ChangeLog
May 26th 2002: Version 2.5.0
- added native chown
- added focus handling for the gui
use tab/shift-tab to switch to next/prev element
use space to activate an element
return is handled like clicking at okay (only when focus is not on any button of the bottom line (except okay of course))
- you can now use as many shortkeys as you want for one button/hotkey/path
- double shortkeys are also possible now (like Ctrl-x c)
- filterselect, filterunselect and setfilter now have a history for used patterns
- for chmod/chown "Request these flags" is now on as default
- when running worker as root, the statebar turns red and the window title is "rootWorker"
- faster startup (especially for big window)
- worker now stores the position of the listview correctly when switching to other displaymode (informationmode, show image mode)
- improved speed for filetype recognition (especially for big directories)
- when deleting/moving files in some cases the progress-window wasn't updated correctly
- fixed drawing/refresh problems for delete
- fixed crash when mainwindow is too small (reported by Josef Oswald)
- fixed bug in statebar calculation
6.Apr 2002: Version 2.4.0
- filetype-recognition is now done by threads
this result in faster recognition at fast devices and no more waiting for slow devices (like floppydiscs)
Thread-support can be disabled
- partition-size-reading is now also done by a thread
- own command got a new option "Run in background"
Background commands will be disconnected from the Worker-process and won't be killed when worker quits
- date/time format is now configurable (in "Global configuration") and there is also name-substitution for today, yesterday,...
- added sortmodes for type and owner
- configuration import/export added (buttons/filetypes/hotkeys)
- changed behaviour and requester when disc is full while copying
You can now choose to keep the incomplete file or delete it but in any case the sourcefile isn't deleted (which was done when
"Okay" was chosen in the requester)
reported by Rick Younie
- reload got a new option "Keep filetypes"
- dirsize will rebuild listview for each calculated element
reported by Dirk Weber
- show/rawshow/user/...-actions are now also applicable to the active entry

9.1.2002: Version 2.3.1
- improved top statebar (Thanks to Martin Kähmer)

- new command "activate shortkey from list"
You can choose shortkey from a list and activate it
useful for forgotten shortkeys or as an overview of all defined shortkeys
- fixed calculation of "bytes to copy"
- copy/delete-windows are now resizeable
also filename/dirname will be shorten to fit in the window
- compiles (and runs :-) ) on Mac OS X (Darwin)
(Thanks to Malcolm Cleland)
5.11.2001: Version 2.3.0
- some changes for gcc 3.0 but I have no chance to test it, reports are welcome
- new option for delete-function to remove the active entry when no other are selected
- new option for reload-function to reset the previous calculated dir sizes

- middleclick in the listview will just activate the entry without changing the selection state
- fixed problem with dynamic coloumnwidth when filters are active and excluding some files
- fixed problem when changing filters or showHidden-mode, which could stopped the filerecognition
- dirs containing files which can't be stat-ed will now also be displayed (without these files but there will be a requester for each file)

when set, the permissions/owner/modificationtime/accesstime will be restored
(as far as possible)
default is on
- a corrupt symlink will now be treated as file
- the colors for the active entry can now be changed
- improved search-operation:
- a recall will search the next entry with the same prefix
- stars (*) are also supported now so it's possibly to search for file containing the pattern inside the filename
a trailing star is always implied
20.3.2001: Version 2.2.0
- sortmode change with the action will update the lvb
- fixed problem with giving a startdir relative to the current dir
(Martin Kaehmer)
- worker_inst exists no longer, Worker will do it instead
- it's now configurable what to show in the clockbar
the configuration can be reached by a new subsection in the config-win
it can show the time/ram, only the time, the worker version (for no system load) and the output of any external program
- the correct background color is taken for the "show image mode"
(rno)
- in the button/path-configurations the actionmodes (copy/swap/delete) can stay active until other choose when selecting "extended" in the same
window in the new cyclebutton
this is useful for copying/swapping/deleting more than one button/path
- dirs can now ignored for filetype-checking (exactly: in this dirs only the pattern is used (if used))
the new configuration can be found in the filetype-settings
this is useful for slow devices like a floppydisc

N = namesort
S = sizesort
M = modificationtime-sort
A = accesstime-sort
C = changetime-sort
R = reverse
- the ".."-entry is now always active for loaded dirs which are not in the cache
- new flag for the "own command": {dp} for the destination path of a DND-action
- the requester for existing file in copy/move now shows the size and modificationtime of both files

(Thanks to Rick Younie, Harlock)

(Thanks to Martin Kaehmer,Harlock)
Note:This only affects the display of sizes; Worker can of course handle files of any size on every system!
- no longer displays readable but not executable dirs (r--)
side effect: dirsize will not show weird values
- for own commands and string requests, Cancel will really cancel the operation
(Thanks to Rick Younie)
- in the configuration, the "Choose Command"-requester is now sorted and also resizeable
(Thanks to Rick Younie)
- the partitionsize/freespace of the actual dir can be shown in the listviewbar
(Thanks to Rick Younie,Martin Kaehmer)
- the display of owner/group is switchable ("user @ group" or "user.group")
(Thanks to Rick Younie)
- the ".."-entry is no longer selectable nor it will be counted
(Thanks to Martin Kaehmer)
- rewrote xliwrapper_worker and worker.inst (now worker_inst) in C
- fixed foreground of empty buttons in the example-configurations
(Thanks to Rick Younie)
- finally DND is usable
To activate: Select the entry and hold the left mousebutton, then click the right.
Now move to destination and
release the left button.
You can cancel DND with Escape or a rightclick when dragging!
If there is no DND-action defined for the type of the dragged entry, the DND-action from the "NoSelect"-type is used!
Limitations:- You can only drag one entry
- This works only inside Worker
