Version 2.29. Retagged as 'Filer-2_29'

In the case of adjust dragging from one dir viewer to another it is safe to call CloseInitiatingDir because the operation is handled entirely internally. In the case of adjust dragging to a drive icon the dir viewer must be kept until after the next wimp poll so that the selection can be retrieved and the copy operation started.
DelViews.s: made the stack frame a bit more reasonably sized
GoFiler.s: removed some unused messages from the message list
MsgsIn.s: removed the corresponding dead switch

Version 2.29. Tagged as 'Filer-2_29'

Behaviour now matches 2.26 again.
Also, sort by name no longer preserves r0-r3 because the PRM says we can trash them.

Version 2.28. Tagged as 'Filer-2_28'

A signed comparison meant the larger files appeared last and in reverse order. Fixed by using an effective 40 bit compare by ripping off the date sorting code.
Also made all the reverse sort versions use common sorting by using ALTENTRY macros for the forware sort versions.

Version 2.27. Tagged as 'Filer-2_27'

Adjust clicking would recreate the menu immediately after the operation but before the next wimp poll when the directory gets recached, so the first entry in the cache is manually fixed up so the recreated menu is right (the files all get refreshed later anyway).
Collapsed switch 'Fix003', after 21 years of testing it's safe to assume it's good.
Reinstated ExtractCMOSOptions conditional on not OptionsAreInRAM so that combination still assembles.
Optimise MUL/ADD into MLA where possible, and set 'S' flag on ALU operations when followed by TEQ#0.
Tested with & without filer action running, fixes ticket 254.

Version 2.26. Tagged as 'Filer-2_26'

New arrivals 'Refresh' and 'Reverse sort' caused errors when used with !Help due to missing tokens. Volunteers from Germany sought.

Version 2.25. Tagged as 'Filer-2_25'

A previous fix in Filer-2_10 had changed the concatenation to be clamped at 10 letters so it doesn't overflow the buffer for long app names. However, having failed to find 'sm!app' it then just tried adding 2 to the string pointer therefore looking for a 10 letter sprite '!app'.
This is different behaviour to before Filer-2_10, which would have overrun thebuffer but at least looked for a full 12 letter name.
Optimised strncat a bit.
Put unused source file in the attic.
Trimmed some bug fix switches dating back to 1989.

Version 2.24. Tagged as 'Filer-2_24'

Detail:
  A bad merge of some kind meant that the size of m_main was decreased by one entry between revisions 4.5 and 4.6 of s/WkspEtc, causing the menu code to chop the last item off of the menu (the 'Refresh' item, as listed in s/MenuCreate).
  This change fixes the size of m_main so that the number of items matches the number in s/MenuCreate.

  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard.
  Fixes bug #233.


Version 2.23. Tagged as 'Filer-2_23'

Detail:
  It's been possible to sort Filer objects using various criteria for a long
  time but sorting objects in reverse order was not possible. This change aims
  to remedy that omission.
  The option 'Reverse sort' has been added to the 'Display' submenu of the
  Filer menu, allowing the sort order of individual directory viewers to be
  changed dynamically.
  The switch -ReverseSort has been added to the command Filer_OpenDir to allow
  it to open directories with the sort order reversed.
  The switch -ReverseSort has been added to the Filer_Layout command so that
  reverse sort order can be set as default for new directory viewers. The
  Filer_Layout command is also written to the FlrSetup file in Choices:Boot.
  Tasks by the Filer configure plug-in (which has been also updated to allow
  -ReverseSort).

Version 2.22. Tagged as 'Filer-2_22'

Detail:
  Added the command Filer_DClickHold to the Filer.
  It allows you to specify how long the second click of a doubleclick must be
  held down for before it is seen as a doubleclick-and-hold.
  The delay is specified in centiseconds, setting the delay to zero turns
  doubleclick-and-hold off.

Version 2.21. Tagged as 'Filer-2_21'

Detail:
  transfer_number was allocating 18 bytes of space on the stack, leaving SP unaligned. To avoid alignment exceptions on ARMv6+, 20 bytes are now allocated instead.

Version 2.19. Tagged as 'Filer-2_19'

Detail:
  s.Commands: Filer_Truncation code to parse OS_ReadArgs output block was
    written on the assumption that LDR allows unaligned accesses - this is
    only true as of ARMv6! We got away with it as long as all the truncation
    widths were <= 65535 OS units - which in practice is easily as wide as
    any screen anyone might use. Nevertheless, this is now fixed to use the
    LDW macro.
  s.DragEnd - d_filesperrow is a 1-byte variable, yet it was loaded using
    LDR. This is clearly wrong and may in part be responsible for offsets
    48-63 of Message_FilerSelection being nonsense (though they are still
    incorrect after this fix).
  s.Redraw - loaded colour values to pass to Wimp_SetColour from 1-byte
    variables using LDR, and hence was setting undefined bits. Harmless with
    current Wimps, but probably not a good idea.

  Builds but untested.

Version 2.17. Tagged as 'Filer-2_17'

Detail:
  The RO3 style guide states a main menu should be opened at x-64,y.
  Instead the filer was opening it's menu at x-192,y+16.
  This has now been fixed.

