QuickTools is the tool-package for the harddisk-owner who is tired of
writing long pathnames when changing directories and who doesn't have
the time to search for files manually. QuickTools consists mainly of
four small utilities and a library where the search-routines are. All
search-routines support standard AmigaDOS wildcards.

Qcd:
With this you can change directory by only writing enough of the
directory name to identify it. The directory can be anywhere on the
harddisk.

If you want to change to a directory with the following path: 
'Harddisk0:Work/SAS/SelfMade/QuickCD'
It's several ways to do it:
You can write: 'Qcd Harddisk0:Work/SAS/SelfMade/QuickCD' (the hard way)
Or           : 'Qcd hard:/sas//quic'
Or           : 'Qcd Self/Quick'
Or           : 'Qcd :///#?cd'
Or           : 'Qcd QuickCD' 
Or just      : 'Qcd qui'   (the fast way)

And bang you are in 'Harddisk0:Work/SAS/SelfMade/QuickCD' !!
Quite nice eh!! 

QFind:
Search for files, scans through the database in just a few seconds.

QPop:
A commodity for file and directory searching.

QMan:
A documentation finding utility using the database to locate the
documentation file for a specified program. The found file can be shown
with a configurable viewer.


These programs are a must for any serious hard-disk user!!
                                    

Brief summary of news and fixes for Release 1.1:
- Default arguments for most commands can be put in a envirorment
  variable.
- QCD opens selection requester on the active public screen if possible.
- Posiblilites to disable the selection requester in QCD.
- GetQInfo has got a number of new parameters: OLDERTHAN, DELAY, 
  SAVEREQUEST, EXCLUDEDIR, EXCLUDEFILE.

See QuickTools.doc for description of all changes.


Why use QuickTools instead of other similar utilities:
- All search routines support wildcards and are in a seperate library 
  which also could be used by *your* program without any trouble.
- Qcd, QFind and QMan is quite small and can be made resident.
- The database is quite compact, (37K to store 4500 filenames with 
  directory information).
- Qcd is almost as fast as the normal CD since the directory database
  is kept resident in memory.
- QPop can pop up with a hotkey and the search result can be copied to 
  the clipboard so that it can be pasted to the input stream by program 
  supporting this.
- All GUI's can be controlled by the keyboard. No need to move your 
  hand to the mouse.

Not convinced ? Give it a try anyway.
