A new version of Dropper has been uploaded to cica. It may be found
in the file drop_11.zip in the uploads directory, although it will
presumably be moved to the main archive at some time in the near
future.
Dropper v1.1
============
Dropper is a small program which allows you to perform drag and drop
to the Windows desktop. It is similar in many ways to the NeXT style
"icon dock" programs around at the moment. Rather than requiring that
drag and drop is performed to a strip along one side of the screen
however, Dropper allows any part of the desktop to be used as a target.
Dropper requires Windows 3.1.
Full documentation for this release of Dropper may be found in the
Windows help file "dropper.hlp".
Changes since v1.0
==================
1.1 The following features were added;
o Added "New Icon" and "About" to the system menu.
o Changed the "print" key from control to shift.
o Moving an icon with the control key down duplicates an icon.
o The Dropper icon itself now accepts dropped files.
o Reorganisation of the Global Dialog Box; hope I've improved
things!
o Now pays attention to the icon font selected in the [desktop]
section of win.ini.
o Visual indication of which icon has the focus.
o Use of cursor keys to move the icon with the focus.
o Misc. bug fixes (surprise!).
1.01 A maintenance release to cure a few serious bugs.
o Fix the terrible speed problem when "Stay in Background" isn't
selected.
o Fix the grouping of radio buttons in the Arrange Icons secion of
the global dialog box.
o Make sure that "Save Now" really does!
