There is a problem with the redirection. It has been reported to the hosters, so hopefully it will get fixed soon. It is intermittent though, sometimes it works, most times not.

I suggest to do as mentioned earlier, and use the "amiupdate.codebench.co.uk" server for public updates for now, and turn off the self-update feature until I release the next version which will allow you to set the server to check for AmiUpdate updates (rather than always trying www.amiupdate.net).

When the update is released, it will appear in the main update list, so you won't miss it.

Like everything internet, there are many links in the chain. I'm sure it will sort itself out in time.

The newlib memory copy functions are optimised for the host hardware as best they can be. You might squeeze a bit more, but they are well tried and tested.

Simon

What's wrong with NotePad? Just change the WORDWRAP tooltype to "YES", and voila!

Simon

I would hazzard a guess at "probably not", as I would assume the emulation would be so slow as to make it not worth anyones time to even try.

@nubechecorre

Removed, thanks

Simon

Congrats on your first dev project.

Simon

It appears to have been removed already.

Simon

Removed, thank you.

Simon

Not only do they use iBrowse, but some even prefer it! :)

Simon

What are you going to do for the other 3 days? :)

Simon

CodePad is a long story. Maybe one day...

The later massstorage driver requires mounter.library. The older one did not, that's why.

Simon

This is a superb initiative from someone that appears to have done their homework. The XMOS chip has been around long enough now, and it is about time someone payed some interest in it.

May I suggest you either don your flame-proof jacket, or ignore the negative comments that will inevitably ensue from this.

Either way, please do not be put off by the doom-mongers and nay-sayers in the various fora. Despite their repeated attempts to discredit such an initiative, just carry on and ignore the bad.

It really is something worth pursuing, despite what others might say.

@Elwood

Strange, in the very first photo, sitting right opposite you at the table, looks like a bearded Hans-Joerg...

Simon

Did I see the twins in one of those photos?

I must admit, I cannot understand why any third party developer would want to force their users to have to download an extra product just to use some basic functionality like this.

It just leads to more work, as it would be all nice and friendly to support the extra features, but it is two lots of code to determine whether x.library is installed or not.

Personally, I see this whole "enhancer" business as confusion as far as users are concerned. And lets not even go into the politics of the products which have since been taken over over that were previously system components. I mean, just how confusing is it all?

I applaud the work you, and your team are doing, to create additions to the OS, but that's all they are, and as application programmers go, I am one of those that will support whatever comes with the OS. Expecting my users to download (and pay for) an additional download in order to use my software just doesn't cut it.

I understand that your "enhancer" software would use your own classes/gadgets/etc, but to try and push that out to all developers just doesn't make sense.

If you want people to use your additions, make them free. If that doesn't fit your business model, then keep them in-house. Polluting every forum you can find with "adverts" of your stuff really isn't, IFAICS, going to gain ground.

As an example, lets assume that AmiUpdate makes use of this progress bar in the Ringhio notifications, I cannot guarantee that it is available, so I need two branches of code to accommodate the possibilities. It really isn't worth the effort, especially when you consider AmiUpdate is Free-licence software, but may possibly not work unless you gadget class is available.

All in my opinion, of course. (which does not represent anyone other individual or company).

Simon

PS: This is all hypothetical, and doesn't really require an answer, as there is no real question asked.

All I'm getting from that TinyUrl link is a load of shit popups asking me to install Chrome plugins.

EDIT:

Well, there's a first. I tried with Odyssey and the link worked. I think that must be the first time ever an Amiga browser succeeded where a mainstream browser has failed.

I'll test it tommorrow.

Simon

It didn't work for me either, and I'm running Chrome under Windows 7, so it's not an Amiga thing.

Simon

Right, then I'm sorry, but it looks like there's not much more that can be done. What you are proposing is beyond the scope of the design.
