2010-06-24: Version 2.17.8:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 fixes:
  - fixed possible lockup when starting external programs
  - fixed color for line numbers in text view

 other changes:
  - updated Czech translation (Thanks to Petr Korviny)

2010-06-16: Version 2.17.7:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - it is now possible to enter new labels in the popup menu.
  - for own command and "start prog" command the output of the external
    program can be displayed with the internal viewer.
  - added new column to show file sizes in a human readable format (mb,gb,...)
  - the volume manager now also shows the volume label and size (if reported
    by HAL).

 fixes:
  - new device detection didn't work correctly if hal and fstab entries
    are mixed.
  - fixed wrong number display with thousands separator that uses more than
    one byte (utf8).
  - fixed small visual glitch with list view redraw when moving files.
    If a dialog comes up it was possible that the wrong entry was displayed.

 other changes:
  - files which cannot be stat'ed will be visible in the list view now.
    A dialog will no longer come up.
  - devices hidden in the volume manager will not be reported as new.
  - when opening the bookmark manager a best matching entry will be searched
    if the currently active entry is not stored as a bookmark.
  - changed method to run external programs which also makes the cygwin
    workaround flag in the configure script unnecessary.
  - slightly improved determination of free space to reduce update delays.

2010-03-01: Version 2.17.6:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - the event handling has been improved so the process does not wake up
    too often. That might be beneficial for laptop users to save battery
    power.
  - Worker now opens a dialog when new devices become available to ask
    what to do with them (mount them, open volume manager or do
    nothing). There is a new option in the volume manager section to
    disable this behavior.
  - it is now possible to sort the file list by file permissions
  - the layout configuration has an additional option to apply the
    list view weight relatively to the active side. That makes it
    possible to set the current side to 80% of the window width
    regardless of whether it is the left or right side.
  - there is a new command option --config to choose a different
    configuration directory.

 other changes:
  - HAL support status is shown in about window.
  - improved built-in configuration to be slightly more useful in case
    no other configuration is found.
  - the button for editing the list of hidden devices in the volume
    manager has been removed, the dialog can be accessed with the
    secondary button function of the hide button.

 fixes:
  - improved detection of new devices. Sometimes they were reported
    multiple times or never (if they have been reconnected).

2009-11-10: Version 2.17.5:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added volume manager to mount and unmount devices
    - devices can be mounted via HAL if available and by traditional
      fstab mount
    - Worker shows an information in the state bar if a new device becomes
      available
    - A new command "Volume manager" is available to access the corresponding
      UI (the hotkey can be downloaded from the add-ons section at the
      homepage). The default key is Alt+v.
    - Commands used to mount/unmount devices can be configured in a new
      config section (only required if HAL is not used)

 other changes:
  - file list filter is shown in list view bar
  - added configure option --enable-cygwin-workaround so Worker runs without
    problems on Cygwin
  - updated Italian, Latvian and Czech translation

2009-06-02: Version 2.17.4:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added "change layout" operation to change the main window layout during
    runtime
  - different weights may be used for the list views
  - added option to the "search entry" operation to match inside file name
  - Worker shows possible keys for double shortkeys in the state bar

 fixes:
  - fixed message about importing special file types, original and new one
    was swapped
  - fixed bug for label colors, it was possible that a color from an entry
    in a sub directory was used instead of the correct one

 other changes:
  - added Latvian translation
    (Thanks to Einars Sprugis)
  - changed tab text to only show base name instead of full path
  - added some hotkeys to default configuration for layout changes:
    Ctrl+l 1 will make left list view wider (80%/20% partitioning)
    Ctrl+l 2 will make both list views use 100% of the window width
  - added some hotkeys to show current path on the other side in a new tab
    (Alt+o and Alt+Shift+o)
  - the "go to directory" operation now accepts file names and will highlight
    the given file in the corresponding directory.
    There is an example button "go symlink" to follow a symlink to its real
    destination
  - changed mount/unmount button to give some message if the operation failed

2009-03-12: Version 2.17.3:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 fixes:
  - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3

 other changes:
  - updated Czech translation (Thanks to Petr Korviny)
  - updated Polish translation

2009-03-06: Version 2.17.2:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added tabs;
    All tabs share the same directory cache so if you select some entries in
    a directory and you enter this directory in a different tab the previous
    selection is available.
  - added "modify tabs" command;
    default keys are ctrl+page up/down for previous/next tab and ctrl+t/w
    for new/close tab

 other changes:
  - improved layout configuration
  - made checks for bookmarks and labels faster
  - updated Czech and Slovak translation (Thanks to Petr Korviny and
    Stanislav Pavlica)

2008-12-18: Version 2.17.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 fixes:
  - fixed endless loop in layout function for the GUI which was triggered in
    version 2.17.0

 other changes:
  - bookmark UI tries to use as much space as necessary so no horizontal
    scrolling is required

2008-11-11: Version 2.17.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added more options to find dialog
    it is possible to set modification time limits and search for given file
    size
  - files or directories can now be labeled to make it easier to find important
    or frequently used files
    - Each label may have a specific color which will be used to highlight the
      corresponding entries.
      There is a new configuration section for these colors.
    - Parent directories also will be displayed in this color to indicate that
      there are some labeled entries in this or some sub-directory (though this
      feature can be disabled in the configuration of the normal file lister)
    - there is a new command to change file labels which can set or remove
      a given label on the active entry or ask for the label with a popup menu.
      The same menu is available in the context menu of the selected entry.
      The example config comes with the hotkey alt+l for keyboard access.
    - all labeled entries are stored as bookmarks so they are available for
      editing in the bookmark dialog
  - the "set filter" command has been enhanced to allow showing only bookmarked
    entries or entries with a specific label. That makes finding some bookmarked
    (or labeled) entry much easier. The command may directly set the given filter
    without additional interaction or a popup menu may be used to query the
    filter. The example configuration uses the hotkey ctrl+d for opening the
    popup.
  - the bookmark dialog has been enhanced to handle the new labels.
    The current entry in the file list is also highlighted if it is also
    present in the bookmarks.

