Recent-Document Requestor v2.4 for
Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, PageStream v3.1, and GoldEd
This emailware/postcardware package consists primarily of:
RecentDocsListerO.rexx -
Will generate a list of recently-opened documents when used in
conjunction with the "Open" icon in Final Calc or Final Writer, or when
used in conjuction with an "Open" macro in ProVector,PageStream, or
GoldEd.
RecentDocsListerS.rexx -
Will generate a list of recently-opened documents when used in
conjunction with the "Save" icon in Final Calc or Final Writer, or when
used in conjuction with a "Save" macro in ProVector, PageStream, or
GoldEd.
RecentDocsRequestor.rexx -
Brings up a requestor allowing you to choose from your recently-opened
Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, PageStream, or GoldEd docs. The most
recently opened documents will be at the top of the list. Also allows
deletion of docs from the recent-docs list.
History:
v2.4 - Selecting the Open gadget in the recent-docs requestor without having
a file selected will now bring up the standard open-file requestor
instead of exiting.
v2.3 - Added support for GoldEd. I use the unregistered v3.1.3.
v2.2b - Macros can now be located anywhere, not just in REXX:. If the
locations are changed, remember to modify the the buttons and
macros used to call the RecentDocs macros.
v2.2a - Utility for forcing Final Calc's screen to be public instead of
private included (see details for installing TruePub by Timo
Kaikumaa in the Final Calc installation instructions).
Utility for forcing windows to open on the front-most public screen
included (see details for installing FrontPub by Gunther Nikl in
the installation instructions).
Code for redefining public screen (see v2.1 above) removed.
Allows even more flexibility in changing names of macros.
v2.2 - The recent-docs requestor now has a Delete function to delete files
from the list. Note that this only deletes files from the recent-
docs list and not from your drive! Thanks to Achim Klopsch for
this suggestion!
The macros can now be renamed, following certain limitations (see
installation). Thanks again to Achim Klopsch!
v2.1 - Can be used with Final Calc, Final Writer, ProVector, and PageStream.
Now requires rexxreqtools.library in addition to rexxtricks.library.
Temporarily redefines the current public screen to encourage
requestors to open on the appropriate screens. I didn't run into
this problem, but Heiko Schröder did and offered a correction for
it. Thanks Heiko! Note that FinalCalc does not open on a public
screen and therefore will not allow requestors to open on its
screen.
Location of macros has changed; they are now stored in REXX: to allow
having a single copy of the macros available for use by all
programs. This requires changes to previously modified Final Calc
buttons and user.menu as well as to Final Writer Button Strips and
User Menus. If this is not your first installation, make sure you
read the installation instructions for each application!
v2.0 - Can be used with both Final Calc and Final Writer.
Now uses rexxtricks.library.
Adds both saved and opened files to the recent-docs list.
Format of recent-docs list changed; remove any RecentDocs.txt files
created with v1.0.
v1.0 - First release.
