Re: how to save the Ram Disk icon position once for all

Posted on: 2009/4/12 23:08 #1221

Just can't stay away

@SoundSquare

1. Scrap any and all apps or other "smart" solutions you are using, and remove anything you might have put into your Startup-Sequence or User-Startup regarding the RAM Disk icon.

2. Get the RAM Disk icon to contain the image you want, make sure it opens the size and position of window you want, and position it at the spot you want. Then snapshot it.

3. In a Shell, type "copy RAM:Disk.info to ENVARC:Sys/def_RAM.info clone".

4. Reboot.

5. Never worry again, at least as long as you avoid creating a real RAM:Disk.info.

(6. In case I got some detail of this wrong - it's all from memory - blame me, and yell at me, and I'll try to fix it

).

Re: Hollywood Designer - a few examples from this powerful tool!

@nbache
Well, I tried your advice, m3x, and it actually did work! I'm now running through DVI->HDMI with a nice screenmode of 1920?1080?16@50. Looks great. With the distance I have from the TV in my normal chair, I had to select a number of fonts in larger sizes for WB to be comfortably usable even on a 42" screen, but apart from that, no problems.

I haven't yet tried viewing photos (which is one of the main purposes of this setup -- sort of a modern way of the good old "bore your guests with your holiday slides"), but I expect being restricted to 16 bits instead of full truecolor will be slightly visible, so I'm still going to try the VGA alternative at some point (e.g. once your connector board is available).

Thanks for the info - ah, and here I thought DVI would be better than VGA

Guess I will have to get at VGA->HDMI adapter instead of the DVI->HDMI one, then, and try with VGA (I'm not about to toss away my nice new 7.5 metres Lindy high-end HDMI cable which I just bought for around 80 EUR).

@m3x
I see, that ties in with Torgeir's experiences. From the manual, it doesn't look like our TV supports 50 Hz refresh, at least not as a "computer format"; those are all listed as 60 Hz. It does list some "video formats", one of which is 1080p with 50 or 60 Hz refresh. So maybe it can work, I'll give it a shot. It's a Philips 42PFL7403, BTW.

But it does sound like I'd be better off using the VGA output. So how is that expansion board of yours coming along, which would provide both full audio jack array and VGA (and more) on the backplate? I'm very eager to lay my hands on one of those, even more so now

.

Interesting. Which resolution/screenmode do you use? Do you use the built-in graphics or a separate card? Which cable connection? Which screen (TV/monitor)?

I'm trying to connect my Sam to our new HD TV which has a 1920?1080p mode, but the best I can get so far is 1280?720 (or something around that). I use the DVI output, a high-quality DVI-HDMI adapter and a high-quality HDMI cable.

This is a bit confusing, the version on OS4depot.net is 3.8, yet it has 3.9 changes in the readme?

I think someone forgot to change the version of the main archive; if you download it, you will notice it has a different length from what the previous 3.8 had. I bet there's a 3.9 inside -- will unpack it in a moment ...

Seems it is not possible to use the scroll feature in the history dropdown; if I click on either the scrollbar gutter or the arrows, it reacts just like if I click on the main list -- it closes

Reproduction of course requires a history list longer than the number of lines displayed in the dropdown, but otherwise, can anyone else confirm?

Now I need your help as I can't try OWB myself.

1 - Check if the links on the "JoJo" menu are centered to the table

Yes, the links in the left cell are centered within that cell. Not centered on the screen (the full About window), but I guess this is as you intended.

Quote:

2 - Try to select text (I disable selection via Javascript but I don't know if OWB support it)

Confirmed - selections cannot be made.

Quote:

3 - Try to use it with different resolution (min. 800*600) and tell me if "JoJo" menu are correct centered to the screen without create or move the scrollobar

I am using OWB with a 1418?1046 window centered on my 1600?1200 WB screen. The About window seems to be nicely balanced around its center, horizontally. Vertically, it is almost at the top of the OWB window, occupying less than half its height, or a bit more than half after clicking "More info".

Quote:

Any other problem or suggest are welcome

It looks really nice mostly. But I would suggest you to left-align the list of "- for" items in the bottom right corner (in the drop-down section). It looks neater if all the "-" are aligned over each other. IMO, of course. You can still have the left side centered if you prefer. You may have to experiment a bit to find the best x-coordinate to line up the dashes against for the two lists to feel like they are of equal "weight".

