Description:

FilerFix is a module which changes Filer's action when Ctrl is pressed.
Normally when you open a filer window, Ctrl is checked as the window opens.
If it is pressed then Filer_Boot is suppressed for the objects within that
directory. The problem is that it's all too easy to double click on the
directory then remember how long it's going to take to start up. By this
time you're too late, because Filer only checks Ctrl immediately after you
double-click. FilerFix watches for Ctrl all the time and sets the appropriate
flag in Filer workspace when it sees it. The upshot is that you can press
Ctrl at any time after double-clicking to suppress Filer_Boots. Again this
checks the Filer module version and refuses to run if the version isn't that
used in RISC OS 3.11.
