F M A P P L I C ( N T ) 1 . 1 ( b ) ---------------------------------------- December 15, 1993 This file contains the latest information regarding FM Applic (NT). For more information, please read the following files: AAINTRO.TXT - Introduction to FM Applic. INSTALL.TXT - Installation instructions. REGISTER.TXT - Important registration information. New Features with Version 1.1 ----------------------------- The following new features were introduced with FM Applic 1.1: o Auto-Load Application Icons Stay on Top of the File Manager The "Keep On Top" option has been added to the Application Properties dialog box. If you select this option, the application's icon will stay on top of the File Manager window. This feature allows you to Drag-Drop files to your auto-load applications even if the File Manager window is expanded to full size. o "Crop" Icon Shrinkage Method The "Crop" icon shrinkage method has been added to the Change Button dialog box. If you select this option, a 16x15 section from the upper left hand corner of the icon is copied pixel for pixel, to the toolbar button (i.e. no shrinkage is performed). This feature allows you to create a custom toolbar button using your favorite icon editor. Create your image in the upper left hand corner (16 pixels wide by 15 pixels high) of the icon. o "Unknown" File Status in File Prompt (%@FP) Argument Field The File Prompt argument field now accepts UNKNOWN as a keyword for file-status. Use this keyword if the application can accept a new file or an existing file. This will display a File Name dialog box. o NTFS Long Filenames Supported The "Long Filenames" option has been added to the Application Properties dialog box. Select this option if the application supports NTFS long filenames. Fixes/Additions with Version 1.1b ------------------------------- 1. Removes temporary files left from previous executions. 2. Problems with toolbar buttons disappearing from the toolbar has been fixed. 3. More "application descriptions" were added. 4. Icon buttons available in FMAPPLIC.DLL. Use the "crop" icon shrinkage method to view them properly. Known Problems -------------- 1. Auto-loaded Windows 3.1 applications do not get closed when the File Manager exits. 2. "Keep On Top" does not work with Windows 3.1 applications. FM Applic Support on CompuServe is Now Available!
