Worker file manager

Changes

• fixes:
  • fixed possible lockup when starting external programs
  • fixed color for line numbers in text view
• other changes:
  • updated Czech translation (Thanks to Petr Korviny)

June 16th 2010: Version 2.17.7

• new features:
  • it is now possible to enter new labels in the popup menu.
  • for own command and "start prog" command the output of the external program can be displayed with the internal viewer.
  • added new column to show file sizes in a human readable format (mb,gb,...)
  • the volume manager now also shows the volume label and size (if reported by HAL).
• fixes:
  • new device detection didn't work correctly if hal and fstab entries are mixed.
  • fixed wrong number display with thousands separator that uses more than one byte (utf8).
  • fixed small visual glitch with list view redraw when moving files. If a dialog comes up it was possible that the wrong entry was displayed.
• other changes:
  • files which cannot be stat'ed will be visible in the list view now. A dialog will no longer come up.
  • devices hidden in the volume manager will not be reported as new.
  • when opening the bookmark manager a best matching entry will be searched if the currently active entry is not stored as a bookmark.
  • changed method to run external programs which also makes the cygwin workaround flag in the configure script unnecessary.
  • slightly improved determination of free space to reduce update delays.

March 1st 2010: Version 2.17.6

• new features:
  • the event handling has been improved so the process does not wake up too often. That might be beneficial for laptop users to save battery power.
  • Worker now opens a dialog when new devices become available to ask what to do with them (mount them, open volume manager or do nothing). There is a new option in the volume manager section to disable this behavior.
  • it is now possible to sort the file list by file permissions
  • the layout configuration has an additional option to apply the list view weight relatively to the active side. That makes it possible to set the current side to 80% of the window width regardless of whether it is the left or right side.
  • there is a new command option --config to choose a different configuration directory.
• other changes:
  • HAL support status is shown in about window.
  • improved built-in configuration to be slightly more useful in case no other configuration is found.
  • the button for editing the list of hidden devices in the volume manager has been removed, the dialog can be accessed with the secondary button function of the hide button.
• fixes:
  • improved detection of new devices. Sometimes they were reported multiple times or never (if they have been reconnected).

November 10th 2009: Version 2.17.5

• new features:
  • added volume manager to mount and unmount devices
    • devices can be mounted via HAL if available and by traditional fstab mount
    • Worker shows an information in the state bar if a new device becomes available
    • A new command "Volume manager" is available to access the corresponding UI (the hotkey can be downloaded from the add-ons section at the homepage). The default key is Alt+v.
    • Commands used to mount/unmount devices can be configured in a new config section (only required if HAL is not used)
• other changes:
  • file list filter is shown in list view bar
  • added configure option --enable-cygwin-workaround so Worker runs without problems on Cygwin
  • updated Italian, Latvian and Czech translation

June 2nd 2009: Version 2.17.4

• new features:
  • added "change layout" operation to change the main window layout during runtime
  • different weights may be used for the list views
  • added option to the "search entry" operation to match inside file name
  • Worker shows possible keys for double shortkeys in the state bar
• fixes:
  • fixed message about importing special file types, original and new one was swapped
  • fixed bug for label colors, it was possible that a color from an entry in a sub directory was used instead of the correct one
• other changes:
  • added Latvian translation
    (Thanks to Einars Sprugis)
  • changed tab text to only show base name instead of full path
  • added some hotkeys to default configuration for layout changes:
    Ctrl+l 1 will make left list view wider (80%/20% partitioning)
    Ctrl+l 2 will make both list views use 100% of the window width
  • added some hotkeys to show current path on the other side in a new tab
    (Alt+o and Alt+Shift+o)
  • the "go to directory" operation now accepts file names and will highlight the given file in the corresponding directory.
    There is an example button "go symlink" to follow a symlink to its real destination
  • changed mount/unmount button to give some message if the operation failed

March 12th 2009: Version 2.17.3

• fixes:
  • fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
• other changes:
  • updated Czech translation (Thanks to Petr Korviny)
  • updated Polish translation

