Short: AmigaOS multipurpose filemanager Author: email@martin-elsner.de (Martin R. Elsner) Uploader: email martin-elsner de (Martin R Elsner) Type: util/wb Version: 4.40 Requires: AmigaOS 3.5 or 3.9 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: vielseitiger AmigaOS Dateimanager IMPORTANT !!! The prefs file has changed !!! So you should start ClassActionPrefs and save your settings (have a look at the new properties), then CA will work as it should !!! MRE ClassAction is more than a file manager for AmigaOS; you are able to define classes of files, and actions for each class. It is - a file manager for copying, moving, deleting, renaming, adding icons, showing information, viewing and extracting archives ! - a class manager that allows to view, edit, (un)pack, compile, start ... the files ! - a tool that can start your tools as cli command, ARexx script or like an icon ! - with FTPMount an easy way to use FTP! It is the perfect add-on to OS 3.5 and 3.9. Get the recent news at http://www.martin-elsner.de/ Changes since the last main release: 2002/05/01 : V4.40 - SURPASSING !!! - ClassAction becomes part of MRE ! (the names of helpfile, icon and prefs are now always help:classaction.guide, mre:executables/classaction.info, sys:prefs/classactionprefs) - Copying, moving and deleting have been completely changed and are now handled internally what means: o Correct progress display related to the number of files (optional) o Direct abort possibility through the STOP button o Possibility to overwrite/delete protected files o optional version display when replacing files o Precise error display - Listers can be arranged vertically and even be resized ! - New popup menu above the activation bulb with often used drawer commands, and a volume popup over the refresh button. - New menu items in the file popup menu: "Open with" (you have to specify your applications on the classes page in CAP) and "Copy to" which allows to copy to any of the predefined paths. - New class "Volume" and internal class "Assign". - If you select two or more files that belong to the same class, you will get a popup menu for this class if CA can recognize the class via the pattern (no offset search). - Paths are not limited any more and can be edited in a user friendly way in CAP. - Now file comments are displayed. - Files are sorted according to the current locale (ä,ø,ç ...) - The sizes of selected/all files are shown in the status bar. - A doubleclick on date, bits or comment will open a ClassAction requester to change these values (and the filename) and show the version. - Improved and OS-like Makedir requester; all requesters open in the middle of the screen to enable better mouse access. - Improved archive handling: full support for LZX, display and extract for HA, directory dates in lha archives created from youngest file inside. - A change of the preferences will now update the whole program (also icons etc. !!). - You can show the help file in ClassActionPrefs by menu item or AMIGA-H; popup help for the window objects is available by a new menu item. - New internal commands: ROOT goes to the root dir of the current path; TRASH is the same as DELETE, but stores the files in a trashcan directory on the same volume. - New variables: the "a"/"A" variables that are replaced by the list of all selected files (e.g. [ab]) and the "O" requesters that are displayed only once. - New option: Tab buttons transparent - Command definition changed: "Rescan dir" has been replaced by 4 options: "Asynchronous": if it is activated CA won't wait for the execution. "CD dest": work in destination dir rather than source "Read source": reread the source lister after execution "Read destination": reread the dest. lister after execution - New key commands. Look into the guide for details. - Some minor bugs removed. (V4.31): - Bugs removed: Icon commands use correct filename, GETSIZE shows correct size, SNAPSHOT works. - Zoom gadget enlarges ClassAction to screen size. - Added Czech catalog (thanks to Roman Brychta!), updated Polish catalog and guide.
