Short: V2.4 FC/FW/PV/PGS/GE recent-docs lister Author: Ron Goertz Uploader: rgoertz wsu edu Type: util/rexx Replaces: RecentDocs.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos Recent-Document Requestor v2.4 for Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, PageStream v3.1, and GoldEd This emailware/postcardware package consists primarily of: RecentDocsListerO.rexx - Will generate a list of recently-opened documents when used in conjunction with the "Open" icon in Final Calc or Final Writer, or when used in conjuction with an "Open" macro in ProVector,PageStream, or GoldEd. RecentDocsListerS.rexx - Will generate a list of recently-opened documents when used in conjunction with the "Save" icon in Final Calc or Final Writer, or when used in conjuction with a "Save" macro in ProVector, PageStream, or GoldEd. RecentDocsRequestor.rexx - Brings up a requestor allowing you to choose from your recently-opened Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, PageStream, or GoldEd docs. The most recently opened documents will be at the top of the list. Also allows deletion of docs from the recent-docs list. History: v2.4 - Selecting the Open gadget in the recent-docs requestor without having a file selected will now bring up the standard open-file requestor instead of exiting. v2.3 - Added support for GoldEd. I use the unregistered v3.1.3. v2.2b - Macros can now be located anywhere, not just in REXX:. If the locations are changed, remember to modify the the buttons and macros used to call the RecentDocs macros. v2.2a - Utility for forcing Final Calc's screen to be public instead of private included (see details for installing TruePub by Timo Kaikumaa in the Final Calc installation instructions). Utility for forcing windows to open on the front-most public screen included (see details for installing FrontPub by Gunther Nikl in the installation instructions). Code for redefining public screen (see v2.1 above) removed. Allows even more flexibility in changing names of macros. v2.2 - The recent-docs requestor now has a Delete function to delete files from the list. Note that this only deletes files from the recent- docs list and not from your drive! Thanks to Achim Klopsch for this suggestion! The macros can now be renamed, following certain limitations (see installation). Thanks again to Achim Klopsch! v2.1 - Can be used with Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, and PageStream. Now requires rexxreqtools.library in addition to rexxtricks.library. Temporarily redefines the current public screen to encourage requestors to open on the appropriate screens. I didn't run into this problem, but Heiko Schröder did and offered a correction for it. Thanks Heiko! Note that FinalCalc does not open on a public screen and therefore will not allow requestors to open on its screen. Location of macros has changed; they are now stored in REXX: to allow having a single copy of the macros available for use by all programs. This requires changes to previously modified Final Calc buttons and user.menu as well as to Final Writer Button Strips and User Menus. If this is not your first installation, make sure you read the installation instructions for each application! v2.0 - Can be used with both Final Calc and Final Writer. Now uses rexxtricks.library. Adds both saved and opened files to the recent-docs list. Format of recent-docs list changed; remove any RecentDocs.txt files created with v1.0. v1.0 - First release.
