As of today version 1.6 of Searchplus (Shareware) has been uploaded to Hobbes.   Currently the file SearchPlus160.wpi is in the directory pub/incoming but it will probably be moved to pub/os2/util/disk

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