 fixes:
  - recursions in worker actions are now limited to not eating up all memory
  - fixed a bug where in some circumstance the file type recognition indicator
    keeps busy even if there were no files left to identify

 other changes:
  - the string filter (activated with ctrl+s) is now not cleared when
    reloading the same directory

2008-07-03: Version 2.16.5:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 fixes:
  - the default value for the libmagic decompression option was not
    correctly initialized

2008-07-01: Version 2.16.4:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - file type recognition by using libmagic can optionally decompress files

 fixes:
  - adding "run custom action" to command list of a file type opens the
    configuration just as for the other commands
  - fixed very rare problem when worker waits forever for an external
    program to exit

 other changes:
  - updated Slovak translation
    (Thanks to Stanislav Pavlica)
  - copy/move/delete operation limits redraw of file list to speedup operation
  - changing symlinks updates the directory afterwards
  - bookmarks are now sorted
  - creating new file types uses colors from parent type as default
  - the content of the text fields in the search UI is not copied to the
    clipboard when the window is opened

2008-04-17: Version 2.16.3:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - the file search can be limited to only search the same device as
    the base directory
  - added experimental XFT support (enabled with --enable-xft)
  - there is a new filter in the file type configuration for showing
    only matching file type names in a sorted list
  - added support for libmagic (from "file") so file types can also be
    recognized by the output of this library
  - added optional alias for bookmarks

 fixes:
  - fixed text search in file viewer; after the last match was found the next
    search did not started again at the beginning of the document
  - fixed a minor memory leak in configuration parsing if the configuration
    file contains errors

 other changes:
  - the command to calculate the directory sizes can now be aborted by
    pressing Escape and the window is also redrawn during operation.
    The directory name currently scanned is limited to fit into the
    state bar and it will only be updated once per second.
  - improved startup times
  - faster window update for file type updates during recognition

2008-02-11: Version 2.16.2:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added text search in file viewer
    - search can be activated via hotkey '/', Ctrl+f, Ctrl+s or Ctrl+i
    - search is case sensitive for mixed/upper case characters and
      case insensitive if all characters are lower case
    - regular expressions can also be used
  - added configure settings for colors of text view selection
  - added option (in general settings) to disable saving the worker state on
    exit
  - added popup menu when clicking on the statebar with right mouse button;
    menu allows to access 'about', 'configure', 'quit', and to save the current
    worker state (useful if disabled in configuration via the new option)
  - added command to open the worker menu

 fixes:
  - fixed ftp command to store passwords (if enabled) of different servers
  - fixed file length limit in file viewer to correctly handle files
    larger than 2GB

 other changes:
  - file name in text view and search is shortened to fit into window
  - added double buffering in file viewer to avoid flickering

2007-12-03: Version 2.16.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - improved chmod to allow adding or removing permissions instead of just only
    setting them (for example useful for setting the write bit while leaving
    all other permissions at original value)
  - added type-ahead filter for the context menu for faster access (disabling
    all entries not matching the filter)
    (backspace will clear the filter again)

 fixes:
  - the internal file viewer no longer blocks forever when trying to view
    non regular files like pipes. Worker now tries to read some bytes for only
    a few seconds.

 other changes:
  - improved the speed of the internal file viewer, word wrapping is much faster
    for large files. As a side effect the initial size with enabled word
    wrapping is increased to 512 KB
  - the maximal buffer size for the file viewer is limited to 1 GB and the
    reload key doesn't work anymore if the file is already loaded completely
  - correctly set keyboard focus for popup menus when using the mouse
  - added time out for double short keys
  - updated Italian catalog
    (Thanks to Giulio Canevari)

2007-11-08: Version 2.16.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added context menu for access to actions defined for the corresponding
    entry
    The menu is opened with the right mouse button which was previously used
    for list view scrolling. This action is now activated by shift + right mouse
    but it can be changed in the section about mouse button configuration
  - added custom file type actions so it's possible to use more than 10 (user)
    actions and also give them a reasonable name.
    There is a corresponding command to activate a custom action by name and
    it can also be selected in the new popup menu
  - added modifier key option in the mouse button configuration so the four
    mouse actions can be assigned to mouse buttons
  - added command to activate context menu for keyboard use
    (assigned to Ctrl+Space in default config)

 fixes:
  - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
    (Thanks to Tobias Toedter)
  - for very long file names the text view window was to wide
  - the dialog in text view was set transient for the wrong window
    (Reported by Sascha Hunold)
  - fixed missing redraw in automatic creation of file content test

 other changes:
  - viewing program in own command is hidden if it's not used
  - the dialog for large files in text view can be canceled
  - saving the configuration now only writes non-empty file type actions
  - added Czech translation
    (Thanks to erno)

2007-06-07: Version 2.15.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added directory bookmarks
    - it's possible to add directories and select whether a specific entry
      will be highlighted when jumping to the bookmark
    - the list of bookmarks can be filtered by entering some characters
      (Shift-Backspace clears the filter)
    - the list of bookmarks is written back to disc immediately whenever
      a change occurs so any running Worker will see the new list when
      opening the bookmark dialog
    - the default key in the example configuration is meta-b (and ctrl-\)

 fixes:
  - fixed some problems in the internal text view with very long text lines
    It could happen that the word wrapping doesn't work correctly or
    a line gets overdrawn making it unreadable
    As a side effect the text view is significantly faster if word wrapping
    is disabled
  - fixed a minor bug introduced in Worker 2.9.0
    many commands just didn't had any effect if they were assigned to
    drag'n'drop action
  - fixed bug in the configuration of the interval text viewer which
    prevented the setting of the the viewing mode
  - fixed a small visual glitch when "+" was displayed in the list view bar
    but no search filter was actually active
  - fixed file choose dialog in configuration export, it wasn't possible to
    enter a new name

 other changes:
  - the command "go to parent dir" now deactivates the search filter instead
    of actually going to the parent directory
  - since text viewing is much faster now the default buffer size is raised to
    2 MB (with enabled word wrapping it's still 64 KB)
    it is however now possible to increase the buffer on demand by clicking
    on "Read more" (or pressing "r") in the text view.
    The text viewer also asks to read the complete file if it's larger than
    the default buffer size
  - the horizontal scroller in the text view now only takes the visible lines
    into account
  - the scrollers in the text view no longer uses the background colour of the
    text view making them more readable
  - updated Italian catalog
    (Thanks to Giulio Canevari)

