Yes, yes Nils, it works that way in the moment :-).

Should, but aren't in the moment :-).

I would recommend:

Read(fh, buffer, 1024);
MatchPatternNoCase(pattern, buffer);

Sounds not hard at all %-).

Hello, All

I have noticed that sometimes whilst DM2 is loaded i cant open/load/save
anything in other programs that are also running, for some reason DM2
seems to be blocking the requesters, this dont happen all the time just
now and then, when it does happen if i quit DM2 all is fine, the
requesters start to appear again, so far i have only seen this problem
when using the following apps: IB2.1, V3, CED4.20 and WebDesign2.0
has anybody else come across this problem?

Kind regards

I think that it would end up in too much overhead. Imagine a 5 MB file (eg.
MP3) and you have something like #?TMFX as "AddAutoCommand". DM2 would have
to scan the whole 5 MB for it...And image even when you have more entries
of this type...or think about a text file that includes the word TMFX, it
would be recognized as a TMFX file...pp.

I think it is quiet useful as it is.

Hi there,

What about to extend AddAutoCommand capacities to support also the "#"
  in the AmigaDos style?

E.G.: AddAutoCommand #?TFMX, Extern HIp HIDE %s

Thanks for reporting Fredrik!
I already noticed it myself but hadn`t had time to correct it, yet.


Time for a little status-report.

I got company now in updating DM2.

First of all Jody Tierney surprised me with the offer to write
a new reader which now already is integrated into DM2.

Then Hynek Schlawack offered to help and did a great job so far
on re-writing the menu-code which is now based on gadtools.

Coordinating this efforts took my time...

Uff! - I did not know this function. Do you know some more

I can confirm this and more worth, my system crashes badly when i try to open an
directory with spaces in the dir-name:

Hello group,

i improved my copy-script in the following points:

- filetype recognization
- version check will be dropped on specified filetypes (like pictures, etc.pp.)
- output improved!

Enjoy...

Windows aren't updated properly.

Try mark a directory and directly press right mouse button to get up
another window with this dir in. You can also mark the dir and swiftly
press another window.
Then you'll see that the window info still says that there is a directory
marked when there isn't.

It isn't a hack but until Olaf implement this in IPrefs this
program is very useful! - You know i don't like hacks either.

I did Rudi, i did! :-)

I used:
NewScreen ID=1342312448 D=4 W=800 H=600

And the same happend :-(

Thats why i don't understand that.

Sorry, I wasn`t able to find it on Aminet.
It wasn`t on one of the 34 CD`s, not in the 'Recent Uploads' and
both the main-server and wustl-edu can`t find anything
usefull when searching for "fullscreen".

I guess this is because you have a line like this:

NewScreen D=4

This will try to clone WB-Screen except for the depth.
If you use the complete line:

NewScreen ID=495620 D=5 W=670 H=400

DM2 should open it`s screen wether or not WB exists.

Wait `till I`ve read it. :-)))

Greetz - Rudi

Hello Rudi,

i found a obscure bug in NewScreen function.

It is very easy to reproduce, simply download FullScreen.LhA from Aminet and
start it once. If the WB-Title-Screen does not exists anymore, DM2 opens all
ports but does not open a screen.

PS: german translation is nearly finished.

Now i'm at "Read_DM2.guide" ;-)

I added some examples to several guides, like in "Quit_DM2.guide". I also
changed the format from "functions_dm2.guide".
Simply have a look when i'm finished or do you want a copy now?

Lazyness?

Never! :-)

Easy, change your copy button to something like,
extern, run >nil: c:copy %s %d

I prefer the waiting till an operation is finished though. Just paranoid about
running a file thats currenty unarchiving or something similar.

I wouldn`t call it spaghetti-code" then but it`s hardly documented.
And some things are a bit strange implemented (not my fault :)

Better what? What about the DM2.guide is this no documentation?
And if you like to - write a tutorial.
I sponsor this with the original tutorial.

I`m not yet ready for this.
I have to rip-out some of the deepest internals from DM2
to handle things like this.

DM2 calls dozens of sub-functions whillst working
on a single command-line.

> --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ----------------------------

This is getting on my nerves already.
We`ll see, they told me that I can get an ads-free list
after 15.03. - onelist and egroups are now one.

Greetz - Rudi

I don't see any need to release the source for DM2 if it's truly spaghetti
code.
The best improvement that could be made to DM2 is:
1.  better documentation.
2.  Make the program multi-threaded, so that a User doesn't have to wait for
a copying task (for example) to complete before moving on to another task.

This is also what I think, actually.

I have been asked if I could recycle parts of it for DM2.
So I have to think about it.

For the reader part - a new reader is under development
right now and looks very promising yet.
And this has nothing to do with DOpus...

Would`t using parts of Dopus4 be a step in the wrong direction ?
I don`t fell that dopus has anything to offer that DM2 don`t,
Sure it has things like diskcopy and a text/picture/viewer but
why should we care. I personly am using textview for text and
hex viewing and cybershow for pictures. I would rather be using
extern viewers that be stouck with something out of the box.

And this from an aol-user. :-)

So that we are all alive, let`s see if we can`t get
some movement into this list.


DOpus4 has been released under the gpl.
Fine.
I read it and found that even using parts of the source
would mean that the resulting product also has to be released
under the gpl and in source-form. Hmm.

And I have been asked to release DM2`s source, too.

But I can`t see a reason for doing this.
The source is that awfull that no newbie should learn from it.

Improving DM2 with a team of programmers is too far from reality.
I`m still the only one that really worked on it even though
some others also tried...

Greetz - Rudi

Alright already, stop sending these requests for a reply!

Hello!

We are nine users now on this list.

And also a few that I don`t know yet from the old list.

Would you mind to drop a few lines?

Greetz - Rudi

Hi!

I just released a translators version of the guide
on my new homepage:

http://home.t-online.de/home/rudolph-riedel

This version of the guide is splitted into 113 files.

Each file represents a chapter of the guide named
as "chapter_DM2.guide" e.g: "About_DM2.guide".

The difference to the previous versions of the guide
is that now every single chapter comes with it`s
own revision number:

@REMARK .1

To get a working DM2.guide just perform this line:

join !head *DM2_guide as ram:DM2.guide


And please note that I already changed some text
from version 1.85 to version 1.86 - sorry.

Greetz - Rudi
