You can now exclude the named + file types from being associated with an application: + + ASSOC ! *.txt *.ps *.pdf + + + This is handy if you want to use a default association for most + things, but have a select group of files not be affected by the + default and thereby passed down to the OS for normal processing. + +- Any association (normal, default, exclusion) can be removed by + leaving the right-hand-side blank: + + ASSOC *.foo + ASSOC * + ASSOC ! + + This is useful within conditional blocks when you want to define + 'twander' behavior differently based on some condition you're + checking. Another use is to undefine an Association that was put in + place in a global configuration you .included into your setup. + +CHANGES + +- All association checks are now case-insensitive under Windows. + +- Association "types" now support filename "globbing" meta- + characters. This means that association statements supported in the + previous release need to be changed slightly. This: + + ASSOC .txt ... + + Need to be changed to this: + + ASSOC *.txt .... + + This feature enables far more complete filename type specification + than was previously possible with just the "filename ends with .." + semantic. + +- If a file is selected and the user double-clicks or hits "Enter", + and that file is not executable AND has no applicable association + defined, 'twander' will present an error message. It does this + only on the Unix-like systems. On Windows, the request is + handed down to the underlying OS without comment because + Windows itself may have an applicable association. + + +DOCUMENTATION + +- The manual has been updated and corrected in several places. + +- Documentation for the new features has been added. + + WHATSNEW For 'twander' 3.204 (Sat Dec 16 02:37:58 CST 2006) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
