Freeware/EasyFiler/!EasiFiler/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

EasiFiler is an application which is designed to make launching and
using applications much easier.
The idea was to produce an application which would replace the resource
filer. EasiFiler does this, but still alllows access to the resources
contained in the ResourceFS filing system, which are needed by many
applications. This is made possible by the fact that most filing systems
consist of 2 modules. The first contains all the code needed by the
filing system, while the second creates a Wimp frontend for the system
(the Apps icon on the iconbar).
EasiFiler allows you to have easy access to your favourite applications,
directories and files. Clicking on the icon open a window containing 16
icons. To add an object, just drag it into your chosen icon. The object
will then be added to the window. Once it is there, it can be activated
by simply clicking on it - you do not need to double click, as with the
regular RISC OS filer.
Clicking with Select activates the object, while clicking with adjust
activates the object, and closes the window (the actions of these buttons
can be reversed).
Clicking over an object with the Menu button opens a menu, which is
different, depending on whether the object is a file, a directory or an
application. The first item leads to a dialogue box, which gives
information about the object - its size, filetype, datestamp and so on.
Most of the options in these menus are self explanatory. The remove
option at the bottom removes the object from the EasiFiler window.
Holding down shift while you click on an object does exactly the same as
it would with the RISC OS filer, opening an application, or loading a file
into a text editor.
Once you have added objects to the window, you can save the changes so
that they are loaded when the program is next run (probably as a part of
your boot sequence). This is done by selecting the Save data option in
the iconbar menu.
There is also a ResourceFS option, which leads to a submenu containing
two options, $ and Apps, which open the corresponding directories of the
ResourceFS filing system. This is so that access is still available to
those applications held in the ROM. Clicking on the EasiFiler icon with
Adjust will also open the Apps display.
If you try to quit the application, either from the iconbar menu or the
TaskManager window or shutdown the desktop, while the object data has
been changed, but not saved, then EasiFiler will halt the process, asking
you if you want to proceed with the action, or save the data.
A choices option is also available in the iconbar menu. When this is
selected, a dialogue box is opened, which allows you to configure some
aspects of the application.
The first option is to kill the Resource filer. Although this may seem
harsh, and may crash the computer, because most parts of the system have
resources contained in the system, it is only the Wimp frontend module
(ResourceFiler) which is killed. The main ResourceFS module is left intact,
allowing access to these resources (and the ROM applications).
The second option configures which mouse button closes the window when
used. If this option is on, then the Adjust button will close the window,
when an object is selected, while clicking with Select will leave the
window open. If this option is deselected, then the reverse is the case.
The last option chooses whether or not the applications contained in
EasiFiler are Filer_Booted when EasiFiler runs, or if this should be left
in order for it to be done by a desktop !Boot sequence.
Things to do:
Replace whole RISC OS filer with EasiFiler style application
Allow user configuration of font style
Convert application to ARM code - Only if I get REALLY bored!!