March 6th 2009: Version 2.17.2

• new features:
  • added tabs
    All tabs share the same directory cache so if you select some entries in a directory and you enter this directory in a different tab the previous selection is available.
  • added "modify tabs" command
    default keys are ctrl+page up/down for previous/next tab and ctrl+t/w for new/close tab
• other changes:
  • improved layout configuration
  • made checks for bookmarks and labels faster
  • updated Czech and Slovak translation (Thanks to Petr Korviny and Stanislav Pavlica)

December 18th 2008: Version 2.17.1

• fixes:
  • fixed endless loop in layout function for the GUI which was triggered in version 2.17.0
• other changes:
  • bookmark UI tries to use as much space as necessary so no horizontal scrolling is required

November 11th 2008: Version 2.17.0

• new features:
  • added more options to find dialog
    it is possible to set modification time limits and search for given file size
  • files or directories can now be labeled to make it easier to find important or frequently used files
    • Each label may have a specific color which will be used to highlight the corresponding entries.
      There is a new configuration section for these colors.
    • Parent directories also will be displayed in this color to indicate that there are some labeled entries in this or some sub-directory (though this feature can be disabled in the configuration of the normal file lister)
    • there is a new command to change file labels which can set or remove a given label on the active entry or ask for the label with a popup menu.
      The same menu is available in the context menu of the selected entry. The example config comes with the hotkey alt+l for keyboard access.
    • all labeled entries are stored as bookmarks so they are available for editing in the bookmark dialog
  • the "set filter" command has been enhanced to allow showing only bookmarked entries or entries with a specific label. That makes finding some bookmarked (or labeled) entry much easier. The command may directly set the given filter without additional interaction or a popup menu may be used to query the filter. The example configuration uses the hotkey ctrl+d for opening the popup.
  • the bookmark dialog has been enhanced to handle the new labels.
    The current entry in the file list is also highlighted if it is also present in the bookmarks.
• fixes:
  • recursions in worker actions are now limited to not eating up all memory
  • fixed a bug where in some circumstance the file type recognition indicator keeps busy even if there were no files left to identify
• other changes:
  • the string filter (activated with ctrl+s) is now not cleared when reloading the same directory

July 3rd 2008: Version 2.16.5

• fixes:

  • adding "run custom action" to command list of a file type opens the configuration just as for the other commands
  • fixed very rare problem when worker waits forever for an external program to exit
• other changes:
  • updated Slovak translation
    (Thanks to Stanislav Pavlica)
  • copy/move/delete operation limits redraw of file list to speedup operation
  • changing symlinks updates the directory afterwards
  • bookmarks are now sorted
  • creating new file types uses colors from parent type as default
  • the content of the text fields in the search UI is not copied to the clipboard when the window is opened

April 17th 2008: Version 2.16.3

• new features:
  • the file search can be limited to only search the same device as the base directory
  • added experimental XFT support (enabled with --enable-xft)
  • there is a new filter in the file type configuration for showing only matching file type names in a sorted list
  • added support for libmagic (from "file") so file types can also be recognized by the output of this library
  • added optional alias for bookmarks
• fixes:
  • fixed text search in file viewer; after the last match was found the next search did not started again at the beginning of the document
  • fixed a minor memory leak in configuration parsing if the configuration file contains errors
• other changes:
  • the command to calculate the directory sizes can now be aborted by pressing Escape and the window is also redrawn during operation.

  • added command to open the worker menu
• fixes:
  • fixed ftp command to store passwords (if enabled) of different servers
  • fixed file length limit in file viewer to correctly handle files larger than 2GB
• other changes:
  • file name in text view and search is shortened to fit into window
  • added double buffering in file viewer to avoid flickering

December 3rd 2007: Version 2.16.1

• new features:
  • improved chmod to allow adding or removing permissions instead of just only setting them (for example useful for setting the write bit while leaving all other permissions at original value)
  • added type-ahead filter for the context menu for faster access (disabling all entries not matching the filter)
    (backspace will clear the filter again)
• fixes:
  • the internal file viewer no longer blocks forever when trying to view non regular files like pipes. Worker now tries to read some bytes for only a few seconds.
• other changes:
  • improved the speed of the internal file viewer, word wrapping is much faster for large files. As a side effect the initial size with enabled word wrapping is increased to 512 KB
  • the maximal buffer size for the file viewer is limited to 1 GB and the reload key doesn't work anymore if the file is already loaded completely
  • correctly set keyboard focus for popup menus when using the mouse

