THIS PROGRAM IS AN ALPHA VERSION! SO USE IT WITH CARE AND BE PATIENT ;-).
This program could be dangerous cause I didn't tested enough its
compatibility with others one, but my program NEVER delete a file before
successfully copied it. So try it on a floppy disk before installing on
your hard disk, but don't be too much afraid of it. Sometimes you can
notice it don't delete original file (or dir) after a move or delete
without any error message; this can due to an assignement on a dir, or
another program that is using the file, so the deletion fail, but no
error message is displayed because I didn't develope it yet.
Another time: be patient! next release will be more complete.
If you like my project (see below) read the appropriate section to know
how support it.
INSTRUCTIONS
Choose a volume with listview on upper left of the window. You can see
in the left list below the tree of directory and in the right list a
complete list of file and dir in the root of choosed volume. Now you
can navigate the volume clicking on the listtree (subdir will be added
if it's the case) or doubleclicking on dir in right list.
Button Description
New dir - will be displayed a window with string gadget to type a name;
after return is pressed a new dir with the name typed will be
created (if you don't type anything command is aborted).
Rename - if there is a file or dir actually selected will be displayed
a window with string gadget where you can change the name.
Move - if there is an active selection (you can multiselect file and/or
dir keeping pressed shift key and clicking on right list) the
selection is buffered, cleared (from display) and Move button
highlight. You can change your mind before real execution of
command and press Copy button: your selection will be keeped
live and Copy button highlight. When you'll press the Paste
button a copy will be performed, not a move. You can also move
file dragging your selection on a visible node in left list.
If you press Move button when it is highlighted, the buffered
selection will be cleared.
Copy - if there is an active selection (you can multiselect file and/or
dir keeping pressed shift key and clicking on right list) the
selection is buffered, cleared (from display) and Copy button
highlight. You can change your mind before real execution of
command and press Move button: your selection will be keeped
live and Move button highlight. When you'll press the Paste
button a move will be performed, not a copy. You can also copy
file dragging your selection on a visible node in left list.
If you press Copy button when it is highlighted, the buffered
selection will be cleared.
Paste - if Copy or Move button are highlighted you can press Paste
button and the selection buffered will be moved/copied to
current dir.
Delete - if there is an active selection, selected files and/or dir
will be deleted. The file and dir are not really deleted, but
instead moved to the dir 'TrashAMF' (do you remember? you created
it during program installation) that is never displayed by my
program. In future release I'll develop the tools to operate with
this innovative trash (it remember the dir from which you deleted
the files, it'll can hold more than one copy of the same file or
dir, etc.) for the moment be carefull with deleting cause you
can full the volume.
Undo - Undo last command (quite simple to explain :-)
Pref Setting - Not developed yet :-(.
Right List - if you double click on a dir its content will be displayed. If
you double click on a file my program try to display it with
multiview (you MUST have multiview program on SYS:Utilities
directory). If you have datatype for JPEG file, you can view
JPEG image in this way. (Further version will have a pref
setting to manage all the data type, in browser like manner).
MY PROJECT
My project consist in giving to Amiga community a good program for system
management that improve efficiency using this wonderful computer. With a
such kind of program we'll can run other program, view/play multimedia
files, manage our Amiga, and so on.
SUPPORT MY PROJECT
First of all I need beta tester!!! If you want to help me try my program
and write me a report of problem, suggestion and whatever you think can
be useful to my development. Write me only by e-mail at
mvitale@mailbox.dsnet.it
I don't know if I'll can replay to all, but I wish to thank since now
anybody who will write me.
Second I should like that other shareware programmer join my project,
to publish a complete program as outlined before. So if you write some
application (in special way viewer or player for multimedia) contact
me, also if you already publish your work (an also if you publish it
as FREEWARE: I'll respect your right ANYWAY!).
Have good time with my program!
