Version 5.3.0
 License:   OpenTracker
 Updated:   August 1, 2006
 Source:   Source Available
After the relatively long hiatus, a new version has finally been completed:
  • The Deskbar's time view now shows a nice calendar when you click over it and hold the mouse button.
  • Tray icons will now be layouted better when new ones appear, or disappear.
  • Switcher can now quit applications when you press the 'q' key in the Switcher window.
  • Tracker add-ons are now only shown if they support the file type directly, or at least in a generic way - they are now ordered by their level of support, too.
  • Support for undo/redo of Tracker operations (but no undelete, of course)
  • The parent menu list in the lower left of a Tracker window is now fully navigable, making it much more usable.
  • Numerous subtle usability improvements in the file panel.
  • There is now an icon in the upper right corner representing the current directory - you can use this to drag around instead of having to open its parent for this.
  • Folder attributes can now be put onto the clipboard, and pasted from there, too.
  • A possible work-around for the freezing bug on some R5 systems has been found - please give feedback if it works for you.
  • Improved drag&drop behaviour in Tracker.
  • Network shares now get a proper icon in Tracker that differentiates them from mounted images.
  • Attribute queries now automatically get more useful names for later reuse.
  • Many font sensitivity issues, bug fixes and other enhancements, see the change log for a detailed list of changes
Note, you should be cautious when installing OpenTracker on Zeta - you should not install it in its usual location, because replacing Zeta's libtracker.so will cause some functionality to be removed from Zeta.

Version 5.2.1
 License:   OpenTracker
 Updated:   August 18, 2003
 Source:   Source Available
  • Cut/Copy & Paste support in Tracker
  • Deskbar can show the application's windows in the application menu directly
  • Improved Deskbar recent item lists
  • Nicer look when selecting and dragging items
  • Network shares are now identified by a special icon
  • Many many bug fixes and other enhancements
This release fixes the broken "Disks" icon that version 5.2.0 introduced!

For a detailed list of changes, have a look at the changes log for this release.

Note for R5 users: if BeOS hangs after a reboot (empty screen), you should return to the old Tracker by booting in safe-mode (press space during boot to access the boot menu), or try out to disable calls to the BIOS. You can do this in the BeOS boot menu, but also change it permanently in the kernel settings (have a look at this tip at BeTips.net)
In any way, this should happen only on very few systems - if you could use version 5.1.5 without any problems, you can install this one as well without worrying.

Version 5.2b289
 License:   OpenTracker
 Updated:   August 22, 2001
 Source:   Source Available
Restored PPC compatibility by eliminated use of std namespace with mwcc.

Integrations from Be. The only functional change should be: Change 58004 on 2001/07/06 by hippo@widsith When the tracker DirMenu was changed to allow building either by placing each item in order or by always placing a new item at the top, no one adjusted the function for adding the Disks Icon to the menu. This adds the appropriate functionality.

This will break PPC compatibility because we are now correctly referring to things in the "std" namespace.

Changes to Tracker:
Fixes to the Info Window's TrackingView, so that its click behaviour is identical to the info window itself, it behaves better as a popup window, and make clicking on relative links correctly resolve the target file. Also some small #ifdefs to keep things building.

Changes to Deskbar:
Fixed the Hidden-Be-Menu-When-Dragging bug by adding a Window()-Show() to match the Hide() in AttachedToWindow

Add the option "Sort Running Applications" to Deskbar's settings. When enabled, Deskbar's list of running applications is sorted alphabetically. When disabled, the list returns to chronological order.

Add the setting "Tracker Always First." When enabled, this setting ensures that Tracker's entry is always first in the list of running applications. When disabled, Tracker will be positioned according to the sort setting.

Fixes to the Info Window's TrackingView, so that its click behaviour is identical to the info window itself, it behaves better as a popup window, and make clicking on relative links correctly resolve the target file. Also some small #ifdefs to keep things building.

Changes to Tracker:
A few cleanup tweaks and refactorings.

