Re: Dockies with new SDK

@Cyborg

With the new Amidock (OS4.1), in the rendering mode that used to be pseudo-alpha but seems now to be real alpha, dockies are drawn differently depending on whether Intuition uses compositing or not (regarding the alpha channel). Is there a way to get around this ?

Example : when drawing a picture with an alpha channel to the docky rastport (e.g. an AISS bitmap), with compositing off the result is the one expected, whereas with compositing on the docky is partially transparent (one can see the dock background) near the outlines of the picture, where alpha is not 1.

If the docky is rejected by Amidock it could be related to the version number (has to be V50+) or to the lib name (has to match the name of the docky file).

Not directly related to the new SDK, but if compositing is enabled Amidock now seems to use the alpha channel when blitting the docky to its window. So if like me you didn't care about the high order byte, maybe your docky is transparent

.
(IMHO, this behaviour shouldn't be the default).

Re: Dock app icon menu (right click) ?

@TSK

For a standalone docky, add this in DockyGet() method, tag DOCKYGET_ContextMenu:

Quote:

Object *item1 = PopupMenuItemObject,
PMIA_Title, "Open Prefs...",
PMIA_ID, PMID_PREFS,
PopupMenuItemEnd;

IIntuition->IDoMethod((Object *)msgData, OM_ADDMEMBER, item1, TAG_DONE);

For an app docky, AFAIK the option is added automatically with the appropriate tag in RegisterApplication() and you have to handle the corresponding applib message.

P.S.: how do other developers need access to the image?

Using ReAction's bitmap.image, for example.

@mason
A bitmap for a "CD Rip" button (maybe just the "sendtocd" bitmap with the arrow reversed

)
Also, I think there's a mistake in the 4.5 distribution, the "popup" ghosted image is a copy of the "popwin" one.
Good work!

Re: FTPMount feedback

Currently Ftpmount locks the doslist (indirectly through AddDosEntry()) when adding itself, which can cause a deadlock when the list is already locked, so maybe something could be improved there (using NonBlockingModifyDosEntry() ?).

An option to sort libraries by extension, or better, a second column in the listbrowser telling the "type" of library for known extensions (with column sorting) : "BOOPSI gadget", "Datatype", "USB function driver", etc...

I agree too but then we should have some kind of loading/caching mechanism because on my unfixed A1XE internal IDE the majority of application using AISS are really crawling at startup (20 seconds to load is not uncommon).

There is already such a system of shared bitmaps in OS4 intuition (don't know if ReAction uses it though).

Ouch! That definitively shouldn't happen, be AISS installed or not. Feel free to send me a log of the crash at the address mentioned in the archive (after a complete lock up, you can still generate a report typing "dumpdebugbuffer ram>log.txt clear" in a shell after a "soft" reset).

Re: DiscreetFX is evaluating toolkits for Aladdin 4D OS 4.0 version.

@Amigo1

IMHO, Feelin is very promising and offers new interesting features, the problem is that the API is still changing (faster than the builtin classes...) and the developer archive contains a significative amount of things "under construction".
It has several advantages over MUI/ReAction (no BOOPSI, XML stuff, ...) but ATM I'm not sure you have the minimum required for the typical GUI (e.g. : no menus).
Otherwise, it would be also a good candidate

I'll second for MUI, though I currently use ReAction for programming. If you plan to build versions for other systems this is the best choice, and besides that it has more high level features and classes than ReAction.
Current OS4 version of MUI is way outdated and a bit buggy (vertical gradients, etc...), but I'm still hoping for a MUI4 port that would change the deal

I mean DOS process, the parent/child feature is available through DOS function CreateNewProcTags().

AFAIK, at the moment you'd better use MEMF_SHARED memory between your different processes because parent process memory flagged as MEMF_PRIVATE is not shared with its children (NP_Child flag) (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
