+shlext 2.0.0.9

+

+Info

+=======================

+

+This source code is based on shlext 1.0.6.6 with minor changes so that it works

+with FreePascal 2.2.2.

+

+The included headers (inc dir) are from Miranda 0.3.3.1 SDK and so if you want newer APIs

+then get the API headers from the latest SVN tree.

+

+Note: I have included v0.8.xx API changes for GUIDs within a new file (m_v8.inc)

+

+

+How to build

+=======================

+

+Make sure you have installed the FreePascal compiler ( http://freepascal.org )

+the latest version is 2.2.2 at the time of writing.

+

+Run "make.bat" in this directory, this contains all the command line switches

+for the newer version should produce shlext.dll

+	---Introduction ``What is shlext?``

+	

+	shlext is a Miranda and Explorer shell plugin, it allows you to use your

+	contact list under any file/directory from Windows.

+	

+	This means that you can right click on a file/folder, see "Miranda" and then

+	see your entire contact list! this is a feature that ICQ has built in.

+	

+	shlext is better of course.

+    

+    	---Why so long?

+    

+    	A few people contacted me aeons ago about implementing a better file scanner

+    	so that they could recreate directories whilst sending, etc, I said I would do

+    	this as soon as I had time, that was several months ago.

+    

+    	I had made several changes/bugfixes when I had time, because I'm a Miranda

+    	dev too, I don't usually have lots of time for this plugin, however lately I needed

+    	shlext to run again, since I was sending lots of docs/logs around with Miranda.

+    

+    	So I fixed several things and improved lots of other stuff so that other users

+    	could use shlext again (the XP bug was really annoying as soon as I got XP myself ;)

+	

+	

+	---What you need

+	

+	(2008) You will need 0.7.xx or 0.8.x -- older versions will not work.

+	

+	shlext should work on all Window Explorer versions that support it,

+	certain features will not work on older Explorers, i.e. icons, but you will

+	still be able to use the main function of shlext, selection 'n' transfer.	

+	

+	---New Features (2.0.1.2)

+	

+	* shlext is now compiled with Free Pascal 2.2.4

+	

+	* shlext now works with Windows Vista:

+	

+		1. shlext cannot automatically register itself with Windows Explorer due to permissions issues in Vista,

+			therefore you will be UAC prompted if shlext detects you are running Vista and that shlext isn't registered

+			with Explorer.

+			

+			This is almost automatic, and you just have to press "OK".

+	

+		2. The entire menu drawing was overhauled and now looks much better, new APIs are used so that Vista draws the menus

+			(with theme) but the status icons are still present.

+			

+	* added UAC button for "Remove" from the options dialog.

+	

+	* Removed GetMenuItemInfo() debug message box.

+	

+	* Note: Miranda is a 32bit application, 64bit editions of Windows require a 64bit extension DLL, this is not possible at present.

+	

+	---New features (2.0.0.9+)

+	

+	* shlext is now compiled with Free Pascal 2.2.2 which is a newer compiler with better

+	optimisations so shlext should be faster. (2002 v.s. 2008)

+	

+	* shlext now works with Miranda 0.8.x UUID typing system and 0.8.xx plugin loading APIs,

+		0.7.xx still works too however.

+	

+	* shlext now keeps track of recently used contacts and builds a "MRU" menu for quick

+		access within the menu system. This cannot be disabled, if you hate this feature,

+		please stick pins into a voodoo doll named "Christian", that is all.

+		

+	* The menu strings "Recently" and "Clear entries" are translate()able but MRU is not.

+	

+	---New features (1.0.6.6+)

+    

+	* shlext will now use all your icons per protocol, **not** just the first iconset

+		it finds, it will also use everything properly (because it doesn't do the icon

+		extraction, it just asks Miranda [don't ask why it didn't do this before :P])   

+  

+	* shlext will now use a Translate()'d version of "Miranda" so that each menu

+	  shown for a profile can be given a custom user string

+	

+	* reimplemented file/folder selection, finally! a work-as-expected version, it will

+	  scan and add all files and folders you give it, producing a file list in the background

+	  (scanning your drive) and then send the list to Miranda to send to your selected contact.	  

+	  

+	* Added option for disabling status icons in menus, which means that you can use shlext

+	  with shell variants/file managers that invoke the shlext interface, such as FAR, but

+	  don't need/use the icons.

+      

+    	* Added option about hiding offline users from the context menu, if this option is off

+      	  it will fall back onto syncing with your contact list's "hide offline users"

+	

+	* Added proper thread safety because Miranda 0.3 now has it.