Previously, the menu option to quit a windowless application would show up for all applications in the Deskbar. However, Tracker will not let itself be "quit." This patch fixes this feature so that it does not display the "Quit Application" option for Tracker. When there are no Tracker windows, It simply shows the (disabled) option "No Windows," and nothing else.

Switched context menus to use asynch mode.

Changed the attribute menu in Trash windows, so that "Original Name" now appears instead of "Path" in the trash Modified the offset of the two suboptions in the settings window Fixed the wording in okToMoveStr.

Added cast to avoid mwcc signed/unsigned warning.

Made the maximum nav menu size adapt to use 1/4 of the current screen size.

Small code cleanup.

Speed up file copying by using larger copy buffers.

A fix for the navigator/titleview/IconMode/ListViewMode problem.

Added a '.' separator to the date formats.

Integrate changes from Be.

Changes to Deskbar:
Previously, the menu option to quit a windowless application would show up for all applications in the Deskbar. However, Tracker will not let itself be "quit." This patch fixes this feature so that it does not display the "Quit Application" option for Tracker. When there are no Tracker windows, It simply shows the (disabled) option "No Windows," and nothing else.

Removed the ellipsis from the "hidden" Window Decor sub-menu name and moved this sub-menu so that it will appear last (just after the Desktop Settings sub-menu). Some additional code cleanup was also done.

Add a way to quit windowless applications from the deskbar.

Merge the settings branch into the main tree. This means single window browsing is finally here! In Tracker select Window->Settings... to check it out.

Small cleanup of the AddPoses check for valid threads.

This patch fixes the bug relating to all volumes desktop integration spotted by Wesley Dungan.

A patch to fix the problem where Get Info does not correctly report the size of the Trash on systems with multiple volumes (only /boot was originally counted).

If the MIME type of a file changes, the attributes menu of a window gets rebuilt. BPoseView::AttributeChanged() checks now if the changed attribute is "BEOS:TYPE" (kAttrMIMEType) and if this is the case, it calls BPoseView::RefreshMimeTypeList().

Fixed typo in an error string in OpenWithWindow.cpp.

Volumes are now separated from folders with the SortFolderNamesFirst option. The different CompareFolderNamesFirst functions are now using the same (new) Model::CompareFolderNamesFirst() function for sorting.

A fix for a bug when using ShowSelectionWhenInactive in Focus Follows Mouse mode. Previously, when you selected poses outside of the window, BPose thought its window was inactive, and would draw itself grayed out, when it should really be drawn black, as it's being selected.

In the method TSwitchMgr::CountWindows(), the loop variable "i", used to loop over items in a team-group's team-list, was accidently being incremented twice each pass through the loop. This caused windows to be missed by the Switcher.

This patch fixes the "phantom row" problem that was sometimes occuring with certain time and replicant combinations.

Check resultingPoses for NULL to prevent crash in OpenWithPoseView::CreatePoses.

A patch to fixe the "phantom row" problem that was sometimes occuring with certain time and replicant combinations.

Change resource files to use QuickRes's new flat text format. Binaries for the beres command line tool are now included in the tree, to compile these files; to edit them, you will need to get new version of QuickRes that was just posted.

The resource flat text format has its own specific way to define symbols for resource IDs, which is different than the OpenTracker method. I have changed Deskbar over to using this, but Tracker itself still uses the old symbols with an enumeration mapping them to the new.

Allow calling PoseView::CreatePoses with a NULL resultingPose array to simplify things.

Version 5.1b19
 License:   OpenTracker
 Updated:   January 22, 2001

Corrected an error where selecting the widest item in a list after middle click resizing would leave a small line artifact on the right edge of the item after deselecting again.

Removed unecessary/unused code including BContextMenu and ContainerWindow::SetMenuBar.

The favorites menu will now show the names of the links in the ~/config/settings/Tracker/Go dir instead of the name of their targets. Now you can have links to the same named dirs on several disks and you can give fancy names to each link. (hint: try a "ln -s / ~/config/settings/Tracker/Go/Disks")

Errors as well as warnings have been eliminated.

