PD/Xuen11/!Xuen/!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.

Summary:
This application is intended to make using the Desktop more efficient.
By this I mean reducing the number of desktop activities needed to do
what you want, such as window opening, mouse clicking and so on.
Terminology:
Links menu - a menu brought up by clicking SELECT over the iconbar icon.
Options menu - a menu brought up by clicking MENU over the iconbar icon.
Windows menu - a menu brought up by clicking ADJUST over the iconbar icon.
'Folders' and 'Directories' terms have been used interchangeably.
'Links' and 'Shortcuts' terms have been used interchangeably.
These terms are well used outside of the RiscOS scope of computing so I
tend to use both without realising it.
Groanary:
It should be copied onto your harddisc before you attempt to use it with
the help of the instructions in the 'Install' file. It makes regular use
of the disc so floppy installation is not advisable.
It should work back to RO2.00. However, I can only test it on a RO3.11
system, because that's all I've got.
If you move the !Xuen application directory AFTER it has booted and run
then it's system variables will point to the wrong place with the
possibilty of it weeing new files in the place of the previous installation.
Before overwriting an old version, always make quit the program first and
then rerun afterwards.
This application uses tooltips that normally just show the time.
Occasionally it chooses random ones for a bit of variety, for instance
'Hablo Espanol!' is one. At the beginning of the !runimage file you will
find a comment explaining which variable to change if you wish to
disable the random tooltips. I might change this to show elapsed time
since computer was switched on and give warnings if you use your
computer too much.
Features:
* Bottom line of desktop is mouse hotspot and toggles iconbar to
front/back.
* Shortcut menu :-
Access pre configured filer objects from one place [inconbar SELECT]
by clicking on a 'shortcut' or 'link' to them.
* Window menu :-
Switch desktop windows from one convenient menu [iconbar ADJUST]
Switch windows with NO changes in mouse button state by hovering
pointer over iconbar icon while dragging, then drag to required window
which will also pop up while still dragging then drop the object
into the newly opened window. This works for things like Zap and
Impression and Artworks. Unfortunately it doesn't work for !Draw
and !Paint and !Configure. Possibly because their save boxes are
menu based.
* Link cacheing into shortcut menu on double clicking in any filer window
* Toolbox menu of useful development proglets [iconbar MENU->Toolbox].
Operation:
The window menu is designed to enable you to view all open windows from
one menu. You can click on any one of them and it will be opened to the
front of the window stack. You can cause a window to be brought to the
front of the stack without having to press any buttons. To do this you
must be dragging an icon. Drag the icon to the Xuen iconbar icon and hold
it over the windos list for a few moments. The windows list will open. Drag
the icon over the requested window item for a few moments and that window
will open, at which point you can drop your icon into it.
The links menu is designed to be empty to start with but you can add
any limks you like to it, so you can decide which programs will be most
usefully linked to.
Add links to shortcut menus by dragging and dropping their filer icon from
a filer display to the Xuen iconbar icon. Then select any item in a required
sub menu of the links menu structure to create a link in that part
of the shortcut menu. NB. The maximum theoretical number of links that
can be displayed at one time is about 300. More than this and DIM space
will be overstepped and strange things will happen. As long as the number
of links in each menu is kept to a reasonable amount, there is no limit
on the number of links that can be stored. I wouldn't recommend having
a huge number of links because it soon becomes as difficult to find
the link as to find the program using normal filer windows.
Create new link directories within the link menu structure by selecting as
if to run a link, but keep left ALT pressed down. A writeable icon will
appear at the bottom of the selected menu. In here you should type the new
directory name and press return.
To delete items from a link menu, select it as if you were about to
run it, but keep the right ALT button pressed while doing so.
If a file that was pointed to in the links menus is subsequently renamed
or moved, it's link will automatically be deleted as it is needed by
!Xuen. If a link is created to a disc that is subsequently dismounted or
renamed, you will be prompted once to insert that disc on the first
occasion the disc is searched for. If you choose CANCEL instead of
inserting the disc, the link will be deleted and all other links to that
disc will be automatically deleted as soon as they are encountered.
The links menu contains several special sub-directories that retain links
to programs that are run/loaded/booted from within the desktop. They
can be used to access recently used items. They each store up to 8 items
each and there are currently five different directorys. They normally
appear at the bottom of the shortcuts root menu below the dotted line.
