaderNew sub-menus. Header Mode ~~~~~~~~~~~ Taking the first menu 'Header Mode' - you should set either of the two according to your taste. 'Target' means that when you first LOAD ElyCon when you are inside the 'header display sections' you will be defaulted to 'Target Mode' - It is quite obvious that the latter one will default you to 'Build' mode. Base Mode ~~~~~~~~~ This is another preference and will auto-set the way you wish to default to your mail readings. If you wish to start in 'Reverse Header' mode or simply wish to default to 'ReadNew' then select the correct one and save your preferences. Note : The above menu-items are only used when 'saving the config' or 'loading the config' - If you set-them while inside the program then do not expect them to reflect on any changes to the actual use of the program. They are used in the selection of the DEFAULTS upon LOADING! If you change them once loaded (through normal use via the gadgets) then that is quite fine but the result will not be rendered in the menu-display as they are (once again) only used for the 'startup' of ElyCon. Updates from V1.00 to V1.01 ============================ Misc Menu : View-Log. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Selecting this option from the Misc menu will bring up a requester asking you to chose the log that you wish to view. Upon selecting the correct log it will then be loaded in and displayed. You must, however, chose your own text-viewer that you wish to use in order for the log to be displayed. I would recommend a 'text-editor' (Comercial one) that has a fair amount of speed in the scroll. Also one that will either open up within a custom-screen and/or will take you to the screen that it has been opend on. Two of the best are : TTX (Turbo-Text) CED (Cygnus-Editor) You will also need to make the editor 'sticky.' In order to do so within CED you would use '-sticky' and within TTX you would use 'wait'. A new file needs to be created in the config/ directory. It is called 'TextViewer.cfg' and contains one single line of text that points to your chosen text viewer. ---- example -------- ttx (NO 'wait' or '-sticky' as we are not writing messages!) ---- end of example - Misc Menu : Load Text. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This option is quite handy - More often than not you will be wishing to load in a text file. Be it source-code or some menu-files that need editing. Rather than delve into the CLI to call your editor (or bring it back to life ala HOTKEY) this option will bring up a file-requester. You then select the file that you wish to edit and then your selected editor is called with the selected text-file. When you are using this you will not wish to have the editor in either 'sticky' or 'wait' mode (depending on your editor) - That being the case you now have another config file to install. This is much the same as before but you do not add any 'wait' or '-sticky' command. Config/Ed_No_Wait.CFG --------------------- format of Ed_No_Wait.Cfg -------------- ttx (Note the NO-USE of the WAIT command!) --------------------------------------------------------------
