LanMan Tree Menu Enabler
LMTree | v. 0.01 25-Feb-2003 (11k) 26/32bit neutral *** ESSENTIAL *** |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program : !LMTree Purpose : Enable tree-view menus of LanMan shares Author : (C) Jon Ripley, 2003 (GPL, see Licence file) Version : 0.01 (25th February 2003) Requires: !Director 0.17 or later ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've used !Director, you have probably noticed the tree menus you can access by clicking Adjust on a filing system iconbar icon. These provide a very useful way of accessing your files and applications. If you have used !LanMan98 or !LanManFS whilst !Director is loaded, you've probably noticed that clicking Adjust on the 'drive' icon of one of your open shares gives you a tree menu of the available shares, and like me you may have thought that it would be much more useful if a tree menu of the share itself popped up instead. LMTree is a freeware utility which modifies the default functionality of LanMan and allows you to benefit from Director's tree-view menus on LanMan shares. To install !LMTree, place it in your desktop startup sequence at any point after !Director has been run, whether !LanMan98/!LanManFS has been run or not. If you would like to disable !LMTree, which of course you'll never do, hold either Alt key and re-run !LMTree. Two different flavours of icon sprites have been provided for LMTree, the default set includes the Windows flag, and an extra set with the Linux penguin, you can use either depending on your preferences or types of computers you have on your network. To change the sprite set used by LMTree simply replace the !Sprites and !Sprites22 files in the man application directory with the equivalent files inside the WinFlag or Penguin directories which live inside the main !LMTree directory. Once you have done this re-run !LMTree to activate your changes. If you would like some application sprites for !LanMan98 or !LanManFS with the Linux penguin instead of the Windows flag, please download PenguMan which is available from the RISC OS Software section of the Stryker Software website. NB: LMTree incorporates TestAlt and an updated version of the Click utility supplied with !Director. This new version of Click has the added feature that it will work with any application that has more than one active iconbar icon. Please feel free to replace the version of Click that comes with same !Director with this one. This modified version of Click is released under the same licence conditions as the original. For more information please refer to Click release available from my website. |
