This is a BETA release of an yet to come DiskMaster II release version! Use it on your own risk, some things may react a bit strange like causing enforcer-hits (reports welcome). Greetings - Rudolph Changes since the last official release version: 2.5b1 (99-09-11) 61760 Bytes - Added an alias for 'Batch' - 'LoadConfig' Suggested by Jeff Grimmet - Bugfix: terminating an ARex-Script while a requester was open lead to a deadlock - thanks for reporting to Nils Goers! - Bugfix: DM2 now refuses to terminate itself if there are still DM2-launched ARexx-Scripts running. - Bugfix: The path-string is now beeing interpreted by DOS during init of the window - thanks for reporting to Jeff Grimmett! - Bugfix: Swapping two windows did not swap their sort-type. Thanks for reporting to Fredrik Ismyren! - Bugfix: calling 'Root' twice didn`t showed the DEV/VOL/ASN list. Thanks for reporting to Fredrik Ismyren! 2.5b2 (99-10-04) 61896 Bytes - Added pagewise horizontal jumping by pressing shift/cursor. Thanks for reminding me to Fredrik Ismyren! - Asl.library is no longer needed to start DM2! DM2 will now start from a disk having nothing else on it than the executable itself - without Font-/Screenmode-/Color- requester though. - Limited the reader to 256K Suggested by Dirk Teunis - General Speed-Up by eliminating some function-calls that have been called for every single command. - Bugfix: Moving to write-protected media only resulted in deleting the files - thanks for reporting to Jody Tierney ! - Bugfix: Moving a file "x" to a dir "y" that contained a sub-dir also called "x" only resulted in deleting the file "x". Thanks for reporting to Bryan K. Williams ! - Bugfix: "Move %s %d RENAME" only worked between different volumes. Thanks for reporting to Jody Tierney! - Changed the main-loop once again: The main-title with the clock gets updated now every second (more or less). As well as the drawers are scanned in this interval. 2.5b3 (99-10-17) 62124 Bytes - Bugfix: there was a tricky hidden and ancient bug in the drawer-double-click handling that trashed the bottom scroller-gadget of the destination-windwow under special conditions. Thanks to Fredrik Ismyren for reporting and the very detailed information on how to reproduce the bug! - Bugfix: Overseen when I did the speed-up, the dir-window now gets resortet when you are in sort-by-comment mode and modify a file`s comment. - When no active window is left, DM2 drops it`s refresh-rate from once every second to once every four seconds thus saving a few dozen computrons when not beeing used. - Bugfix: Annother speed-up side-effect was that 'SizeCheck' did not update the dir-window properly anymore. Thanks for reporting to Fredrik Ismyren! - Modified the main-loop once again. The title-screen now is updated only once in a minute. - Cut-off the seconds from the clock. 2.5b4 (00-01-29) 62528 Bytes - Flagged out some dead code. - Bugfix: created an Enforcer-Hit when fixing "Move %s RENAME". Thanks for reporting to Xavier Messersmith - DM2 displays the free space on a volume now as B / K / M thus supporting drives beyond 2gigs free. Should work fine with up to 2Tera-Bytes. - Rewritten 'Check' - shouldn`t also have a problem with large drives anymore. - 36 Bytes more and the added sizes of all selected files are also displayed in 'new style'. - Added an exception-handling for zero-sizes as "0 B" looks somewhat odd. - Added new command 'Last' that opens a requester with the last message shown in the title-bar. Suggested by Fredrik Ismyren. - Bugfix: 'Archive' wasn`t updating the file-windows since 2.5b2 Reported first by Michael M. Rye - thanks! - Added support for the 'Del'-Key to 'AddKeyCmd'. The compare-strings are 'del' and 'DEL' for the 'Del'-Key beeing pressed without or together with a 'Shift'-Key.