Version 2.16. Tagged as 'Filer-2_16'

Detail:
  Opening a viewer, iconising it then reopening it from its parent viewer or
  the iconbar doesn't remove the iconised viewer icon from the pinboard.
  Sending the message Wimp_WindowClosed (&400CC) when reopening an existant
  viewer fixes this.

Version 2.15. Tagged as 'Filer-2_15'

Detail:
  Changed handling of doubleclicks so that after checking for Shift-doubleclick,
  and Shift isn't pressed, it checks if the mouse button is depressed for at
  least 0.2s.
  Implements a loop that runs for 0.2s whilst checking mouse button status, so
  will starve background processes for that time but this is by far the easiest
  way to implement this.
  Also there's no option to turn it off, adding one should be easy though.

Version 2.13. Tagged as 'Filer-2_13'

Detail:
  When viewing directories on some network filing systems it is possible
  for the directory contents to change without the client knowing, and
  therefore the filer window becomes out of date. This refresh option
  can be used by the user to bring the window up to date without having
  to close and reopen it.
  It matches the same option provided on later versions of RISC OS 4.

Retagged as 'Filer-2_08'

Version 2.08. Not tagged

Detail:
  * Mered in RISCOS Ltd's fix for directory displays with more than 65536
    bytes of leafnames.
  * Tries to use Wimp_TextOp 4 to do ellipsis truncation. As a result, it
    can now cope properly with:
    + multibyte UTF-8 characters in leafnames (previously this caused
      problems even if not truncated)
    + WimpSymbol character substitution in leafnames
    + alphabets without an ellipsis character
    + fonts without an ellipsis character
  * Sprite icons in 'Copy as' and 'New directory' dialogue boxes are no
    longer filled.
Admin:
  Tested on Tungsten.

Version 2.08. Tagged as 'Filer-2_08'

Reception of message OpenDir was ignoring the flag bit which said whether or not the pathname given in the block was canonicalised - RamFSFiler 0.38 relies on this to expand its root dir viewer.Fixed that.

Adjust dragging dirs to the iconbar was opening them very low on the
screen as GetWindowCoords was just reading the iconbar top left corner -
now a special case overrides GetWindowCoords so it opens in a more
sensible default place.

Version 2.07. Tagged as 'Filer-2_07'

Regressed the name of the "Set work directory" menu item back to "Set directory" in the interests of not widening the menu.

Retagged as 'Filer-2_06'

  * "Directory" string removed from "New directory" dialogue box template.
    Unlike the version shipped in 5.00 and 5.01, this template file doesn't
    have its "Recurse" option button in the "Access details" dialogue box
    deselected.
  * When "New directory" dialogue box is opened, contents of the writable
    icon is now set to a null string, rather than the uninternationalised
    "Directory" that was used previously.
  * Uses OS_HeapSort32 instead of OS_HeapSort when the RMA is high.
  The following are new since then:
  * Fixed rubber dragboxes to use exclusive maximum coordinates, stops you
    dragging the box off the left hand side of the window.
  * Enabled SetDirectory option. Merged in 4.02's SetDirectoryComesFirst
    option, changed token in Messages file to read "Set work directory"
    instead of "Set directory" to match 4.02, and added the missing token
    MH?7? for interactive help.

Version 2.06. Tagged as 'Filer-2_06'

Picked up bug fix from ROL,in 2.04 you could select a file in one viewer and then adjust select a group in another viewer without the first file becoming unselected.

Added test so you're less likely to lose the "rename" writeable icon
when someone's updating filer windows.Now,only if the window being
reopened also has the writeable in it will you lose it.
Adjust dragging dirs to the icon bar will now close the parent (was
only files and apps before).
Create dir and Copy as templates tweaked for 3d borders in UK only as
the German ones are very out of date anyway.

Version 2.05. Tagged as 'Filer-2_05'

Detail:
  * Can now build versions compatible with RISC OS 3.5 or earlier (non-
    internationalised commands were missing)
  * Fixed a mistake in the Messages file that caused suboptimal tokenisation
  * Added a MkRam TaskObey file to ease standalone builds

Admin:

Version 2.00. Tagged as 'Filer-2_00'

Detail:
  * People using ShareFS to write to remote discs will find that they
    annoy the person on the remote machine because their directories
    update randomly. ShareFS, unlike most other parts of the system, uses
    EnsureSize when creating files. This causes an upcall for the modified
    file. Filer was blindly assuming that it understood the format of
    /every/ file modified upcall > 8 (ensure file is one of those) and
    that they had a filename in a particular register. For ensure size,
    that register contains a file handle and would cause Filer to go
    "What ? /Where/ ?! Oh, I'll mark all the windows as dirty because I've
    no idea what's going on any more". But then it only marks one window
    as dirty.
Admin:
  Fix tested extensively in ROL version 4.01 and later.

Version 1.99. Tagged as 'Filer-1_99'

Detail:
  Rename routine gets away with Push "r15" because it has only been
    tested on a StrongARM - probably blows the system away if not SA.
  Incorrect condition reversed in DoOSCLIInBox - if the command window
    opens, then the routine exits without doing the command.  Now the
    exit occurs if that SWI failed.
