Aniway asked:
I have used some programs in the past that modified the workbench menus, afraid I can't cite any at the moment.
Would it be very easy to write a program to
modify the Window-ViewBy option on the standard
WB menu to include more options, such as listing
files by extension?
And can we get a Boing! Ball to replace the icon?
;-) My A4000 runs Directory Opus Magellan II in Workbench replacement mode, and permits a user menu, (which I haven’t used). Visual Prefs will permit altering the look of the windows, gadgets, titlebar, etcetera, including adding a bitmap of your choice. I use a little Boing Ball that I rendered in Imagine 5.
Directory Opus also supports File Types, a feature which directs DOpus to check the file’s extension (if it has one) and/or its header for data which reveals what sort of file it is. DOpus then checks your configuration file to determine to do when you double click a file of that type. My copy is set to automatically show .jpg files in Multiview, for example.
;-) It takes a while to configure it to your taste, but the time is well spent. I just wish that I could afford a second copy for the A3000. Every time I fire it up, I’m reminded just how much I’ve gotten used to DOpus. It really is that good.
