I've just posted this to comp.binaries.acorn.... Alan !Sticky 1.11 ============ Yet another sticky backdrop program, but this one has features that none of the rest have. These actually make it usable, unlike any others I have found. This is of course why I wrote it. Features: * Not a backdrop, but one or more windows, each with a data file. * Double clicking + dragging of groups * Group selections by drag box * Lays out group drags from filer nicely * Work area extent recalculated, when you move icons * Lock feature, prevents accidentally messing up arrangement. * Pull to front by double clicking on background, push to back by dragging or double clicking with adjust. * If accepting is enabled applications can save into it. (files go into same directory as data file) * Can drag stuff into a filer window to copy. If an object name ends in !, instead of being copied, it will be run with the directory as an argument. * Above provides things like set current dir by dragging Samples supplied in !Sticky.tools * Drag onto icon bar runs selection (but now double click runs all too) * Use by having a sticky window for each project you are working on, stored in the project directory. * Runs in one 32K slot. (on a 440) Probably won't go smaller, though. * Unlimited windows, icons limited at 256/window at the moment, easily changed. * Written in BASIC, so if you think of some really silly feature which I refuse to implement, you can do it yourself. Distribution: This application is hereby made freely distributable, but I retain copyright. At least, if the crazy law lets me, I will. Do anything you like except claim its all yours. If you feel kind, please tell me if you do anything interesting with it.