Fixed a bug that sometimes occured when using middle-click resize on the Size column.

When folders are created it defaults to editing the name(just like when New Folder is selected) instead of opening the folder.

Updated the middle click/double click column resize function to correctly work with all supported types of attributes.

Put the private system functions in the public header, so they can be right up with our big warning message.

This patch corrects a problem where Deskbar in vertical/compact mode would sometimes add a replicant in such a way that it was covering the clock.

Fixed a ShowFullPathInTitleBar bug where when you renamed a folder who's window was open the window title changed to the new folder name without the path.

A patch to make a minor adjustment to PoseView's drag scrolling logic when in List View such that the upper dragging point's bound begins at the bottom of the TitleView, not the top.

A fix for Tracker to remember whether or not a currently open Tracker window is minimized at quit and restore it to the same state on reload.

A patch to alter IconMenuItem such that it derives from PositionPassingMenuItem ; anything added to the TemplatesMenu should now automatically return the information Tracker needs to correctly position new items, as was the behavior prior to the Templates patch.

Plus highlight for the Deskbar's drag area, fixes on some coding style issues, and patches for mwcc warnings caused by implicit casting. I also matched up the version numbers in Tracker and Deskbar so that they can be properly associated with this distribution.

Enhanced the alert which appears if one tries to replace a file with another. It now shows the file size and date of both the source and the destination file.

Fix some of the font sensitivity issues of the info window.

Now you can either double click or click with the third mouse button the column resizer in list mode to resize that column to the width of the widest element.

NavMenu sorting has been fixed along with some background tweaks and enhancements to the code.

Fixes a problem where adding an attribute via the right-click menu in TitleView would add the correct attribute column, but without a name, which would subsequently crash the Tracker window on close/reopen.

Fixed a menu-navigating bug that appeared on PPC.

Recent changes have been brought in line with OpenTracker style guidelines.

A retrofit to keep Tracker compiling in both the BeOS tree (using the current TWalker classes) and in OpenTracker (using its own TWalker implementation for backwards compatibility with R5).

Make Tracker properly deal with attributes that aren't NULL terminated.

Fixed problem where right-click navigation through the Trash only contained the items of the boot volume's Trash.

The "SortFolderNamesFirst" option now resolves links so that links to directories are regarded as directories. Furthermore the items in the navigation menu are sorted this way.

"New Folder" has been moved to the "New" sub-menu, the templates folder has been renamed to "Tracker New Templates", and a menu item has been added to open the folder.

Items in the "New" sub-menu display the filename of the template file instead of the MimeType of the document. Useful when a template can contain different forms of data, but are of the same type. Such as a Gobe Productive document.

Reduced flicker when dragging items over Deskbar. Window-menus are no longer show when dragging stuff over the Deskbar, because they did not have any function. Holding the ctrl-key while dragging stuff over Deskbar will force the message to be sent even if the app does not support the type of file being dragged (just like ctrl-dragging over an icon does). Right-ctrl-alt-shift dragging something over Deskbar does not kill applications.

Always on Top option added to Deskbar, the option is accessible via "Deskbar Settings", a new submenu of the Be menu. Also moved there are clock settings options. Option of switching the Deskbar short date display between MM/DD/YY and DD/MM/YY format.

A New... menu has been added to Tracker under which a submenu of user defined items appears. To add items to the New... menu place your template files in the /boot/home/config/settings/Tracker/Templates folder. For instance, create an empty People file and place it in the Templates folder. Then when you open a Tracker menu and navigate to the New... menu, you will see a Person submenu item. Upon selecting an item a new file will be created based on the associated Templates file.

Axel Doerfler has implemented a feature which will display all folders before files in Tracker List Views. Set SortFolderNamesFirst on in /boot/home/config/settings/Tracker/TrackerSettings to enable this feature.

At the request of some users I have compiled in support for owner and group file attributes. You can check these out in the Attributes menu of Tracker windows that are set to show the List View.

