This version now includes a number of bug fixes, and several improvements
which were suggested during Warpstock Europe last year. Summarizing the
main improvements are:
- The complete program is a WPI package so that it can easily be installed or deinstalled.
- The Browse window can now be repositioned anywhere on the desktop.
- Option to create a directory in Browse.
- Option to delete a complete directory and sub directories in Browse.
- Option to open a command shell (which is user selectable, i.e. 4os2) in which the directory and drive is set to that of the first selected item
- Option to Select EA names.
- Option to search for a string within a specific EA, or all EA's
- Option to use environmental variables such as %PATH%.
- Option to limit select/deselect sub-directories.
- Refresh media option added to Browse (F5).
- Option to limit text string search by ignoring certain filetypes.
- Option to ignore specific paths.
- Both RAM disks and ISO Disks are supported.
Changed/Improved:
- In order to respond quicker, floppy drives are no longer supported in Browse.
- In "Advanced View"; drive selection buttons are now shown without spaces for missing drive letters.
- Icons are now used in the action dialogs instead of text.
- The number of characters than can be used for the Filename filter has been increased to 128 characters.
- The number shown (NNN) on the 'Y x NNN' button in the action dialogs, now counts down to show the number of actions to be executed before completion.
- The browser is now a standalone application operating as a client for Searchplus which is then in server mode.
- Optionally share violation errors can be suppressed.
Enjoy