  • updated Italian catalog
    (Thanks to Giulio Canevari)

November 8th 2007: Version 2.16.0

This action is now activated by shift + right mouse but it can be changed in the section about mouse button configuration
  • added custom file type actions so it's possible to use more than 10 (user) actions and also give them a reasonable name.
    There is a corresponding command to activate a custom action by name and it can also be selected in the new popup menu
  • added modifier key option in the mouse button configuration so the four mouse actions can be assigned to mouse buttons
  • added command to activate context menu for keyboard use (assigned to Ctrl+Space in default config)
• fixes:
  • fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
    (Thanks to Tobias Toedter)
  • for very long file names the text view window was to wide
  • the dialog in text view was set transient for the wrong window
    (Reported by Sascha Hunold)
  • fixed missing redraw in automatic creation of file content test
• other changes:
  • viewing program in own command is hidden if it's not used

June 7th 2007: Version 2.15.0

• new features:
  • added directory bookmarks
    • it's possible to add directories and select whether a specific entry will be highlighted when jumping to the bookmark
    • the list of bookmarks can be filtered by entering some characters (Shift-Backspace clears the filter)
    • the list of bookmarks is written back to disc immediately whenever a change occurs so any running Worker will see the new list when opening the bookmark dialog
    • the default key in the example configuration is meta-b (and ctrl-\)
• fixes:
  • fixed some problems in the internal text view with very long text lines.
    It could happen that the word wrapping doesn't work correctly or a line gets overdrawn making it unreadable.
    As a side effect the text view is significantly faster if word wrapping is disabled.
  • fixed a minor bug introduced in Worker 2.9.0.
    many commands just didn't had any effect if they were assigned to drag'n'drop action
  • fixed bug in the configuration of the interval text viewer which prevented the setting of the the viewing mode
  • fixed a small visual glitch when "+" was displayed in the list view bar but no search filter was actually active
  • fixed file choose dialog in configuration export, it wasn't possible to enter a new name
• other changes:
  • the command "go to parent dir" now deactivates the search filter instead of actually going to the parent directory
  • since text viewing is much faster now the default buffer size is raised to 2 MB (with enabled word wrapping it's still 64 KB).
    It is however now possible to increase the buffer on demand by clicking on "Read more" (or pressing "r") in the text view.
    The text viewer also asks to read the complete file if it's larger than the default buffer size.
  • the horizontal scroller in the text view now only takes the visible lines into account
  • the scrollers in the text view no longer uses the background colour of the text view making them more readable
  • updated Italian catalog
    (Thanks to Giulio Canevari)

March 22nd 2007: Version 2.14.4

• fixes:
  • fixed bug introduced in Worker 2.14.3: It was possible that the directory entry ".." was not visible but a phantom entry (from previous directory) was visible at the end of the file list.
    This can happen when hidden files are not visible and the file system returns the ".." entry in an unusual order.
    Worker outputs an error msg ("Nr of entries does not match real value!") in this case.
    (Thanks to Panayotis Papasotiriou for reporting this bug and helping tracking it down)

March 19th 2007: Version 2.14.3

• new features:
  • when searching an entry in the list view (with Ctrl-s) the list will be filtered on-the-fly to only show the matching entries. The filter is active until the directory is reloaded or another search is started.
    The list view bar indicates such a filter by using a "+" character (in contrast to "*" when normal filters are active)
    This feature can be deactivated in the configuration of the list view mode.
  • ftp command: it's possible to use an anonymous login
• fixes:
  • search: jumping to files containing wildcards characters ([,*...) didn't worked correctly
    (Reported by Johannes Rosky)

    (Thanks to Sascha Hunold for a patch)
  • search results now uses list view colors from main list view
  • text view colors are configurable
  • the GUI is more responsive when the search finds a large number of results (Worker was busy fetching the results)

  • improved "start prog" command
    It's now possible to handle the file as a different filetype or choose an avfs handler from a list of all possible avfs handlers.
  • double clicking on files with empty double click action list will start the improved "start prog" action
  • the seperator character in file sizes is now inserted every 3 digits no matter how large the number is (previously it was only inserted up to 3 times)
    (based on a patch from Tobias Toedter)
• fixes:
  • fixed bug in file copy: The return value of the final close() of the destination file wasn't checked which can lead to incomplete files in some circumstances (it occures on nfs devices where a write() to a full device is still successful but the final close() will fail). If you use avfs you also have to update to atleast avfs 0.9.6 as a similar bug was there too.

