Changes since the previous public release
Add: | Command hints in status bar and toolbar bubble help are now prefixed with corresponding shortcut key, if any. |
Add: | The keybar now gets updated with respect to the user customized keyboard codes. It even gets updated with respect to the keyboard codes (Accelerator Table) of the window within Larsen Commander that currently has the keyboard focus. |
Add: | Customizable keyboard shortcut keys. |
Add: | User customizable menus. Both the user menu (F2) and the standard menus can be customized. |
Add: | Internal resource script compiler. This makes Larsen Commander more user customizable and human language independent. In addition it makes it easier to port Larsen Commander to other platforms. |
Add: | Use CTRL+SHIFT+F to copy the full path of the current selected file to the system clipboard. This command has also been added to the context menu of the two file panels. |
Add: | Use CTRL+SHIFT+J to copy the name of the current selected file to the system clipboard. |
Add: | Now paint a temporary border on the toolbar button underneath the mouse cursor to highlight the button in case the toolbar is set up to use flat buttons. |
Add: | The POPD command can now take the "*" parameter to clear directory stack. Just as in 4OS2. |
Add: | Internal commands now takes the well known "/?" and "-?" arguments. |
Add: | Implemented the "Search" and the "Search next" commands in the console monitor. |
Add: | Implemented the "Goto line number" command in the console monitor. |
Add: | The shareware registration portions of the code are now finished and ready for action. Have to wait for release 1.0, though. ;-) |
Add: | A lot of polish and additions on the About Box. |
Add: | New internal command, FINDDUP. Finds duplicate files in any search path, including LIBPATH. |
Imp: | Reduced the number of concurrent Presentation Spaces (HPS's) used by the program. This should finally make Larsen Commander run fine on OS/2 Warp 3.0. |
Imp: | Show error code if we fail to execute an external program. |
Imp: | Console monitor now automatically stops scrolling when activated or if its bottom line is not within visible area. This makes it much more comfortable to look at the child program output before the child program has finished. |
Imp: | FTP.EXE and TELNET.EXE added to the default list of non-console programs. |
Imp: | No longer rereads content of file panels after the following shell commands has finished: DIR, SET, VER, VOL, PATH, PAUSE, TYPE, START and ECHO. |
Imp: | Keyboard focus is now automatically shifted to the command line entry field when you type any character while in the console monitor. |
Imp: | Improved the HELP command, and the ? command now prints help only for enabled commands. |
Imp: | Various painting optimizations in the console monitor to prevent some ugly flashing and unnecessary repainting. |
Imp: | Now the file panel isn't cleared when reading file names except if the file name reader thread uses more than 500ms to finish. This is to prevent the somewhat ugly flashing that used to occur each time a new directory was activated. |
Imp: | The installation script now gives the Larsen Commander folder an improved animated icon by default. |
Imp: | Column was sometimes calculated to be too wide in BRIEF mode. Especially if the column contained one or more very long file name. |
Chg: | To show a list of the current directory stack, type "POPD ?". |
Chg: | PUSHD with no argument will now push the current directory without moving into a new one. Just as in 4OS2. |
Chg: | The program process description was changed from "LCMD - Larsen Commander" to just "Larsen Commander". |
Fix: | The "Recent Directory" command is now part of the default "Commands" menu. |
Fix: | Painting bug in BRIEF mode when pressing RIGHT key and current column was wider than the width of the panel. |
Fix: | Pressing CTRL+R (reread current directory) several times without pause could sometime kill break program. |
Fix: | An unwanted empty line was sometimes inserted to the console monitor when child process was waiting for user input from the command line. |
Fix: | User input from command line to a child process sometimes overwrote the last output line in console monitor. |
Fix: | Erroneously printed an unwanted 'z' character to the console monitor on each user input from the command line to a child process. |
Fix: | File(s) was moved or copied even if the close-command was selected in the system menu of the move or copy destination specification dialogs. This should really operate as if the cancel-button was selected. Now it does. |
Fix: | Auto file name completion (CTRL+TAB) failed when prefix character(s) was the first character(s) in the command line. |
Fix: | Mouse clicking on the "left arrow" in the options dialog worked only partially. "Right button" worked OK. |
