    Hi!

     

    Sorry, i don't tihnk it is a good idea to add another hotkey plus extra option for this.

     

    I personally NEVER use DEL to delete files, and i cannot change a hotkey which has been in use for so long.

    Experienced users ill miss it and complain.

     

    When (someday) users will be able to configure hotkeys in NDN as they want you can assign any key to it.

    Hello everyone.

     

    I have 2 subjects that I want to post here since I think more people read the forum than the homepage.

     

    First of all, I would like to ask everyone interested in NDN to vote for it on freshmeat!

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/ndn/

    NDN is quite popular on freshmeat, but somehow only a few people actually rate it.

    Programs only get a CHANCE to get into the top 20 rated programs if at least 20 people rated it.

    I don't know if you have to be registered there to rate (I think so), but if you have a little time and don't want to rate NDN below 0 I would appreciate your help. :)

     

    Last but not least, I have been asked mutliple times the past years where or how to donate something.

    I have finally created a PayPal account in the xmas holidays where interested and caring people can support me (NDN) by donating money. Please read details here http://ndn.muxe.com/donate.php.

     

    No matter what you choose to do, I will appreciate any support a lot.

     

    Thank you for reading.

    Merry Christmas to everyone!

     

    I hope the last release in 2006 will satisfy everyone of you.

     

    See you in 2007. :)

     

    whatsnew:

     

    [!] Merry Christmas to everyone!

    [*] HGL improved the XML (Dandv) and TcL data

    [*] renamed dnotify to notifyd

    [*] moved updview.TUpdView.SetUpdTicks(Sec) to views.TView.SetUpdTicks(Sec)

    [*] fileio.GetFileTime() opened files which didn't work if a file was locked;

    now uses fileio.GetFileTimes() internally which uses FindFirst/Next

    [+] PCRE 7.0: multiline (not only LF) support, new options

    multiline support might need more work on the NDN side

    [*] Name completion: [TAB] to confirm selected keyword/name in completion

    dialog like [sPACE] and [ENTER]

    -> added kbTab handling to namecomp.TNameComp.HandleEvent() and

    namecomp.TNameComp.Execute()

    [+] type "exit" to exit ndn (stonehead)

    -> dnexec._ExecCommandLine(): commandline check for exit

    [*] added mouse wheel: scroll through months

    -> calendar.TCalendarView.HandleEvent()

     

    FILE COPY/MOVE/OPEN/CREATE/DELETE

    [-] W32/LNX: erase/copy files only refreshed with the autofresh code (BmW) [A]

    -> AutoRefresh/CTRL-R or any other reread cannot be allowed to the panel

    where the operation happens (the SOURCE directory)

    -> removed flpanelx.TFilePanelRoot.ChangeLocked from

    fltools.CM_(EraseFiles|CopyFiles|Dropped): the reread happened

    inside the drive erase/copy code, therefore no reread was possible like

    in previous versions -> moved the ChangeLocked code into the drive code

     

    EDITOR

    [-] line swap only worked on shortstrings [A]

    -> microed6.EditorHandleEvent.cmSwapLine used a shortstring instead

    of an ansistring

    [*] added code to en- and disable StoreUndoInfo() in sub functions

    -> TFileEditor.StoreUndoEnable()|StoreUndoDisable()|StoreUndoDisabled

    [+] swap words command

    -> added micro_3.EdSwapCode() which handles Lines and Words, used in

    microed6.EditorHandleEvent()

    -> commands.cmSwapLine, ALT-F8/ALT-SHIFT-F8

    -> Alternate swap: words with based on whitechars

    -> added a Swap menu with normal and alt swap

    [*] added syntax highlight macro commands (edcom.dnr): SwapLines, SwapWords(Alt)

    [-] Horizontal blocks, block delete (DEL, CTRL-DEL) in overwrite mode did not

    insert spaces but behaved like in insert mode (with bad undo/redo) (erno) [A]

    -> micro_1.EdDeleteBlock() now handles overwrite mode with horiz. blocks

    -> micro_2.EdMakeUndo() (EdConvert4Do) created unsuitable udDelBlock Redo

    data and micro_2.EdMakeRedo() did not handle overwrite mode for

    horizontal blocks

    [+] selectable line number display: every line, 5th, 10th (Vladimir Bochkarev)

    -> added commands.edlnEvery(5th|10th)Line, used in microed7.EditorDraw(),

    startup.TEditorDefaultsData.LineNumDisplay

    [+] added 2 operations: Goto Next/Previous Paragraph

    -> added commands.cmFind(Next|Prev)Para, corresponding macro commands

    -> modified micro_3.EdFindParagraph(), added micro_3.FindParagraph()