2007-03-22: Version 2.14.4:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 fixes:
  - fixed bug introduced in Worker 2.14.3: It was possible that the directory
    entry ".." was not visible but a phantom entry (from previous directory)
    was visible at the end of the file list.
    This can happen when hidden files are not visible and the file system
    returns the ".." entry in an unusual order.
    Worker outputs an error msg ("Nr of entries does not match real value!")
    in this case.
    (Thanks to Panayotis Papasotiriou for reporting this bug and helping
     tracking it down)

2007-03-19: Version 2.14.3:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - when searching an entry in the list view (with Ctrl-s) the list will be
    filtered on-the-fly to only show the matching entries. The filter is active
    until the directory is reloaded or another search is started.
    The list view bar indicates such a filter by using a "+" character (in
    contrast to "*" when normal filters are active)
    This feature can be deactivated in the configuration of the list view mode.
  - ftp command: it's possible to use an anonymous login

 fixes:
  - search: jumping to files containing wildcards characters ([,*...)
    didn't worked correctly
    (Reported by Johannes Rosky)
  - fixed a visual bug where it was possible that both sides highlight the
    active entry

 other changes:
  - added Slovak translation
    (Thanks to Stanislav Pavlica)
  - initial language selection shows now a list of available languages
  - search: the file name field is focused when opening the window
  - search: when the search is finished the number of results is updated
    correctly in the list of previous searches

2007-01-30: Version 2.14.2:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 fixes:
  - fixed a problem with corrupt directories
    If the entry ".." occurs several time in a directory listing, some real
    entries weren't shown in the list view
  - search result "/" (just the root dir) was displayed as "//"

 other changes:
  - match name in search is now case insensitive by default
  - pressing ctrl+return anywhere in the search window now immediately starts
    the search
  - text view highlights the line when jumping to a line or viewing a search
    result
    (Thanks to Sascha Hunold for a patch)
  - search results now uses list view colors from main list view
  - text view colors are configurable
  - the GUI is more responsive when the search finds a large number of results
    (Worker was busy fetching the results)
    (Reported by Sascha Hunold)
  - when saving the configuration, the old file will be renamed to wconfig.bck

2006-11-12: Version 2.14.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  - window titles are now correctly set to UTF8 strings if UTF8 is active
    (Reported by Carsten Hackbusch)

 other changes:
  - added Dutch translation
    (Thanks to Arnold A.Perne)
  - improved directory reload; if the previously active entry is not available
    anymore, the entry at the previous row will be activated

    (Reported by Sascha Hunold)
  - if a "ScriptOp" operation cannot continue because an external commands
    outputs errors on stderr, the messages will be shown in the corresponding
    dialog

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added search command
  - the internal text viewer is now able to show line numbers and jump to
    a line (shortcut "l" switches viewing of line numbers)

 fixes:
  - fixed bug in "set filter" command, the option "exclude" was not correctly
    written to config file
  - the avfs LDFLAGS has not been set correctly so Worker couldn't be compiled
    in some circumstances
    (Reported by Piotr Wawrzyniak)
  - fixed bug in Worker configuration in the section about the terminal
    program. Switching to a different panel didn't work as supposed.
    (Reported by Sascha Hunold)

 other changes:
  - pthread library is now required
  - gcc <3 support is officially removed
  - added Italian man page
    (Thanks to Giulio Canevari)

2006-07-21: Version 2.13.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 fixes:
  - fixed problem in font handling. Worker refused to start if the "fixed" font
    is not available. Some other fonts will be tried before giving up.
  - fixed bug in file type recognition. The flag "don't check virtual files for
    content" was ignored in some circumstances.

 other changes:
  - added French man page
    (Thanks to Kamardine Mohamed)

  - updated french catalog
    (Thanks again to rno)

2005-12-15: Version 2.11.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - The "search entry" command can now optionally search backwards
  - It is possible to jump to an entry in the list view by pressing the key
    matching the first character of the entry
    (This can be deactivated in the "normal mode" configuration)
  - the mouse actions in the list view can be configured (in the global
    configuration section)
    It is possible to swap any mouse button and select an alternative selection
    method which acts more like common desktop environments
  - mouse pointer changes when moving the mouse over the drag area in the
    list view headers

 fixes:
  - fixed segfault when the font name in the config file is invalid
    (Reported by Zhang Weiwu)
  - fixed segfault introduced in version 2.11.0 in the file requester, pressing
    enter was crashing worker
  - fixed small visual bug in the text area
 
 other changes:
  - added 7zip buttons to the default config and updated italian catalog
    (Thanks to Giulio Canevari)

2005-10-25: Version 2.11.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - Worker can now use any font not just fixed width fonts
  - it is now possible to change the width of the list view columns.
    Drag the end of the header box for a fixed width or double click it for
    dynamic width

 fixes:
  - fixed bug in internal view
    When started indirectly (for example when starting show action which
    contains the internal view command) worker did segfault.
  - fixed small display bug in state bar (KB suffix was inserted at wrong
    position sometimes)
  - Worker did show negative remaining time in file copy sometimes
  - Worker compiles again with IBM VisualAge compiler (xlC)
    (Thanks to Igor for report and proposed fixes)
  - Using information mode on ".." entry was forcing to many redraws

 other changes:
  - there is a new spanish translation thanks to Victor Alcazar
  - updated example configurations
  - updated license dialog
  - removed nanosleep declaration which was necessary for older Mac OS X
    releases but prevented compiling on later versions

