WARPWB 2.1 useful Workbench enhancer by Marcus Tobias


Introduction Requirements Usage Changes Registration Installation History Future Greetings

Introduction


When working a bit with the WB you experience a garbage amount of
directory-windows on your screen - it`s time to start closing all the
unused ones.... :(
Now WarpWB simply closes the parent-window whenever you enter a subdir, so
your screen will be clean and free of waste ;).
You can optionally keep or close the parent-window by pressing a hotkey (see below)
while opening a subdir.


Requirements

- 680x0 Processor
- OS 2.x or higher
- MUI 3.x


Usage

Open the Interface via Exchange.
There you can edit the prefs of WarpWB.
if "Close always" is selected, parent window will only be kept when the
hotkey is pressed. Otherwise the window will close on pressing hotkey.

Now you can select 3 different qualifiers to represent the hotkey.

Patterns:

You can enter patterns, that will be compared with the name of the child`s
windowname. If the pattern matches, the parent window will optional close
or stay. Depent on the state of the "Close always"-Flag. It`s like pressing
the hotkey.

For registered users:

The prefs are stored in the ToolTypes of WarpWB.
The patternprefs are stored in "ENVARC:WarpWB.patterns".
