- "Convert" history:
-
-
- 19/04/92: version 1.0
- full functionality,
- not released.
-
- 24/04/92: version 1.01
- Bugs fixed:
- - Error with no slash between path name and file name after "Add files..."
- fixed.
- - If CVT: was not assigned, an ugly system requester appeared. Now "Convert"
- checks if CVT: exists. If not, "Convert" continues normally.
- - If a source file could not be found, a fatal error occurred. Now "Convert"
- continues the conversion after showing a requester.
- Added:
- - If CVT: was not assigned, the current directory is examined for conversion
- descriptions. If there still cannot be found any description, "Convert"
- terminates.
- - Appearance of "Source file list" improved. File names are not displayed
- with their full path name any more (one exception: if the pure file name
- exists in the list, the equal file names are extended to their full name.
- So the two files can be distinguished).
-
- 29/05/92: version 1.02
- OS 2.0 compatibility improved:
- - "Convert" now checks the existence of the logical device "CVT:" in a way
- which is safe for multitasking. This is done using arp.library functions
- like "AddDADevs" etc.. The hack in version 1.01 which examines DosBase
- directly did not work with OS 2.0.
- Now "Convert" should work with OS 2.0 without problems (but still with
- intuisup.library !).
-
- 02/06/92:
- OS 2.0 compatibility improved again :-) :
- - "Convert" now opens a CON: window instead a NEWCON: (!) window for its
- conversion trace (aargh !).
-
- 25/06/92: version 1.03
- User interface improved:
- - shortcuts for button commands
- - name of current conversion description shown in title bar of trace window
- IntuiSup.library 4.2 supported.
-
- 10/07/92: version 1.10
- User interface improved:
- - selection possibility in both lists (elimination of string gadget)
- - "Remove" button added
- Conversion philosophy improved:
- - The date of a converted file remains unchanged, since only the structure
- of the file should change.
-
- 28/07/92:
- Bug fixed:
- - Keeping old file date did not work with file in subdirectories
- (what else do you expect, when you use the ACTION_SETDATE handler command,
- which is NOT documented at all !!!)
- Use interface improved:
- - When starting from Workbench, no console window is opened any more
- - Fatal errors are reported using an alert - not as output into the current
- shell (as a consequence from the 1st improvement ;-) ).
-
- 31/07/92: version 1.11
- Data security improved:
- - Before deleting the original file, a temporary file is created which will
- be renamed to the original name.
-
- 31/08/92: version 1.12
- Bug with reqtools.library v38.362 fixed:
- - If directory is string empty, then no '/' is pretended.
-
- 03/10/92: version 1.2
- Improved:
- - "Add files..." requester remembers last chosen directory
- Added:
- - number of items in source file list is displayed below the list
- - Target directory option added. If you specify a target directory,
- "Convert" will not replace the original file, but write the converted
- version to the specified directory.
- Shell version of "Convert" named "Cvt" included:
- - same functionality due to various specification possibilities
- - supports C= wildcards
-
- 24/02/93-03/03/93: version 2.0
- Improved:
- - "OS 1.3 features" removed. No need for arp.library & intuisup.library.
- Works with OS 2.04+ only.
- - Improved input language.
- - Minor cosmetics (window centering, error messages, current font,...).
- Bug fixed:
- - Creating temporary file did not work on 68040 machines.
- Documentation:
- - Reread & rewritten.
- - Version as Postscript source provided.
-
- 22/11/93: version 2.01
- Improved:
- - version string added to WB and shell version.
- Bugs fixed:
- - unnecessary MEMF_FAST allocations removed to work also with "CHIPMEM-only"
- machines.
- - fatal error handler in "Cvt" caused a crash (intuition.library not open).