+    

+    	* Completely reimplemented group parsing, which means that all the old group bugs

+      	  can be expected to be gone, note that  shlext will now even create menus for

+      	  subgroups of the same name, e.g. "Miranda\Miranda".

+      

+    	* shlext will now not show a menu for a running Miranda fails the following checks:

+    

+        * not running shlext (duh)

+        * no non-offline contacts (or you have the setting 'hide offline users')

+        * and so on

+        

+    	* shlext will now also completely ignore contacts on protocols who have no file transfer support

+		

+	

+	---Features

+	

+	shlext can:

+	

+	* allow you to refer to your entire contact list from a file/folder context 

+	  menu, this includes multiple profiles! if you have Miranda running

+	  different profiles, you'll see all your profiles as menu items as long

+	  as you're running shlext as a Miranda plugin in that profile.

+	  

+	* Group ability, see a faithful menu rendition of your group hierarchy.

+	  This means you can go something like File->My Profile->Work->Friends->Dude...

+	  

+	  This feature can also be turned off, or enabled in sync with your contact

+	  list option to "Disable groups", this is a per profile setting, i.e. setting

+	  disable groups on one profile won't affect other profiles running shlext.

+	  

+	* Multi protocol aware, shlext can send to anyone on your contact list

+	  not just ICQ!

+	  

+	* Each contact will be shown next to their status icon, as selected in your

+	  profile(s) which means that you'll easily feel at home with the icons,

+          because they will be used as how they are set in each profile.

+	  

+	* lots of files, shlext will now, if given a directory/folder go into that

+	  folder and scan for files and sub directories/folders til it's added

+	  everything.

+	  

+	  This means if you send c:\foobar, it will search c:\foobar\*.* for more

+	  files to add, it will also add c:\foobar as a directory space to send.	  

+	  Which means that if the other side hasn't got a 'foobar' directory, it will

+	  be created! (Note: recreating directory trees depends on the protocol being used to send)	

+	  

+	  

+	--Quirks

+	

+	* shlext displays all your users by default, if your contact list is set to

+	  NOT show offline users, then shlext will not show them.

+	

+	* shlext doesn't use all your group settings, it will not ad here to

+	  "hide offline users in here", however if a group has got offline users

+          it won't show them (per setting option!)

+	  

+	

+	

+	---Important changes

+	

+	Older versions of shlext did not go into folders more than one level, i.e.

+	if you added c:\foobar it would scan for c:\foobar\*.* and add all the files

+	but not go into each directory\folder deeper than that!

+	

+	shlext also now does background selection scanning, which means when you select

+	a group of files/folders/directories, it will let you get on with chating

+	until it's made a file list which you can send to the person you've selected.

+	

+	shlext will NOT send any file/folder/directory that is marked "hidden"

+	

+	Also, sometimes you will see "n files, 1 directory" when you say select something

+        e.g. c:\foobar, this is because shlext now also includes the top level directory so that the

+	remote side will know to create it, as well as sub directories.

+	

+	

+	

+	---But Miranda has drag'n'drop!

+	

+	Yeah, that's okay when you can reach Miranda, but I have multiple profiles and

+	the "hide after NN seconds" option enabled, also I have groups!

+	

+	Miranda doesn't auto expand a group when someone is online unless you do that

+	yourself, which means drag 'n' drop has failed. Also, when you've selected a 

+	large amount of files, Miranda will *freeze* completely whilst 

+	it 1) scans all those files, 2) builds a copy of the given send list

+	

+	Whilst shlext only freezes Miranda for the latter, and that is seldom a "complete freeze".

+	

+	And of course, shlext uses Miranda 0.3's advanced threading services, which means

+	if you've asked shlext to build a massive send list, you can still exit Miranda safely

+	which you can't with drag 'n' drop!

+	

+	

+	

+	---Installation

+	

+	If you've never installed shlext before, all you have to do is install it like

+	any other Miranda plugin, i.e. copy it to your plugins directory.

+	

+	That's it! you should goto Miranda->Options->Plugins->Shell Context Menus

+	to see if you'd like to set any of the options, however shlext works straight

+	out of the box and you don't really need to set anything up after that.

+	

+	If you want to use shlext with multiple profiles, you don't have to do any

+	special setting up either, just make sure that shlext is running with each Miranda

+	you want shlext to show a menu contact list for.

+	

+	Make sure ALL copies of shlext.dll are the same, i.e. 1.0.6.6, if they're not

+	then shlext will fail (this doesn't mean 'crash').

+	

+	

+	---Upgrading/Removing

+	

+	Upgrading shlext has always been a pain for users (and me!) this is because

+	shlext.dll runs in Windows and in Miranda (at the same time).

