It's freeware; 2. Source supports build for any modern Amiga; 3. Correct switch between screens and windows on any modern Amiga; 4. The installer allows you to select the OS, path and switch key; 5. Tooltypes are supported and you can launch the application from WBStartup. ============================ R E Q U I R E M E N T ========================== SWitch tested and worked fine on the following configurations: - AmigaOS 3.9 (Kickstart 40.68, Workbench 45.1) - AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition (Kickstart 53.70, Workbench 53.14) - IcarOS i386 (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0) - AROS One i386 (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0) ================================= U S A G E ================================= If you don't write your tooltypes in the app icon, nothing terrible will happen. In this case SWitch will use the default values. SWitch by default thinks that you will use hotkey L.Alt + Esc for open "SWitch List" window. Tooltypes: DONOTWAIT Supported by Workbench. Without this tooltype, Workbench will wait until you quit this program before its launches the next. QUIET QUIET allows you to supress any warnings or error information SWitch outputs if not successful in setting itself up. Defaults to NOT being quiet. (QUIET=FALSE). HOTKEY This is the key to press to make the jump window appear. Default is "rawkey lalt esc". <- that's the LEFT ALT and ESC. POINTERRELATIVE When present, jump window will appear relative to the position of the mouse. To stop this from happening, change this tooltype to (POINTERRELATIVE). Defaults to not being pointer-relative. LEFTEDGE The left edge coordinate of the jump window. Defaults to 0. TOPEDGE The top edge coordinate of the jump window. Defaults to 20. WIDTH The width of the jump window. Defaults to 300. HEIGHT The height of the jump window. Defaults to 150. JUMPCLICKS The number of clicks needed to jump to a window. This value can be set to 1 or 2. If the value is one, clicking once on a screen or window name will activate the window. If the value is two, you must double-click the screen or window name. Defaults to 1. ============================= C H A N G E L O G ============================= Release 1.3, Eugene Sobolev - Splitting the source into two parts: AmigaOS 4 (interface support) and AmigaOS 3 (adapted for AROS ABIv0 support) - Added NewLook style for menu (old AmigaOS 2 menu is trash) - Fixed bouncing screen in AROS and AmigaOS 4 (related to incompatibly) - Removing windows without titles and with empty titles from SWitch List for protect of AROS Wanderer and AmigaOS 4 Workbench - Minimum requirements increased to AmigaOS 3 - Added Installer script with OS autodetect, path and hotkey setting Release 1.2, John Haubrich - I accidentally required V39 of intuition.library. The minimum requirement is now V37. Although V39 does offer some enhanced functionality. - The "Revision History" link in the documentation has been fixed. Release 1.1, John Haubrich Eivind 'Leo' Nordseth recommended two enhancements: - Scrolling down via keyboard no longer forces the active item to remain at the top of the list. - Pressing the hotkey more than once will not pop up the window list again after it is closed. Also, the documentation has been improved a little. Release 1.0, John Haubrich Walter Watzl asked for a commodity which acts like the OS/2 window switcher utility. Under OS/2, the Ctrl + ESC key sequence brings up a list of all windows and allows you to flip directly to whichever one you want. John written program duplicates and extends the OS/2 system. ================================ S O U R C E ================================ Based on aminet version source http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/SWitch_src This is based on the source code of the original version Switch 1.2 which was written back in 1994 by the talented programmer John M. Haubrich, Jr. You can find my source codes in Source directory. They are easily compiled with the attached Makefile in gcc for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4 and AROS ABIv0, like: $ make -f Makefile OS=AOS3 $ make -f Makefile OS=AOS4 $ make -f Makefile OS=AROS32 ______ ______ ______ ______ ______|:: .__|:: .__|_____ ______|:: ___|:: ___|______ _____ |: , |: | |: | |: ,_|: ,__|:___ |:___ |: - |: ,_| |__|___|______|______|___| _____|______|______|______|___| home cross-compilation factory
