Short: Update Iris V1.10 to V2.0 Type: comm/mail Author: Jilles Tjoelker Uploader: Menno Tjoelker Version: 2.0 Status: shareware Requires: AmiTCP/IP or Miami, OS V37+ (V2.04), 1 MB free memory, Iris V1.10 This is an update archive to change Iris V1.10 to V2.0. It uses GPatch, created by Ralph Gruner, which is included. New in V2.0 25-Dec-1999 * Switched from radio buttons to a listview in 'Edit filter', to prevent 'Can't open window.' error messages if there are many folders. * Iris now uses openurl.library if it's present. The old mechanism (BrowseWWW.rexx) is still used if it is not available. openurl.library provides more flexibility, especially if you use more than one browser or if you switch browsers. The archive can be found on Aminet. Currently, the most recent version is 3.0. For Iris any version is OK. * You may now change the configuration filename using the command line argument CONFIG or the tooltype CONFIG in the Iris icon or in a project icon. For example, the tooltype CONFIG=Iris_zon will cause the config filenames to become ENV:Iris_zon.cfg and PROGDIR:Iris_zon.cfg. The tooltype in the project icon (if any) takes precendence. * The folder list has been moved from the normal #?.cfg files to a new file in the Mail directory, Folders.cfg. Also, the GUI for editing the folder list has been rewritten to a separate program, IrisFolEdit. This fixes many bugs: you don't need to go to new folders (created with IrisFolEdit) any more before using them, and creation and deletion now works OK. Also, the order of the folder list may now be changed. * Cancelling the requester for an attachment (Save/Save&View/View) left the message file open. * After the editor has finished, the window is now activated and its screen brought to front. This is useful if there is another file in CygnusEd or GoldEd. * The gadgets in the Compose window are now divided over three pages, so the window will open on 640*200 screens too. * Removed a double shortcut in the menus (Message/Edit and Configuration/ Edit signature were both Amiga-E) * BUGFIX: The column weight gadget for the date column was not reachable with Tab. * Changed limits for message list: from and to (were 70) are now 50, subject (was 70) is now 90. * Internal move function added. This is faster than the "MoveMsg.irx" ARexx script, ensures that the sort by date function puts it at the right place and works for "out" folders too. Also there is now an ARexx command MOVE TO/A. * The READMESSAGE ARexx command now has a DELETE switch to delete the file used as source for the message (FILENAME) afterwards. If possible, it is renamed instead, which gives a speed increase. * New feature: archiving. An archive is associated with each folder. Archived messages are not in the list. This decreases the delay when changing to large folders. Archived messages can only be accessed by restoring the archive. Be warned that they take the same amount of disk space. New ARexx commands: ARCHIVE and RESTOREARC. Note that using a separate folder for archiving is still possible. * An empty subject is no longer allowed when composing a message. * A newline is written after the signature now. This avoids problems if the signature does not end in a newline. * The "--" signature start now has a space after it.
