Why do we have a Prefs program, URL, that needs to be set to open different kinds of web sites (http:, https:, etc), with different browsers? Same for email.

I see posts all thew time: web links aren't being opened correctly again.

Why would you use one browser for http: sites, but another for https: sites? Why not use the same for everything?

So why don't you dumb the program down?

Pick your browser and set how to pass it the link.

Pick you email program and how to pass it a mailto:xxx@yyy.com.

Done. One time. One setting each. Not 4+.


At the same time, I use Odyssey. Why does it have such a hard time opening links from within a program's About window, for example? Usually opens to it's default page.

That's what I was afraid of: seems to have never worked from day 1.

I just wanted some simple controls in Workbench Explorer, not intending to be a full blown player or anything. But nice to have.

STM_PAUSE and STM_RESUME I believe are A-EON options only. I had to STM_STOP with OS4; that works fine, but not ideal.

You would think changing volume would be a common thing and not an old bug/defect in the sound.datatype. No one has wanted to change the volume in the last 5+ years?

No, I did not revert back to the original datatypes. Should that really matter? sound.datatype is what is in control of the output level, not the wav/mpeg.datatype, yes?

I was playing/testing with MP3s and WAVs from Enhancer Pack. Same garbled with both types.

This code works, but when resume the audio is partially garbled. Almost like it is playing from 2 spots, just slightly off, at the same time.


sound.datatype 53.27, X5000.

How do you change the volume of a sound (MP3 in my case) using the datatype while it is playing?

I have a volume slider, 0-64. I check the value then do this:

IDataTypes->SetDTAttrs(SoundObject,MainWindow,NULL,
SDTA_Volume, SoundVolume,
TAG_DONE);

This works on my X5000 with A-Eon's sound.datatype 53.27, but not with the original 53.6. I tested this on my X5000, WinUAE, and jabirulo's Sam.

I was using 54.2, now using 54.5, problem fixed. Thanks!

The way CodeBench creates the makefile needs to be updated for large projects. I was just letting him know.


Delete, never heard of it.

With my project Workbench Explorer, I have reached the maximum files (probably total text length) rm can handle deleting. It crashes.

See screen grab here:

Just do: rm -v #?.o

V1.5 build 5000 has been released.

Use the auto updater in the Project menu, Check latest version.


###### [1.5 build 5000] - 2017-08-12
### Added
- Preferences now listens for cursor up/down to change pages.
- Preferences->Preview->Show MP3 tags
If enabled, the Preview pane is split 60/40 to show MP3/FLAC tags data pane.
F6 to toggle the data pane, temporarily.
- View menu->Toggle metadata pane F6
Temporarily toggle the metadata pane for MP3/FLAC and EXIF data.
- Metadata panes support mouse wheel scrolling.
- Duplicate File Finder->Comparison Mode
Compare files by: Filename, Filename no extension, Filename and size,
or Hash (default). Hash mode set in Preferences->Search.
- Duplicate File Finder->Recursively descend drawers.
Option to only search the current drawer or all subdrawers.
- View style->Thumbnail + Details
Unfortunately, if you are using Filmstrip, you will have to change your view
style and save your preferences to get things back to normal.
Also can be set in Preferences->View style.
- Thumbnail and Thumbnail + Details now show MP3/FLAC album artwork in list.
- Preferences->Devices category.
- Preferences->Devices->Show volume label as.
Set one of four different ways.
- Preferences->Devices->Show empty drives.
NOTE: This will mount inactive volumes, like GoogleDrive. The X5000 DVD drive
usually won't show up until you actually insert a disc.
- Archive each item separately. All menus.
For each item selected, LhA archive it to it's own archive, dropping any
extension, and naming it MyItem.lha.
- Preferences->Language category. Switch between languages on the fly. Only
the languages you have installed are shown.
- Preferences->Archives->Open destination in a new tab after extraction.
- Preferences->Archives->Use LhA to extract LhA archives.
More extraction options. See note below about browsing inside archives.
- Improved Test LhA Archive results.
- New installer using the Installation Utility.
- All windows now have resize and depth gadgets.
- Brightness slider in the palette requester is up and working.
- Preferences->Window category.
- Preferences->Search category.