    -> added a (temporary!) hook of the ALT-LEFT/RIGHT keycodes in

    microed6.EditorHandleEvent()

    -> hotkeys: [CTRL-ALT-LEFT/RIGHT] [CTRL-P Q/W]

    -> added both to the Editor Menu.Paragraph

    [-] char/word count used shortstrings instead of ansi strings [A]

    -> micro_3.EdCountCharsWords() got the strings from the collection via

    .At() and not .AtString()

    [-] CTRL+<first_key> <second_key> combinations didn't allow any input but

    keypresses after the <first_key> [DNOC] (GPFault)

    -> microed6.EditorHandleEvent().ConvertKeycodeToCommand() gets all

    inputs and handles non-keypresses too

     

    VIEWER

    [-] writemodify().CantWrite() msgbox were invisible (desktop locked) []

    see TV MessageBox() update

    [-] killed modified flag even if it couldn't write to file [DNOC]

    -> fviewer.WriteModify(), HandleEvent().cmSave using Retry/ok/Cancel

    [-] switching to editor couldn't be cancelled when file couldn't be saved [DNOC]

     

    EDITOR/VIEWER

    [+] detect file changes and reload file (internal viewer and editor only)

    -> added notifyf, stdefine.FILECHANGENOTIFY, commands.cfHandleModReload

    -> internal editor and viewer only (requires cmReload)

    -> Off/1-5 second configuration in Options.Configuration.System Options

    -> added confirmation: check modified flag on reload (viewer, editor)

    Options.Configuration.Confirmations."Handle modified on reload";

    enabled by default

    [-] the can't write error notification lost file changes since it couldn't

    abort the previous save operation (reload...), it continued after

    pressing OK [DNOC]

    -> continue asking for retry until user chooses ok/cancel in:

    editor: microed6.EditorAskSave(), microed2.EditorSaveFile(As)(),

    microed.TFileEditor.SaveFile(As)()

    viewer: fviewer.TFileViewer.WriteModify()

    -> see TV messages.CantWrite() updates

    [+] operation: goto file [sHIFT-ENTER] like in FIND VFS

    -> sending cmFindGotoFile with dnapp.GlobalEvent() from:

    microed6.EditorHandleEvent().cmEnter,

    fviewer.TFileViewer.HandleEvent().kbEnter,

    dbfview.TDBViewer.HandleEvent().kbEnter

    -> added microed6.EditorHandleEvent().cmFindGotoFile, menu entry "Goto file",

    edcom.cmFindGotoFile/GotoFile macro command

    [+] option to sort bookmarks after position

    -> added commands.cmSortBookmarks [CTRL-0]

    -> microed6.EditorHandleEvent().cmSortBookmarks

    fviewer.TFileViewer.HandleEvent().cmSortBookmarks

    microed.TBookMarkLine.Sort()

     

    SYNTAX HIGHLIGHT

    [-] syntax highlight did not display black (Garl) [A]

    -> highlite.InitHighLight.GetCurrentColor() used 0 as signal that no color

    was found, but 0 == black -> changed signal to $ff

    -> removed usage and commented highlite.InitHighLight.LoCaseColors

    [-] crash if multiline comments exceeded internal conversion buffer size

    (Dandv) [NC]

    -> highlite.InitHighLight().AppendString() copied more data than the

    given buffer size was

    -> see the updated help for the actual buffer size (Dan!)

     

    TURBOVISION: VIEWS/DIALOGS/MENUS/OBJECTS

    [*] messages.MessageBox() will check and handle locked Desktop internally;

    removed all manual locked/lock/unlock checks (fviewer,microed6,vfs_arcv)

    [*] improved messages.CantWrite() to receive the button setup

    -> added (commands|ndn.dnl).dlRetryButton

    [+] added objects.(TPoint|TRect).Swap()

    [+] added views.GetMaskedEvent(var Event: TEvent; Mask: Integer) to get

    custom events, like Mouse AND Keypresses - see TView.KeyEvent()

     

    VIRTUAL FILE SYSTEMS (VFS)

    [-] FTP: adding a new FTP server to the list didn't save options and first

    2 timeouts (Garl) [A]

    -> vfs_ftp.TFTPDrive.UseFile().cmXEditFile overwrote the first values

    in the TFileRec.AddData storage; added HostDlgAddData() which

    is used in cmXEditFile and cmEditFile

     

    FILE PANEL

    [-] context menu & help -> help didn't disappear [A]

    -> contextm.p_OpenWinMenuInTV() used (for some reason) P.Execute() and

    helper code instead of the views.TGroup.ExecView() code; hopefully

    i introduced no problems with making this change

     

    HELP

    [-] help window open, non dialog, open dialog, open help -> help window cannot

    be closed anymore [A]

    -> added helpfile.THelpWindow.CanBeInserted(), used in

    helpfile.THelpViewer.HandleEvent().cmHelp and

    dnutil.TDnApplication.HandleCommand().cmHelp:

    check whether we are allowed to use the existing window or we have to

    open a new one

    Hello naX!

