Description:

FilerPatch modifies the RISC OS 3.10 Filer module to give the following
enhancements:
* Applications don't need the '!' as first character of leaf name.
* Objects can be hidden (not shown in directory viewer).
* Display configurations for directory viewer can be saved in a hidden file.
* Additions to the menus, including a new set type menu showing all known
  file types and their icons, sorted by name or value.
* Configurable keyboard shortcuts for all filer and user-defined operations.
* Applications can be opened and programs loaded without holding down SHIFT.
* Directories can be displayed with their own icons.
* Running an application without a '!Run' file within it opens it instead.
