1.2.2 (15-Mar-2003)

A new release of AppleCommander is available! Version 1.2.2 continues on the general cleanup. One new export filter of a generalized hex dump has been added and quite a bit of work in relation to ProDOS volumes.

  • ProDOS disks now re-use deleted file entries. Prior to this fix, deleted entries were never re-used. If importing many files, a "Disk Full" error would be generated rather quickly.
  • ProDOS file entries do not generate spurious file entries. There was no method of detecting unused entries in pre-1.2.2 code.
  • Import file specification should only allow address editing if the filetype requires it.
  • Fixed parsing of filetype definitions for ProDOS volumes.
  • Need to be able to import into a directory in ProDOS. This will most likely involve adding an interface indicating a (writable) directory. This interface would be applied to both disks as well as file entries, if appropriate.
  • ProDOS subdirectories need to allocate another block as they fill up; otherwise the directory is limited to the number of entries that fit within the allocated space.
  • Import now sports a progress indicator and identifies which file is being imported.
  • Popup dialogs are now centered above the controlling window instead of popping up randomly.
  • Added a Hex Dump file filter that displays offset into file, hex bytes, and the ASCII code.
  • AppleCommander is now being built by an ANT script instead of by the Eclipse menu pick.

I'm still putzing with a compiled version for Linux and Windows, so they haven't shown up as of yet. (Unchanged - but not forgotten.)