Fix: | Pressing just the ALT key in the options dialog activated the menu bar of the main window rather than the system menu of the options dialog. |
Fix: | Pressing ALT+F4 in the options dialog closed the main window as well as the options dialog window. |
Fix: | 12:30AM was erroneously displayed as 00:30AM. |
Fix: | Date and time format did not correctly respect the settings in the OS/2 Country System Setup object. |
Fix: | CTRL+UP and CTRL+DOWN scrolled command history even if caret was not in the command line entry field. |
Fix: | The code page and language code of the system was not respected when comparing file names in the sorting algorithm. |
Fix: | The TAG and UNTAG command line commands did not respect the user customized options saying if they should operate on files and/or directories. |
Fix: | Programs did not always launch to the foreground. |
Fix: | Unable to rename a directory when new name was the same with only different in character cases. |
Fix: | Unable to rename or move file or directory with name "..X" or "...X". |
Fix: | Trying to rename a directory "X" to ".\X" caused the directory to be moved into it self. This ended up with a deep recursive new directory until LCMD crashed with a bang. No files were lost, however. |
Fix: | The version string in the INFO panel was not formatted correctly. |
Fix: | The command line was left in a gray color when a program was launched from the command line using the START command. |
Fix: | Entering a very long command sometimes caused Larsen Commander to hang. |

DeskTop Backup is a simple tool that works with InfoZip's Zip (v2.2) and Unzipsfx to build a self-extracting zipfile containing your essential desktop and other configuration information. There is no magic or slight of hand concerning it's use and one can do the same work from the command line along with the InfoZip utilitities. DeskTop Backup merely makes it a bit more automated and will also help you decide what files may be important to archive.
DTB will also help find and list important files on your drive so you are able to do a more detailed backup than the standard OS/2 system desktop archive will give you.
You may add to the "suggested" file listings or do a separate setup of your own important files and directories as well. Such as? Well... maybe you want to do an archive of business correspondance or maybe back up a development directory every so often. You can do them on demand or automatically as well.
Saving several distinctive backup setups to be performed on demand or automatically is easily handled by DTB. You can also scan the chosen drive for existence of suggested files whenever you feel an update of the information is needed (new files important to your desktop may have appeared since the last setup).
As usual, we try to stay away from cryptic scripts etc. so "AutoStart" backups are simple point and click setups that update your situation automatically with just a mouse click. You can also save multiple archive setups and recall them at will as well as setting the scheduler to run automatically at startup to archive by "days between archives" or "day of the week".

The SFX Installer offers the first one file archive/installation tool widely available on the OS/2 platform. It marries the installation tool for your software and it's own setup tools into one friendly package for point and click installation setups that are personalized for your software. SFX allows you to build an archive in standard or self-extracting format, with or without the installer.
There are no cryptic scripts to learn to write other than any setupstrings you need to place folders and icons on the desktop. The installation setup tool allows you to point and click a complete setup. When you are satisfied with how the archive should be setup you can save all the information and recall it when needed. SFX will save and retrieve as many setups as you have disk space for and will help the author of multiple programs to keep them organized. It can also be used as a general zip file distribution builder as well.
The SFX Installer includes several novel details for the software distributer including:
1. DLL and help file placement (and tracking) into existing LIBPATH and SET HELP directories so your user may avoid adding to these paths and also avoid rebooting before usage.
2. An uninstallation script is written at install time specific to the users installation that will, track all files your program has installed and remove any WPS objects created at installation time. This uninstall script can be modified if needed via a plugin.
3. Authors can make use of Plugin scripts to overcome any installation limitations that your installations need to perform (examples included).
Although the installer is distributed as shareware, we invite freeware authors to use the installer free of charge as a small token of appreciation for their selfless work. Please read the license for more details.