### Fixed
- Preferences->FTP Sites checkbox gadgets got misaligned.
- Preferences permanent changes made also applies to Toolbar, Tabs, User
Buttons, and FTP Sites.
- Striping wasn't correct in Duplicate File Finder results.
- Filmstrip view style was not being set properly in menu locations.
- Sound files weren't always stopped when switched files.
- Some archive functions weren't unlocking the path lock.
- Preferences->Toolbar directional arrows were out of synch at times.
- Preferences->Window position gadgets left aligned properly.
- Get Version now shows the FULL version string, not just the first line.
- Handles Enhancer Pack's Format properly.
- Eliminated the listbrowser flicker.
- Delete does a better job of deleting protected drawers/files.
- Duplicate File Finder opened all results if picked one and hit Enter.
- Changing tabs had some weird results.
- Bug in handling User Buttons.
- When iconify, any preview is stopped.
- Several small tweaks to the palette requester.
- Some menu items weren't being filled in if cancelled out of Preferences.
- Tweaked every window to be resizable.
- When browsing inside an archive, if you pick a file and pick default
extract, only the file is extracted. If you pick a drawer and default
extract, the entire parent tree is extracted with it.
If you pick a file and "Extract archive...", you can select to extract just
the file or with parent tree. Drawer will extract the entire parent tree
every time.

### Changed
- Preferences->View style->Sort devices, moved to Preferences->Devices.
- Preferences->View style->Drawers order, moved to Preferences->Devices.
- Preferences->Operation->Window position, moved to Preferences->Window.
- Preferences->Operation->Iconify, moved to Preferences->Window.
- Preferences->Operation->Search results, moved to Preferences->Search.
- Rearranged Project menu a little.

Some suggestions for the gadget:

1) Allow image then text, or just image, in the default unpressed state. Items can have images, why not everywhere? Especially for Dropdown.

2) Dropdown, split the gadget in 2: main body and down arrow, but visibly 1 gadget. If click on main body it does the default, not open the dropdown. If click on the arrow, then open dropdown. How Windows does it. Very handy.

[Img] Copy Files v

Click on main body, it copies (does not open list). Click on down arrow it opens list with:

Copy As
Duplicate
Move
etc.

3) Sub-menus in items

Button v
Item 1
Item 2 > Sub-item 1
Item 3 Sub-item 2
Sub-item 3

4) When using only an image, borderless. I will put a separator image after it if it needs one.

@amigakit

Thanks. Most do, but not the ones I am interested in:

AnimGadget
EXIF
ListViewerGadget
ThumbslistGadget

SelectGadget (does have example)

Those have potential to be used in Workbench Explorer.

Am I blind, or are there no demos/examples for any of the gadget classes? How am I supposed to know what they do? What they look like? How they function? Why I would want to use them in my project?

I use FTPMount to access my WD My Cloud. Works just fine.

FTPMount is a bit finicky to install and get running. Running on my X5000 Pre-Release OS.

After several hours I got what I wanted to work. A little bit of a learning curve.

If I followed your steps correctly, the third file IS copied for me. If you are not seeing a conflict requester for the third file, that is good, it is not a conflict. But it is copied.

I started to update my Workbench Explorer installer script to use the OS4 Installation Utility.

This is totally different than the old installer. Does any one have, or know of, some scripts I can look at to get me started?

Simpler the better: Welcome, install where?, install some catalogs?, do the install, goodbye.

I could not get Clock and Calendar to install, either. Same issue and ChrisH.


One issue with Format: no REQ command line option like original. From Workbench Explorer I do
"SYS:System/Format device=%s req". This selects the drive and goes to the "second" window for name and such. The Enhancer one has to be WBRun with no args and have to pick the drive from list then move on to second window.
