[StrongED] StrongMen 1.27 available

[Fred Graute <fjgraute@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

StrongMen 1.27 is now available for download from:
http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/fjg/

Choices support
===============

The use Choices is now fully supported. Configuration files are now kept
in Choices.StrongMen.UserPrefs. with default files being located inside
the application. If there's no Choices directory, a UserPrefs directory
will be created inside StrongMen.

The above does mean that configuration files need to be moved to the
UserPrefs directory for StrongMen to see them. Also the internal
structure of the application has been changed to separate application
files from configuration files. As a result upgrading is not straight
forward, to make this easier a small application is provided that can
perform the upgrade. Read the installation instructions carefully.


New commands
============

There are 3 new commands available: #Nil, #ListDir# and #ListTree. #Nil
can be used to prevent 'file not found' errors. #ListDir and #ListTree
will build a menu from the contents of the given directory. #ListTree
will recurse into subdirectories.


Keyboard support
================

Previous versions used the KeyExtend module to assist with keyboard
support. Although this worked quite well the KeyExtend module had some
issues. This version therefore uses a new module StrongKeys which relies
on the DeepKeys module for details of keys pressed.

In addition to the old ^Up-arrow for Ctrl and Shift you can now also use
the cs- notation which is easier to read and enter. The Logo key can be
used as a modifier key too, thanks to the new keyboard support.


New options
===========

A couple of new options have been added. You can select to open the
StrongMenu at the right screen edge (probably only useful if you use
something like SmartMenu). A margin can be set for clicks at the screen
edge. The click-and-hold behaviour is now configurable and the hold
delay can be set too.


Drop to add
===========

Normally adding things to the menu is done by editing the StrongMenu
file. This version provides an extra way of adding links to Filer
objects (applications, directories and files). You drop them on the
iconbar-icon. This will open the menu in insert mode and you can
navigate through the menu and click where the link should be inserted.


Cheers,
Fred.
