Digital Universe website temporarily unavailable.

Hi,

Just a note that the Digital Universe webstie and download area are currently unavailable.

Somehow someone managed to get the FTPCHK3 : Virus onto it, so I had to delete it and will (slowly at 512kbps, thanks BT for the wonderful line!) so it will be a few days before it is back running again.

Hi Hubert,

Details emailed but I will reply here for the benefit of anyone else.

You can download the 1.6 update from http://www.digitaluniverse.org.uk/installfiles/

AmiUpdate has not been updated yet for this newer location, but will be when v1.7 is released.

To login you will need a UID and a password.

The UID is your name which is case sensitive and must have no spaces.
eg.

John Smith would have the UID "JohnSmith".

The password is your DU registration number which is not case sensitive and can be with or without the spaces.

If you want your UID to be something else let me know.

Bill.

It seems my ISP has a rather small daily bandwidth download allowance and they shut down the site. I will be uploading the file to OS4 Depot instead and delete that one, I don't want the site disappearing every day or two

TurboPrint 7.x works with AmigaOS 4.1.

Not 100%. I used to have irrecoverable crashes with TP7.1 and OS4x on my XE when printing a plain text file. Graphic dumps worked OK but text files alsways locked up the system. The problem was never resolved AFAIK.

I now use an HP Photosmart on my XE and X1000 using the HP_Photosmart driver on OS4 Depot. So do not use TP at the moment.

Re: MUIM_List_Insert: Should I see individual entries being added for a single large insert?

Posted on: 2012/11/3 16:59 #131

Glad using NLists sorted things out.

I haven't used the basic List classes for a while but cannot recall this problem when I did. I don't see it using NLists which DU uses quite a lot of

> No, I am *not* sorting the list each time I add an entry. Rather I am asking MUI to insert each entry into the correct place, so that it stays sorted

I should have worded that better, I assume MUI must run a sort routine to add the entry in the correct place, which for many entries added individually will slow things down. That however seemed not to be the case for you as adding to the bottom of the lists did not help you either. It looks as if the built in Lists may have a bug ??

I am guessing here but maybe because you are sorting the list each time you add an entry, the list is getting refreshed ?

I tend to use Nlists but the commands seem to be equivalent.

What you could try is using pos = MUIV_List_Insert_Bottom
and after all the insertions are finished then do a sort using:

DoMethod(list_obj,MUIM_List_Sort);

It should also be quicker as you only sort the list once and not on every item insertion.

I recommend buying a card from an Amiga dealer like AmigaKit, who supplies cards that have been tested and are known to work.

Tongue in cheek reply !

Were they the ones who advised us all to use the 4xxx series in our X1000s ?
I am sure they were

I will stick with my 4670 and wait for Gallium, as has been said the W3D drivers are just a bonus anyway, and I don't play many games.

Looking around the 5xxx series seem to be a *downgrade* from the 4670, and the 6xxx are a bit expensive on ebay.co.uk at the moment.

I think I will not miss W3D too much for a while

Blumming brilliant. A far better way than having these yellow gurus that annoyingly tell you to click the mouse button knowing well it doesn't work.

This shoud be incorporated into the OS.

It gives you chance if need be to do a soft reboot, to quit the Guru the only way is a total hardware reset.

Excellent work.

The choice of GUI toolkit springs to mind as the very first thing. While MUI is generally OK with me, I do prefer (and donate more money to) projects that provide OS4's standard GUI.

1. For anything complex I prefer a MUI interface over a Reaction one anyday.

2. OS4 has a very good MUI anyway which is in development and getting better all the time.

3. It would not make sense if an application is working perfectly with a MUI interface to waste time converting it to Reaction (which IMHO is less versatile anyway).

Digital Universe v1.7 Status

Posted on: 2012/7/14 16:58 #139

New Thread, following from http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum ... t_id=72166#forumpost72166 and onwards.

A list of bugfixes and new features for v1.7 can be viewed at:
http://www.digitaluniverse.org.uk/history17.html

Note the change of operation:

DigitalUniverse now uses a DOUBLE CLICK before showing any object information. A single click is ignored, thus preventing accidental opening of Object Information windows when not intended.
