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.

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.