April 6th 2005: Version 2.10.0

• new features:
  • added virtual file system using AVFS (avf.sf.net)
    Finally it is possible to access archives or files on remote computers. There is some basic introduction in the docs but for more information about the usage you should read the docs of AVFS. But the default configuration already contains all filetype definitions needed to access archives. These definitions can also be downloaded from the add-on page for import.
  • virtual files can be excluded from file content test which is set by default (in the "dirs not to check" configuration for filetypes)
  • there is a new option for the "own command" and "start prog" operation which prevents Worker from entering the current directory
  • there is a new flag {t} for a temporary copy of the entry ({f}) to be able to use external programs with virtual files
  • there is a new operation "ftp connection" to access remote ftp sites. It is possible to store the password in the configuration but not encrypted!
  • For the "Script" operation and for the extended test for filetypes there is a new function isLocal which can be used to test if the entry is a local or virtual file
• fixes:
  • compilation fix for upcoming gcc4 and a warning on 64bit system
    (Thanks to Andreas Jochens for the patch)
  • fixed update of free disk space information (update took too long and for symlinks to other partitions it showed the wrong information)
  • environment variables can now really be used for start directory and path entry
    (reported by Sascha Hunold)
  • fixed visual glitches in the path input line. Worker also restores the content if new path cannot be opened
• other changes:
  • temporary files will now be stored in an own directory worker-$USER in the tmp dir ($TMPDIR is now also honored)
  • Worker shows a dialog if entering a directory is not possible
  • updated man page
  • there is a new script "xeditor" which searches for existing editors. This script is used by the default and the editor used can be overridden by the env var WORKER_XEDITOR

December 20th 2004: Version 2.9.0

• new features:
  • added filetype hierarchie
    
    • each filetype can contain subtypes
    • subtypes will be checked if the filetype tests of the parent type matches the current file or the parent type does not use any tests
    • the action of the parent type is used if the action list of the type is empty or the "parent action" command is used
    • The "no operation" command can be used to not execute the commands of the parent type
  • there is now a filetype color configuration
    it's possible to select custom colors, use the colors of the parent type or even use the output of an external program to select the colors
  • it's now possible to cut and paste filetypes in the configuration
• fixes:
  • fixed bug where under certain circumstances Worker accessed freed pointers when executing actions
    This bug could appear if actions are used after using "enter dir" or "reload" command
  • a file will only be shown as executable if the user really has the permission to execute it
  • fixed compilation when pthreads is not used
  • extented filetype test honours the "dirs no to check"
  • fixed problem when sometimes filetype gets checked twice
• other changes:
  • improved check for identical source and destination file for file copy
  • the own command is now always the first entry in the command selection window
  • in the filecontent configuration for filetypes, the automatic creation now accepts any number of files
  • doubleclick on directories now honours the doubleclick action of the directory type (enter directory is the fallback action if the doubleclick action list is empty)
    (reported by Raik Lieske)
  • cursor keys can be used in requesters to change the focus element and the enter key can now also be used for any button and not just the first
    (reported by Loki and others)
  • copying of a corrupt symlink (link destination does not exists) in "follow symlinks" mode now copy the symlink itself instead of showing a error requester
  • The email address "ralf.hoffmann@epost.de" will expire soon, new address is "ralf@boomerangsworld.de"

July 28th 2004: Version 2.8.5

• new features:
  • added more flexible filetype description using conditional expressions
    it's similar to the if-expression in the script command
    