     

    Thanks for your interest. I have added all interesting information to my todo list.

     

    You mean a new file option that simply creates a file with no content?

     

    No, the color of the numbers is the same as the line, i don't think it would be

    very useful to have different colors for line and numbers.

     

    The reason is that if you have a directory open in NDN it is locked and you cannot

    remove the drive (data loss). This is no NDN feature but depends on the operating

    system.

     

    Bye

    Hey dan.

     

    using mutliple COMMENT statements works,

    the problem with the PERL hgl definition is the "a_unique...." string

     

    the internal collection buffer is limited to $30 characters.

    comments are not supposed to be that big, so the buffer size is suffucient

     

    there was a bad implementation in the highlight code which filled the buffer

    over it's limits, that crashed the system

     

    i changed the unique string to _-_-_

     

    best wishes

    hey naX

     

    It is posible that the ndn detects automatically My Documents path?

    I use the ndn in different pc's, so I copy it in my usb. I think is an excelent idea to do it portable.

    hm, of course it is, but you can also do it ith ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

    try "%userprofile%\my documents"

     

    I have a free multi-format viewer (Universal Viewer or ATViewer) and I copy the exe into the ndn path. I wrote in ndn.vwr (in my usb):

     

    jpg,bmp,gif,htm,html : "<usb drive>:\Programas\ndn\viewer\Viewer.exe" "!:!\!.!"

     

    But when I copy ndn to other pc and disconnect my usb, I have to change the path:

     

    jpg,bmp,gif,htm,html : "<local drive>:\<other path>\ndn\viewer\Viewer.exe" "!:!\!.!"

     

    So, it is posible that a Macro can tell us what path the ndn.exe is running in? In this way, we will have something like this:

     

    jpg,bmp,gif,htm,html : "<macro>\viewer\Viewer.exe" "!:!\!.!"

     

    This is useful in archivier, and in other settings.

     

    very good idea!

    i will add this to the list

     

    And what about the fonts? It is possible to change the type of them (Arial, verdana, and so on; not bold, italic, and so on)?

     

    sorry, this is not possible from inside a console program i am afraid

    at least i haven't found any WIN API call related to this

     

    have a nice weekend

    hey garl

     

    1. good idea, but highlight fd as removable too

     

    2. i only read the context menu from windows, with some bugs obviously

    adding new code is not easy at all and i don't want to do that

    i suggest adding it from windows

     

    no way to read the context menu from dpmi :(

     

    3. hm....

    is it really useful? does it help the user?

     

    isn't it easier to look it up on the internet?

     

     

    thank you

    hi erno.

     

    wish 2.

    well, i am not sure, i cannot add more options concerning this, else it ill be too confusing

    there is also the possiblity to move blocks with alt+up/down ....

     

    wish 3.

    i dont see the sense behind this option, as i sad above, there are already TOO many confusing

    options concerning blocks

    this new option/operation: how to call it? how to turn it on off? what is the reason for implementing it?

     

    the swap words idea is nice, i don't know why to do the "keep all marked" operation

    (it's more than just an option)

     

    block behaviour:

    because there are so many options you should provicde more information on your editor setup

     

    thank you

    Hi Hunter

     

    i can open context menus on '..' without a crash,

    although i just tried on a very big directory and you are right, ndn just left without error message

     

    does it work on smaller directories?

     

    and opening any operation on '..' makes the operation work on all files in that drectory

    that is standard in NDN

     

    thanks for the hint

    hey all

     

    not as much news as last time, but enough to release it :)

     

    [*] added fileio.Exists() which can be used to check wether a file or dir

    exists

    -> added fileio.ExistMain() which returns a boolean and attributes:

    Exists(), ExistFile() and ExistDir() all use this method internally

    [*] LNX: disabled "Edit OS environment" since it's not yet supported

    [*] D32 merged several duplicated functions from the main code back with the

    modifications into vpsysd32: disk._SysGetValidDrives,

    disk._SysGetDriveType, winclp.(_SysClipCanPaste|_SysClipCopy|_SysClipPaste)

    [*] added standard header macros to HGL file:

    LINUX shell scripts: #!/bin/bash

    ANSI C/C++ sources: include, main()

    PASCAL: program uses begin end / unit interface implementation end.

