Introduction:
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
OK, so it is another one of those Windoze Start button lookalikes. However,
with this one you can browse your directory tree without ever needing to wait
for icons to load, because they are loaded dynamically. In addition, icons are
shown for files that do not have icons (based on filetype) and thumbnails are
created on the fly for Jpeg pictures. Most importantly, Dynamite is a lot
faster in loading icons, especially default icons, than Workbench / DOpus.

Features
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · Easy browsing to directories, starting files (with filetype recognition) and
   performing file management (copy, rename, delete, etc.).
 · From the start button you can browse your (virtual) directory tree; at the
   same time the dock icons next to the start button provide additonal browsers.

 · Supports old, NewIcons and OS3.5 icon formats (and conversion to OS3.5 format)
 · Shows default icons for files that do not have icons, based on filetype.
 · Shows 1/8 size thumbnails for Jpeg pictures, created on the fly.
 · Can scale all icons/thumbnails to a specified size.

 Dynamite is faster in displaying icons than Workbench / DOpus, because:
 · Only those icons are loaded that are on the current and next two "pages".
 · Only one default icon is loaded for each filetype and reused for every file
   of the same type.
 · You don't have to wait for the icons or thumbnails to finish loading.

 · Files and directories can be added to various hotlists or as dock icons.
 · Supports the creation of hierarchical hotlist structures, i.e. you can have
   one hotlist opening another and that one another, ...

 · Filetype recognition is based on file extensions. The "def_*.info" files in
   the "EnvArc:sys/" directory are used as default icons (e.g. "def_doc.info"
   for a "*.doc" file). The "Default Tool" entry is used to open a file and an
   "EDIT" tooltype can be specified as an alternative tool.

 · Memory pools are used to reduce memory fragmentation.

Version History
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Important: a lot of changes have happened, be sure to read the documentation!

Dynamite 2.1:
 · No more duplicate filenames when copying from one browser to another when
   files with the same name already exist. As a side-effect, all duplicates in
   hotlists are now also discarded.
 · During copy/move for which destination existed, copy/move would continue also
   when SKIP was chosen from the Delete requester or the file/dir could not be
   deleted for other reasons. Copy would then fail anyway, but for a move the
   source would be deleted without copying ! This has been fixed.
   Also, a failed copy will get a proper requester now.

Dynamite 2.0:
 · Bit of a rewrite(!) Now instead of recursively opened browser windows, all
   windows are now independantly. So you can work in all opened browser windows
   at the same time, and operations like copy and add hotlist will update the
   target window immediately.
 · The dock icons provide additional starting points for browsing; each button
   can open its own directory tree.
 · A lot of other changes, too (see for yourself).

Dynamite 1.7:
 · Stack usage is reduced somewhat (by a few hundred bytes per browser window).
 · All CLI commands are now executed asynchronously (no "run" is used/needed).
 · Arexx support doesn't use "C:rx" any more. Prefix "rx" is used to trigger
   execution of Arexx scripts and "rx <port>" to send a message to an Arexx port.
 · For starting Workbench programs, WBStart.library is used instead of "wbrun".
 · "ConvNewIcon" is now an internal function and combines the functionality of
   the OS3.5 "ConvertNewIcons" and "CondenseIcons" utilities (just OS calls).
 · You can now also (de)select multiple items by shift-clicking the first item
   and dragging the mouse over the next items.
 · Caps Lock can also be used to select between copy and move mode.
 · You can specify a default copy to directory for every filetype by defining a
   "COPYTO" tooltype for the appropriate default icon; it will be shown in the
   "Copy to" submenu to copy/move the selected files to the directory.
 · Selecting an "EDIT" tool from the "Open with" menu will now use the same tool
   to open all selected files.
 · Selecting "Open with->default" on a directory will open the drawer with DOpus
   or Workbench (use the DIRTOOL tooltype of Dynamite to define the command).

Dynamite 1.6:
 · Icons are now scaled to fit the area specified by the MINX, MINY tooltypes.
 · Thumbnails are scaled to fit the area specified by the PICX, PICY tooltypes.
 · Finally thumbnails are displayed ok under all circumstances.
 · Shift-clicking items will only select them (multiple selection mode).
 · In multiple selection mode, Copy, Rename, Delete, etc. will operate on
   all selected files. In this mode, Delete displays a confirmation requester.
 · Added "Select all" to popup menu to select all items.
 · The "Copy to" feature now really copies and "Move to" will move (rename if
   possible) a file or directory. Hold shift when opening menu for "Move" mode.
 · A tool can be specified with the EDIT tooltype from a default icon, that is
   added to the "Open with" menu when opened on a file of the appropriate type.
 · Icons changed by the "ConvertNewIcons" and "ConvertMagicWBIcons" utilities
   are now displayed without redrawing the whole window.
 · Clicking on a file without an icon/thumbnail loaded will also load the image.
 · Removed bug in auto rename feature (files without extension with dot in path)
