Version 1.2.2
- Fixed an issue where changing the selection state of an icon that had been
scrolled out of a window with a pattern background caused corruption of
data in chip memory. This could crash the system or cause visual
artifacts.
- Fixed an issue where opening a window with a background when the Workbench
isn't the frontmost caused the background to be drawn to the frontmost
screen. This could crash the system or cause visual artifacts.
- Fixed an issue where using the sizing gadget would sometimes not redraw the
window content. This happened most often when clicking the size gadget
without actually resizing the window.
- Fixed an issue where the background is not completely redrawn when a context
menu closes and the selected menu item causes the content of the window to
be scrolled (e.g. arranging icons).
- Fixed an issue where the window title bar would be drawn over the minimize
gadget when the title is changed. This happens when changing the directory
of a browser window.
- Fixed an issue that prevented the Close dock when deactivated setting from
having an effect after editing the parent dock or user menus.
Version 1.2.1
- Added Import Default Icon command to the Info window Icon menu.

items in the Edit Dock window.

separator to user defined menus.

the New File window.

drawers and disks in new Browser windows. This can also be done by pressing
one of the ALT keys while double clicking on a drawer or disk.

pointer or the active window as an IFF ILBM image.
- Added speaker brush and default icon for ARexx (.rexx) files.

many tool types.

default icon.
- Fixed an issue where copying a file/drawer without icon to drawer or browser
window showing all files wouldn't show the copied file/drawer.
- Fixed an issue where renaming a file/drawer didn't update the layout when
using grid or rows layout or compare the new name with current filter.
- Fixed an issue where changing the icon of a file/drawer didn't update the
layout when using grid or rows layout.
- Fixed an issue where the wrong error message was shown if there was read
error during a file copy/move.

situations.

inserted or removed.

loaded for disks other than the boot disk.

- Fixed an issue where editing the dock opened by a dock item, menu item and
hot key would not remember the existing background setting.

the mouse so it was also seen as the start of a drag.

and a button for showing disks to browser windows. The Parent button has
been moved together with the navigation and its title has been changed into
an image.

windows when Show All Files is selected. This requires a def_assign.info
default icon.

in the Workbench window. This functionality is disabled by default but can
be enabled in the General Setting window.
- Added a Browser Settings window with settings for browser windows opened
with Open Browser in the Project menu or by double clicking the background
in the Workbench window.
- Added an option for positioning the icon name on the right side of the icon
in browser windows. This option is in both the Browser Settings window and
in the settings windows for browser dock items, menu items and hot keys.
- Added a filter bar to browser windows that can be shown with the Filter
command in the Window menu. When the filter bar is shown, the browser
window will only show icons with names that contains the filter string.
- Changed to rows and grid layout of browser windows so that layout is updated
when icons are added, removed or the window is resized.
- Changed Arrange By Name and Arrange By Type for browser windows from being a
one time action to also setting the sorting used whenever the layout is
updated.
- Improved performance when scrolling in drawer and browser windows with a lot
of icons.

events, e.g. mouse clicks, and sometimes stop input processing completely,
i.e. the mouse pointer stops moving.

the protection flags were changed in an Info window.

select an icon even if that window was covered by another window at the
position of the mouse pointer.
- Fixed an issue with the dock item type not being set correctly when setting
the path of a dock item to a drawer, disk or trashcan. Setting the path of
a dock item to a drawer or disk now sets the dock item type to Drawer
unless it already is Drawer or Browser. Setting the path to a trashcan now
sets the dock item type to Trashcan.
- Fixed an issue where the Edit Dock Item window wasn't updated when the dock
item type was changed because of a changed path.

being started as commands.

tool.

an icon was changed.
