Kemp/!PinFilter/!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.

Purpose
=======

Three minor improvements to the operation of the RISC OS 3 pinboard, using
filters for memory efficiency.

Using PinFilter
===============

To install the patches, simply double click on the !PinFilter 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.

PinFilter provides you with three patches :

                 * PinFilter
                 * FilerPin
                 * Iconise

  (1) PinFilter
  =============

  PinFilter allows files to be dragged from the save dialogues of applications
  to the pinboard. They are then saved into the directory 'PinFilter:Temp'
  which is located by default inside the !PinFilter application directory.
  The file icon is pinned to the pinboard for easy retrieval.

  Should you wish to save the temporary files elsewhere, simply comment out the
  line that sets PinFilter$Path in the file !PinFilter.!Run, and set up
  PinFilter$Path to point where you want it. Note that the directory is still
  required to be called 'Temp'.

  To clear out the temporary directory (since the pinboard provides no facility
  for deleting files) just click on the item 'Info' in the Pinboard menu. This
  will open a directory display of the temporary directory.

  (2) FilerPin
  ============

  FilerPin simply intercepts attempts to iconise directory displays, and pins
  the relevant directories to the pinboard instead.

  Note that this filter does not become active until the Filer has received at
  least one UserMessage or UserMessage_Recorded. This means that it is
  possible that your first attempt will actually iconise the window as normal.
  Subsequent attempts should work fine. Simply opening a directory from an
  iconbar drive icon is enough to create such an event, however, so this is
  pretty unlikely.

  (3) Iconise
  ===========

  Iconise allows you to iconise windows without using the keyboard. To do
  this, click and hold down 'menu' over the window's close icon, then click
  select before releasing the menu button - the action of 'menu' simply
  duplicates that of the shift key for iconising. Of course you can still use
  the shift key for this purpose as well.

Removing PinFilter
==================

To remove PinFilter 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 PinFilter more permanently, use the *command
'*RMKill�PinFilter'.

Configuring PinFilter
=====================

It is possible to configure PinFilter so that one or more of the filters is not
installed. To do this, double click on the !PinFilter 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
!PinFilter 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.

=======

The PinFilter filter is based on ideas by Jonathan Mist, Keith Broadley and
myself.

The FilerPin filter is based on an idea by S.J. McDonald.

The Iconise filter is based on a suggestion by Grant Ingram. However adding an
extra window gadget, as in Windows <cringe> would have been much more
difficult...

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.