2005-07-25: Version 2.10.2:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - improved "start prog" command
    It's now possible to handle the file as a different filetype or choose an
    avfs handler from a list of all possible avfs handlers.
  - double clicking on files with empty double click action list will start
    the improved "start prog" action
  - the seperator character in file sizes is now inserted every 3 digits no
    matter how large the number is (previously it was only inserted up to 3 times)
    (based on a patch from Tobias Toedter)

 fixes:
  - fixed bug in file copy: The return value of the final close() of the
    destination file wasn't checked which can lead to incomplete files in some
    circumstances (it occures on nfs devices where a write() to a full device
    is still successful but the final close() will fail)
    If you use avfs you also have to update to atleast avfs 0.9.6 as a similar
    bug was there too

 other changes:
  - the xliwrapper program for calling xli from the "image view mode" is now
    a shell script
    (Thanks to Tobias Toedter)

2005-06-23: Version 2.10.1:

2005-04-06: Version 2.10.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added virtual file system using AVFS (avf.sf.net)
    Finally it is possible to access archives or files on remote computers.
    There is some basic introduction in the docs but for more information about
    the usage you should read the docs of AVFS
    But the default configuration already contains all filetype definitions
    needed to access archives. These definitions can also be downloaded from
    the add-on page for import.
  - virtual files can be excluded from file content test which is set by
    default (in the "dirs not to check" configuration for filetypes)
  - there is a new option for the "own command" and "start prog" operation
    which prevents Worker from entering the current directory
  - there is a new flag {t} for a temporary copy of the entry ({f}) to be able
    to use external programs with virtual files
  - there is a new operation "ftp connection" to access remote ftp sites
    It is possible to store the password in the configuration but not encrypted!
  - For the "Script" operation and for the extended test for filetypes there is
    a new function isLocal which can be used to test if the entry is a local or
    virtual file

 fixes:
  - compilation fix for upcoming gcc4 and a warning on 64bit system
    (Thanks to Andreas Jochens for the patch)
  - fixed update of free disk space information (update took too long and for
    symlinks to other partitions it showed the wrong information)
  - environment variables can now really be used for start directory and path
    entry
    (reported by Sascha Hunold)
  - fixed visual glitches in the path input line. Worker also restores the
    content if new path cannot be opened

 other changes:
  - temporary files will now be stored in an own directory worker-$USER in the
    tmp dir ($TMPDIR is now also honored)
  - Worker shows a dialog if entering a directory is not possible
  - updated man page
  - there is a new script "xeditor" which searches for existing editors. This
    script is used by the default and the editor used can be overridden by the
    env var WORKER_XEDITOR

2004-12-20: Version 2.9.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added filetype hierarchie
    each filetype can contain subtypes
      subtypes will be checked if the filetype tests of the parent type matches
      the current file or the parent type does not use any tests
    the action of the parent type is used if the action list of the type is
      empty or the "parent action" command is used
      The "no operation" command can be used to not execute the commands of the
      parent type
  - there is now a filetype color configuration
    it's possible to select custom colors, use the colors of the parent type
    or even use the output of an external program to select the colors
  - it's now possible to cut and paste filetypes in the configuration

 fixes:
  - fixed bug where under certain circumstances Worker accessed freed pointers
    when executing actions
    This bug could appear if actions are used after using "enter dir" or
    "reload" command
  - a file will only be shown as executable if the user really has the
    permission to execute it
  - fixed compilation when pthreads is not used
  - extented filetype test honours the "dirs no to check"
  - fixed problem when sometimes filetype gets checked twice

 other changes:
  - improved check for identical source and destination file for file copy
  - the own command is now always the first entry in the command selection
    window
  - in the filecontent configuration for filetypes, the automatic creation
    now accepts any number of files
  - doubleclick on directories now honours the doubleclick action of the
    directory type (enter directory is the fallback action if the
    doubleclick action list is empty)
    (reported by Raik Lieske)
  - cursor keys can be used in requesters to change the focus element and
    the enter key can now also be used for any button and not just the first
    (reported by Loki and others)
  - copying of a corrupt symlink (link destination does not exists) in "follow
    symlinks" mode now copy the symlink itself instead of showing a error-
    requester
  - The email address "ralf.hoffmann@epost.de" will expire soon, new address
    is "ralf@boomerangsworld.de"

2004-07-28: Version 2.8.5:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added more flexible filetype description using conditional expressions
    it's similar to the if-expression in the script command
    possible functions are:
      - toNum(...): change string to number
        toStr(...): change number to string
        isReg(): test for regular file
        isSock(): test for socket
        isFIFO(): test for FIFO (pipe)
        isSymlink(): test for symlink
        size(): size of file
        perm(mask): numerical permission
        toLower()/toUpper(): change string to lower/upper
        contentStr(x,y): y Bytes from file content starting at position x 
        contentNum(x,y): like contentStr but interpreted as a number
        name()/fullname(): file name/full file name
      - the flags {f} and {F} can be also used for the filename inside strings
        this allows for the use of any external program to determine the
        filetype (e.g. using the file command)
      - there are the usual operators as "<", ">=" and so on and it is possible
        to use regular expressions using ~=
    - there is also an more or less extensive help
    - some examples:
      - Test for shell scripts:
        ( contentStr( 0, 2 ) == "#!" ) && ( contentStr( 2, 10 ) ~= "/bin/[a-zA-Z]*sh.*" )
      - Test for OctaMED music files:
        ( toUpper( contentStr( 0, 3 ) ) == "MED" ) || ( toUpper( contentStr( 0, 4 ) ) ~= "MMD[0-9]" )
      - Use "file" for type recognition:
        ( ${file -b {F}} ~= "ASCII C program text" )
  - there is an extensive help for the pattern configuration

 fixes:
  - fixed copy of non-regular files if "follow symlinks" is used
    copying symlinks pointing to non-regular files (devices, pipes, ...) did not
    create these special files but only regular files
  - fixed text for move operation in the progress window, now it prints "Move"
    instead of "Copy"
  - compile fix for gcc 3.4
    (reported by Goetz Waschk)
  - compile fix for QNX
    (reported by Toni Ruza)

 other changes:
  - updated italian catalog
    (Thanks again to Giulio Canevari)

