- ReqTools Preference Editor

- Release 2.2b
-
- (c) 1991-1994 Nico François
-
- **********************************
-
-
- The ReqTools preference editor requires Kickstart 2.0 or higher to run. Both
- the Kickstart 1.3 and Kickstart 2.0 version of reqtools.library will respond
- to the preference settings.
-
-
- 1. Options:
- -----------
-
- The ReqTools preference editor recognizes following command line options when
- started from the CLI:
-
- FROM <ReqTools preference file> : Edit specified preference file.
- SCREENFONT=<YES|NO> : Use screen font for editor or use the
- standard Topaz 8 font (default YES).
- PUBSCREEN <public screen name> : Open on specified public screen.
-
- Following tool types are recognized when started from Workbench:
-
- CREATEICONS=<YES|NO> : Create icons for preference files
- (default YES). Note that if the editor
- is started from the Shell the menu item
- will not be checked so no icons will be
- created.
- SCREENFONT=<YES|NO> : Use screen font for editor or use the
- standard Topaz 8 font (default YES).
- PUBSCREEN=<public screen name> : Open on specified public screen.
-
-
- 2. The editor
- -------------
-
- This documentation is still very basic, it very shortly describes the
- checkboxes and default requester settings available.
-
- The checkboxes:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- General:
-
- o Pop Screen To Front : Allows you to switch off the default behaviour
- of all ReqTools requesters popping the screen
- they appear on to the front.
-
- o Use system default font: Force the use of the system default font in the
- file, font, directory, screenmode, volume and
- palette requesters (instead of the screen font).
- Note that if a program uses the RT_DefaultFont
- tag to select a specific default font this
- font will be used.
-
- File Requester:
-
- o Immediate sort : If checked makes the file requester sort the
- directory contents automatically.
-
- o Display drawers first : Display drawers before the files in the file
- requester.
-
- o Mix files and drawers : Mix files and drawers in the file requester.
- If none of the 'Display Drawers First' or
- 'Mix Files And Drawers' is checked files
- will be displayed before drawers.
-
- o Disk activity LED : Switch the disk activity LED in the file
- requester on or off.
-
- The default settings:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For each requester you can set the following defaults:
-
- o Size (% of visible height) : Default height of the requester (relative
- to the visible height of the screen it
- will appear on).
-
- o Number of visible entries : Minimum and maximum number of entries that
- are initially displayed. With this you
- can assure you won't see less or more entries
- than the minimum or maxmimum you set when
- the requester first appears. You can for
- example set the font requester to use 75% of
- the visible screen height. If you set the
- maximum number of visible entries to 10 the
- font requester will not display more than
- 10 entries no matter how high the screen is
- it appears on.
-
- o Position : Default position of requester.
-
- o Offset : Offset (in pixels) from the default position.
-
- Note that you are setting defaults, not all requesters will appear as you
- have selected. If a program explicitely sets a requester's position ReqTools
- will make the requester appear as asked. The defaults will be used when the
- calling program doesn't set specific settings itself.