Document - stores links to impression files.
Files - stores links to general files (not document or picture)
Folders - stores links to directories.
Picture - stores links to artworks files.
Programs - stores links to applications (directories beginning '!')
Note that occasionally !Xuen will fail to detect a file/progam that
has been run or loaded. This is a RiscOS thing and requires more
convoluted code to accurately detect all desktop filer activities.
Options menu:
The options menu enables you to do lots of miscellaneous things.
The Toolbox menu gives access to several little WIMP programmers goodies:
Clean - can't remember what this does. Something to do with
the filer cache that I've recently removed.
SmashnClose - used to perform a 'Hourglass_Smash' swi and
OSCLI("Close") together. Useful when WIMP programs
go wrong.
Edit Links - opens the links directory so you can do things like
renaming things.
SaveSprites - saves the current ROM and RAM sprite pools as two files
into the current directory.
The Advanced option makes the bootup/down related directories visible.
These directories have the following effects:
On startup, all the items in a directory called ~~Boot are booted. Then
all the items in a directory called ~~Run are run. Then all the other
items that are in the links menus are booted.
On quit, all the items in a directory called ~~RunQuit are run.
Recently removed features :
Filer Window Cache
Auto window cascading - now manual.
Known problems:
The choosing of an icon in the window list is quite flaky indeed. Just
look at the function PROCshowwindowmenu to see how many TASK names (as
seen in the task manager display) are manually remapped to valid icon
names ... RiscOS? WombleOS more like. This is because there is no
mechanism within RiscOS for one application to accurately choose the
correct icon that represents another task.
Coders information:
If you want to change this program, I recommend changing the system
variable <xuenbs$dir> so as to prevent any conflict between the new and old
applications. I recommend appending your initials to the end of the
Xuenbs part of the Xuenbs$Dir variable. So if your name was
Fat Freddy's Cat, you should change EVERY instance of Xuenbs$dir in the
application directory to xuenbsffc$dir. Ideally the system variable should
be allocated dynamically every time an instance of the program runs ( and
deallocated each time an instance terminates ), so as to change with each
new instance, but that's not really critical stuff to code.
Copyright information:
Freeware. All distributions must clearly state this program as freeware.
However, to get a later version and request bug fixes, you will have to
make it worth my while by sending something useful to me. I have rent
to pay and food to buy and student loan repayment demands to file in
the bin. Suggestions for improvements and bug reports are always welcome
though.
Disclaimer:
The author and any associated distributor do not take responsibility
for errors in the code causing damage to end user systems. It has been
thoroughly tested on an A3010 and an A5000, both running RiscOS 3.11
and with out any damage occuring whatsoever, even when severely
corrupted system configurations and broken source code have been used.
This program incorporates the ability to execute delete commands on
files on your file system. It can only delete files of type af3 which
I deem to be link files. The acorn docs say it is a type called
"duplicate", whatever that might be. It will also only delete files
from directories under the alias of <xuenbs$dir> which is set in the
!run file of this application. So if you make <xuenbs$dir> invalid by
moving the !Xuen directory or renaming the disc after it has started
running or immediately before running !runimage without running the !run
file, be warned, it's behaviour will be unpredictable. Most likely
however it will come up with the following error message:
'Invalid links have appeared in the links
directory or an application has corrupted the
<xuenbs$dir> system variable.
Please quit and re-run.'
TODO list:
The auto window open feature used to open the Windows menu by dragging
and holding an icon over the iconbar icon will hopefully be applied to
the shortcut menus.
Convert Windows and Links menus from menu structures to window structures
to stop conflict when dragging save icons from applications like !Draw
and !Paint.
Options window to configure things like current user at start up, global
file usage history window or Tree. This should build up an entire map of
objects used and frequency of usage and hopefully link them with currently
loaded applications so a search for a particular file with respect to a
particular user would be more successful than just a plain search. Another
idea is a multi keyword find utility where a disc search will return any
objects whose full path partially matches a subset of a set of key words
searched for, in addition to looking for certain text within files.
Good bye:
I hope you find this program useful.

Hint:
Although this program is freeware, donations of any good prescription
will be appreciated, especially those that interfere with my serotonin
and dopamine activity.
