BETA WARNING
============
WARNING!!!! This is a BETA VERSION, which means it was released into
public in order to find out about possible bugs. This version is NOT
intended to be used on production machines or any other OS/2 system
which you absolutely rely upon. I have tested this version thoroughly
(XFolder is part of my standard configuration), but depending on your
system configuration and running software XFolder might run into
problems.
XFolder is now registering five WPS replacement classes and is indeed
beginning to influence your WPS quite heavily. So, before installing
this version,
--- MAKE A WPS BACKUP ---
in order to be able to restore your Workplace Shell, in case XFolder
messes it up.
INSTALLATION
============
This is described thoroughly in the online reference of XFolder.
Please double-click on "XFLDR001.INF" in the XFolder directory and read
through the "Installation" subsection.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
Basically, nothing fancy:
- Either OS/2 Warp 3 or 4 with the WPS installed.
XFolder uses Warp 3 specific API functions. It will not run on
previous versions of OS/2.
INTRODUCTION
============
XFolder improves your Workplace Shell by registering replacement
classes.
Features:
-- XFolder can add entries to all of your WPS folders' context menus,
whose contents you can define yourself by putting regular WPS
objects in a special XFolder configuration folder. Anything placed
in this folder will immediately appear in the context menus of all
folders.
-- XFolder can also remove OS/2 default menu items.
-- All folders can now carry their full path in their window
titles (e.g. "C:\OS2\APPS" instead of just "APPS").
-- There are freely configurable hotkeys for use within folders
(e.g. F5 for "Refresh now").
-- "Snap to grid" feature for all folders.
-- Auto-scroll folder Tree views to make appearing items visible.
-- Extended Shutdown / Restart WPS only.
Please read through the "Introduction" section in XFLDR001.INF to
learn more.