2004-03-17: Version 2.8.4:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - the layout of the main window is configurable (in global settings)
    Select the button and listview orientation and the positions of the elements
  - filetypes: added flag to match the full name (including the path) for
    pattern matching
  - copy/delete/rename/symlink: highlights entry currently processed
  - configuration: the button banks can be swapped
    (suggested by Harlock and Jan Windischmann)
 
 fixes:
  - fixed possible lockup when using threads
    (reported by Harlock and others)
 
 other changes:
  - GUI improvements
  - copy: updates "bytes to copy" when skipping files
  - copy: Worker updates the copy window before an error requester
  - filetypes: empty file content descriptions are now ignored
    (reported by Ulf Hartwig)
  - filetypes: fixed file content configuration to not select several entries
    at once
  - added some example scripts and corresponding buttons to convert
    cd tracks to several formats
    (Giulio Canevari)

2003-12-18: Version 2.8.3:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 fixes:
  - fixed a little bug which partialy prevents the configuration of
    the filetypes

  other changes:
   - window creation will wait till window mapping

2003-11-26: Version 2.8.2:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - the listview header colors are now configurable
    (reported by Piotr Rzepka)
  - search entry now allows case insensitive search (activate it in the command
    configuration)

 fixes:
  - fixed possible endless loop in directory read
    (reported by Florian Zwoch)
  - fixed information mode to keep currently visible information when other side
    is deactivated and no longer try to update information for a corrupt symlink
    (reported by Giulio Canevari)
  - improved configure checks for statvfs/statfs for improved compatibility
    Worker can now be compiled on OpenBSD
    (Thanks to Ingolf Schuchardt for support and access to an OpenBSD box)
  - some other code changes to allow compilation on Solaris2.7
    (Thanks to Jean-Francois Magni for testing)
  - the status bar is now correctly updated even when the listview doesn't
    list any directory

 other changes:
  - gui code cleanup
  - left align listview header text when it doesn't fit into the header
    (reported by Giulio Canevari)
  - print installation directory at the end of the configure script
  - Worker will now also compile on AIX with the gcc compiler

2003-08-17: Version 2.8.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
 - external programs which run in the foreground (i.e., Worker waits for
   completion) can now be detached with Escape or the middle mouse button
 - added some new columns: Inode number, number of hard links, number of
   blocks
   the information mode will also show this values
 - for devices the size of the entry is now the major/minor number
 - added headerline for the listview 
   you will see the field name and you can click on it to change the sortmode
 - there is an additional symbol in the listview bar (above the listview)
   which is visible when Worker is still recognizing filetypes

 fixes:
 - fixed buffer overflow in informationmode
   (reported by Cyriac Benoit)

 other changes:
 - chmod/chown: chmod will no longer read all affected directories at the
   beginning but change permissions on the fly. This way you are able to
   change the permissions for directories you are currently not able to read.
   the same goes for chown although you won't notice any different because
   chown is only allowed for root (on most systems) and root can always read
   the dirs
 - used thousand separator from current locale
   (Thanks for the patch to Tobias Toedter)
 - added some more tests for large files in the configure-script. This should
   fix compile problems with RedHat 7
 - modified default configs so TGZ/TBZ2 actions should work on any system no
   matter if tar doesn't understands the special options
   updated addons are also available
 - Worker will compile on AIX (only with xlc compiler)
 - updated italian catalog
   (Thanks to Giulio Canevari)

2003-06-08: Version 2.8.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
 - the configuration file format is now text based
   Worker will continue to load old binary files and old binary export files.
   You can now also import whole configurations
   Although you can now edit the config don't expect any documentation about
   the keywords and file structure and whatever
 - added new flag for "own command": {scripts} which will be replaced by the
   path to the scripts dir inside worker's share directory
   This can be used for easy access to additional scripts
 - there is a new bash script "pattern rename"
   For a given match pattern you can replace/add text at the beginning/mid/end
   of all matched filenames
   There is a button in the default config and you can also download this button
   from my homepage (->AddOns)
   (Thanks to aaron who wrote this script and the button)

 other changes:
  - worker will compile with Sun C++ compiler
  - renaming (in rename and copy) to empty name is now catched
  - when starting DoubleClick/Show/RawShow/User-action the selected entries
    will no longer be deselected at the beginning but only depending on the
    used flags in the actions
  - cancelling copy will open requester for confirmation
  - in the "disc is full"-requester the affected file will be shown
  - added italian catalog
    (Thanks to Amedeo Brunetti and Giulio Canevari)
  - updated russian catalog
    (Thanks again to Ilya V. Yalovoy)
  - fixed RAR buttons/filetype in the default configs
  - fixed button titles in import window

