AmigaOS 4: Directory Opus 4.18.44
In the lastest version of the file manager Directory Opus some minor bugs have been fixed.
- Fixed directory sizes displayed in a lister when searching for a
filename (or pattern) in multiple directories with the hunt command.
- Fixed a hunt command failure to highlight the found file when the file
was located in a subdirectory of the directory being searched. When the
user selected the OK button in the "Shall I go there?" requester,
the hunt command would display a requester stating that the file was
not found but then load the directory where the file was located.
- Fixed a crash in the Dopus4 text viewer. If Dopus4 was on the
Workbench screen and the text viewer was open when the user quit
the Dopus4 program, the viewer would crash (Grim Reaper).
- Fixed a bug in Dopus_Print that prevented updating of the output
filename in the requester.
- Changed makefiles to create 'stabs' debug binaries and improve
compiler output readability. All Dopus4 components will now display
specific function information in a stack trace if there is a failure
when running debug binaries.
- Replaced all internal string functions and unbounded 'C' library string
functions with size limited 'C' library string functions to eliminate
possible buffer overflows.
- Replaced all deprecated memory allocation functions with new OS4 memory
allocation functions.
- Replaced all deprecated message related functions with new OS4 functions.
- Fixed all compiler warnings to make it easier to spot new warnings.
- Added a missing Tooltype to the DirectoryOpus icon.
- Changed the copyright data in about window.
- Updated copyright data in english DirectoryOpus.guide.
- Updated history files.
