I am sick of the ugly looking non-proportional text viewers. So I decided to
write my own viewer that would be font-sensitive, and blend in with all your
other nice patches, as so not to spoil the look and feel of your Workbench.
Well I was sick of non-proportional text viewers until I made horizontal
scrolling in this version. Now EvenMore doesn't support proportional fonts. But
IMHO, even though EvenMore isn't as powerful as the rest, it still looks far
nicer than the competition, and is increasing in functionality at every release.
Here are the main features of 0.58
----------------------------------
o Scroller window allows easier moving about documents.
o AppWindow, AppIcon and AppMenu makes opening files easy. Not only can you
drag files onto them, but also drawers, and a requester will appear!
o Totally font sensitive.
o Tooltypes and preference file(s) for configuring settings.
o Can open the window on any public screen and move between them.
o Can create it's own public screen to run on.
o ARexx port for remote control.
o Supports the numeric keypad, mouse and wheel mouse movement.
o Very clean and smooth scrolling.
o String and pattern finding functions with search hilighting, including file
and directory search.
o Bookmarks for remembering positions in the document.
o Quick load listview for opening documents fast.
o Configurable GUI for quick access to features.
o File loading uses AsyncIO for speed.
o Can open multiple files. Up to 1000 files can be stored in memory.
o Help available by pressing the help key.
o Gadget help bubbles.
o User-configurable filetypes, for passing certain files to different programs.
o Automatic conversion of AmigaGuide files to plain text.
o Supports ANSI Escape code sequences!
o Uses EasyGUI, the best GUI in the history of the world.
o Can use Asl or ReqTools library for filerequesters.
o Option to save the file.
o Send the file to an editor.
o Print the file.
o Conifurable information bar.
o Execute commands or open a shell on the window.
o XPK compression supported.
o File history menu.
o Locale support.
o Clipboard support.
o Supports plugin modules! (AmigaGuide, MSWord conversion)
and more...
Here are the recent features
----------------------------
o Created a basic RTF plugin.
o Removed Printer settings from the preference GUI. Instead of opening the
printer device, it will now open a file using the PRT: device instead. The
other method was causing problems with TurboPrint. Please use the Workbench
printer preferences instead.
o Fixed a bug. Was updating menus while they were still in use when loading or
closing a file. Thanks Jean Marie :).
o Images within EvenMore, e.g. Hand image when you quit EvenMore, will now be
loaded through icons in the icon folder you are currently using. They will
support NewIcons/GlowIcons as usual.
o Created a basic Becker2text plugin.
o A new PowerArt ASCII plugin has been created by aGGreSSor of team PowerAmiga,
along with a new Russian locale!
o Created a very basic work in progress IXML plugin (See Ix-Guide,
www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/hudson/187.
o Amended EvenMore's escape code interpreter. Not sure if these codes are in
use already, if they are, someone let me know.
I have 2 new codes, *e[50;0;0;0m and *e[51;0;0;0m. Both take 3 arguments
after them to allocate a pen for text (R,G,B). 50 changes the Pen colour, and
51 will change the background colour, thus giving you mul
t
ico
l
oure
d
text.
o Rewrote RTF plugin from the ground up with full colour support.
o Jan Zahurancik has created a Slovak catalog for EvenMore!
o Quickload list from the menus gave trouble because it tried to reset menus
while they were in use. Fixed. Also tried to squeeze prefs window smaller so
it would give less trouble on smaller screenmodes.
o Text formatting will now span more than one line if required. Unfortunatley
this will mean reprogramming some of the plugins as these were programmed
relying on EvenMore not being able to carry the text format on to the next
line.
There are still a few things to be ironed out though. Please read the docs
before you delete as soon as you set your eyes on it.
All hints, tips, examples of code, etc., will be appreciated!

I cannot expect to be able to develop this program much further, as I am a
Christian and believe Jesus Christ will return very soon. If I do not reply to
any mail for months and months, then the development of this program has ceased.
