Short: Recent file menus for Amiga apps Author: tomjoad@muenster.de (Rüdiger Hanke) Uploader: tomjoad muenster de (Rüdiger Hanke) Type: util/libs Architecture: m68k-amigaos Welcome to recent.library This is the first release of recent.library, a library that allows programmers to keep track of recently opened files to offer users "Open recent file..."-kind menus. The advantage you get from using this library instead of a self-made solution is beside the simplicity that the user will be able to access recent files from Workbench (as on Windoze). Features of recent.library are: - may be FREELY distributed with ANY program that uses it, be it PD, Freeware, Shareware or even commercial programs! - 100% assembler, so very small - keeps files divided in filetype groups if you have several recent lists to keep track of in your program (e.g. in a paint program for images, brushes, and palettes) - number of entries can be set for each group individually - automatically generates a "recent files" menu for you if you wish - loads and saves recent files lists automatically, you don't have to worry about this - with the upcoming Workbench tools users will be able to access recently used files from Workbench/DOpus, sorted by application or filetype. - written by a dedicated Amiga fan who won't jump ship, so the development will 100% continue Rüdiger Hanke, September 1999 tomjoad@muenster.de
