Added a 'More Options' pane, to allow finer control
over CF's
behaviour. If you have been using the first version
(1.0) of CF,
you might want to take a look at these new options,
since their default values are the opposite of what
they (implicitly) used to be in version
1.0.

Fixed problems when running under Mac OS versions
prior to OS 9 (i.e., OS 8.5.x and 8.6). The
CF
Extension
was affected by incorrect build options (we forgot
to "weak link" to OS 9-specific routines in
'InterfaceLib'); and the CF
CP was affected by strange crashes when the
threaded Finder loaded & executed its
PPC-native 'cdev' code resource. Now,
CF
actually works as advertised under those earlier OS
versions. ;-)
-
Fixed an annoying glitch where CF
might occasionally cause a server-login dialogue
(or disk-insertion prompt) to appear, or an
unmounting remote volume to silently remount, as
described in the Troubleshooting section in
the 'Closed Folders Support' document.
-
Converted the CF
CP into a new-style CP with a type-code of 'APPC'.
[Actually, we're still internally using a
'cdev' code resource, but we have now made it
private (by changing the resource's type-code to
'Cdev') and have implemented a full application
"shell" to load and execute it.] In effect, the
CP is now a regular native application, and no
longer suffers from memory scarcity and other
limitations of old-style CPs. At the moment, it is
not very scriptable (it supports only core
AppleScript commands such as 'run' and 'quit'), but
future versions will add more
scriptability.
-
Made several cosmetic changes in the
CF
CP, to accommodate the new disclosure triangle and
associated 'More Options' pane. In general, the CP
window is now wider and shorter, many of the major
groups are now framed, and new-style bevel
separators replace the old-style outlines ('nrct'
rectangles).
