***************************************************************** * FileStar/2 Version 2.00.5 * * CSD Level 1996337 * ***************************************************************** This diskette contains corrective service for FileStar/2 Version 2.0. To install the corrective service, follow the procedure described on page 4 of the FileStar/2 Technical Reference manual. Corrective Service files are cumulative. The latest CSD file contains fixes found in all previous CSD files. If while attempting to apply this CSD you encounter the error message pop-up with the title which reads "Base Level Invalid", it means that the version information stored in the INI files could not be found. This information was placed there during the installation of the base product, but is no longer there. You must reinstall the base product and then apply this CSD. ***************************************************************** * Operating System Anomalies * ***************************************************************** 1. Warp 3 users without at least FixPak 10 applied will sometimes experience video corruption after a drag operation, especially while dragging the toolbar items. There is no cure other than applying FixPak 10 or later. After it occurs, it is persistent until the application is shutdown and restarted. 2. Users with FixPak 17 applied will have the shading at the top of static text windows overwritten by the window. This will be most apparent in the windows in the Data Panel at the bottom of the FileStar/2 display. FixPak 22 corrects this problem. ***************************************************************** * Online Help Update * ***************************************************************** The online FILESTAR.HLP file has been updated. It reflects changes made through v2.00.5. Grammatical and spelling errors have been corrected. The help file is dated 11-22-96 at 22:00 and has a file size of 762,947 bytes. It will work with any version 2 executable. Many thanks to a dedicated FileStar/2 user, Bill Usim, for his review and help. For those users that have asked for it, check the help index for two of the new items; - 'creating an anti-virus toolbar item'. - 'starting external programs' which details how to add toolbar launch items. ***************************************************************** * V2.00.5 * ***************************************************************** 1. Fixed the graying of the 'Files' menu item on start up and after certain file operations. 2. Improved the logic on file 'Rename' in those cases where the file name is not changed. 3. Added a 'Toolbar' submenu item under 'Setup' in the primary Action Bar menu. This is the same as the toolbar context menu except it does not have options that are item specific. 4. Included bitmaps that may be used for launch items. 5. Corrected bubble help for 'ExecuteProgram' toolbar items to say 'Run associated program'. 6. Finally solved the mystery of no bubble help for toolbar dropdown items. The dropdown items will now display the bubble help. 7. Fixed a problem where the label on the 'Size' button on the Data could get stuck on one of the 'on the fly' labels associated with the Ctrl/Shift/Alt modifier keys. 8. Fixed the logic for checking the 'No Splitbar' option on 'Details View Options', page 2_4 of the setup notebook. ***************************************************************** * V2.00.4 * ***************************************************************** Overall performance was enhanced, especially when using computers with lower end hardware and memory. This will be primarily noted in startup and drive read times. The items fixed in Version 2.00.4 are: 1. Changed the point of file window update during scan to eliminate an annoying blink with the 1st unsorted file still highlighted. 2. File window summary data was not using the new format after drag & drop operations. 3. After a directory move of the current directory, the new selected directory was not set into a copy/move directory dialog correctly. 4. File sync select in Directory Compare was improved. 5. Fixed a potential for a user to select a different directory than the one selected for deletion before the window was locked. 6. Fixed a potential compatibility problem with Warp 4 Voice Manager. 7. Added titlebar swap window bitmap symbols that match those in Warp 4. 8. Fixed an elusive SYS3175 that occurred very infrequently after drag moving files. 9. Made the /a switch (auto close) for the Execute Programs command lines case insensitive. 10. Fixed a path error while using the ZipView window to dump a file into WORKDIR while logged into a subdirectory of WORKDIR which was created with a previous dump to WORKDIR. 11. Finally the color palettes are fixed. This is an change in FS/2 code, not a fix in Warp. The color samples are slightly smaller than in the WPS palettes. 12. Made minor pixel adjustments to accommodate double pixel shading of certain controls in Warp 4. 13. Grayed the Files context menu if there are no files in the active window. 14. Fixed a probable SYS3175 when accessing a directory that had been deleted outside FS/2. 15. The Rescan Dir menu item was set to a conditional cascaded item to function as intended. 16. Fixed a problem with moving a directory to a different drive and using a manual path entry. 17. Removed hard color coding is some dialogs that made static text hard to read when a dark dialog background color was set with the Color Scheme palette. 18. General code clean up and other minor changes. ***************************************************************** * V2.00.3 * * Version 2.00.3d is a FileStar/2 demonstration program. * ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** * V2.00.2 * ***************************************************************** The items fixed in Version 2.00.2 are: 1. OS/2 version 2.1x would either fail to load or ran very slowly after start. 2. Object Desktop would grab the focus on start up and after completion of most functions. This was noted in Warp for Windows only with Object Desktop v1.5 and with all versions of Warp with Object Desktop v1.0-1.4. 3. The Object Desktop rollup feature would cause internal window mis-sizing when unrolled. 4. The Copy Error dialog 'Skip' pushbutton would not skip the current file but instead recalled the dialog for the same file error in drag Copy or Move operations. 5. If the program was minimized or maximized and then restored in the custom window style, the recessive File window would blank on activation. 