    • possible functions are:
      • toNum(...): change string to number
      • toStr(...): change number to string
      • isReg(): test for regular file
      • isSock(): test for socket
      • isFIFO(): test for FIFO (pipe)
      • isSymlink(): test for symlink
      • size(): size of file
      • perm(mask): numerical permission
      • toLower()/toUpper(): change string to lower/upper
      • contentStr(x,y): y Bytes from file content starting at position x
      • contentNum(x,y): like contentStr but interpreted as a number
      • name()/fullname(): file name/full file name
    • the flags {f} and {F} can be also used for the filename inside strings
      this allows for the use of any external program to determine the filetype (e.g. using the file command)
    • there are the usual operators as "<", ">=" and so on and it is possible to use regular expressions using ~=
    • there is also an more or less extensive help
    • some examples:
      • Test for shell scripts:
        ( contentStr( 0, 2 ) == "#!" ) && ( contentStr( 2, 10 ) ~= "/bin/[a-zA-Z]*sh.*" )
      • Test for OctaMED music files:
        ( toUpper( contentStr( 0, 3 ) ) == "MED" ) || ( toUpper( contentStr( 0, 4 ) ) ~= "MMD[0-9]" )
      • Use "file" for type recognition:
        ( ${file -b {F}} ~= "ASCII C program text" )
  • there is an extensive help for the pattern configuration
• fixes:
  • fixed copy of non-regular files if "follow symlinks" is used, copying symlinks pointing to non-regular files (devices, pipes, ...) did not create these special files but only regular files
  • fixed text for move operation in the progress window, now it prints "Move" instead of "Copy"
  • compile fix for gcc 3.4
    (reported by Goetz Waschk)
  • compile fix for QNX
    (reported by Toni Ruza)
• other changes:
  • updated italian catalog
    (Thanks again to Giulio Canevari)

March 17th 2004: Version 2.8.4

• new features:
  • the layout of the main window is configurable (in global settings)
    Select the button and listview orientation and the positions of the elements
  • filetypes: added flag to match the full name (including the path) for pattern matching
  • copy/delete/rename/symlink: highlights entry currently processed
  • configuration: the button banks can be swapped
    (suggested by Harlock and Jan Windischmann)
• fixes:
  • fixed possible lockup when using threads
    (reported by Harlock and others)
• other changes:
  • GUI improvements
  • copy: updates "bytes to copy" when skipping files

    (reported by Ulf Hartwig)
  • filetypes: fixed file content configuration to not select several entries at once
  • added some example scripts and corresponding buttons to convert cd tracks to several formats
    (Giulio Canevari)

December 18th 2003: Version 2.8.3

• fixes:
  • fixed a little bug which partialy prevents the configuration of the filetypes
• other changes:
  • window creation will wait till window mapping

November 26th 2003: Version 2.8.2

• new features:
  • the listview header colors are now configurable
    (reported by Piotr Rzepka)
  • search entry now allows case insensitive search (activate it in the command configuration)
• fixes:
  • fixed possible endless loop in directory read
    (reported by Florian Zwoch)
  • fixed information mode to keep currently visible information when other side is deactivated and no longer try to update information for a corrupt symlink
    (reported by Giulio Canevari)
  • improved configure checks for statvfs/statfs for improved compatibility
    Worker can now be compiled on OpenBSD
    (Thanks to Ingolf Schuchardt for support and access to an OpenBSD box)
  • some other code changes to allow compilation on Solaris2.7
    (Thanks to Jean-Francois Magni for testing)
  • the status bar is now correctly updated even when the listview doesn't list any directory
• other changes:
  • gui code cleanup
  • left align listview header text when it doesn't fit into the header
    (reported by Giulio Canevari)
  • print installation directory at the end of the configure script
  • Worker will now also compile on AIX with the gcc compiler

August 17th 2003: Version 2.8.1

• new features:
  • external programs which run in the foreground (i.e., Worker waits for completion) can now be detached with Escape or the middle mouse button
  • added some new columns: Inode number, number of hard links, number of blocks
    the information mode will also show this values
  • for devices the size of the entry is now the major/minor number
  • added headerline for the listview
    you will see the field name and you can click on it to change the sortmode
  • there is an additional symbol in the listview bar (above the listview) which is visible when Worker is still recognizing filetypes
• fixes:
  • fixed buffer overflow in informationmode
    (reported by Cyriac Benoit)
• other changes:
  • chmod/chown: chmod will no longer read all affected directories at the beginning but change permissions on the fly. This way you are able to change the permissions for directories you are currently not able to read.
    the same goes for chown although you won't notice any different because chown is only allowed for root (on most systems) and root can always read the dirs
  • used thousand separator from current locale
    (Thanks for the patch to Tobias Toedter)
  • added some more tests for large files in the configure-script. This should fix compile problems with RedHat 7
  • modified default configs so TGZ/TBZ2 actions should work on any system no matter if tar doesn't understands the special options
    updated addons are also available
  • Worker will compile on AIX (only with xlc compiler)
  • updated italian catalog
    (Thanks to Giulio Canevari)