2003-04-27: Version 2.7.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 new features:
  - added support for large files (>= 2GB)
  - improved error requesters for un-stat-able directory entries
    you can abort the directory reading and directories containing such
    directories with these entries remain selected when copying/deleting them
  - support env variables in path buttons
    (suggested by Thomas Helbig)
  - worker compiles with Cygwin
    (Thanks to Stephan Henningsen)
  - chmod: the keypad can be used to select permissions also with NumLock=off
  - create symlink: function can now create absolute and relative symlinks
    option "local symlink" renamed to "relative symlink"
    example: link /usr/bin/gs to /usr/local/bin/gs will be "../../bin/gs"
  - show image mode:
    - Worker can use ImageMagick's display for embedded display
      (select it from the "show image mode"-configuration
       [Right click at list view bar->show image mode->set to default viewer])
      ImageMagick knows more file formats but is also slower
    - moved wrappers for xli/display to share/worker/scripts
  - configuration: ask when canceling a changed configuration
 
 security fixes:
  - copy: destination directories were created with 755 permissions and got
    correct permissions only at the end of directory copy
    now the destination directories will be created with 700 permissions
    (and of course get correct permission at the end)

 fixes:
  - fixed if-parser in the script command
    it was possible to use "=" instead of "==" which led to wrong results
  - copy: fixed restoring of old owner and permission
    copy will restore SUID/SGID bit only when root or owner of file
    (reported by Simonics Zsolt)
  - fixed resizing of some windows, some windowmanagers (like kwm) doesn't
    accept my way
  - fixed some problems with the script-command examples, the extension wasn't
    recognized correctly
    You can download the new example from my homepage, but they are of course
    included in the default configs
    (reported by aaron)
  - Worker will no longer try to enter a directory which is not executable for
    the user
  - fixed segfault when resizing some windows in the configuration
 
 other changes:
  - russian catalog (Thanks to Ilya V. Yalovoy)
  - worker searchs for the datadir (for catalogs, default configs...) now in
    the following places:
    1.compiled PREFIX/share/worker
    2.<exe-location>/../share/worker
    3./usr/share/worker
    4./usr/local/share/worker
    5.$HOME/share/worker
    This way moving around an already compiled version is much easier

2002-10-26: Version 2.7.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - fixed a major security problem with filenames with special characters
   Since commands will be executed in a shell-script, characters in filenames
   with special meaning for the shell will disturb the correct execution.
   For example: Viewing a file "something`rm some_other_file`" would remove
                the "some_other_file"!!!!!
   All executed commands will be now protected in single quotes.
   As a side effect most of the shell features are no longer possible. The
   following list contains all allowed strings which have to appear as a single
   word:
   |		- pipe
   ;		- command separation
   &		- execute in background
   ||		- or
   &&		- and
   >, <, >&2,
   1>, 1>&2, 2>,
   2>&1, >>,
   1>>, 2>>	- redirections
   Because of the changes "With quotes" in the "own command" is removed because
   filenames are now always quoted. For example "xv {f}" will work for any
   filename.
   all flag-replacements in "own command" are always protected with quotes
   but you can disable this with "-" before the flag
   e.g.: make -f {f} {-Rs{Make target:}{}}
   But there is normally no need to change the commands because most will
   work just as before and e.g.
     xv "{f}"
   is still okay.
   Some of my examples for the "script" command need changes so I update the
   example configs and the AddOns on the homepage
 - this "special character" problem also affects the copy of special files
   (symlinks, pipes,...)
   worker copies these special files now with intern functions
   No extern command for these files anymore so removed the options in "copy"
   command configuration
 
 An update is highly recommended!!
 
 - copy: When a read error appears while copying a file this error was not
   noticed (no requester and this file was marked as correctly copied), fixed
   Also improved error requesters for other errors
 - copy: when resizing the copy-window, the filenames are redrawn (in the case
   they were too long)
 - copy: When canceling "move", you will be asked whether to delete the already
   correctly copied files from the source
 - because env-variables are no longer available with shell-features
   (e.g. $HOME) there is now a new flag for "own command" (and "script command")
   {vEnvName}, e.g. you get your home dir with {vHOME}
 - the default- and infotext for the Rs-Flag is now no longer length-limited
 - start prog: the string has the same limitations as "own command" so
   the default value (the active entry) is now already protected
 - added toNum and toStr to the if-parser in the "script" command
 - the informationmode now shows also the file permission as octal number
 - the permission string in the ListView now has 10 chars like ls or mc
   before the filename there is now also a special character for special files
   (pipes, devices...)
 - filterselect: window is now resizeable
 - new command: show directory cache
   it will open a window with all parent directory names for the current dir
   and all names from the directory cache. You can choose a dir or enter a
   new name
   doubleclick in the listview-bar (above the ListView) will also open this
   window
 - show image mode: the program string is now only the program name, no %s...
   anymore
 - fixed loading of Worker1 configs (shortkeys were lost)
   also fixed builtin config (when no config file is available)
 - updated for autoconf 2.54/automake 1.7
 - added parent dir buttons (..) to the path line for each side
   (suggested by Amedeo Brunetti)
 - added support non-latin character input like cyrillic chars and also
   support dead keys
   (Thanks to Ilya V. Yalovoy for hints and testing)
 - improved support for corrupt directories (without .. entry)

2002-08-26: Version 2.6.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - fixed compile-bug for gcc >= 3.1
   (Thanks to Goetz Waschk for the patch)
 - the filetypes in the configuration are sorted now
   (suggested by Martin Kaehmer)
 - the mousewheel can be used to switch buttonbank when using it at the
   clockbar
 - improved diskspace updating, also fixed overflow for percent calculation
   in information mode
 - added 48x48, 32x32 and 16x16 icons

