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 0.58 ---------------------------------- 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, mouse and wheel mouse movement. o Very clean and smooth scrolling. o String and pattern finding functions with search hilighting, including file and directory search. 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. Up to 1000 files can be stored in memory. o Help available by pressing the help key. o Gadget help bubbles. o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs. o Automatic conversion of AmigaGuide files to plain text. o Supports ANSI Escape code sequences! o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world. o Can use Asl or ReqTools library for filerequesters. 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. o Locale support. o Clipboard support. o Supports plugin modules! (AmigaGuide, MSWord conversion) and more... Here are the recent features ---------------------------- o Removed messy filetyping code. Created a plugin which allows filetyping, which can be easily changed using a textfile. o Created basic HTML2Text plugin. o Created a Linux manual to text conversion plugin for viewing .man files. o Updated all the plugins with the ability to specify a memory area to be allocated if the new file we are creating is larger than the original. This may be necessary for Troff files. Old plugins will not work with this new exe. o Thanks to Raul Silva for the português catalog! o Fixed a silly bug which stopped the Palette being saved properly on custom screens. o Updated HTML plugin with a few new commands, SCRIPT, STYLE, etc. o Created an Email plugin. Will read emails saved by Outlook express (with the .eml extension). Have yet to test an Amiga email. Works well, and will convert the HTML part of the email if available otherwise just text. o Adjusted the email plugin, should now open emails from YAM/Outlook Express or hopefully anything in mime format. o Wrote a FinalCopy/FinalWriter conversion plugin. o Russian catalog has been created thanks to Vitaliy Chepeleff. o Fixed a stupid bug where if you tried to launch EvenMore with a file in the current directory, an EvenMore already open would not pick up the file path. o Created a basic ProWrite conversion plugin. o Added a new status bar keyword, %pl will give the type of file being viewed by the plugins. o Created a basic depth gadget for the window in the borderless window. o Completely reworked GUI pen settings from the ground up. You can now specify colours for each of the individual parts of the window using sliders in the GUI/Border page in the preferences, and these will automatically get their own shades of that colour for any bevelled edges. Also this means no wrong colours when switching screens too :). o You can now double-click on a result in the listview from the search function and EvenMore will load that file and scroll to the row it was found on. o Hopefully fixed a nasty enforcer hit in the freeing of some gadgets (which were already freed) when the window closed. Thanks to Alfred Faust for reporting it :). o Thanks also to Alfred for creating a deutsch catalog for EvenMore! And he has included a handy script and template files for anyone wishing to compile catalogs of their own1 :) o EvenMore wouldn't make screen pens for custom screens sharable, so it wasn't able to allocate any! Also removed custom palette settings as hopefully we won't need them anymore. o You can now simply click the left mouse button and drag to hilight text! o Added 2 new icon sets, program and doc icons courtesy of Raul Silva. o Released the source of the plugins on the webpage. o As soon as you hilight text, it will be copied to the clipboard. o Scroller gadgets should now work more accurately (scrolling by 1 line in a 10000 lines document, or a percentage with anything over that) o Improved MSWord file recognition slightly, and wrote a basic MacWord plugin. Should load MacWord 4,5,6,2001 files. o Rewrote the Troff plugin, works better now but not perfect. o MSWord plugin should find the start of text better now (wouldn't load an XP file) o Wrote a basic Generic text plugin. If none of the other plugins can define the filetype, and there is binary text in it, this plugin will strip every line ending with a CR or LF and display it. This is a last resort plugin, so it may or may not work depending on the file content. o EvenMore will now support the new icon.library v44 for NewIcon and GlowIcons. o Created a new Wordwrap plugin. If no other plugins have been used, this plugin will wordwrap the text to 80 chars if any lines go beyond that. I also have sped up the plugin selection a bit. o The icons will be reloaded every time you switch screens. This will remap any newicons/glowicons to their true colours. o Rewritten the way icons are handled. This will require icon.library v44. Icons will also now be transparent for newicons and glowicons. Icons also only redraw if they get trashed. o Wrote a new AmigaWriter plugin. o Optmised gadget help bubbles and icon imagery to use GadgetHelp instead of checking to see if the user clicked in a certain area. o Created a basic WordPerfect plugin. o Removed ability to have gadgets displayed at the bottom of the window, as I never use that feature. o Fixed a small bug in the tooltypes of the icon, always loaded the default preference file if loaded from Workbench. o Rearranged Preference window slightly to save space. o The WordPerfect plugin should now handle most special characters and supports Windows WordPerfect format. 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.
