V40.24

Fixed broken ARexx menu command support

Major improvement of Tooltip layout engine

Added tooltips for several Scalos gadgets, including the status bar images

Fixed menu bug where every menu item got a hotkey mark. Now only the menu items which have got hotkeys are shown with hotkey marks

Moved special pointer icons ("forbidden", "copying", "makelink") from ENV:Scalos/ to THEME:PointerIcons/

Environment variable "scalos/icandy" is recognised if set before Scalos startup. ATM, icandy < 2 turns off splash screen and window status bars. If not set, "Scalos/icandy" gets set with a default value of "2"

Changing "Fullbench" and "Poptitle" now works on-the-fly and doesn't require rebooting anymore

Locale (language) preferences can now be changed on-the-fly, no reboot required anymore

Finished conversion of Scalos Pattern Prefs from ASM to C

First implementation of new filetype-specific popup menu system

Removed obsolete scalos.library function SCA_RemapBitmap()

Upon startup, Scalos should give a warning requester if not all defined pens could be allocated

Finished converting cleanup code to C

Fixed bug in the scalos.library expunge code which was trying to FreeMem() an incorrect library base pointer when quitting Scalos

When "Quit Scalos" is requested, memory is flushed before checking scalos.library open count, so unused libraries still resident in memory no longer prevent Scalos from closing

Added optional background image for tooltips "THEME:TooltipBackground"

Added optional background image for window status bar "THEME:Window/StatusBar/Background"

Added forgotten "PDTA_DestMode, PMODE_V43" in about.c and GadgetBarImageClass.c. Now the entries for the Scalos processes in "PicTD" prefs are no longer required

When prefEnableSplash was turned off after splash window has opened, the splash window never closed - Fixed

After removing an entry from the hidden device list, that device used to appear multiple times on the Scalos screen - Fixed

When AppIcon was replaced via AppChange, Scalos tried to free invalid memory while removing AppIcon - Fixed

V40.21

Fixed lockup problem when a window opened or closed during drag/drop operations

Fixed problem in scalos library code - Expunge() never got called

Fixed init problem with prefTextModeTextAttr.ta_Name, after unsuccessful startup, Scalos tried to FreeVecPooled() static string

Fixed problem with MorphOS and SameLock() NULL Locks in Functions.c. Now it should be possible to open SYS: volume

V40.18

Undid most changes in DragDropBobs.c from 40.17. Now frames around icons work in a more compatible way, together with 40.2 icon datatypes

Commands "rename", "execute", "newdrawer" now support global TextInputHook

Built .sfd files for all Scalos components. All pragma and proto includes and .fd files are now created from those .sfd files

Several window backfill functions didn't check properly for non-existing background images (FileTransfer, Splash) - Fixed

When Scalos tries to quit and there were still foreign windows on WB screen, a retry requester occurs. After clicking "Retry", Scalos tried to free PenShareMap more than once - Fixed

Non-DOS disk icons are now ghosted (just like WB3.9)

Many menu items (e.g. "Open", "Information") are now disabled for non-DOS disks

Unreadable disks are now labelled as "DF0:Unreadable" instead of "DF0:????"

OpenWorkBench() return ULONG instead of Workbench screen address in case of success - Fixed

Added timeout (default=10s) to file transfer counting

Added Win***s-like "Copy", "Cut", "Paste" menu commands to transfer files

Added workaround kludge for broken "delete.module" implementations that rely on wa_Name being empty for directories

Fixed a memory trashing bug in CLIStart(). Only occurred when file name was longer than default tool name

Scalos window tasks now have their directory names appended to the task name, e.g. "Scalos_Window_Task <Tools>"

(old) SCA_RemoveAppObject() failed to remove icons in wt_LateIconList, leading to crashes with MUI applications on CloseWorkBench()/OpenWorkBench() - Fixed

