SN-ListDatei v1.2 - webmaster update
There's a new version of SN-ListDatei available on the sn-archiv.de homepage. SN-ListDatei lists all files of a directory including all sub-directories with date and file size.
New in version 1.2 is the support for webmasters who want their files being handled in specific ways by search engines, e.g. Google. For locking files the file "robots.txt" and for the direct indexing the file "sitemap.txt" can be generated, both accepted for example by Google. The archive contains an image showing Google having accepted the "sitemap.txt". Furthermore, there are three new functions to remove files from the list:
- Removing HTML files (e. g. for robots.txt)
- Only HTML and text files remain (e.g. for sitemap.txt)
- Removing files by using pattern
In the future there'll probably be the possibility to generate a XML file for sitemaps, the standard format for such uses. Right now, only a simpe Text file is created that is accepted at least by Google.
There are two new subdomains for the pages of www.sn-archiv.de:
There were some additons to the Euro collectors site, too.

MorphOS: Alpha-Version von MUI 4
Stefan Stuntz has released an alpha version of MUI 4.0. The author describes this version as "not ready for a while yet" and speaks of "various rough edges."
Changes in this version:
For users:
- All mui programs react in realtime on prefs changes.
- New and much improved background & frame requesters.
- New color requester with many options, fancy triangle, old-fashioned
wheel, linked gradients, etc.
- New image browser.
- Complete asl replacement, fancy file & font requesters.
- New pubscreen manager with skin preview.
- Dont forget to try context menus on all new elements!
- ...
For programmers:
- List class changed completely (subclass of group now), has nice columns, handles scrollbars etc by itself, no more ugly listview->list construct needed. this "list being subclass of group" might be the main reason for incompatibilities, especially with the way older apps use the notify system. Listview.mui is obsolete and mainly an empty shell now.
- MUI finally has a proper multiline text entry class: Textinput.mcc was
built in as "String.mui". an empty Textinput.mcc is supplied as well to
map older apps to the new internal string class. Support in the main
prefs program is still missing, use Textinput.mcp for now.
- You can embed a filerequester if you like, use "Filepanel.mui" and
control with the usual ASLFR_ tags.
- New class for easy sub-process handling.
- ...
The corresponding developer documents (Autodocs) are included in the archive.
