This is OpenIt 1.2. This Finder Extension allows you to type in a
pathname and does various things which depend on the filetype of the file whose
pathname you enter.
For folders, it opens the folder in the Finder. For SYS, S16, or EXE files,
it launches them. For any other filetype, it sends out a finderSaysBeforeOpen
message, so that other extensions can use the file whose pathname you typed
in. For example, you can open CDEVs with OpenIt 1.1, or TeachReader files,
etc.. Anything else that accepts the finderSaysBeforeOpen and does something
useful with the files. Another example is that if you have the Balloon Finder
extension, typing in the path of a SHK archive will open it in Balloon.
Install in the FinderExtras folder of your System folder on your boot disk
and reboot, or use a utility that allows you to load special System files
immediately.
This software is shareware. Read the Info window inside of the program for
more details.
Changes:
1.2: 5/12/97
The biggest change is that I special case the up and down arrows for
LineEdit. It doesn't erase your selection and enter literal up and down
arrow characters anymore. Up arrow moves to the left end, and right arrow
moves to the right end of the text.
Also, the window is now a movable modal dialog (rather than a regular
modal dialog). Your placement of the dialog is remembered during each session.
If someone's really wants the location to be saved permanently, suggest it.
1.1: This version sends out the finderSaysBeforeOpen message for files other
than executables or folders.
1.0: The original release.
