Re: AmigaAMP @ 4.1

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.

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?

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.

Cool, looking forward to that.

Yes I've noticed the same and I think it has been this way for some time. It's as though the page will go back/forward for the press of the mouse button and then again when the button is released. Hence you get this two page at a time movement.

Yep, that's right. Thanks for the confirmation. Reported as issue no. 63.

I seem to get a doubling effect when using mouse buttons 4/5 for going backwards/forwards. I haven't seen it in earlier versions than 3.5, I believe, but I don't always remember to use those buttons, so it might have been there for a while.

By doubling effect I mean that one click on the mouse button (4 or 5) sends the browser two pages backwards or forwards (if possible) instead of just one.

Anybody else see that?

no, they are from plain OS3.9 installation, even before Boing Bags, it was:

I think they are in the rom update of OS3.9

edit,
I have found out that having 2 more shortcuts on the windows menu, was a feature of the italian localization on os3.9, in fact a plain english installation didn't had those 2 shortcuts.
seems now that os4.0 was developed on an english localized machine and so the shortcuts are missing :((
hope some one will be able to create a patch.

The shortcuts are not in a ROM (and were not in the ROM Update), they are in a catalog, or - for the builtin English version - in the program or library in question, in this case workbench.library.

Translators should not add extra menu shortcuts to OS catalogs, and should always keep the shortcut keys unchanged from the English version. This is because when you are used to the shortcut keys, and you use them on another machine, e.g. at a user group or whatever, or if someone uses your machine and changes the language, you should still be sure to invoke the menu function you expect with your well-known shortcut. not something quite different and possibly more dangerous. And in the cases where new shortcut keys are added, we all too often see keys being duplicated, because the translator who adds them hasn't checked all the menus and submenus for that key being in use already.

I know that this adding of extra keys in various translations, and "translating" other keys, was "in vogue" back in 3.5/3.9 times, but it is a really bad idea for the above mentioned reasone, and we should try to avoid it today.

So better get used to the original keys (which I hope are the ones used in the Italian OS4 translation today).

BTW, RA + . is the shortcut for Window->Clean up by->Column; RA + T is unused. The two functions you mention do not have any standard shortcuts.

Best regards,

Niels
(Danish ATO, translator of OS4 -- and 3.9 and 3.5)

P.S. If you really want to invoke shortcutless WB menu items with a keypress, it can still be done: FKey in connection with an ARexx script addressing Workbench to invoke the menu item.

Only Amiga ...

So you do have a CD writer? I thought that the reason you couldn't use your ISO distribution of Hollywood was that you didn't have a writer (couldn't imagine any other reason, TBH).

But anyway, why not just burn that ISO to a CD-R and install from that? That's the way it is intended to be used.

Quote:

I'm using AOS4 pre-release 4.

This is probably going to give you problems sooner or later. I'm not sure if Hollywood for OS 4 doesn't require at least the final version, but if at any point you want to use the SDK for anything (once it becomes available), it will most likely require at least 4.0 final plus July update, and probably be intended for 4.1.

Why haven't you upgraded at least to 4.0 Final plus July? That might be behind other problems of yours as well (diskimage.device crashing etc.) -- not saying it is, but it might be, and it's hard to help with such issues if you're running an outdated OS which the rest of us aren't.

My env var says:

Note the equals sign, it works fine for me with it, so I assume it is optional.

Of course it has the real IP address of my print server instead of the "<ip address>" bit.

Seems you're right. Maybe it hasn't been finished for the (changed) UBoot for Sams. It does exist in 4.1 for A1s, though.

But it should still be possible to make it work through UBoot's command line, as advised by the next posters.

I can't seem to be able to use any keyboard shortcuts using the right "A" (Windows) key.

I have tried with two (USB pc) keyboards.

Help?

Thank you

Are you sure you are really referring to the right Windows key, not the Windows Menu key? Some PC keyboards only have a left Windows key and a (right) menu key. In order to use that menu key as the right Amiga key, you can go into the UBoot prefs and set a checkmark at the bottom right corner of the fourth (last) tab page.

Thanks, yes, that fixed it.

Unlike OWB Blastoise OWB Doduo doesn't have complete support for cookies yet. I enabled the libcurl cookie support as replacement to get persistent cookies in the AmigaOS 4.x port of OWB Doduo at all, but it doesn't work without problems that way.

Understood. Usually it seems to be working okay, though, but at least now I know where to find the "hammer" if needed in the future.

Using tabs instead of multiple windows would be quite easy, but supporting both isn't.

Do you mean that it would be possible to have e.g. a tooltype to select whether you want all pages as tabs or all pages in separate windows?

Or can there only be one of the two solutions in the code?

Best regards,

Niels

P.S. Personally, If I had to make a binding choice, I would prefer tabs. I can always start another instance of OWB if I really need a separate window.
