===============================================================================
== Revision History ========================
Version 1.0 - initial release
- released again to fix bug with ALT key pressed while FileBar
had focus (would crash FileBar)
Version 1.1 - Shutdown System option added to TaskList menu
- maximum number of user definable menus expanded to 7
- option added to allow opening of WPS folders (use drag and
drop to move a folder to the 'edit item' dialog and the
application will automatically fill in pertinent info
about the folder)
- added doubling clicking to select menus and items to edit
- modified so that removing an item does not selection
cursor to top of list each time
- added attaching WPS settings to each executable and using
them to launch an object versus using user defined settings
- still uses version 1.1 configuration files
Version 1.2 - bug fixed that did not allow accessing settings button unless
the edit item dialog was quit and re-entered if the path
information was changed
- modified resources so different fonts will not be
cut off in text areas
- modified launch code so some applications will not launch twice
when using WPS settings
- bug fixed that allows for the 7th menu to actualy be used
- added international date and time options
- added save menu configuration option
- remembers and restores fonts dragged and dropped on it
- allows use of version 1.1 configuration files and automatically
updates them version 1.2 status
- added reset and cancel buttons to edit item data dialog
Version 1.3 - fixed bug to allow task list to jump to a hidden view of a
WPS object, window, etc
- became "drag and drop aware" for fonts (ie window will now
automatically resize when font dropped onto it)
- filebar.ini no longer appears in root of boot drive when used
as a WPS replacement shell. (It appears in the directory that
the executable is started from)
- changed edit item dialog box so that minimized and maximized
box cannot both be checked
- added capabilities to task list: close, switch to, maximize,
minimize, hide and show windows
- much improved application launch (no intermediate REXX script
or command window is used). Seamless window apps still use
this intermediate rexx script, though. :( Still working on
this one!
Version 1.4 - fixed delay that would result when using FileBar as a Workplace
Shell replacement.
- fixed/improve close task mechanism so that it first tries a
"friendly close" and if that doesn't work, then it kills the
process forcefully. (Can now successfully close WPS objects
from task list!)
- Make FileBar menu item reduceable to a single symbol to reduce
menubar real estate it takes up (if the option is chosen)
- suppressed leading zeros in time and date display
- Added ability to use [options] in parameter area of item
settings to ask user to dynamically input command line
parameters before application launch (ie program objects).
- add ability to manipulate background bitmaps (useful ONLY if
FileBar is used as a WPS shell replacement)
- added error message if the launch of a non-WPS item fails
- fixed memory problem with WIN-OS/2 full screen sessions (now
fullscreen sessions are launched via REXX)
- became "drag and drop aware" for colors (ie window will now
automatically restore colors dropped onto it when restarted)
- removed unrecognizable characters from task list that came
from WPS objects that had a carriage return in their title
- removed the ~ from title bar of launched applications
