Kemp/!Filters/!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.

** !TaskFilters **
by Andrew Kemp
� KCE Software, 1994
Purpose
=======
Simple, low memory patches to RISC OS. No ROM modules are copied into RAM, so
TaskFilters is much more efficient than a lot of patches around. TaskFilters
uses RISC OS 3's own FilterManager system.
Using TaskFilters
=================
To install the patches, simply double click on the !Filters icon in the
directory display. Alternatively run the application from some sort of desktop
boot sequence. Predesktop makes sense, since then it is not re-run
unnecessarily every time you shut down and restart - but I'm not fussy... do
whatever you like!
TaskFilters provides you with three patches :
* Confirm
* IconSpr
* SetCSD
These will now be dealt with in turn...
(1) Confirm
===========
Confirm is very simple in use. Its sole function is to force the filer to
ask confirmation of delete operations, but only those. So if you turn off
'Confirm' in the Filer options menu, you no longer need be bothered by giving
confirmation for things like copy operations - only when deleting files.
N.B. Confirm _only_ acts on operations performed under the filer action
window, not on single tasking file processes. Use !Configure to turn on
interactive file copying, and make sure you have enough memory for the
filer action window to start up...
(2) IconSpr (IconSprite)
========================
IconSpr's main function is merging sprite files with the wimp sprite pool.
Simply drag the file to the Palette Utility icon on the iconbar. It has the
advantage over the *command '*IconSprites' that it does not attempt to add a
mode suffix in high-res modes. This means that you can load an application's
mode 12 sprites no matter what mode you are in.
If the shift key is held down as a sprite file is dragged to the Palette
Utility icon, the command '*ToolSprites' is performed on it instead. This
allows you to try out different window border files easily.
In both the above cases, a 'clean' redraw of the desktop is performed after
the sprite file has been loaded. You can perform such a redraw at any time
by simply clicking adjust on the Palette Utility icon.
(3) SetCSD
==========
SetCSD provides an easy way of setting the currently selected directory (CSD)
from the desktop. To do this, just drag the switcher icon (the Acorn on the
right hand side of the iconbar) using adjust, and drop it into the relevant
directory display.
Removing TaskFilters
====================
To remove TaskFilters temporarily, you can quit the module task from the Task
display menu. The filters will then reinitialise the next time the desktop
restarts. To remove TaskFilters more permanently, use the *command
'*RMKill�TaskFilters'.
Configuring TaskFilters
=======================
It is possible to configure TaskFilters so that one or more of the filters is
not installed. To do this, double click on the !Filters application while
holding down either 'alt' key. A window will appear in which you can choose
the filters that are installed. Clicking on 'Save' will then save your chosen
settings, and start up the module task. If no 'Options' file is present in the
!Filters directory, it is assumed that all filters are to be installed.
Bugs
====
Well I don't actually know what they are at the moment. But they're bound to
be there - so please do let me know about them... I would also welcome
suggestions as to improvements and changes in the program.
Disclaimer
==========
I accept no responsibility for anything you don't like about this application -
if you choose to use it, then that is entirely your own problem, and entirely
at your own risk.

Credits
=======
The Confirm filter is based on an idea by Keith Broadley.
Thanks are also due to Keven Cook (also of KCE Software) for listening to my
lengthy rambling and multitudinous changes of mind before I decided on this
format for the module.
Some of the Wimp procedures and functions used in !Config (the configuration
task) were written in conjunction with Keven Cook (KCE Software)
All other code is my own.
