PROGRAM/PMPro ENVIROMENT
========================
This menu offers a lot functions concerning usage and
user friendliness.
- The number of catalogue entries can be freely set from 1000 to 9999
entries each catalog. You have to take care that on low memory systems
the maximum catalogue is not set too high. For this reason you should
avoid making catalogues too large.
- Handling of Mouse buttons (long and short click) now can be freely
set. Instead of popup-menus the mouse buttons may receive
new meanings like mark, show, etc.
- You may select between file requesters based on Standard ASL
Requester or ReqTools-Library
- The graphics user interface can now be switched from fixed style
to a window-oriented surface.
This window-oriented surface offers the following features, which
become most useful with higher resolutions (on graphic cards):
1. The thumbnail window becomes freely sizeable and moveable, so that
the PMPro can be adjusted to your graphics card resolution easily.
2. The new command control window now contains functions for
marking of pages as well as quickly changing mouse button actions.
Also, a page may quickly be accessed, by simply typing the page
number in the appropriate number gadget.
3. The information window (function: PopUp/Information), which
displays graphics information has been slightly changed for the
window-oriented surface and now can be kept open at all times
(asynchronously), while the data of the currently selected thumbnail
will be immediately displayed there.
4. Any opened quick menu windows no longer hide thumbnails below them,
since your window can be freely positioned on the screen.
There is no rule as to which surface design is better.
It is mostly a matter of personal preference. Some users prefer
window-oriented displays, which nevertheless may become
confusing, depending on the number of opened windows.
Others prefer a structured/ordered view.
We decided to offer both, to allow you to select your favorite view!
When leaving this menu, all settings will be saved automatically, so
that these will be available with the next program start.
