Re: Always goes to UBoot prefs
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away


@Skov

Right, that would be the bootdelay which is apparently set to 20 in your UBoot. You can just do a "setenv bootdelay 1" followed by a "saveenv" at the UBoot prompt, or you can mess about with prefs or menus if you prefer.

I guess you could also set it to 0 so you don't see the bootmenu at all, but I'd suggest keeping it at 1, as it is much easier if some day you should get the idea of creating another Kickstart configuration.

Mine is set to 3 (as is my menuboot_delay). But then I do have 8 choices in my bootmenu ...

Best regards,

Succes!!! Thanks, Thomas!

Now, I have 20 seconds delay before OS4 boot unless I press enter. Can I lower that as well?


I assume you didn't set the menuboot_delay variable to 20.

There is another "delay" variable, but I don't remember the exact name.

You might want to run the nvgetvar command in a shell (once you're booted, of course) and redirect its output to a file, then post the contents here.

nvgetvar with no argument lists all your defined UBoot variables with their values.

It might be easier to help if wee see the whole set.

What I was going to do, was this:

When a remote browser with a local path set is opened, it checks if there is a local browser to the left of it. If there is, and it is currently just listing volumes, it changes the directory of it to the set local directory. This covers the case where you run PFTP and connect to a server.

I will also include a checkbox in the server window to open a local browser next to the remote browser you're about to open, if there isn't one already there.

Yeah, that all sounds cool and will certainly cover my needs.

It looks like the only situation not covered out of the ones I was imagining above is where you do have a local browser to the left of the remote one you are connecting with, but set to a different path than the one defined for that remote server. That's where it would be necessary to have a setting to determine whether it should change from its currently loaded path automatically, or it should prompt you first.

But this situation will not be the usual one, so I can understand it if you don't find it worth the effort to include support for it.

The rest I'm looking forward to checking out some time soon

Niels

[saving the local directory for each connection]

Thats tricky also, since local browsers aren't necessarily associated with remote browsers. I think i might have a way around that, though.

If I understand you correctly, the problem is not to add a field for an optional local path specification in the FTP servers window (and the file where the server details are saved), but rather to know when to set a local browser to a specific local path based on which remote site is being loaded in another (conceptually totally unrelated) browser. Right?

Well, how about waiting until the moment where a relation between a remote and a local browser is actually established, either by drag and drop, or by putting them next to each other, so the arrow comes up (or would come up if the local browser was displaying a real path and not the default volume listing). Then, if a local path was defined in that remote server's details, either automatically load that directory in the local browser before starting the transfer, or prompt the user for whether to change to the predefined local directory or stay in the one already loaded. The choice between those two behaviours should of course also be an option selectable in the FTP server definition.

Niels

Re: pftp no longer alpha!

Well, I'm with Orgin on this; I almost never open separate screens, and have tons of windows open on WB, using the DepthMenu to find my way around them if necessary. And this is one of the two things that is currently keeping me from using PFTP as my main FTP client. You *really* should add the possibility to open the windows on WB. If I want them there, I want them there regardless of whether they are "managed", that will be behaviour I can live with (or even find useful) on WB as well as on a separate screen.

(The other thing? I want to be able to save the local directory for each connection, e.g. I always download files from site x in a specific path, and from site y in a different one. ATC does it.)

Thanks -- wow, three to choose from, no less

I love them all, but I have gone with the first one; Santa's Little Helper, that's so me

Besides, as you say, I lost my beard in the others, and that's no good during the cold winter weather; it gets chilly around the chin, you know. (Not to mention having to endure the outrageous substances you have to grease those moustaches with to make them stay that shape )

Re: OS4 and USB!

@VooDoo

You might want to start by switching your error and warning logging back on, so you actually see any errors in the log instead of only trivial info messages.

You do this in Prefs/USB.

Best regards,

Niels

P.S. In fact, I guess it is kind of illogical that you are able to set it like this at all. It should probably be strictly incremental, so errors are always shown, warnings additionally if selected, and infos again additionally to the other two if selected.

Basically, if a program adds an assign there's usually a good reason for it...
To be honest, I couldn't remember If I had added the assign to user-startup, or wether Turbocalc had done it during installation, and I didn't fancy re-installing Turbocalc just to find out.

Heh -- that's what the install log is for

I checked all my old install logs from (backups of) my TC installations back from 3.5 and up, and none of them mention setting up an assign. I can also see that I didn't do it myself. I *think* I may have included the Turbocalc directory in the Path myself to make it work back in my Classic days. On OS4 I haven't done that yet, which also results in the projects not being startable by themselves, I have to start TC and load them in there.

But the correct solution (or at least the one more commonly used) would be to have an assign to Turbocalc's directory, and then have the project icons contain "Turbocalc:Turbocalc" as default tool. I don't remember if there is a way to force TC to write that into icons it creates. Maybe it obeys a def_turbocalc icon or something?

This is a shot in the dark but would an alias have an effect here?

Only if Turbocalc is started from Shell. Aliases are a Shell only thing (and usually they are defined in the Shell-Startup).

This is about WB start, with project icons containing only "Turbocalc" as default tool.

It seems to save too large an area? I.e. more than was marked with the rectangle. (I assume it is correct to presss the 'S' key to save the crop?)

Oh, and when you cancel the load requester after saving (when you don't want to load another picture), it says the selected file is not a picture instead of just quitting.

Otherwise also a nice tool

Nice tool! And cute name too

It can definitely also come in handy for me in some situations.

Suggestions for future versions:

Make it possible to see the scaled picture rendered before saving it; I know, it causes an extra user interaction in the "flow", so it should be an option.

Make it possible to select a different target resolution from the one of the screen.

Re: Icon 'Wunschkonzert'

@Mason
I've got one: Cloanto's DirDiff (it's on Aminet if you don't already have it).

A real oldie, but one of the sort that gets almost daily usage here, and still works just fine also under OS4.

Its icon -- in the AmigaOS2 style -- does tend to stick out like a sore thumb among all your nice modern ones in my AmiDock, though

Replace the assign commands in the user-startup with AssignPrefs.

That will have a much more significant saving than the resident option.

Or even simpler: Take a look at the FROM option of the Assign command. In fact, someone should probably rewrite AssignPrefs (or make a similar GUI frontend) to produce the sort of file this option expects -- and which is also created by the complementary TO option.

@sg2

Hmm ... I'm not sure, of course, but you may be reading more "tone" into agafaster's post than I saw.

He sums up what we told him, i.e. it won't work, basically, accepts the state of things ("fair play"), and thanks us for giving him the answers to his questions. Well, that's how I read it, at least.

Anyway, I for one am happy that you did make the effort with the LSI driver; it has been very useful for me, and will continue to be so. I can only recommend to agafaster to get one of the LSI-equipped and supported cards; they're really not that expensive.

And thanks to you and Ferry for the info about fxScan; I'll have to dig it out again and try once more. It's been a while, so it may have been something in the OS that has been changed since.

Niels

I'm pretty sure there's no chance in hell that Adaptec cards will work. They use their own controller chips, the OS4 driver only supports the LSI53C8** line of chips. Someone would need to write/port (an)other driver(s) for the Adaptecs.

At least that's how I understood things.