6. On startup, the Drive and/or Directory windows would not match the active File Window in some instances. 7. The User Defined Associations File Filters required a semicolon delimiter to work and would crash the program if a comma was used as a delimiter. It was easy to mistake the example on the dialog as commas instead of the required semicolons. The program will now accept either semicolons or commas delimiters and also trailing semicolons. 8. Detailed shading of the text windows in the Data Panel was compromised to accommodate a bug in OS/2 FixPak 17 in v2.00.1. This bug has been fixed in FixPak 22. The code has been restored to correctly draw the shaded windows. If you are using FP17, you will see the top of each window unshaded, distorting what was intended. Apply FP22 to restore correct shading. 9. The startup code has been revised to decrease the time required to display the main window and to fix an access violation when starting as a swap window from the startup folder. 10. There were some instances where proper internal window sizing was affected by combinations of windowing controls, such as minimizing or maximizing from a swap window with an internal window maximized, or changes in menu fonts or in what mode the program was started. The possible combinations are numerous. All improper moding that has been noted is corrected. 11. User defined file associations were not being recognized when double clicked on inside a zip file when viewed with ZipView. 12. Grayed the move and delete functions when a CDROM is the active device. 13. Fixed am access violation when using File Find and double clicking to go to a directory in the found list box. 14. The parent directory pushbuttons were not functioning correctly when Multiple Trees was in use. 15. The mini-icon setting was not restored after a directory compare operation and any action after initialization would restore normal icons if shutdown was made after setting miniicons. 16. Some users were expecting the Drive Used/Free buttons to toggle the Drive Used/Free and Total Used/Free sums. Any operation after the display of the Total Used/Free will revert the display to Drive Used/Free. Either button now toggles the sum data. 17. Selecting File Compare in the Directory Compare display did not function. 18. There was a keystroke conflict on the use of the '*' as a wildcard character in some entry fields and the Shift '*' used to Load Subjects. The latter has been changed to Alt Shift '*' and the Directories menus have been changed to show the new required keystrokes to Load Subjects. 19. The hot keys for resetting the internal window ring were changed from Shift 'W' to Alt Shift 'W' to eliminate the possibility of unintentionally resetting the windows while entering text in entry fields. 20. The hot keys for activating the Window Options menu were changed from Shift '?' to Ctrl Shift '?' to allow use of the '?' character in the multiple file rename entry field. 21. Selecting a DateTime or Attributes change dialog and then canceling would crash the program if Rename was subsequently selected with no other actions performed. 22. The Print function would not work when configured to run an external program on the External Programs page of the Setup notebook. It will now function with an External Program of your choice or you may enter 'PRINT.COM' as the external print program to cause it to bypass the internal print function and print directly to the configured printer port. If the 'Print' External Program entry is left blank, the internal print interface is used. This is the 'Default' action when selecting 'Print' from the file menus. Additionally, hot keys and menu options have been assigned to allow printing directly to the spooler (Ctrl P) through the OS/2 file 'PRINT. COM' or to use the internal Print Option dialogs ( Ctrl Alt P), regardless of the presence of a user defined print program. 23. File List printing did not work. 24. A SYS3175 access violation, when selecting a different printer form in the Print Setup dialog, was fixed. 25. An additional command line switch, /a, is available to cause external sessions started with either the Execute dialog or the Toolbar Launch Execute Program to autoclose on completion. Just add this switch to the Execute entry field or the Execute Program command Parameters field in the toolbar item setup notebook. 26. The message window was wiping out some messages before the set persistence time. The moding of the window was improved. 27. Renaming of multiple files was adversely affected by items 18, 19, and 20. 28. The loading of longname EAs was moded differently to eliminate the associated performance penalty on FAT drives. This was very noticeable on floppies and Zip drives. The change results in a drive rescan to get the longname EAs if either drive in a Directory Compare function is a FAT drive and loading of longname Eas is not enabled. 29. Some hot key use was not properly resetting the Alt key such that double clicking on a drive or directory after their use would result in the Alt Enter (double click) command and open the WPS drive or folder objects. 30. Several other cosmetic and lesser operating anomalies were corrected. Further fine tuning for improved speed and interface consistency has been made. ***************************************************************** * New Toolbar Items * ***************************************************************** Added five additional builtin toolbar items to make it easier to implement the following capabilities; 1. Directory rescan. 2. Anti-Virus submenu. 3. Anti-Virus drive scan. 4. Anti-Virus directory scan. 5. Anti-Virus file scan. To use the anti-virus items, Alt drag and drop the drive, directory and file AV toolbar items on the AV submenu. Then edit each item by right clicking on it and selecting Edit Item from the context menu. The Execute Program must be set in the Function field and the following examples show the command lines to enter in the Parameters field if using IBMAV. Consult your documentation for the command line parameters for other antivirus products. Command line parameters for IBMAV; AV file scan; X:\PATH\IBMAVSP.EXE -LOG -SCOMP %F AV dir scan; X:\PATH\IBMAVSP.EXE -LOG %D AV drive scan; X:\PATH\IBMAVSP.EXE -LOG %V Selection of the appropriate toolbar item will result in an AV scan on the selected file, directory or drive. ***************************************************************** * V2.00.1 * * The baseline version 2 product was 2.00.1. * ***************************************************************** SofTouch Systems, Inc. 1300 S.