June 8th 2003: Version 2.8.0

• new features:
  • the configuration file format is now text based
    Worker will continue to load old binary files and old binary export files. You can now also import whole configurations.
    Although you can now edit the config don't expect any documentation about the keywords and file structure and whatever
  • added new flag for "own command": {scripts} which will be replaced by the path to the scripts dir inside worker's share directory
    This can be used for easy access to additional scripts
  • there is a new bash script "pattern rename"
    For a given match pattern you can replace/add text at the beginning/mid/end of all matched filenames
    There is a button in the default config and you can also download this button from my homepage (->AddOns)
    (Thanks to aaron who wrote this script and the button)
• other changes:
  • worker will compile with Sun C++ compiler
  • renaming (in rename and copy) to empty name is now catched
  • when starting DoubleClick/Show/RawShow/User-action the selected entries will no longer be deselected at the beginning but only depending on the used flags in the actions
  • cancelling copy will open requester for confirmation
  • in the "disc is full"-requester the affected file will be shown
  • added italian catalog
    (Thanks to Amedeo Brunetti and Giulio Canevari)
  • updated russian catalog
    (Thanks again to Ilya V. Yalovoy)
  • fixed RAR buttons/filetype in the default configs
  • fixed button titles in import window

April 27th 2003: Version 2.7.1

• new features:
  • added support for large files (>= 2GB)
  • improved error requesters for un-stat-able directory entries
    you can abort the directory reading and directories containing such directories with these entries remain selected when copying/deleting them
  • support env variables in path buttons
    (suggested by Thomas Helbig)
  • worker compiles with Cygwin
    (Thanks to Stephan Henningsen)
  • chmod: the keypad can be used to select permissions also with NumLock=off
  • create symlink: function can now create absolute and relative symlinks
    option "local symlink" renamed to "relative symlink"
    example: link /usr/bin/gs to /usr/local/bin/gs will be "../../bin/gs"
  • show image mode:
    • Worker can use ImageMagick's display for embedded display
      (select it from the "show image mode"-configuration [Right click at list view bar->show image mode->set to default viewer])
      ImageMagick knows more file formats but is also slower
    • moved wrappers for xli/display to share/worker/scripts
  • configuration: ask when canceling a changed configuration
• security fixes:
  • copy: destination directories were created with 755 permissions and got correct permissions only at the end of directory copy.
    now the destination directories will be created with 700 permissions (and of course get correct permission at the end)
• fixes:
  • fixed if-parser in the script command
    it was possible to use "=" instead of "==" which led to wrong results
  • copy: fixed restoring of old owner and permission
    copy will restore SUID/SGID bit only when root or owner of file
    (reported by Simonics Zsolt)
  • fixed resizing of some windows, some windowmanagers (like kwm) doesn't accept my way
  • fixed some problems with the script-command examples, the extension wasn't recognized correctly
    You can download the new example from my homepage, but they are of course included in the default configs
    (reported by aaron)
  • Worker will no longer try to enter a directory which is not executable for the user
  • fixed segfault when resizing some windows in the configuration
• other changes:
  • russian catalog
    (Thanks to Ilya V. Yalovoy)
  • worker searchs for the datadir (for catalogs, default configs...) now in the following places:
    
    1. compiled PREFIX/share/worker
    2. <exe-location>/../share/worker
    3. /usr/share/worker
    4. /usr/local/share/worker
    5. $HOME/share/worker
    This way moving around an already compiled version is much easier

October 26th 2002: Version 2.7.0

• fixed a major security problem with filenames with special characters
  Since commands will be executed in a shell-script, characters in filenames with special meaning for the shell will disturb the correct execution.
  For example: Viewing a file "something`rm some_other_file`" would remove the "some_other_file"!!!!!
  All executed commands will be now protected in single quotes.
  As a side effect most of the shell features are no longer possible. The following list contains all allowed strings which have to appear as a single word:
  

  |	pipe
  ;	command separation
  &	execute in background
  ||	or
  &&	and
  >, <, >&2, 1>, 1>&2, 2>, 2>&1, >>, 1>>, 2>>	redirections