+	

+	So when you've shutdown Miranda, shlext.dll maybe kept in memory by Windows

+	to make things worse, clicking any file/folder will result in shlext.dll being

+	reloaded, so if you do shlext.dll->Delete, Windows will ask shlext.dll if

+	it wants to show any menus, nevermind the fact delete was selected!

+	

+	This happens also if you just press 'delete' whilst shlext.dll is selected.

+	

+	However! All is not lost, this is what you do:

+	

+	* goto M->Options->Plugins and disable shlext.dll as a Miranda plugin 

+	* goto M->Options->Plugins->Shell context menus and click 'Remove'.

+	* Shutdown Miranda IM

+	

+	Advanced users only: ----------------------------------------------------

+	

+	* Do all the above and then open a console window (Command prompt, etc)

+	* Make sure all applications have been shutdown

+	* Goto the directory where Miranda is, e.g. c:\, cd Miranda

+	* Goto Start->Shutdown, let the dialog come up and hold CTRL+ALT+SHIFT

+	  and press cancel.

+	  

+	  This will shutdown Explorer but not Windows, you can now do: del shlext.dll

+	  

+	* now run Explorer.exe usually in C:\Windows, shlext.dll will be removed. 

+    

+    	----------------------------------------------------------------------------

+	

+	The remove button will ask Windows not to load it anymore, by removing

+	all shlext registry entries, the button will also remove any settings from your

+	profile settings database that it may of made.

+	

+	You should now be able to delete shlext.dll! however if you still are unable

+	to, you may need to log out (if you're using XP/2000/NT) if you're using

+	9x then you may have to restart Windows (pain I know, sorry!)

+	

+	You should now be free of old shlext copies and you can refer to "Installation"

+	above.

+	

+	If you were using shlext.dll with multiple profiles, the remove shlext

+	from each profile as stated above and then copy the newer shlext.dll to

+	your plugins folder.

+	

+	---Translation

+	

+	I haven't been nice about translation strings in the past, but you

+	can pretty much translate everything shlext uses a string, even

+	"Miranda" which is shown in the menu.

+	

+	Note that some strings can't be translated, this is because some parts

+	of the plugin run within Explorer and that doesn't have access to Miranda's

+	langpacks, the "Miranda" string that appears in menus is a special exception

+	

+	;

+	; Translate()'able strings for shlext/2.0.0.9

+	;

+	

+    	;"Miranda" limited to 63characters! (exceed and it's chopped)

+	;[Miranda] 

+	;[Problem, registration missing/deleted.]

+	;[Successfully created shell registration.]

+	;[Not Approved]

+	;[Approved]

+	;[Are you sure? this will remove all the settings stored in your database and all registry entries created for shlext to work with Explorer]

+	;[Disable/Remove shlext]

+	;[Shell context menus]

+	

+	; new in 2.0.0.9, both these strings cannot be longer than 63  chracters

+	;[Clear entries]

+	;[Recently]

+	

+	;IDD_SHLOPTS

+	;[Menus]

+	;[Display contacts in their assigned groups (if any)]

+	;[Only if/when the contact list is using them]

+	;[Display hidden, ignored or temporary contacts]

+	;[Shell Status]

+	;[Do not display the profile name in use]

+	;[Contact Status]

+	;[Show contacts that you have set privacy rules for]

+	;[Remove]

+	;[Do not show status icons in menus]

+	;[Do not show contacts that are offline, even if my contact list does]

+	

+	

+	

+	

+	---License

+	

+	Like Miranda, shlext is released under the GPL, you may find the full

+	FreePascal source-code on the CVS in plugins module 'shlext'

+	

+	You will need at least FreePascal/2.2.2, GNU make (if you want to use the makefile)

+	

+	Follow the CVS links from http://sf.net/projects/miranda-icq/

+		

+	Note: All the tools used to build shlext are also under the GPL!

+	

+	

+	---Contact/Bug reporting

+	

+	In the past shlext hasn't been as stable as it could be, but this was mainly

+	due to the problems of 0.2.0.0 and early 0.3.0.0 Miranda builds, I've taken

+	care to make sure things are stable as can be.

+	

+	If you have any problems/crashes, please contact me at: egodust at users.sf.net.

+	

+	Please include the following information: Windows version, service packs installed,

+	build version of Explorer, Miranda version, shlext version, a list of plugins

+	that you think maybe involved in crashes, steps to reproduce errors and so on.

+	

+	Note that shlext has been blamed for several bugs that were not shlext's fault,

+	for example the file xfer cancel bug was in ICQ and Miranda but not shlext ;)

+	

+