So, Sergius, did you try this? Or did anyone else?

I'd like to know whether my description was correct and understandable.

This is slowly becoming sort of a FAQ, and if I succeeded in creating a usable answer, it might be an idea to clean it up a bit and submit it as a tutorial or something.

@sergius

You can read all about it in the Documentation/Kickstart/bootmenu.doc, but basically, you have to do somthing like this:

Create a subdirectory inside the Kickstart directory of your normal boot partition, most likely your first one (DH0:)? Call it e.g. KS-DH3, if you want to add DH3: as an alternative boot partition.

Move (not copy) your entire Kickstart directory contents from DH3: to DH0:Kickstart/KS-DH3.

Create a link where the Kickstart was on DH3, pointing to where it is now:

> cd DH3:
> makelink Kickstart DH0:Kickstart/KS-DH3 soft force

This makes sure that future updates to Kickstart modules while having booted from DH3 actually update the correct Kickstart.

Edit the kicklayout file in your DH0:Kickstart directory, add a blank line below your existing definition(s), and after that insert the definition from the kicklayout file from DH3:, which you just moved together with the modules to the KS-DH3 subdir. Then, for each of the entries in the new definition, correct the path of the file to be Kickstart/KS-DH3/<file> instead of just Kickstart/<file>. Also remember to give your inserted definition a unique name in the LABEL line.

Finally, add to your new definition a line such as:

Kickstart/KS-DH3/BootDevice

- and create the actual BootDevice "kernel module" like this (assuming your current directory is DH0:):

> echo >Kickstart/KS-DH3/BootDevice "DH3"

(these names are case sensitive, make sure you get them right).

Now, when you do a cold reboot, you should see your new definition as a new item in the boot selection menu in UBoot. Just use the cursor keys or a number key to select it instead of the default one, and the SLB should load the Kickstart modules from your subdirectory and continue to boot the OS with DH3: as SYS:.

BTW, you can delete the kicklayout file from your KS-DH3 subdirectory, once you're done copying its contents to the main kicklayiout file, you won't be using it again.

Hope this works out for you, it's mostly from memory - but my memory of this procedure is quite good, I've done it lots of times

How can I post a crashlog on OS4Depot? I went to the Crashlog page but there is no button or other means to start a dialogue.

There's a "menu strip" or button row at the top, just below the banner, looking a little like a red OS 4 window tiltle bar. It contains a Submit link. At least when I view it in OWB 3.7 it does.

Like Tom already said, its just a matter of the right locale settings as it has some probs with newer locales.

Well, the "right locale settings" are of course the ones with the charset you want and need in general. It shouldn't be a GUI rendering technique in one specific application which decides those settings for the rest of the system. So hopefully Tom can find out how to support arbitrary system charsets with his font.

This is strange. I've just installed OS4.1 on a SAM and it doesn't work for me either.

AmigaAMP renders and installs an "AmigaAMPsymbols.font" in the system which is then used by the plain GUI for the control buttons.

Where is that font? I can't seem to find it, neither in my FONTS: nor in the AmigaAMP directory with subdirs.

Quote:

I've just investigated this a little more and it seems to depend on the language setting. When you select ISO8859-15 (the one with the Euro symbol) then apparently AmigaOS doesn't like the AmigaAMP font and seems to reject it. Setting the language to just "German" for example works fine.

Guess I need to find out how to make AmigaAMP's symbol font ISO8859-15 compatible then...

If it is a normal Amiga bitmap font, it should be possible to simply make a variant of it for ISO8859-15; if that is the system charset, Locale will pick up the one named <font name>/<size>_ISO-8859-15 automatically. The same of course goes for other charsets. Since I haven't been able to look closer at the font, I can't know for sure, but I would guess that in this case it would be enough to make simple copies of the font; you're not using any of the character codes above 127, are you?

Quote:

By the way, I'm currently working on the crash-at-exit (DSI error) bug. There will be an update soon. This is still the old 68k code but bugfixed so that it works properly under the new OS4.1 kernels. And you can continue using the native decoding engine from OS4-Depot of course.