  Because of the changes "With quotes" in the "own command" is removed because filenames are now always quoted. For example "xv {f}" will work for any filename.
  all flag-replacements in "own command" are always protected with quotes but you can disable this with "-" before the flag
  e.g.: make -f {f} {-Rs{Make target:}{}}
  But there is normally no need to change the commands because most will work just as before and e.g. xv "{f}" is still okay.
  Some of my examples for the "script" command need changes so I update the example configs and the AddOns on the homepage
  
• this "special character" problem also affects the copy of special files (symlinks, pipes,...)
  worker copies these special files now with intern functions
  No extern command for these files anymore so removed the options in "copy" command configuration
  
  An update is highly recommended!!
  
  
• copy: When a read error appears while copying a file this error was not noticed (no requester and this file was marked as correctly copied), fixed
  Also improved error requesters for other errors
• copy: when resizing the copy-window, the filenames are redrawn (in the case they were too long)
• copy: When canceling "move", you will be asked whether to delete the already correctly copied files from the source
• because env-variables are no longer available with shell-features (e.g. $HOME) there is now a new flag for "own command" (and "script command") {vEnvName}, e.g. you get your home dir with {vHOME}
• the default- and infotext for the Rs-Flag is now no longer length-limited
• start prog: the string has the same limitations as "own command" so the default value (the active entry) is now already protected
• added toNum and toStr to the if-parser in the "script" command
• the informationmode now shows also the file permission as octal number
• the permission string in the ListView now has 10 chars like ls or mc
  before the filename there is now also a special character for special files (pipes, devices...)
• filterselect: window is now resizeable
• new command: show directory cache
  it will open a window with all parent directory names for the current dir and all names from the directory cache. You can choose a dir or enter a new name
  doubleclick in the listview-bar (above the ListView) will also open this window
• show image mode: the program string is now only the program name, no %s... anymore
• fixed loading of Worker1 configs (shortkeys were lost)
  also fixed builtin config (when no config file is available)
• updated for autoconf 2.54/automake 1.7
• added parent dir buttons (..) to the path line for each side
  (suggested by Amedeo Brunetti)
• added support non-latin character input like cyrillic chars and also support dead keys
  (Thanks to Ilya V. Yalovoy for hints and testing)
• improved support for corrupt directories (without .. entry)

August 26th 2002: Version 2.6.1

• fixed compile-bug for gcc >= 3.1
  (Thanks to Götz Waschk for the patch)
• the filetypes in the configuration are sorted now
  (suggested by Martin Kähmer)
• the mousewheel can be used to switch buttonbank when using it at the clockbar
• improved diskspace updating, also fixed overflow for percent calculation in information mode
• added 48x48, 32x32 and 16x16 icons

August 18th 2002: Version 2.6.0

• return in requesters is now only allowed when okay button holds focus
  use space for any other button
• fixed filetype-recognition order. Now it really first checks the content for all types and in a second run the pattern
• filetype-recognition: scans the visible entries first
• filetype-recognition: added "ignore case" flag and support for regular expressions
• filetype-recognition: added support for bzip2 and xpkmaster
  Worker supports now:
  
  • gzip
  • bzip2
  • xpkmaster (currently the most important is sqsh)
• configuration: when creating a filetype using "automatic creation", Worker will now also uncompress the files just like the recognition will do so you can select 3 files of the type no matter how they are compressed
• configuration: copying a button/hotkey/path don't duplicate the shortkeys
• configuration: when adding commands, the last used command is highlighted
• configuration: when adding commands, the configuration is called if available
  doubleclicking a command from the list will now also open the configuration
• fixed bug in infomode when displaying a symlink with no destination
• own command: you can now select the program with a filerequester
• new command "Script"
  It's now possible to create programs for the buttons/hotkeys/filetypes
  You can store data on stacks (as many as you want) and jump at condition to labels.
  Here's a list of what's possible with this new command:
  