Added new pen for status bar text

More changes in OpenWorkBench() / CloseWorkBench(). Now also uses icon.library V44+ ICONCTRLA_SetGlobalScreen tag. Closing/reopening Scalos (e.g. via screen mode change) should now work

Rewrote OpenWorkBench() / CloseWorkBench() patches in C. Problems with wrong colors after OpenWorkBench() should now be fixed

Added support for WB3.9-compatible (undocumented) CloseWB hook. Now e.g. AmiDock iconifies automagically on CloseWorkbench() and uniconifies afer OpenWorkBench()

Added "Typing" symbol to status bar

Icon selection by typing icon name didn't work for AppIcons and device icons - Fixed

Removed LockIBase() in Window.c/QueryObjectUnderPointer(), hopefully avoiding window lockups

Converted automatic Screen bar switching code to C (see Scalos_Cx.c). Added additional checks for locked Layers to avoid deadlocks

Added two new preference variables, prefWindowHScroll and prefWindowVScroll for the default distances of scrolling icon windows by the keyboard (main_prefs.s, variables.h, imports.i, exports.i)

During D&D, window dropmarks are no longer erased when the mouse is over the icon, but remain visible until the mouse leaves the window

Added SCALOSCTRLA_GetEmulationMode tag for ScalosControl()

Now MenuItems get disabled if they have SubItems and every SubItem is disabled

Finished converting TextWindow class to C

Finished converting IconWindow class to C

Finally fixed long-standing problems with simultaneous multiple window updates (Enforcer hits, icons appearing twice, etc.)

Fixed problem reading large directories containing icons with both fixed and free positions. Icons with "free" positions were placed at the end of each block read, and could be overlapped by an icon read later with a fixed position

When converting WindowClass to C, I (Juergen) somehow dropped one line of code and forgot to clear a window's UserPort before closing the window.

Problem finally solved without setting friend BitMap to NULL

Added preferences selectable pens for ToolTip text and background

Due to an incompatibility in Palette.prefs, I renamed it to "Palette13.prefs". Scalos uses old "Palette.prefs" if no "Palette13.prefs" found. To create new prefs file, either copy old "Palette.prefs" to new "Palette13.prefs" or load Palette prefs editor and use "Save" button to generate new "Palette13.prefs"

Added check for deleting files of an undefined DirEntryType

For SoftLinks, ToolTips showed name of link target instead of link name - Fixed

V40.7

Fixed corrupt logo and text in about and splash windows by setting all allocated bitmaps to have no friend bitmap

V40.6

Double-clicking tool icons in text windows didn't start execute command. Recognition of default icons in text windows didn't work when starting programs - Fixed

Found an icon masking problem with PAL Hires-Laced screen. When "auto remove icons" was turned on, dragged icons left garbage at their original position until finally dropped. Problem (mask BitMap and icon BitMap having different format, recognisable by different "BytesPerRow" values for equal width) at least partially solved by setting friend BitMap to NULL if (Depth <= 8)

Empty lines in ".backdrop" files should be ignored now

CloseWorkBench() from IPrefs Task didn't work - Fixed

Text windows sometimes swallowed first character of file comment - Fixed

Changed locking in DrawDrag() - first call. When "Auto remove icons" was enabled, icons sometimes didn't get ghosted properly due to DRAGFLAGF_WindowLocked set

Changed initial value for unused oldDir Locks from NULL to $ffffffff, to avoid trouble with pr_CurrentDir = NULL (at the end of functions, CurrentDir() never got reset to initial value when that value was NULL)

AmigaDos menu commands failed to skip trailing '"' if command name is surrounded by '"', e.g. "SYS:xyz" executed with '"' as first argument

AmigaDos menu commands now inherit the workbench path

V40.3

ReadIcon() didn't respect the "show only icons" setting for text windows, so all files appeared after automatic window update

Changed detection for WMFLAG_IsVirtualSize (sizetofit menu command enabling), now also enabled if window is larger than necessary to hold icons

Screen menu items are now enabled/disabled each time SCCM_IconWin_SetVirtSize is applied (i.e. after any change in window size)

Forgot to set <rild_DiskWriteProtected> Flag in ReadTextWindowIconList(), so all text icons were treated as if on a write-protected disk

V40.2

With at least OS3.9, you can easily eject removable media with the following menu command (AmigaDos, don't forget to enable "WB Args"): "PARK %p EJECT". We've tested it with CD-ROMs and it seems to work okay, so...

