I Unregister the app before closing Locale.

See my edit above.

I deleted the entry in Prefs->Notifications, changed to this:

REGAPP_Description, "Test",

It works.

REGAPP_Description, "A better way to brwose drawers",

Does not work. (null)
When open Notifications window I get the error message.
But not when just "Test"

My description is not blank:

Why do I and my 3 beta testers not get this error?

@trixie
1) I have had it both ways. It's a cosmetic issue.

2) It depends on how narrow the user has the window. Most names will show nicely, but once you get longer names they will be cut off. I use a fairly wide window so it is a possibility. Made a note.

For the people with slow startup times, are you connected to the Internet? Ethernet cable plugged in?

WEx does a check for this. It is unresponsive/slow if no cable plugged in. Lasts 10-20 seconds. Nothing I can control; that is bsdsocket.library taking that long.

I suppose it could be made an option to NOT check for internet connection.....yes?

@kas1e
1. Do you mean in the listbrowser or down below? If listbrowser, it will always be there. If down below you can toggle it off/on from menu or gadget View->Thumbnail.

2. Would love to, but listbrowser.gadget can't do single cell selection (like MUI can).

3. Window menu -> Open Workbench window


@broadblues
- Fixed Type sorting issue.
- Thank you! Support your independent programmer through donations to them.


@nubechecorre
- I would love to patch WB to open WEx when double click on a device/drawer. As is, not possible.


@xenic
- Never heard of anyone testing the way you do. I will see if I can do a retry count as you mentioned.
- I use my own images drawer because mason made me several new images that aren't in the public release yet (might be, not sure). So if they weren't current, no images.


@Tuxedo
- Could you email me some images, say 5, that have Exif thumbs? I will see what I can do.


@All
Keep checking the menu: Project->Check latest version
for updates. I will post them regularly. Check the Change Log for details.

Thanks guys for trying WEx out. I put a lot of time into.

I am making note of your ideas and issues and will work on them ASAP.

The auto window save position was there originally, but changed it to SnapShot and/or set accordingly in Prefs.

The reason the prefs file is saved so many times is to catch listbrowser column resizing, resizing of the panes (no signal from ReAction when do that), etc. It will be improved over time.

It is not multi-threaded....yet.

It is weird that myself and my 3 beta testers all say it is very fast at opening and reading drawers, but then other people say it is slow.

Scanning each file with datatypes as the drawer is scanned is both a positive and negative. It slows things down, but you get all the stats for your images/mp3s/whatever all at once.

This is the first release, bugs/issues were expected. Keep the ideas coming.

urlopen did the trick. Thanks

How do you make a web link in an AmigaGuide?

@{"My Web Site" SYSTEM "OpenURL http://www.mysite.com"}

@{"My Web Site" LINK "http://www.mysite.com"}

Neither one works.

I am Mark Ritter.

Workbench Explorer (WEx) is in final beta testing. It will be released soon....if I can stop myself from adding new features.

Amiga On The Lake has offered to sell it as a digital download. I will probably not sell it, but still make it a download from their site.

A good file browser is something the Amiga has been lacking.

Looks like 1.1 it is.

It makes sense to me.

Libraries and devices seem to need to start at version 1.1, not 1.0.

LIB_IS_AT_LEAST((struct Library *)RequesterBase,53,1)

So why not programs? I have always done 1.0 as first release. But that doesn't always match it's custom libraries or locale catalogs if they start at 1.1, and increment with each new release.


Just one of those things you think of when standing at work bored......

Thanks for the script ideas. But this is in the development forum. Looking for C code.

Is there a good/preferred way to check for internet connection?

Everything I have tried, if there isn't a connection, will "lock" the system for 30 seconds while checking for NIC card and such. Not good.

WBRun is good for about 80% of what I tested. IWorkbench->OpenWorkbenchObject() is what I am going with.

So frustrating when one thing works perfectly, but the next does not or looks like it did and fools you.

Thanks again, Andy.

LiveForIt, I use WBRun for exactly the reason you said. Works great.

Sorry for my lack of code example. I was posting from work.


EDIT:

Actually, WBRun does do what I need.

I am trying to execute a program with SystemTags() but I am getting mixed results. Sometimes I need an output window opened, other times not. Sometimes it will have command line args, other times not. And has to run asynch, but can't use SYS_Asynch,TRUE, tag.

If I can specify my own window location/size/title would be a plus.

The command line args are the biggest problem. WBRun works great when none.

Simple examples:
C:List RAM:
Needs an output window opened. User has to close it. Run asynch.

SYS:Utilities/Notepad
No output needed. Run asynch.

SYS:Utilities/Notepad textfile.txt
No output needed. Run asynch.

REXX:MyScript.rexx (args possible)
Output window depends on script. Run asynch.

I totally see my poorly asked question. I still had HTML color codes on the brain.

Anyway, I made a little function to make things easier for myself.

0xFFFFFFFF is not ARGB?

It's not the same as html/web based colors?

#FFFFFF = 0x00FFFFFF ?