  • push
    push a string (which can contains flags) or the output of this string on a stack of your choice
  • label
    just a label for if/goto
  • if
    test the condition and jump to label when true ( != 0 )
    you can use parentheses, && and || if needed.
    <, <=, ==, >=, >, != works as usual.
    "" marks a string which can contains the usual flags
    ${} will be replaced with the output the command in braces
    ?{} same with the returncode of the command
    true is always true
    false is always false
    isEmpty(nr) is true when stack <nr> is empty
    size(nr) is the size of stack <nr>
    filelistEmpty(0 or 1) is true when filelist is empty (no more {f}), 0 means the current panel, 1 the other
  • end
    immediatly stops the command-list execution
  • settings
    set "recursive" when you want collect the files recursive
    set "with quotes" when you want filenames in quotes
    set "also use dirs for flag-replacing" when you also want to use the directories themselve (when collecting recursive)
    
  • goto
    jump to given label
  For the own command (and also push/if) there are some new flags:
  
  • {top stack-number}
    gets the top element of the given stack
  • {pop stack-number}
    gets and remove the top element of the given stack
  • {size stack-number}
    gets the size of the stack
  You can run if and push in debug-mode so it's easier to check what's going on
  Finally you can also use a window to display some information to the user
  
  • there is a progressbar and a multi-line textarea
    both are controlled by strings which can contain the usual flags and also the output of the string can be used
    For a newline in the textarea use a '|' in the string.
    The progressbar-string will be converted to a number and has to be between 0 and 100
  If you run into an endless loop you can send a USR1-signal to stop execution
  The execution will be stopped whenever you use the output/returncode of a command and this command writes something to stderr
  All in all I think this is a feature for the advanced user but it's not so difficult as it sounds.
  I added some buttons to the default config with some examples which can you also download from the new section "AddOns" from my homepage:
  The easiest example: Ask the bitrate and convert all selected files to mp3
  Other example: number all selected files through
  
• show output didn't work for startprog, fixed
• listview-scrollers have now a minimum width/height
• go to dir: specialdir supports the usual flags from "own command"
• copy: for the current file the rate over the last second is now displayed instead of the average rate (as shown before) which is now displayed in the next line
• copy: show complete path when requesting new name because there is already an existing entry
• copy: when requesting destination the default is now the directory from the other panel
  (suggested by Ernest Beinrohr)
• the copy-window shows the progress in the title
  (suggested by Ernest Beinrohr)
• when copy of non-regular file failed (with cp), the error-requester shows now also the error output of this command.
  There is now also a "Cancel" button
• DND: Worker now deselect the dropped entry
  (reported by Gary Watson)
• the compression-handler is displayed in the informationmode
• rename: cancel now really aborts in any case
• rename: the name in the StringGadget is now highlighted
• rename: show active entry after rename
• rename: redraw whole listview for each entry (just looks better because the columns are correct)
• changed behaviour of Show/RawShow/User/DoubleClick/DND-Actions so they will only run for involved entries
  this means for example when doubleclicking a picture and you have the ShowAction in the DoubleClick-Action command list, the ShowAction will only run for the doubleclicked entry and not for all selected like before
• the width/height of mainwindow is now stored for each screen independent
• added GPL to the about requester
• for flag-replacing in own command and the new script command:
  When collecting files recursive, you got an empty string for the directory names. Now you will only get the filenames by default, but there is a new switch "Also use dirs for flag-replacing" so you can also use the directory names
• Worker checks for updated config file once per minute and ask you for reload

May 26th 2002: Version 2.5.0

• added native chown
• added focus handling for the gui
  use tab/shift-tab to switch to next/prev element

  this result in faster recognition at fast devices and no more waiting for slow devices (like floppydiscs)
  Thread-support can be disabled
• partition-size-reading is now also done by a thread
• own command got a new option "Run in background"
  Background commands will be disconnected from the Worker-process and won't be killed when worker quits
• date/time format is now configurable (in "Global configuration") and there is also name-substitution for today, yesterday,...
• added sortmodes for type and owner
• configuration import/export added (buttons/filetypes/hotkeys)
• changed behaviour and requester when disc is full while copying
  You can now choose to keep the incomplete file or delete it but in any case the sourcefile isn't deleted (which was done when "Okay" was chosen in the requester)
  reported by Rick Younie
