The previous version was written to work on Win98+, and used the
rather gnarly ShellTree class. Since we no longer support Win98,
we can now use CShellManager::BrowseForFolder(), which does exactly
what we want without all the ugly code (and it looks nicer, and it
integrates better with the rest of the system).
We can also get rid of NewFolderDialog, which only existed to allow
the user to create a folder when trudging through ShellTree.
This required "upgrading" the main app object from CWinApp to
CWinAppEx, but that appears to be benign. Tested on WinXP and it
all seems fine.
This handles version 1 and 2, and copes with the broken files
created by the Mac OS X "applesingle" command-line tool (which is
unable to decode the broken files it creates).
I get the sense that many AppleSingle files don't end with ".AS", so
the filespec includes "*.*" as well.
Some AppleSingle files don't include a filename. In that case, we
use the file's name as the entry name, minus any ".as" extension.
The current implementation doesn't convert from Unicode to Mac OS
Roman, so non-ASCII characters are mishandled unless the file was
generated by GS/ShrinkIt. (We assume version 1 AppleSingle files
use MOR name strings.)
Also, version bump to 4.0.0d3.
The file extraction dialog allows you to select file parts, so you
can choose to exclude resource forks or just extract disk images. If
you don't choose any parts, nothing will extract, and you get a
confusingly generic message about nothing matching the criteria.
This adds a specific error message for the case where no parts are
selected.
The DeployMaster installer issue prevents the user from seeing more
than nine of the 18 file extensions that CiderPress wants to handle,
and I don't want to go stomping on file associations without some
way to disable the behavior. So this returns to the previous behavior,
where CiderPress directly manages the file associations.
The CiderPress app is not able to modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (which
it used to do via HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) on recent versions of Windows --
tested in Win7, but it probably broke with Vista. So now we do
everything in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This works, more or less.
We're not looking at the Windows shell overrides, which are made
in yet another set of registry entries, so there are multiple
reasons why the values reported by the Edit Associations dialog may
now be inaccurate. I still favor eliminating the dialog as a
long-term strategy.
I took the opportunity to do some code cleanup in the registry code.
I also added calls to SHChangeNotify() to tell the Windows shell when
file associations change, so Windows Explorer windows get updated
promptly.
In the past, CiderPress managed its own file associations. This is
the feature that launches CiderPress when you double-click on a ".shk"
file. The installer ran "CiderPress -install" and "-uninstall" during
installation and removal to give CP a chance to establish and clean
up the necessary registry entries.
The code built with VS6 works fine. The code built with VS2013 fails
with an access denied error. It appears there have been some access
policy changes, and the older code is getting "grandfathered in". This
is really something that the installer ought to be handling, though,
so rather than figure out how to fix CiderPress, I'm removing the
file type association code from CiderPress and letting DeployMaster
handle it.
This may be slightly less convenient for anyone who had reason to
change type associations frequently. Modern versions of Windows have
relatively easy to use control panel UIs for adjusting types, and
the "advanced installation" feature of DeployMaster allows you to
un-check the types that you don't want to have associated with
CiderPress.
(...with one minor hitch: DeployMaster 4.2.2 only shows the first 9
associations, and CiderPress has 18.)
This change renders most of the registry-handling code obsolete, as
well as the "-install" / "-uninstall" handling. I'm 99% sure I want
to go this way, but I'm keeping things #ifdefed rather than deleted
for the moment.
Visual Studio figured out variadic macros around 2005, so we can
finally replace the explicit-arg-count debug log macros.
Also, fixed some include guards.
Also, bumped version to 4.0.0d1.
CiderPress and MDC now compile, and execute far enough to open
their respective "about" boxes, but I doubt they'll do much
more than that.
* Switch from MBCS to UNICODE APIs
Microsoft switched to UTF-16 (by way of UCS-2) a long time ago,
and the support for MBCS seems to be getting phased out. So it's
time to switch to wide strings.
This is a bit awkward for CiderPress because it works with disk
and file archives with 8-bit filenames, and I want NufxLib and
DiskImgLib to continue to work on Linux (which has largely taken
the UTF-8 approach to Unicode). The libraries will continue to
work with 8-bit filenames, with CiderPress/MDC doing the
conversion at the appropriate point.
There were a couple of places where strings from a structure
handed back by one of the libraries were used directly in the UI,
or vice-versa, which is a problem because we have nowhere to
store the result of the conversion. These currently have fixed
place-holder "xyzzy" strings.
All UI strings are now wide.
Various format strings now use "%ls" and "%hs" to explicitly
specify wide and narrow. This doesn't play well with gcc, so
only the Windows-specific parts use those.
* Various updates to vcxproj files
The project-file conversion had some cruft that is now largely
gone. The build now has a common output directory for the EXEs
and libraries, avoiding the old post-build copy steps.
* Added zlib 1.2.8 and nufxlib 2.2.2 source snapshots
The old "prebuilts" directory is now gone. The libraries are now
built as part of building the apps.
I added a minimal set of files for zlib, and a full set for nufxlib.
The Linux-specific nufxlib goodies are included for the benefit of
the Linux utilities, which are currently broken (don't build).
* Replace symbols used for include guards
Symbols with a leading "__" are reserved.
