better cache utilisation (in cache is now max. 1024 entries from various directories), window for settings of communications parameters, drives autodetection, automatic installation on TC v6.50+, TC icons for HPLX specific files, fixed bugs
file date/time and attribute is copyied to HPLX and both can be changed from Total Commander menu
simple unit for INI file handling instead standard one (much smaller code); minor bugs fixed (error handling)
GNU general public license; minor bug fixed (cache processing)
directory cache for speed-up work with the same directory; if file FSPLUGIN.INI is not found, error message is displayed; no default communications parameters
"execute file" function (see below), simpler access to INI file, small bug fixed (copying from CD-ROM to HPLX caused error)
handshakeless communications, HPLX and PC can be connected with 3-wire cable
first public release
Copy HP200LX.WFX file to some directory on PC (Total Commander directory is probably the best place). This step and the next one can be done automatically in Total Commander ver. 6.50+
In Total Commander, choose - - - , click on , choose the HP200LX.WFX file and click OK.
Choose the Network Neighborhood, right click on the HPLX icon, click on "Properties" and set communications parameters. If no HPLX drives are checked, autodection will be performed by every next connection to HPLX
Connect PC and HPLX with the null modem cable (important ;-), only 3-wire cable (RX-TX, TX-RX, GND-GND) can be used
On HPLX run Filer. For the first time check and set communications parameters (port, speed, server mode enabled).
You can now access the HPLX file system via the Network Neighborhood
browse directories
copy or move files from/to HPLX
make and remove directories
delete files, rename files, change files date/time or attributes
execute files – file is copyied into the temporary directory on PC and executed according to the Windows rules
Rename/move files on HPLX is possible only on the same drive f. e. rename A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to A:\PP\AUTOEXEC.BAT is OK, but rename A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT is not OK
Capacity of directory cache is 1024 entries
