Aeres Commander Version 1.01

Fixed

16-04-2018
- Ctrl+T shows Left Folder
- Ctrl+Y shows right folder
- Ctrl+U makes both folders invisible.
- Folders work completely
- Possible Options for folders are: Left, Both, None. The option for Right does not exist.
- Selecting a folder updates the list
- Opening a folder, resets the width of the columns of the file view.
- Changed all text to English language.
- Created the option to send an Email through the Help form to M.Heerdink@gmail.com (Creator of the program)

=======================================================================
06-04-2018
- Folders no longer have a seperate Extension like files have.
Folders are shown with their full name.
The dot no longer marks them having an extension.

=======================================================================
05-04-2018
- When Switching folders, the hour glass is shown for the mouse pointer.
After reading the folder is complete, the mouse pointer will be reset to an Arrow.
- Pasting a folder using the button will work correct now.
- Fully set all text to English.
Base is Dutch, so there might still be some Dutch words to be found in the code.

19-04-2018
- Folder Compare. Ignore Date and Ignore Size default set to True.
If they are False they will not be found initially or set as Equal where they are different.
- Folders are marked with a different color
- Rows are drawn in the color that designates their difference.
Equal = Black
Different = Red
Left only = Green
Right only = Blue (Navy)
- All Options in Folder Compare work now.
The only thing left is the actual Synchronize.
- After a search and exit the find box, the file/folder will be executed
ie. on a Folder, the folder will be opened, on a file, the file will be opene/executed.

======================================================================
18-04-2018
- Basic Folder compare including subfolders works.
Initially only the difference between left and right are shown.
You do not want to see files that are equal (at first).
Activate that option at your own disgression.
- Compare options do not work yet, that is work in progres.
- Actual Synchronize does not work either.

======================================================================
17-04-2018

Changing a folder in the view causes finding of the folder in the treeview.
This action creates a 'flicker' in the treeview. This issue should be resolved in an upcoming version.
*** Changing in the treeview does not create the flicker.

• Fixed an issue with opening a folder in the treeview.
  When going back and opening the same folder again, the items where not deleted and the new folders
  where added just the same, creating a lot of subfolders.
• Fixed the error when adding a new tab. Error occured at 3rd tab.
• Fixed an error where adding a new tab the wrong folder was shown.
• Started working on Synchronize sub folder.

- Copy/Move Files
New Way of operating implemented
Before we open the form, all information is determined.
We know the source per file and the destination per file.
Inside the form we only have to walk through the list of files that are being copied/moved
there is not logic basically anymore the determine the destination.
Only the action and the logic needed for the form are now executed.
We needed this to use this same part to Synchronize with Folder compare.
- Copy/Move files
After pressing Pause and Cancel in that order, the previous form would not close.
This has been fixed.
- Folder Compare
Set up so we can use Copy program to do the work.
Only needs testing.
- Folder Compare
Simple testing in one folder works.
More Complex folders work too. Ready for use.
- Commander
On Start, Right selection bar disabled. Only left is shown.
With Tab (or Mouse) you can go to the right window.
- Folder Compare
First row used to be empty, this has been fixed.
Because of this, the count of files is now equal to the counted files on Total Commander.

======================================================================
24-04-2018
- FolderCompare.
Aeres Folder Compare differs from Total Commander Folder Compare.
The reason for this is that Aeres Commander has the option Ignore Size, which Total Commander
does not have. Because of this, files that are equal in Date, but different in size are shown as
different in Aeres Commander and shown as Equal in Total Commander.
- Folder Compare.
Synchronize dialog. Folders can be selected now using the button behind the edit box.
- Actual Synchronise will take some time.
I have to rewrite part of the copy function to use it with the compare function.
If i do not do that, i will have to write a complete new procedure only for the compare copy.

======================================================================
23-04-2018
- Reset of the Enter key in the View.
Enter on search only closes the search field and displays the row on the found item.
It does not execute the file/folder. If we did this, then Up and Down wouldn't work anymore.
- FolderCompare. Changed the way IgnoreDate and IgnoreSize work.
They should work better now.
- FolderCompare. After the compare is done, the information is shown on how many files are found
For each type of compare, a number is shown to indicate how many of those types of compare there
are. A number is shown for the items that are not displayed, because of the filter.

======================================================================
02-05-2018
- Each time you change a folder, the folder you enter is saved in the registry.
Using a menu for each view, you can see which folder you have entered.
Max folders that are saved are 25
The next folder will be shown at the bottom of the list and the first item will be deleted.
The list that is saved on the left differs from the list that is saved on the right.
When opening the menu, a Root sign shows the current folder in the list.
Even though it is a TForm we are using, it is in the folder Frames, because it behaves like a frame.
- List of folders was build using a form. Form not needed anymore.
A Menu is a better option.
Converted the Forms/Frames to TPopMenu
- Started on the popup menu for Favorites. Menu functions, items are not implemented yet.

======================================================================
26-04-2018
- Commander
Created the option to create multiple folders at once
If you enter a folder structure in the box, the complete folder, as far as possible, will
be created.
You can create a structure inside a folder that already exists.

For Example, you have the folder c:\Temp
You are in C:\ And you want to create c:\Temp\Example\Test\Here
Even if you stand in C:\ You can enter 'Temp\Examples\Test\Here\' in the folder box
and the structure will be created. c:\Temp already exists, so the program just ignores that
All the other (sub) folders will be created inside C:\Temp and so forth.

• There were still a few messages with the language Dutch. This has been fixed.

======================================================================
25-05-2018
- Timer and sort order
When the timer fired, the sort order was ignored.
Folders and files were reread, but the default order would be shown.
This has been fixed. After we reread a folder the contents will be sorted according to the
current sort order first. After that the contents will be shown.
- File Viewer
Created an option to view code in colors (4)
However, this works at the moment very slow. The bigger the file, the slower everthing gets.
Because it is not too fast, i implemented a progressbar.

• Colors are determined by the program. Default Yellow on Blue
• Words to color are default in ViewDefs.Pas

• if the program finds the following files (in the same directory):

  • <Extension>.WORDS (Will be displayed in clWhite)
  • <Extension>.CHARS (Will be displayed in clAqua)
  • <Extension>.COMMENT1 (will be displayed in clGray)
  • <Extension>.COMMENT2 (will be displayed in clGray)

  it will use the definitions in those files. Colors will be the same though.
  Example: Pas.words, pas.chars, pas.comment1, pas.comment2

  The difference between COMMENT1 en COMMENT2 is that COMMENT1 containts Line comment like //
  COMMENT2 contains block comments, like { and }

  • (All) Numbers will be shown in clPurple