Fixed more problems when running AmigaDOS menu commands without a path

SnapshotWindow() sometimes wrote icon to the wrong directory - Fixed

Added wt_UpdateSemaphore locking for "update" command

V40.1

BltMaskBitMapRastPort() used incorrect MinTerm so Masking didn't work correctly. (e.g. logos in splash and about window on non-cybergraphics screen)

V39.234

Added SCA_ScalosControl() call to scalos.library. Only 3 tags are supported as yet - the documentation is still missing

About and Splash window may load different logo images "THEME:ScalosSplashLogo" and "THEME:ScalosAboutLogo". If those files are not found, both windows fall back to "THEME:ScalosLogo"

Due to an incompatibility in menu.prefs, it has been renamed to "menu13.prefs". Scalos uses old "menu.prefs" if no "menu13.prefs" found. To create the new prefs file, either copy old "menu.prefs" to new "menu13.prefs" or load old "menu.prefs" in menu prefs editor and use "Save" button to generate new "menu13.prefs".

Added new popup menu class for AppIcons. Don't forget to add your own entries to the new appicons popup menu

"System Info" button in About window is disabled if sysinfo module cannot be found

Opening new icon windows in iconified state could lead to each icon appearing twice after uniconifying window - Fixed. Now wt_LateIconList is cleared at the beginning of ReadIconList()

No icon tool tips are displayed if icon has tooltype "SCALOS_NOTOOLTIPS"

Added new menu commands "sizetofit" and "clearselection"

V39.229

Fixed bug in QueryObjectUnderPointer() - didn't work correctly if Workbench screen wasn't the front-most screen

Added check for ST_LINKFILE, ST_LINKDIR, ST_SOFTLINK before calling isLink()

(OLD) After updating left-out (backdrop) icon, updating the associated disk icon created a new backdrop icon instead of refreshing the old one - Fixed

Icon tooltypes sometimes were not recognised correctly - Fixed

Additionally, there is an unfinished and experimental new feature we're calling "Icon tool tips". If you position your mouse pointer over an icon and hold it there for a few seconds, an information window pops up. The window clears as soon as you move the mouse (this is currently done via popupmenu.library)

V39.228

Changed method of soft link detection to a more system-friendly one

V39.227

Scalos no longer tries to load appchange'd AppIcons when their name contains invalid characters, i.e. ":/"

Scalos now uses AddPart() to add the name of the AppIcon to the "Default icons" path, to make sure there is always a "/" between path and file name

"Leave Out" didn't work for icons without associated files or drawers - Fixed

Icon menu items weren't enabled correctly in text windows - Fixed

"View All" wasn't recognized when initially opening text windows - Fixed

V39.226

Splash window: added 10s timeout when waiting for update message reply

Defined C names for all library bases

Region didn't get freed in class.c/SameWindow() if no icon was moved - Fixed

Additional check for NULL window pointer in Scalos.c/LassoInit()

Moving icons in the same window with "AutoRemove Icons = Off" didn't work properly because registers were trashed in main_subroutines.s/checkposition - Fixed

V39.223

Revision numbers reverted after some internal discussion :)

Removed locking with DragDropSemaphore due to deadlock problems

Changed rendering of window/icon drop zones from complement drawing to separate layers (in Requesters), hopefully eliminating all problems with garbage left in windows

V39.222x25

Fixed crash when icon window was closed or iconified while reading icons and the drawer contained more than 20 icons

