DWEdit V1.62a (41468 bytes) The configuration editor for DirWork 1.62
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This program may be copied as long as it is accompanied by this doc file
both unaltered & no money is charged(except for a reasonable copying fee
such as what Fred Fish charges). All use of this program is at your own
risk & I assume no responsibility or liability for any problems that occur.
Well you can change most options/buttons etc from DirWork but
DWEdit allows you to edit some others as well as making the configuration
process a lot easier. To start DWEdit(assuming DWEdit is in a valid path
eg c:):-
Select the "Use external configuration Editor" menu item from in DirWork
(Best way!). Note if you do this and select Quit & Use, most changes appear
in DW immediately, but if you want those changes always you must select the
"SAVE Current Setup to a DW" menu item.
From a Shell/CLI type "DWEdit DWFileName".
From a Shell/CLI type "DWEdit s:DW.config".
For DirWork 1.31, 1.40 - 1.61 users you can load in the previous
Button/Instant Actions and PopKey/Tool data. Menu type Options aren't
loaded. Things change so some converting is done but new options might be
better so have a look.
From a Shell/CLI type "DWEdit DWFileName OldDWFileName".
Then if everything is ok you will be presented with a screen with
all the DirWork Buttons as well as buttons for the left/middle/right mouse
button instant actions. You can select one of the main buttons:-
Quit - Quit without keeping any changes made.
Quit & Use - Quit and keep changes(this appears if you run from DW).
Quit & Save - Quit and save changes to disk(when not run from DW).
Options - Takes you to a screen of options.
Ed PopTools - Takes you to the PopKey/Tools screen.
Print Config - Prints your Button/InstantAction & PopTool to PRT:.
When the mouse is over a Button/Instant Action the current config
for that button is shown at the bottom of the display. Pressing the button
takes you to a Button/Instant Action editing screen.
There are three toggle buttons on the main screen as well. You can
select SwapButton then press buttons to swap them, then select swap button
again to turn it off. Same goes for SwapRow. CopyBut is like swap button
but the button is copied.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Options screen
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here you can change many options that you couldn't from DirWork
itself:-
OPTIONS THAT TOGGLE ON/OFF
AutoPoint Automatically select windows the mouse is over.
Often called SunMouse.
XCopyBootBlocks The Boot block checker will treat Xcopy Boot blocks as if
they are standard boot blocks.
(ie won't warn you when you insert a disk with one)
ActivateTextGad After getting a directory DirWork will activate the text
gadget.
NoDWDuplicates When you have one DW running and try to start another it
will just bring the one running to the front.
ExternalConfig This makes DirWork use "S:DW.config" and its
configuration file instead of using the DW executable.
Maybe you would like to crunch DirWork and keep changing
your config.
ButtonsBelow If you are one of those upsidedown people this will put the
buttons etc below the file list for you.
PositionIndepen This makes the button position irrelevant to what file list
it refers to. You have to press the right mouse button
on the button to refer to the right list as the source.
Plenty of people use DW this way as you don't have to
have duplicates of many buttons.
MouseAccelerat Accelerates your mouse based on values given in Accel and
threshold.
NoWBenchTools Stops DW from adding tools to the workbench screen in
Kickstart 2.0-. Use this if you wish to quit from
Workbench as DW will not open Workbench if it doesn't
add Tools to the workbench menu.
More ANSI The text viewer can display ANSI files so if you want it
to start in ANSI mode(its slower) select this option.
BusyPointer A little Busy clock comes up when DW is already doing
something. This is on by default.
RMB Activate This causes right mouse button presses to activate the
DW window so you don't have to activate DW then use
the right mouse button. This is on by default.
Parent Buf If you have Buffered directories on this will
automatically use the buffered copy of a dir if you use
the parent/root functions on the far sides of the dir
path gadgets. Eg if you got the directory DF0:c then
pressed the parent/root button it would use the buffered
copy instead of re-reading the DF0: dir. It will only
use the buffered copy if you have not read other dirs
in between.
Interlace Screen is interlaced for DW.
And for the text viewer.
Productivity Screen is non interlaced. Requires ECS chips in your
machine and a VGA or better monitor.
And for the text viewer.
OPTIONS YOU SET THE VALUE OF
TaskPriority The priority relative to other programs running of DW.
1 is usually a good value as it give DW more processor
time than most other programs.
Recommended range -5 to 5.
MouseAccel The factor by which mouse movement will be multiplied by.
You must turn the mouse acceleration option on as well.
Recommended range 2 to 10.
MouseThreshhold This is the smallest movement required before the mouse
acceleration factor is used. So when you do small
movements no acceleration occurs and hence you have fine
control. A value of 1 means always multiply be MouseAccel.
You must turn the mouse acceleration option on as well.
Recommended range 1 to 20.
ScreenBlankTim Amount of time the machine must be idle before the screen
blanks. Assuming you have the ScreenBlank option on.
In tenths of a second so 4800=8 minutes.
Recommended range 2400 to 9600.
BufferedNumber Number of directories keep in memory when you have the
buffered directory option turned on.
Recommened range 4 to 20.
VMKTime Amount of time between VMK checks. Assuming you have the
Periodic VMK check option on.
In tenths of a second so 80=8 seconds.
Recommended range 10 to 180.
LeftActivate This is the Qualifier/Keycode of the key combination that
will activate(like you pressed the left button on gadget)
the left directory path text gadget. By default this is
the Del key.
RightActivate This is the Qualifier/Keycode of the key combination that
will activate(like you pressed the left button on gadget)
the right directory path text gadget. By default this is
the Help key.