2002-08-18: Version 2.6.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - return in requesters is now only allowed when okay button holds focus
   use space for any other button
 - fixed filetype-recognition order. Now it really first checks the content
   for all types and in a second run the pattern
 - filetype-recognition: scans the visible entries first
 - filetype-recognition: added "ignore case" flag and support for regular
   expressions
 - filetype-recognition: added support for bzip2 and xpkmaster
   Worker supports now:
    - gzip
    - bzip2
    - xpkmaster (currently the most important is sqsh)
 - configuration: when creating a filetype using "automatic creation", Worker
   will now also uncompress the files just like the recognition will do so you
   can select 3 files of the type no matter how they are compressed
 - configuration: copying a button/hotkey/path don't duplicate the shortkeys
 - configuration: when adding commands, the last used command is highlighted
 - configuration: when adding commands, the configuration is called if available
   doubleclicking a command from the list will now also open the configuration
 - fixed bug in infomode when displaying a symlink with no destination
 - own command: you can now select the program with a filerequester
 - new command "Script"
   It's now possible to create programs for the buttons/hotkeys/filetypes
   You can store data on stacks (as many as you want) and jump at condition to
   labels.
   Here's a list of what's possible with this new command:
    - push
      push a string (which can contains flags) or the output of this string
      on a stack of your choice
    - label
      just a label for if/goto
    - if
      test the condition and jump to label when true ( != 0 )
      you can use parentheses, && and || if needed.
      <, <=, ==, >=, >, != works as usual.
      "" marks a string which can contains the usual flags
      ${} will be replaced with the output the command in braces
      ?{} same with the returncode of the command
      true is always true
      false is always false
      isEmpty(nr) is true when stack <nr> is empty
      size(nr) is the size of stack <nr>
      filelistEmpty(0 or 1) is true when filelist is empty (no more {f})
        0 means the current panel, 1 the other
    - end
      immediatly stops the command-list execution
    - settings
      set "recursive" when you want collect the files recursive
      set "with quotes" when you want filenames in quotes
      set "also use dirs for flag-replacing" when you also want to use the
        directories themselve (when collecting recursive)
    - goto
      jump to given label
   For the own command (and also push/if) there are some new flags:
    - {top stack-number}
      gets the top element of the given stack
    - {pop stack-number}
      gets and remove the top element of the given stack
    - {size stack-number}
      gets the size of the stack
   You can run if and push in debug-mode so it's easier to check what's going on
   Finally you can also use a window to display some information to the user
    - there is a progressbar and a multi-line textarea
      both are controlled by strings which can contain the usual flags and also
      the output of the string can be used
      For a newline in the textarea use a '|' in the string.
      The progressbar-string will be converted to a number and has to be between
      0 and 100
   If you run into an endless loop you can send a USR1-signal to stop execution
   The execution will be stopped whenever you use the output/returncode of a
     command and this command writes something to stderr
   All in all I think this is a feature for the advanced user but it's not so
   difficult as it sounds. I added some buttons to the default config with some
   examples which can you also download from the new section "AddOns" from my
   homepage:
   The easiest example: Ask the bitrate and convert all selected files to mp3
   Other example: number all selected files through
 - show output didn't work for startprog, fixed
 - listview-scrollers have now a minimum width/height
 - go to dir: specialdir supports the usual flags from "own command"
 - copy: for the current file the rate over the last second is now displayed
   instead of the average rate (as shown before) which is now displayed in the
   next line
 - copy: show complete path when requesting new name because there is already
   an existing entry
 - copy: when requesting destination the default is now the directory from
   the other panel (suggested by Ernest Beinrohr)
 - the copy-window shows the progress in the title
   (suggested by Ernest Beinrohr)
 - when copy of non-regular file failed (with cp), the error-requester shows
   now also the error output of this command.
   There is now also a "Cancel" button
 - DND: Worker now deselect the dropped entry
   (reported by Gary Watson)
 - the compression-handler is displayed in the informationmode
 - rename: cancel now really aborts in any case
 - rename: the name in the StringGadget is now highlighted
 - rename: show active entry after rename
 - rename: redraw whole listview for each entry (just looks better because
   the columns are correct)
 - changed behaviour of Show/RawShow/User/DoubleClick/DND-Actions so they will
   only run for involved entries
   this means for example when doubleclicking a picture and you have the
   ShowAction in the DoubleClick-Action command list, the ShowAction will only
   run for the doubleclicked entry and not for all selected like before
 - the width/height of mainwindow is now stored for each screen independent
 - added GPL to the about requester
 - for flag-replacing in own command and the new script command:
   When collecting files recursive, you got an empty string for the directory
   names. Now you will only get the filenames by default, but there is a new
   switch "Also use dirs for flag-replacing" so you can also use the directory
   names
 - Worker checks for updated config file once per minute and ask you for reload

2002-05-26: Version 2.5.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - added native chown
 - added focus handling for the gui
   use tab/shift-tab to switch to next/prev element
   use space to activate an element
   return is handled like clicking at okay (only when focus is not on any
   button of the bottom line (except okay of course))
 - you can now use as many shortkeys as you want for one button/hotkey/path
 - double shortkeys are also possible now (like Ctrl-x c)
 - filterselect, filterunselect and setfilter now have a history for used
   patterns
 - for chmod/chown "Request these flags" is now on as default
 - when running worker as root, the statebar turns red and the window title is
   "rootWorker"
 - faster startup (especially for big window)
 - worker now stores the position of the listview correctly when switching to
   other displaymode (informationmode, show image mode)
 - improved speed for filetype recognition (especially for big directories)
 - when deleting/moving files in some cases the progress-window wasn't updated
   correctly
 - fixed drawing/refresh problems for delete
 - fixed crash when mainwindow is too small (reported by Josef Oswald)
 - fixed bug in statebar calculation

2002-04-06: Version 2.4.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - filetype-recognition is now done by threads
   this result in faster recognition at fast devices and no more waiting
   for slow devices (like floppydiscs)
   Thread-support can be disabled
 - partition-size-reading is now also done by a thread
 - own command got a new option "Run in background"
   Background commands will be disconnected from the Worker-process and won't
   be killed when worker quits
 - date/time format is now configurable (in "Global configuration") and there
   is also name-substitution for today, yesterday,...
 - added sortmodes for type and owner
 - configuration import/export added (buttons/filetypes/hotkeys)
 - changed behaviour and requester when disc is full while copying
   You can now choose to keep the incomplete file or delete it but in any
   case the sourcefile isn't deleted (which was done when "Okay" was chosen
   in the requester)
   reported by Rick Younie
 - reload got a new option "Keep filetypes"
 - dirsize will rebuild listview for each calculated element
   reported by Dirk Weber
 - show/rawshow/user/...-actions are now also applicable to the active entry
 - Buttons are now only clickable if they have assigned commands
 - the filetype-, hotkey- and flag-request-window (for own command) are now
   resizeable
 - no quit-requester when closing main-window
 - chmod-requester improved
 - polish catalog (Thanks to Pawel Kaczor)

