DocMa is a MUI based Multimedia Document Manager. It displays
directories in an icon list. Each icon is specified by the filetype of
the directory entry. You can start applications with the icons as
argument by doubleclicking on the icon, open new windows, drag icons
between windows, delete or rename files and last but not least calculate
thumbnails from picture files. Therefore DocMa uses the datatype system.
So you can read in every picture file for which you have a datatype (you
can find them e.g. in the aminet drawer "util/dtype"). Picasso96,
CyberGraphX and the new Picture Datatype V43 are supported.

With the "docmafr.library" there is a filerquester with the same
interface as the asl library has. It is possible to patch the asl
library to use the DocMa requester for selectable programs.

DocMa is shareware, so if you like it and want to use it in future,
please register it! Then you will get a keyfile which will supress the
"nerv-requester" that is displayed every time you start DocMa.



Changes since last version:
/*****************************************************************************

(NEW) new feature    (IMP) improved feature     (BUG) removed bug


V1.6 (26.06.97)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(NEW) XiPaint mpic files are directly supported. If you open a picture drawer
      on the XiPaint CD, the thumbnails will be automaticaly loaded. If they are
      to small for you (60x60), just press "Update"...

(IMP) Improved loading speed of directories. But now the icons are first shown
      after loading the completely directory.

(IMP) The DocMa Filerequester has now everytime a pattern gadget.

(IMP) The Filenames for the thumbnails from the "avoided devices" wasn`t choosen
      right. Now the name of the device (CD) is inserted before the path.

(BUG) Removed a semaphore deadlock, that sometimes occurred when the window was
      resized while loading a directory.

(BUG) Removed some bugs, which occured on Amigas with low memory.
