The code was mis-handling semicolons embedded in macros, treating
them as the start of a comment. It now checks to see if they're
at the start of a line or preceded by a space.
More volume name MOR conversions. I think I got them all.
This also switches the "archive info", "add files", and "extract
files" dialogs to use the System Font. We were using "MS Sans
Serif" before, which looks a bit ratty on Windows 7 because it
doesn't take advantage of ClearType. (Apparently the ClearType
version is "Microsoft Sans Serif", though when you set the "use
system font" boolean to true it changes the font name to "MS Shell
Dlg".) The old font also seems to be missing certain glyphs, e.g.
my HFS volume name had 'TM' in it, but that just showed up as a box
(which is why, in case you were wondering, these changes ended up
together).
The new font seems to work equally well on WinXP, so I may enable
it for all dialogs in a follow-up change. As far as I can tell it
has the same font metrics -- I haven't seen anything weird looking
in the dialogs I've updated so far.
Also, bumped the version to 4.0.0-b3.
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.
DeployMaster can detect whether or not CiderPress is currently
running by checking for the presence of a window with a specific class
name. The default class name is generated differently each time, so
we need to set a custom class name.
Also, bumped version to 4.0.0d2.
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.
This changes the Platform Toolset configuration from "Visual Studio
2013 (v120)" to "Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp)". Without
this change, executables built by VS2013 will not run on WinXP.
To actually run on WinXP, we also need to install the redistributable
msvcr120.dll and mfc120u.dll, both of which are fairly large. The
installation package has more than doubled in size.
At some point we may want to drop WinXP support -- Microsoft declared
end-of-life on April 8 2014 -- but if the only penalty is a 2MB increase
in installer size, we might as well keep supporting WinXP users.
