Introduction:
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
OK, so it is another one of those Windoze Start button lookalikes. However,
with this one you can browse your directory tree without ever needing to wait
for icons to load, because they are loaded dynamically. In addition, icons are
shown for files that do not have icons (based on filetype) and thumbnails are
created on the fly for Jpeg pictures. Most importantly, Dynamite is a lot
faster in loading icons, especially default icons, than Workbench / DOpus.

Features
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · Easy browsing to directories, starting files (with filetype recognition) and
   performing file management (copy, rename, delete, etc.).
 · From the start button you can browse your (virtual) directory tree; at the
   same time the dock icons next to the start button provide additonal browsers.

 · You can drop icons on icon images to change the image or on hotlists to add
   items to the hotlist.

 · Supports old, NewIcons and OS3.5 icon formats (and conversion to OS3.5 format)
 · Shows default icons for files that do not have icons, based on filetype.
 · Shows 1/8 size thumbnails for Jpeg pictures, created on the fly.
 · Can scale all icons/thumbnails to a specified size.

 Dynamite is faster in displaying icons than Workbench / DOpus, because:
 · Only those icons are loaded that are on the current and next two "pages".
 · Only one default icon is loaded for each filetype and reused for every file
   of the same type.
 · You don't have to wait for the icons or thumbnails to finish loading.

 · Files and directories can be added to various hotlists or as dock icons.
 · Supports the creation of hierarchical hotlist structures, i.e. you can have
   one hotlist opening another and that one another, ...

 · Filetype recognition is based on file extensions. The "def_*.info" files in
   the "EnvArc:sys/" directory are used as default icons (e.g. "def_doc.info"
   for a "*.doc" file). The "Default Tool" entry is used to open a file and an
   "EDIT" tooltype can be specified as an alternative tool.

 · Memory pools are used to reduce memory fragmentation.

Version History

Important: a lot of changes have happened, be sure to read the documentation!

Dynamite 2.2:
 · You can drop icons on all windows: dropping on the start button will change
   the image (and icon of the program); dropping on the dock window will add the
   files/dirs as dock icons; dropping on icon images in browsers will change the
   icon image; dropping in hotlist browsers (not on an image) will add the
   files/dirs to the hotlist.
 · You can drop an icon an a file without icon to a) make a new icon for the
   file, b) create a new default icon for files with that extension or c)
   replace the default icon image if it already exists.
 · Removed bug when using "choose" feature and closing the source window.

Dynamite 2.1:
 · No more duplicate filenames when copying from one browser to another when
   files with the same name already exist. As a side-effect, all duplicates in
   hotlists are now also discarded.
 · During copy/move for which destination existed, copy/move would continue also
   when SKIP was chosen from the Delete requester or the file/dir could not be
   deleted for other reasons. Copy would then fail anyway, but for a move the
   source would be deleted without copying ! This has been fixed.
   Also, a failed copy will get a proper requester now.

Dynamite 2.0:
 · Bit of a rewrite(!) Now instead of recursively opened browser windows, all
   windows are now independantly. So you can work in all opened browser windows
   at the same time, and operations like copy and add hotlist will update the
   target window immediately.
 · The dock icons provide additional starting points for browsing; each button
   can open its own directory tree.
 · A lot of other changes, too (see for yourself).
