New for version 1.3.2 (2004-06-05):

  • Print file listing or full disk listing (including subdirectories or multiple volumes).
  • Added support for Super Hi-Res 3200 color format (PIC of 38400 bytes, file type $C1 and auxiliary type $0002).
  • Updated preferences to remember the following directory locations:
    • Open
    • Save/Save As (new)
    • Import (new)
    • Export
    • Compile
  • Added support for Finder Icons File ($CA or "ICN").
  • Added CP/M disk image support.
  • Restructured how AppleCommander manages disk ordering. This simplifies the manner in which various disk ordering schemes are implemented, and makes it possible to translate between ordering schemes.
  • Support for nibble images (*.NIB) added. Can read and write to the images as long as that format supports writing.
  • To support nibble images, changed the structure surrounding the disk image for a Disk. There now is an ImageOrder which manages the ordering of data on the image and supplies low-level read and write routines (track/sector and block). An ImageOrder holds data in an image layout - this allows the generic byte array and 2IMG layouts to be abstracted away from an images order. This does add interaction complexity but actually simplified the Disk class.
  • Viewing or double-clicking on a directory will navigate into that directory.
  • Viewing a deleted file no longer crashes AppleCommander - a warning message is displayed.
  • Updated Export Graphics wizard and export right-click options.
  • Add the ability to change physical order too (DOS <=> ProDOS <=> Nibble) on 140KB images.
  • Add ability to compare disks - regardless of physical order.
  • Started using Gimp for images (instead of Microsoft Photo Draw 2).
  • Added a "View As" menu pick in context menu. (Just Text or Graphics at this time.)

[The End.]
