** Updates/Bug fixes **
*** Changes in version .99i
Optimized the totalling that takes place when lots of files get selected - speed is
increased by
approximately a factor of 3 for large directories. An hourglass cursor has been
implemented for
the time during selection as an indicator.
Registry changes are updated immediately after exiting the configuration panel. This
allows you
to change the setting for multiple instances of PCDM without having to exit (to get
registry changes
updated) for it to take effect.
*** Changes in version .99h
Added time delay for image viewing - 0 for unlimited pause, and 1-999 for seconds between
images.
Hitting ESC in slideshow image mode now aborts the rest of the selected pictures being
viewed.
New configuration option on whether to allow multiple instances of PC DiskMaster to run
(can be toggled
on/off). This allows or disallows more than one copy of PC DiskMaster to run at once.
Added skeleton of structure for new option (not operational yet) to toggle whether PC
DiskMaster will
appear in context-sensitive menus (right-mouse menus) for quick access to PCDM from other
areas of
Windows.
Space bar or Enter will now advance to next image when multiple images are queued for
viewing;
ESC aborts.
*** Changes in version .99g
Added version information to the Help/About menu.
Images can now be queued for viewing of multiple images in order (select multiple images
and click
ShowPic, then either hit ESC or click the mouse to go to next pic in order).
*** Changes in version .99f
Added Refresh button to top - found it's needed when removable media change after a dir of
one is
already acquired (to get the newly swapped in ones dir without leaving that drive letter).
Reordered command buttons.
Changed message on Play command button to reflect formats understood.
Optimized tab order in Wildcard Command button screen.
Now *all* formats not native to PC DiskMaster will launch with their associated app if
double-clicked.
(and will launch with PCDM if natively understood)
Fixed conflict for ALT-D - two Command buttons were using it for shortcut.
File and Dir boxes should now correctly refresh themselves if you have the same dir up on
both sides
and delete files or dirs from one side.
Now trapping for condition where a dir delete or move is attempted when the destination is
at or a sub
of the source dir. (This was being trapped but the move was attempted to trap and resulted
in the
file and dir list boxes changing their paths and refreshing. They no longer do this)
Fixed loading of GIF images - was erroneously reporting non-support if you tried to load
GIFs - doh!
Resolved issue where if a directory was deleted from the right pane the now-non-existent
directory
was still displayed (didn't fold up to last current dir before dir delete)
Changed bolding of command button text at different resolutions
Added intelligent check for free space before copy and move operations - now the copy and
move commands
will not only check for vacant space at the destination directory, but will also take into
account
the presence of existing files by the same name as any to be copied, even if their size is
different
than the source files size
Fixed esoteric bug where a dir is gotten for a removable media (floppy, CD, Zip drive,
etc) and then
the media is removed, and then the Refresh button is pressed, and *then* :-) the Send Path
To button
for that pane is pressed to send that path to the other side
*** Changes in version .99e
Handled run-time errors that can be generated by accessing say a floppy drive and then
removing the
floppy and trying to click on a filename from that floppy (so dir was successfully read
and is still
displayed, but disk is no longer present). Also handled error whereby if a floppy dir was
gotten,
and then that floppy was removed and replaced by another floppy and a file in the dir list
from
the first floppy was selected without changing to A: (or B:) again. (No one should be
encountering
these errors in previous versions unless they were just being malicious! :-)
Modified wildcard selection screen so that inverse and cumulative can not both be on at
once since
a cumulative inverse has no usefulness, and an inverse cumulative again has no useful
meaning (without
modifying the original intent anyway).
Audio controls now function as intended.
Added source side coloring to indicate which side is the current source for the next
operation.
*** Changes in version .99d
Fixed problem where some formats of JPG images would not load
Fixed cumulative wildcard glitch whereby on consecutive wildcards being applied to the
right pane
the dialog was indicating left, instead of right (it should (and now does) remember the
last place
you applied a wildcard, or rather the last pane you touched, which in the case of multiple
cumulative
wildcards would be the same pane.
Selecting Cancel (or hitting ESC) in Wildcard selection dialog no longer resets the
current selection
so you won't lose and have to redo the selection if you change your mind upon entering
Wildcard.
*** Changes in version .99c
Rearranged file management buttons for easier access
Removed Refresh button (seemed unnecessary)
Added View button for forcing viewing/editing of files as ASCII (many file types already
natively
loaded/launched by PC DiskMaster - but custom filetypes like .SYS and others that truly
are ASCII
can now be launched with the View button)
Increased vertical space for directory and file windows to more effectively use window
area
