VolumeMeter V1.11 © 2002 Severin Software

New Stuff:

V1.11

    A few bug fixes, and a few more options...

    New Tooltypes:
        DRAGBARHEIGHT (Dopus 5+ users only) = set the height of the dragbar <3 to 12>
        LEVEL1/2/3 = Sets the percentage at which the colours change defaults are 50,80,95
        COLOUR0/1/2/3 = Sets the colours of the bars 0 (< level1) to 3 (level4)
	DEVICESORT = sort drives be device name instead of volume name

    Features for Dopus 5+ users:

	If the backdrop is changed wait about 10 seconds (to allow slow processors to
	finish) and the window will redraw with the new backdrop :)
	Single click on a bar to open the device in a new lister.
	The dragbar is the thin one at the bottom of the window.

    Bugfixes:

	Fixed a small bug that opened the popup windows behind others :(

V1.07

    The chip ram bar still displays total drive info, the fast ram bar now displays
    memory information

    New Tooltypes:

        FONT   = User selectable font for popups (defaults to Topaz/8)
        HEIGHT = Height of the font

    Now has automatic 4 colour display if any of the required pens cannot
    be allocated.

V1.06 (Not realeased to the public)

    Reworked the popup windows for a more 'responsive feel', once they popup, they
    will be updated as you move the mouse until the mouse is moved out of the window.

    Couple of bug fixes, now works with really big partitions, reported to work with
    30Gb :)

    New Tooltypes:

        SMALL  = condensed info in popup windows for smaller screens
        SCALE  = Puts a small scale on the right hand side of the window
        DEBUG  = creates a log file in ram if you are having problems :(
                 email it to me with any bug reports...

V1.05

	Workbench Titlebar info has been removed, VolumeMeter now uses popup windows.
	Just put the mouse on a bar and don't move it for 2 seconds :)
	This works even if the window isn't active, if this is too anoying, email me
	and I'll add a tooltype option to only popup when the window is active...

	You can now change the sizes of the bars through tooltypes:

		BARHEIGHT = Er, Height of the bar? (limited to half the screen height)
		BARWIDTH  = <4...32> If I need to explain this to you buy a PC...

	If BARHEIGHT is 0 or not found it defaults to 5 * BARWIDTH

	DELAY has been modified to work with WBSTARTUP+/++

	VolumeMeter.prefs are now saved in ENV: and ENVARC: (you can delete the prefs 
	file in the programs dir).

	EXPERIMENTAL autoupdate...

	For users who change their backdrop regularly, Uses the tooltype:

		AUTOUPDATE=<1...60> In Minutes, This just closes the window, grabs a new
		background and opens the window again, ANY windows that are over
		VolumeMeters will be grabbed :(

        Keyboard Control:

		There are a few keys you can use:

		SPACE - Updates the window and background
		C     - Closes the window for 10 seconds to allow workbench changes
		ESC   - Quits VolumeMeter :(

Old Stuff:

Requirements:

	None.
	Well, 50k of hd space :)
	It has not been tested on less than OS3.x, might work with 2, probably won't
	work with 1

Description:

	VolumeMeter opens a small window on workbench (or Dopus Magellan) and displays
	a bar chart of your hard drive and ram usage (including any drives mounted over
	a network). The last two bars are chip and fast ram. All bars show the amount
	USED and are colour coded as follows:-

		Blue	 0-49%
		Green	50-80%
		Amber	81-94%
		Red	95-100%

	The main window background is transparent, but does not update if you change your
	backdrop, to do it manually just click on the window and press the space bar or move
	the window.

	If the window is active, drive details are shown in the title bar in the following
	format:-

	Name (device) Total Size ?MB  Used ?Mb(%)  Free ?Mb(%)  Blocksize ?k

	If you move the mouse onto the ram columns the total hard drive sizes/usage will
	be displayed:-

	Total Drive Space: ?Mb  Used: ?Mb  Free: ?Mb

Tooltypes:

	There is only one tooltype and it only works if the program is run from wbstartup.

	DELAY=<0...30>

	This just lets you set a delay to allow your system to finish booting and display
	your workbench backdrop before it opens its window. If the delay is too short you
	will get an ugly grey background in the window (or whatever colour 0 is).

Preferences:

	None, the position of the window is saved every time you move it.


Status:

	Freeware :)
