File pattern filter added to search bar, and maintained separately for each search type. Interact with results as they are found, or continue to use all other parts of the SDK Browser as the search continues in the background. Search will continue even when hidden or iconified, and is controllable from the commodity exchange as well. o New History Bar added. Quickly return to any of the last 20 items that have been viewed previously. Browse forward or back with the arrow buttons, or pull down and select a new position within the browser history. The history bar works like a combination of a web browser forward and back buttons and a rotating 20 item tabbed display. Giving you the flexibility to quickly work with the last 20 items that have been referenced already. o Support for more than one interface(API) found within the same library. If the XML file for a given library contains more than one interface for accessing that library, then the SDK Browser will create a new browsable Library tree for each interface and name them with their respective interface name. This is also why the Interface name was added to each library entry under the Library list. o Many new improvements too numerous to list here. Other Features found in this release: o "True" Mouse-Wheel support using the new OS4 standard mouse-wheel events. Use Mouse-Wheel with qualifiers for even more browsing controls: Mouse-Wheel only = Vertical Scrolling(move up/down) Mouse-Wheel w/Shift = Horizontal Scrolling(shift left/right) Mouse-Wheel w/Alt = Vertical Scrolling(page up/page down) Mouse-Wheel w/Ctrl = Vertical Scrolling(home/end) o AppWindow/AppIcon support: Drag-n-Drop text files onto the SDK Browser window or Icon for quick viewing. o Faster than ever before using newly optimized viewing routines and less disk access. o Quick find ANY item in the active list just by typing the first few letters of its name. o "Includes" browsing. Live browse the system includes using the new embedded directory scanner. o Convenient "Send To" menu for launching a helpful set of external viewers right from the SDK Browser. Quickly open source files into the editor of your choice, or open HTML files directly into your web browser of choice. You can also launch the currently selected file with "MultiView", "AmiPDF", or even "Unarc" those archives. o New keyboard controls to enhance the existing "mouse-over" focused movement keys and "mouse-wheel" support. TAB rotates the main chooser under the "SDK" tab. a-z "urgent" keys can be used for quick find indexing within a given list. ALT+TAB rotates between "SDK" and "File Browser" tabs. CTRL+TAB rotates through the different Search Methods CTRL+CURSOR LEFT or RIGHT work the same as the FWD and BACK buttons in the Browser History bar. Also "," "." "/" are now "Parent", "Enter", and "Root", respectively.) o Programmable SDK Paths. You can now specify up to 10 XML Interface paths, 10 AutoDoc paths, and 10 Include file search paths, as well as a default "Project" path. o Programmable EDITOR and WEBBROWSER tooltypes (see below) for use by the "Send To" menu. Commands and Tooltypes:(Default Settings) ----------------------------------------- CX_POPUP=YES CX_PRIORITY=0 CX_POPKEY=f1 PUBSCREEN= HIDEKEY=esc LEFT= TOP= WIDTH= HEIGHT= CENTERED= <-- This option overrides the LEFT and TOP values (if specified) Each XML path listed below will be scanned for Interface Library Descriptor files (IDL) and decoded to build the "Library" and "Commands" lists. Do not override XML_PATH1 unless you know what you are doing. (Default values are listed below as well) XML_PATH1 = "SDK:Include/interfaces/" XML_PATH2 = "SDK:Local/Documentation/MUI-3.9/xml/" XML_PATH3 = XML_PATH4 = XML_PATH5 = XML_PATH6 = XML_PATH7 = XML_PATH8 = XML_PATH9 = XML_PATH10 = Each AutoDoc path listed below will be scanned in to build the "AutoDocs" list. All files found under these paths will be added to the list as an AutoDoc (this is so we do not filter out any normal text files like "bootstrap.txt" or "rad.txt" that we actually want to keep). Do not override AUTODOC_PATH1 unless you know what you are doing. (Default values are listed below) AUTODOC_PATH1 = "SDK:Documentation/AutoDocs/" AUTODOC_PATH2 = "SDK:Local/Documentation/AutoDocs/" AUTODOC_PATH3 = "SDK:Local/Documentation/MUI-3.9/AutoDocs/" AUTODOC_PATH4 = AUTODOC_PATH5 = AUTODOC_PATH6 = AUTODOC_PATH7 = AUTODOC_PATH8 = AUTODOC_PATH9 = AUTODOC_PATH10 = Each Include path listed here will be searched in order when The SDK Browser needs to find a specific header file. The first two paths should only be changed to the correct system header location (like if your SDK is not found under SDK:). The first path also provides the "root" location for the "Includes" directory scan lister. You are allowed to "parent" above it to browse other areas of the SDK, and the "Root" button or keyboard "/" key will provide an easy way to get back again. INCLUDE_PATH1 = "SDK:Include/include_h/" INCLUDE_PATH2 = "SDK:Include/netinclude/" INCLUDE_PATH3 = "SDK:Local/common/include/" INCLUDE_PATH4 = "SDK:newlib/include/" INCLUDE_PATH5 = "SDK:Local/newlib/include/" INCLUDE_PATH6 = "SDK:clib2/include/" INCLUDE_PATH7 = "SDK:Local/clib2/include/" INCLUDE_PATH8 = INCLUDE_PATH9 = INCLUDE_PATH10 = The PROJECT_PATH is the default path for the "File Browser" tab's directory list. This is strictly for your own use, so set it to anywhere you want. Like the first path of the "Includes", the path you specify here can be returned to at any time using the "Root" button or "/" keyboard command. This "root" location is reset every time you use the GetFile gadget under the "Project" tab to select a new path location. PROJECT_PATH = SDK: The next two tooltypes are used to specify what editor and web browser are to be used by the "Send To" menu. Make sure to use a full path here to your program of choice. The full path and filename of the selected file is added after the values defined below for each program. For example the default for EDITOR is: "SYS:Utilities/NotePad ". EDITOR = SYS:Utilities/NotePad WEBBROWSER = IBrowse:IBrowse *** About BITbyBIT: *** BITbyBIT Software Group LLC was formed in November of 2003 by Jamie Krueger as a new software development company dedicated to producing high quality software for the latest release of the Amiga(tm) operating system, AmigaOS4(tm).