 Updated:   September 14, 2000

In Tracker, a leak, pointed out by Carlos Hasan, was fixed, and some sign conversion problems that were causing mwcc warnings were eliminated.

For Deskbar, a number of related problems were fixed. All deskbar replicants that are found through the be:deskbar_item_status attribute must now have a security code that matches that of the deskbar (which is randomly generated). This prevents replicants that had this attribute set on another system from automatically loading after a reboot or when a new volume is mounted, which is a potential security risk (and a great source of confusion if such a replicant crashes the system, witness numerous accounts on beusertalk).

Deskbar tried to do live queries for disks that were mounted when it started, but this mechanism was broken (the query was deleted right after performing the initial GetNextEntry-loop). Queries for volumes that were mounted later were never live. To make this more consistent all queries are now non-live. This also prevents those queries from keeping a volume busy and therefore impossible to unmount. When a volume was unmounted, deskbar checked for the device-id under the wrong name in the notification-message, causing UnloadAddOn() never to be called.

Note: the security-code fix will require that the user re-adds all deskbar replicants to the deskbar tray the first time after running the new deskbar. After that it's business as usual.

Further notes of interest: the security code is a 64 bit integer that is created by concatenating the lower 32 bits of real_time_clock_usecs() and system_time(). It is stored in ~/config/settings/Deskbar_security_code The security code is not meant to be a "very random" number, or to be used as a 100% unique system ID. It is merely used to make significantly lower the probability of automatically loading an add-on that had its be:deskbar_item_status attribute set on another system.

The Hide Replicants/Show Replicants Be menu item has been changed to a single Show Replicants item that is either checked or unchecked.

Recent folders has been added.

The List View mode problem where you find yourself with an empty window scrolled all the way to the bottom has been fixed. It will now be scrolled to show at least one file.

The default starting directory for adding items to the Deskbar via the Configure Be Menu has been changed to /boot/apps.

One special feature of this update that I did not include in the binary distribution is that Tracker now supports owner, group, and access mode permission attributes, you must define OWNER_GROUP_ATTRIBUTES at compile time in order for this to take effect.

As usual, a little code clean up has taken place as well. Visit the change browser for all OpenTracker additions and updates.

He also added a new option to the Tracker settings called "ShowSelectionWhenInactive". Selected items in a Tracker window which is in the background will be shown with grey highlighting instead of appearing to be unhighlighted.

Added support for multiple selection using wildcards by implementing a SelectionWindow. Accessed with the shortcut Shift-Cmd-A or in Tracker windows by the name Select.... The feature supports five types of matching: Starts With, Ends With, Contains, Matches Wildcard Expression, and Matches Regular Expression. These are available through a pop-up menu in the selection window. There are also options for inverting the selection and case sensitivity.

In wildcard mode there is support for the wildcards * and ?. These can be matched using bracket inclosure, which in turn profinds range support. An initial ! or ^ in the bracket (e.g. [!a-f] or [^adefA-Q]) negates the bracket match. The current limitations are: no \-escaping, brackets and ? does not match a multi-byte glyph.

The RegExp class is based on work by Henry Spencer and thus parts of the code is Copyright (c) 1986 by University of Toronto, but is NOT governed by any version of the GPL.

Version 5.1b6
 License:   OpenTracker
 Updated:   July 9, 2000

An excellent new feature for the Tracker file info panel has been added which allows you to view and set the file owner, group, and permissions. Due to UI implementation concerns the feature is still somewhat hidden, but you can access it after opening the file info window by pressing Alt-P, or by right clicking on the icon within the window and selecting "Permissions" from the pop-up menu.

Deskbar has received the long overdue feature which allows for the ability manipulate application windows while in its highly compact mode. You can change Deskbar's mode by grabbing onto the verticle dotted line and dragging it where you want it.

The count view in the lower left hand corner of Tracker windows will now smartly display the "type-ahead" buffer - that is, type a few characters of a file's name and Tracker will scroll down and select it. It also now allows for support of backspace to delete the last entered character(s).
