Here A1 freezes when workbench screen brought to front by another app when OWB's screen is the frontmost.
Is anyone here familiar with this?

Hi,
Creative mounting there but probably not quiet or efficient.

On the contrary. 90mm fan beats the puny chipset fan noisewise. And it is incredibly hot in here during the summer and all was well  And as I said, it's less weight on the socket/heatsink holders. The stuff developed qiote annoying humm during couple of months. I modded the psu with quiet fan and it wasn't it. I oiled the cooler master and that was it. So I removed it in favour of zalman

@Jack,
I'm curoius about the use of Hebrew fonts and typing. Is this something that can be set in the system settings, or is it specific only to certain programs which include the right to left typing capability? I can't even get this feature in the latest WordPerfect on the neighboring PC! For that matter, I can't seem to get it working correctly in Abiword under Cygnix, either, where it should actually work.
Paul
No extra r2l functionality in OS4.x (the only setting is English + Hebrew iso8859-8 keymap). OWB does r2l internally. No other (except vim) app did it so far (there existed a hack that did the reversal of input for classic AOS, but it fails on OS4) . On pc you need win>=2k or localized version for earlier ones. Language switching is done via OS's language switcher (one needs to add the language to the list to make it appear in the selector.) Cygnix doesn't work well with keyboard extension enabled (remote gtk apps fail to load,I use remote mozilla from time to time, now OWB freed me from using it on regular basis, but sometimes I launch one from boxes at work to save me from downloading big files to A1 and pushing them to work from home). When disabled, keyboard switching doesn't work (othewise it could have been possible to switch keyboard layout on the fly). All the usual X11 apps rely on keyboard switching on the X11 servers side. Fonts are OS4 builtin ones, most of them have Hebrew support.

@QuikSanz I use a "hybrid" of coolermaster (afair "blue ice") without the fan (small fans hum and vibrate) with zalman fb123 braket (with 90mm fan) blowing over the heatsink area. Thermal paste is AS5 (thanks to Raziel, who saved me from the shortage here when I was trying to buy sime). some picsEdit: similar setup reduces load (weight) on the module, and the big fan is very silent, Jack

@joerg
I'm jumping onto this thread to say again that OWB rocks.
Online payments/banking are on par with seamonkey.
I can even type in Hebrew (using appropriate keymap with Hebrew mapped onto ALT qualifier).
Didn't try fancy sites other than bank and local govermental payment pages, but all's well when isolating the combination that makes python crash in presence of OWB.
OWB is the main browser here.
@thread
I'm trying to isolate the conflict that causes python to crash.
Involved software is Cygnix and certain X11 apps.
Here the sequence is as follows, and if anyone who uses Cygnix, I would like to verify if it triggers the ISI :
start OWB
start Cygnix
open one of the following applications: leafpad or sylpheed (or probably other AOS native gtk app)
open Amiga shell andlaunch python
if no ISI at this point: run in python "import socket"
Thanks in advance.

Very nice version! ... also for some reason earlier versions used 90-100% C PU when the "SAM" text at this page was showed (if I scrolled down to hide them it went down). It doesn't get that high anymore...
Besides is that normal and has it happened to anyone else?
Same here, noticed the cpu load drop right away. from average of about 75% to something like 40%. About file downloads: a menu attahced to a link or even shift-click or right click to copy url to the clipboard would be nice intermediate solution. Very nice version indeed. First usable OWB here, and very usable! I think it is going to replace awb here, Even the bank's site works here, including almost correct rendering of Hebrew text (managed to pass the login, but due to malfunction on their side couldn't perform no queries) Jack

Can you copy a valid a4 ps file to par: ?
This should send it as is directly to the printer (prepare the index finger on the cancel button just in case...)
Pay attention to the behaviour of the printer.

It's not a simple task to design a browser from scratch.
It's easier to take a working browser engine or even a browser that uses it and port it.
This is exactly what happens with OWB and NetSurf.

Ok, the investigation revealed this:
1. adding -sPAPERSIZE=a4 to gs options in print dialog or cucommenting "/DEFAULTPAPERSIZE (a4) def"in gs_init.ps" does produce printable a4 output.
2. when printing the result of "1" to file and opening it with amigs (or gv) will result in reported page size "Letter" (or bounding box in gv)
The source of confusion here was: I assumed that I won't get the printable a4 output from AmiGS as long captured to file output is not reported as a4 by the viewer.
The bug seems to be in parsing the pagesize by both viewers.

Thanks for the idea.
I'll rule out the fault of gs first.
After all linux version of gs (gv as a viewer) produces same result with apparently missing pagesize (gv defaults to bounding box while amigs and the printer default to 'letter' pagesize.
If nothing will come from google, I'll contact the author
Edit: found a way to make gs produce PS file with more compliant pagesize: -sDEVICE=ps2write option, but can't make through gs options of printing dialog, will experiment more tomorrow.

Looking at the source to my test out.ps there is aline that sets the page size to /a4

This occurs just after the pswrite preamble.
Same here. The line in the comments section does all the difference. BTW: gv on linux does same with same docs saved by gs into a ps files. All come up as letter. Seems to be the same behaviour of both gs-es. But why the hell it worked on os4.0? It's same printer, same amigs settings. Quote:
BTW its -dFIXEDMEDIA not -DFIXEDMEDIA ie a small -d
Indeed, 10x Jack

Jusst noticed that line 75 of Utilities/Ghostscript/Data/8.54/lib/gs_init.ps is uncommented in OS4.0 (maybe I canged it?, datestamp isn't contradicting that):
/DEFAULTPAPERSIZE (a4) def
Did the same with 4.1, no avail.
Tried:
AOS4.1:Utilities/Ghostscript/gs -r150 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dFIXEDMEDIA -sDEFAULTPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOUTPUTFILE=ram:cover.ps work:latex/covers/cover.ps
(no avail)
The line that input has and output doesn't:
%%DocumentPaperSizes: a4
Injecting it manually seems to cure it. Now looking fot sa way to make it permanent..

Thanks for the confirmation (so it is not something stupid I did, but bug). Something changed in 4.1, will dig into the files asap. I hope the stuff is fixable via editing some text file...

A4 PostScript printing woes with AmiGS/AmiPDF (OS4.1)

I tried to print from AmiGS and AmiPDF to PS printer here.
I set them up as in OS: "Postscipt (PS)" driver inside the applications, -DFIXEDMEDIA as "GS arguments" (also tried "-DFIXEDMEDIA -sPAPERSIZE=a4" and in reverse order too).
I'm trying to print the document that is correctly recognized as A4.
The printer yelled at me that it is "Letter" page size.
I printed it to file and it is "Letter" indeed Prefs/ptiner#? seem to be fine (A4 is selected).
In OS4 I had I working just file (much faster than WB Postscript printer driver when text is present and with only-gfx too)
Can anyone take an A4 pdf or ps document and print it to file with "Postscript (PS)" driver selected in AmiGS/AmiPDF into ram:something.ps and then open it in AmiGS and check the reported paper size?
TIA
Jack
