Updates for Object Desktop 2.0 Beta 4
-------------------------------------


Enhanced Folder
---------------

1. If Toolbar under options tab is not enabled, a toolbar 
appears at the bottom of the folder

2. When navigating using the toolbar drop-down and goto 
parent button, some folders would remain cross-hatched 
(open emphasis).

3. When a folder is not in browse mode, the parent folder 
button should open a new view.

4. Use Ctrl button to open a new view with parent button 
when folder is in browse mdoe.

5. Beta 3 rendered copy/move/create toolbar buttons 
unusable.

6. Add the "always use grid view" global option.


Object Navigator
----------------

1. When re-sizing an Object Navigator window horizontally 
larger, small black vertical lines appear in the new window 
border where the old window border was.


Master Setup
------------

1. When shell is restarted, Control Center and other 
objects were not restarted until Object Desktop folder was 
opened.

2. To avoid OS/2 desktop archive problem where old Master 
Setup objects   would retain settings and activity, use INI 
data for restart object settings.


Object Netscan
--------------

1. General problems with display when set horizontally and 
1-high mode.


Virtual Desktop
----------------

1. Layout code now keeps from moving some windows which 
start with NULL size (0,0) from moving off-screen.

2. WarpCenter should be automatically recognized as locked 
window (SmartCenter was, WarpCenter was not).

3. When no applications were open, desktop swich would not 
occur.


Window Controls
---------------

1. Rollup button of the Task Manager would corrupt winodw.


Object Package
--------------

1. On some systems with large number of classes or large 
SOMIR= environment variable (eg. Smartsuite), Object 
Package would fail to work for store desktop.  Smaller 
number of files could be stored, but large complete shell 
would not.

2. Multiple open/close of object package editor would 
eventually cause a message displayed for corrupt file, when 
file was not actually corrupt.
