Current Bugs / Future posibilities

  * Show Xpms with or without thier masks?

  * dir_list[] is limited to 256 sub-directories and no limit tests
    are performed.   -- Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 4.2

  * Change in the loading of the file symbols due to the library function
    XCreatePixmapFromBitmapData() inverting the symbols on displays which
    have the black and white pixels (0 and 1) inverted (NCD xterminals).

  * Bad load of Pixmaps (no bitmap assigned) being set as Text.  Fixed.

  * Bug fix for directory listings when number of sub-directories changes
    The default columns used in widget being updated BEFORE the new list
    had been added  -- solution and patch by   Heiko Schroeder  -- Thanks

  * Addition of a Full Rescan button on the main window.

  * Symlink test macro for SVR4 by John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com>


Version 4.1

  * Bug fixes and suggestions made by the current list of Beta Testers.

  * Changed file symbol bitmap to pixmaps of correct depth to attempt
    to fix a problem with xbmbrowser on Linix and other systems. This
    also makes files symbols standout over normal bitmaps on color displays.

  * Added a shorthand "-cf" option for "-config"


Version 4.0   Changes by Anthony Thyssen

  * New RC file format which allows better control of user menu actions

  * Seperate user menus for major file types

  * Expanded Default User Menu (assuming pbmplus is available)

  * Rescursive Scan of directories option.
    This was suggested by Steve Kinzler <kinzler@cs.indiana.edu> to
    allow better handling of his own faces library.

  * Don't recurse into sym-linked directories (show them as links instead)


Version 3.3 (internal)   Changes by Anthony Thyssen

  * Provide symbol icons to the non-displayed files and directories.

  * Deletion of the Help Button and Help File to be replaced with..

  * A Options Menu to interactivly turn Program options on and off.

  * Resources and Command Line Options to control initial setting of 
    the options menu.

Verson 3.2   Changes by  Ashley Roll and Anthony Thyssen

  * Pixmaps now free their colors correctly when deleted or xbmbrowser
    changes directory.

  * Current directory text widget, move cursour to end and append '/' 
    automatically, to allow easier modification by the user.

  * Color Resources added which matchs the AIcons Library Colormap.

  * Now checks if the file it is trying to load is a binary file and ignores 
    it if it is. This was done because the procedures that load and create a 
    Pixmap from a file had a nasty habit of crashing when given a binary file.


Verson 3.1   Changes by  Ashley Roll

  * Minor corrections from users on the network.


Verson 3.0   Changes by  Anthony Thyssen

  * Complete rewrite of data structures and routines for reading and 
    displaying the icons from a directory.

  * Addition of X Pixmaps and color

  * File type enumeration (Bad, Dir, File (unknown), Xbm, Xpm, BadXpm...)

  * Minor changes to get_files() in misc.c for determining file type
    and recording the last modified time.

  * Change to method used to display icon details when pointer inside
    a displayed icon. Avoid scanning the data structure for the icons name
    by setting the name into the widget used.
      Their should be a way of attaching a general pointer to any widget.
    You would think that givening a structure pointer instead of a string
    for a widgets label would work but it doesn't. XtSetValues it seems
    makes a new copy of any string passed to it for use by the widget.

  * Made two global strings for information labels for information on the
    number of bitmaps, pixmaps, unknown files and directories present in
    the current directory to be displayed. Very handy.

  * Removed the Scan directory completely method for a rescan changes
    method. This method is equivelent to the original if the old file_list
    is destroyed before it is called.