Created locking mechanism (via DragDropSemaphore) to prevent window updates during drag'n'drop

Renaming left-out icons will no longer lose their position

Changed window refresh after file system notify: icon update is held back until 2s after last update request. Fixes lengthy repeated icon window updates after changing many items (e.g. "Select All", then "UnShapshot")

Implemented drag threshold, i.e. icons have to be moved more than 4 pixels until the drop zone indicator is drawn. Note that the 4-pixel amount will be made user changeable within Preferences

When modifying icons, icons used to disappear if no associated file existed - Fixed

Icons just left out did not disappear from desktop when volume (disk) was removed - Fixed

Icons could be left out multiple times, leaving several lines in ".backdrop" file - Fixed

V39.222x24

Bug 22: (OLD) ".backdrop" files are now updated when renaming objects - Fixed

Fixed OLD bug in root_handlemessages - stack could be corrupted if message without handler routine was encountered. Possibly also fixes long-standing bug #21. Will check though...

Text mode windows used to show "#?.info" files when UseExAll was off - Fixed

(OLD) Fixed enforcer hits/alerts with "Leave Out" and "Put Away"

(OLD) "Leave Out" didn't work if ".backdrop" had a length of 0 bytes - Fixed

Lasso selection now only affects visible icons (same behaviour as Scalos 1.2d)

Hopefully fixed multiple text window refresh problems

Removed forced drag'n'drop source window update

Window drop box was drawn incorrectly for text windows - Fixed

Added new text window methods: SCCM_TextWin_BeginUpdate, SCCM_TextWin_EndUpdate

IconWinCheckUpdate() now also works with text windows

Converted text window icon reading code to C

Text windows displayed date & time incorrectly: last digit was shown twice - Fixed

Text window columns are now always wide enough to show the column title (e.g. empty drawer in text mode only used to show the last column spanning all window width)

IconActive flag didn't get updated correctly when lasso-selecting icons - Fixed

Left mousebutton click toggles icon selection state when shift is pressed

V39.222x22

Text mode windows used incorrect font - Fixed. Inserted missing SetFont() in DrawTextGadgets()

Special indicator bobs were broken with system bob routines - Fixed

V39.222x21

ReadIconList() failed when called from different WindowTask - Fixed

Prefs option "Hide hidden files" now hides files starting with "." (only in those functions converted to C)

Added a check for an update on source in drag'n'drop copy/move operations

Changed drag'n'drop special indicator handling:
Special bobs initially added to separate list instead of adding to srgh_boblist and then moved to special bob list
drgh_boblist protected by semaphore to prevent DrawDrag() until InitDrag() finishes

Icon drop marks during menu popup didn't get erased properly in simple-refresh windows - Fixed

Fixed directory reading bug with empty file names or files called just ".info"

Special drag'n'drop indicators are now always drawn solid

Fixed an introduced bug in DragDropBobs.c: BlitTrans() handled masks incorrectly when width was a multiple of 16

Bob functions now don't use chip memory if CyberGfxBase is available

Bug 17: Text window column headers flicker when MMB is held down and mouse is moved - Fixed

Removed layout bug in iconwindow cleanup (icons did overlap)

Lasso() now always uses Screen->MouseX/MouseY coordinates

No more offsets between mouse position and lasso corner!

V39.222x20

Scalos now uses 3 (optional) special icons in ENVARC:Scalos/. They show up when performing a drag'n'drop operation:
"forbidden.info" - displayed when no drop allowed
"copying.info" - displayed when icons will be copied
"makelink.info" - (currently unused)

Copying icons can be forced (where otherwise icons would be moved) when you keep the Ctrl qualifier key pressed when you drop the icons. The qualifier will be made user-definable via prefs

While popup menus are shown, the corresponding icons are highlighted

You don't need to explicitly select a Scalos window to display the window popup menu or some icon popup menus - just point your mouse and hit RMB

Finally managed to convert all the drag'n'drop bob stuff to