2002-01-09: Version 2.3.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - improved top statebar (Thanks to Martin Khmer)
 - when changing sortmode, active entry is centered
 - new command "activate shortkey from list"
   You can choose shortkey from a list and activate it
   useful for forgotten shortkeys or as an overview of all defined shortkeys
 - fixed calculation of "bytes to copy"
 - copy/delete-windows are now resizeable
   also filename/dirname will be shorten to fit in the window
 - compiles (and runs :-) ) on Mac OS X (Darwin)
   (Thanks to Malcolm Cleland)

2001-11-05: Version 2.3.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - some changes for gcc 3.0 but I have no chance to test it, reports are
   welcome
 - new option for delete-function to remove the active entry when no other are
   selected
 - new option for reload-function to reset the previous calculated dir sizes
 - added option to show "<DIR>" instead of the size for directories (of course
   only if the dirsize is unknown)
   you will find this option in the "global configuration"-section
 - when entering a shortkey in the configuration you can now remove an other
   reference to this key
 - the command-list in the configuration is now sorted ignoring case
 - some GUI improvements
   - nicer (atleast I think so) turned-down corner in buttons with two functions
   - buttons with no assigned function cannot be clicked
   - now left- or rightclick at the clockbar will show the next buttonbank
   - middleclick in the listview will just activate the entry without changing
     the selection state
 - fixed problem with dynamic coloumnwidth when filters are active and
   excluding some files
 - fixed problem when changing filters or showHidden-mode, which could stopped
   the filerecognition
 - dirs containing files which can't be stat-ed will now also be displayed
   (without these files but there will be a requester for each file)
 - finally: added a fontrequester so it's easy to select a different font

2001-07-08: Version 2.2.2:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - configurable listview-background
 - wait-cursor while reading dir and executing external progs
 - improved cut&paste (works with more apps)
 - improved mainwindow-title (path of the active listview is shown)
 - some catalog-changes and updated french catalog
 - fixed filename-search when hiding hidden files
 - improved dir-cache-replacement-strategy
   not recently used are droped when cache is full
 - filters are now not applied for dirs
 - added "unset all filters" in filterconfiguration
 - icon will be installed in $prefix/share/pixmaps

2001-05-08: Version 2.2.1:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - bug fix in delete window
 - minor bug fix for reloading a dir, sometimes the active entry was deactivated
 - new option for the copy-operation: preserve attributes
   when set, the permissions/owner/modificationtime/accesstime will be restored
   (as far as possible)
   default is on
 - a corrupt symlink will now be treated as file
 - the colors for the active entry can now be changed
 - improved search-operation:
   - a recall will search the next entry with the same prefix
   - stars (*) are also supported now so it's possibly to search for file
     containing the pattern inside the filename
     a trailing star is always implied

2001-03-20: Version 2.2.0:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 - sortmode change with the action will update the lvb
 - fixed problem with giving a startdir relative to the current dir
   (Martin Kaehmer)
 - worker_inst exists no longer, Worker will do it instead
 - it's now configurable what to show in the clockbar
   the configuration can be reached by a new subsection in the config-win
   it can show the time/ram, only the time, the worker version (for no system
   load) and the output of any external program
 - the correct background color is taken for the "show image mode"
   (rno)
 - in the button/path-configurations the actionmodes (copy/swap/delete)
   can stay active until other choose when selecting "extended" in the same
   window in the new cyclebutton
   this is useful for copying/swapping/deleting more than one button/path
 - dirs can now ignored for filetype-checking (exactly: in this dirs only
   the pattern is used (if used))
   the new configuration can be found in the filetype-settings
   this is useful for slow devices like a floppydisc
 - updated french catalog

   (Martin Kaehmer)
 - the sortmode is shown in the bar above the lister
   N = namesort
   S = sizesort
   M = modificationtime-sort
   A = accesstime-sort
   C = changetime-sort
   R = reverse
   (Martin Kaehmer)
 - the ".."-entry is now always active for loaded dirs which are not in the cache
   (Martin Kaehmer)

   (Thanks to Martin Kaehmer)
 - fixed bug in externop in flag parsing
   (Thanks to Rick Younie, Harlock)
 - support for filesizes/dirsizes >4GByte (if your system supports 64 bit type)
   (Thanks to Martin Kaehmer,Harlock)
 - no longer displays readable but not executable dirs (r--)
   side effect: dirsize will not show weird values
 - for own commands and string requests, Cancel will really cancel
   the operation
   (Thanks to Rick Younie)
 - in the configuration, the "Choose Command"-requester is now sorted and
   also resizeable
   (Thanks to Rick Younie)
 - the partitionsize/freespace of the actual dir can be shown in the
   listviewbar
   (Thanks to Rick Younie,Martin Kaehmer)
 - the display of owner/group is switchable ("user @ group" or "user.group")
   (Thanks to Rick Younie)
 - the ".."-entry is no longer selectable nor it will be counted
   (Thanks to Martin Kaehmer)
 - rewrote xliwrapper_worker and worker.inst (now worker_inst) in C
 - fixed foreground of empty buttons in the example-configurations
   (Thanks to Rick Younie)
 - finally DND is usable
   To activate: Select the entry and hold the left mousebutton, then click
                  the right.
		Now move to destination and release the left button.
		You can cancel DND with Escape or a rightclick when dragging!
		If there is no DND-action defined for the type of the
		  dragged entry, the DND-action from the "NoSelect"-type
		  is used!
   Limitations:
     You can only drag one entry
     This works only inside Worker
