Short: V2.5 Expands WBStartup capabilities. Author: johughes@heartland.bradley.edu (John Hughes) Uploader: johughes@heartland.bradley.edu (John Hughes) Type: util/boot Program: WBStartup+ Version: 2.5 Date: October 23, 1995 Coded by: John Hughes Email: johughes@heartland.bradley.edu WWW: http://rhf.bradley.edu/~jhughes/ Compiled with: SAS/C 6.56 Machine: A4000 68EC030/25 AmigaDOS 3.1 Distribution: Postcardware (public domain) Required: AmigaDOS 2.0 or above The Prefs program requires AmigaDOS 3.0 or above Included: WBStartup+ for OS2.x and 3.x WBStartup+ for OS3.x WBStart-Handler v1.4 Documentation in AmigaGuide format MagicWB icons Features: o Easy to use GUI preferences program for OS3.x. o Lets you choose the order in which the startup programs run. o Lets you enable and disable the running of each program quickly. o Allows you to have access to Workbench while all of your startup programs are being loaded. o Can be disabled at startup by holding left shift key down. o Progress window shows the icon of the program that is being loaded, and a progress bar with userdefine window background. New Features in Version 2.5: Now supports Localization. Included catalogs: Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Norsk, Svenska. Holding the Ctrl key down when WBStartup+ is run will cause WBStartup+Prefs to be run before any programs are loaded, allowing you to choose which programs get loaded. Holding the left Alt key when WBStartup+ is run causes the user to be asked which of the enabled programs should be run. Added PREFSPATH tooltype to WBStartup+ icon. This is the location of the preferences file. Program names are shown in WBStartup+'s progress window. If the case of the letters in the filename and icon name varied, the same program name would be recognized as two different programs. This is now fixed. Added Cancel and Ok gadgets to the Copy File window. The OS3.x version of WBStartup+ was getting it's bottom border of the prefs window overwritten by the background pattern under the right icon image, if the user was using sysihack. WBStartup+ now recognizes the WAIT= tooltype as the # of seconds to wait before loading the next program. WBStartup+ now recognizes the TOOLPRI= tooltype as the priority that the program should have when running. The DELAY= tooltype is now obsolete, therefore it has been removed. WBStartup+ now knows if it has already been run, and if it is run more than once, the user will see a requester asking if it is ok to run it again. The STARTUPPRI tooltype is no longer recognized, please use STARTPRI instead. When the WBStartup+Prefs window is opened on a virtual screen, it is centered vertically in the visible section, and is 100 pixels to the right of the leftmost visible section. The Amiga Workbench x.x text is now properly centered in WBStartup+'s progress window. The busy pointer is now shown when a secondary window is opened, such as the Priority Window. Sizing the main window is now impossible when a secondary window is opened since IDCMP is cut off. Priority Window is now activated when opened. You may use the keyboard up and down arrow keys to change the selected element in the listview gadget. New Features in Version 2.4: Was allocating one byte less than needed for groupnames when creating them from the menu. When resizing the window, the gadgets are remade, but glist was not initialized to NULL again. WBStartup+ now sets the stack size for each loaded program, although WBStart-Handler seems to not always use the exacts stack size specified. Was allocating sizeof(struct Node) instead of sizeof(struct WBStartupNode) in the OS2.x version of WBStartup+. New Features in Version 2.3: The WBStartup+Prefs window is now a WB AppWindow, so ou can drop icons into it and a requester appears asking you if you want to copy or move the files to the enabled or disabled directory. Was allocating pathname size, and deallocating filename size. Possible program crash removed due to another forgotten glist=NULL. Add "..." to some menu items. New Features in Version 2.2: Bug Fix: WBStartup+ sometimes crashed when the PROGRESSWINDOW tooltype was diabled. New Features in Version 2.1: Now uses Memory Pooling instead of AllocVec(). Fixed potential bug in a list structure when alphabetizing. Received permission to include L:WBStart-Handler in this archive. Archive has moved to Aminet:util/boot Removed accidental FreePool() when "Delete Group" was done, and there were no groups. Enforcer Hit removed: forgot to initialize glist=NULL before CreateContext(). Did I release V2.0 WBStartup+Prefs with a missing tail parenthesis in two path tooltypes? Sorry. A requester now appears when you quit without saving, and there was a group modification. WBStartup+ now has an optional Progress Indicator when it runs, whick can have a user defined background. Changed the name of drawer icon images, so they don't have parenthises in them, that way they can be archived with lzx. They are copyied by the installer script and given their proper default names with parenthises. Included a WBStartup+ version for OS2.x and OS3.x Updated installer script to recognize OS2.x and OS3.x ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1240 794 35.9% 09-Nov-95 21:27:44 WBStartup+V2.5.info 1240 836 32.5% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Disabled_Icon.info 1240 852 31.2% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Enabled_Icon.info 3586 1093 69.5% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Install 1931 990 48.7% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Install.info 2628 1647 37.3% 01-Nov-95 23:33:44 +WBStart-Handler 1233 593 51.9% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Locale.info 1482 823 44.4% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Deutsch.catalog 1448 806 44.3% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Français.catalog 1348 754 44.0% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Italiano.catalog 4182 1790 57.1% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +MYLANGUAGE.ct 1619 999 38.2% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +MYLANGUAGE.ct.info 1292 718 44.4% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Norsk.catalog 1302 733 43.7% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +Svenska.catalog 9940 5664 43.0% 01-Nov-95 23:33:44 +WBStartup+ 1370 1047 23.5% 01-Nov-95 23:33:44 +WBStartup+.info 11980 6737 43.7% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +WBStartup+ 1400 1071 23.5% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +WBStartup+.info 23532 12364 47.4% 01-Nov-95 23:33:44 +WBStartup+Prefs 1785 1377 22.8% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +WBStartup+Prefs.info 24490 8473 65.4% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +WBStartup+.guide 2084 1594 23.5% 01-Nov-95 23:33:42 +WBStartup+.guide.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 102352 51755 49.4% 10-Nov-95 17:41:20 22 files