    JAVA: package import public class public static void main

    C#: using System public class main static void Main()

    ASM: TASM TINY and FLAT IDEAL modes

    [*] HGL: improved the VB *.FRM definition -> disable '' string highlight

    [*] D32: replaced all "Sound(5000); DelayTics(1); NoSound;" implementations

    with the standard "SysBeepEx(5000, 1000);"

    -> dialogs, filecopy, histries

    -> commented advance0.(Sound|NoSound) functions

     

    FILE COPY/MOVE/OPEN/CREATE/DELETE

    [*] Eraser: beep if operation took longer than 30s {G}

    -> eraser.EraseFiles() uses BeepAfterCopy()

    [-] DW32: readonly flags from subdirectories were never cleared [A]

    -> filecopy.FilesCopy().CopyF() did not clear r/o

    [+] copy/move: added clear readonly option

    -> filecopy: added cpoClearRO option check wherever CDROM checks

    were made

     

    DBF VIEWER

    [*] quite some updates to the db viewer {G}

     

    HELP

    [*] added CSV file topic {G}

     

    FILE PANEL

    [+] auto driveline refresh (AndyRay)

    -> added commands.cmDriveLineRefresh, handled by flpanel.TFilePanel.HandleEvent()

    and sent by disk.TDriveInfo.UpdateTimer if a drive change happened

    -> added disk.TDriveInfo.UpdateTimer + UpdView

    -> refresh timer option setup to options.file manager.setup:

    startup.TFMSetup.DriveLineRefresh, default = 3 seconds

    -> LNX counts the lines in /etc/mounts to detect changes, DW32 use

    SysGetValidDrives

    -> added updview.SetUpdTicks() and SetUpdTicksSec()

    [+] auto update of [ALT-F1/F2] / drive selection windows and update via [F3] (Garl)

    -> modified filescol.SelectDrive(), added filescol.SelectDrive().UpdateMenu,

    added event callback handling to close the menu from SelectDrive() code

    [+] W32/LNX: panel auto refresh on directory changes (local drives) (AndyRay)

    -> added dnotify which holds all the notification interface code

    W32: Find(First|Next|Close)ChangeNotification

    LNX: fcntl(), F_SETSIG|F_NOTIFY

    -> some ideas from DNOSPW: NotifyResume|Suspend, NotifierCollection

    (but I added a reference count for each directory)

    -> added stdefine.DIRCHANGENOTIFY

    -> setup in Options.File Manager.Setup

    -> added ChangeLocked check to

    flpanelx.TFilePanelRoot.CommandHandle.(_ForceRescan|_DoRereadDir)

    -> added ChangeLocked set to fltools.(CM_CopyFiles|CM_Dropped)

    [*] QuickDir window [ALT-SHIFT-0] uses the X size of the Desktop

    -> dnutil.TDnApplication.HandleCommand.DoQuickChange()

     

    TURBOVISION: VIEWS/DIALOGS/MENUS/OBJECTS

    [+] added TView.HandleEvent() to menus.TMenuView.HandleEvent()

    [+] added.views.TView.EventCallbackHandler : function (View: PView; var Event: TEvent): boolean;

    used in views.TView.HandleEvent(), can be used to handle events from outside

    of a view

    [-] delta was not used to track mouse in menus [A]

    -> menus.THugeMenuBox.GetItemRect() now uses Delta instead of BeyondTop()

     

    KEYBOARD

    [*] the dead key delay (ALT and CTRL at the moment) is disabled if one of the 2

    keys is selected as quicksearch hotkey (BmW/Dandv)

    SYNTAX HIGHLIGHT

    will use multiline comments automatically

    -> highlite.TCommentTypeCollection.CommentSingle holds single line comments

    until we can decide if we use multiline or single line commenting

    [-] filenames without wildcards did never match [A]

    -> highlite.InitHighLight().FileMatch() did provide the complete filename

    with path, now only gives the name to the wild card matching code

     

    DNEXEC/EXTERNAL VIEWER/EDITOR DNEXEC.EXECUTEFILEEXT/LOCAL_GLOBAL_MENUS

    [-] LNX: checked %[0-9] replacing in usermenus etc.

    -> previous %3 -> $$3 replacing in usermenu.(ExecUserMenu|QuickExecExternal)
