Or you could use bigger image on PPaint, but then cut out a 256x192 sized brush and save that. Draw a frame for your image or something like that to make cutting easier.

@Skateman

Thanks!

Yes, or actually this has been the case for three years already. I tried to submit my first program for xmas 2017. At first the communication seemed to work and promises were made, but then it faded and it's been harder and harder to get replies, and now nothing for a long time. At one point it was explained that it got under other work, I think it was around the a.org rebuild, or so... This just seems to be too hard and I don't know if I even want them there anymore if offered... what would happen with updates etc? It's just better to look elsewhere now, even though the original idea was to support this ecosystem too and to get at least some compensation for my hard coding work.

@benny

Nope, I've given up with that now. I'll have to think other solutions at some point, but if someone really needs it, please contact me privately.

Ok, thanks. And yes, I posted it first time Jul 30th, and when it didn't appear, but someone else's news item was published after it, I tried to post it again few days later.. maybe a week ago now.

My news item submit(s) about a whole new program I released have vanished somewhere or aren't accepted here for some reason, but I still think that this would interest users at this forum. I've got good feedback with my previous programs here, so I'd like to let you guys know about this one too and would be happy to hear any comments.

RNOPublisher is an easy-to-use PDF publishing program, which has been made with Hollywood.

Features:
- Supports the most common page sizes in portrait and landscape modes
- Freely placeable text boxes, images, PDF links, and graphical objects
- PDF links can point to document pages or web links
- Supports base fonts that don't affect the file size
- Custom TTF fonts can be embedded into documents
- PDF outlines (table of contents) support
- User creatable page templates
- PDF exporting supports passwords and compression options
- Constrained mouse movement and resizing using qualifier keys
- Additional document saving and loading in its own format
- Drag & drop loading of documents, pictures, and text files

Here is an example PDF created with the program, and the program can be downloaded from OS4 Depot or Aminet. It's also available for RTG equipped classic Amigas, but needs a beefy setup.

I've been using:


But AFAIK openurl is 3rd party for OS4 and OS4 comes with URLOpen by default, but maybe it'll work with that too?

Does it work now? I noticed that my own internet radio player program also didn't get the station list from Shoutcast few days ago (it reported connection timed out), but now it does again today. Quick googling told that there were some major server changes going on recently.

Well, I've reminded them by email and forum pm's several times and once they got reminded live (at Amiga 34), and I've got some replies where they've said they're sorry for the delay and will add the program to the store, but still nothing. Same with my other program, which I'd also like to get to the store. My spoken English is worse than Finnish rally drivers talk, so not going to give a call at least :)

Thanks for telling that, I noticed that I don't get emails about private messages.. hopefully changing the "Notification Method" setting fixes that here.

About MP3 tag editors... yes, the existing tag editors are very much lacking in several ways. Many of them support only v1 tags, but not v2 tags, or if they support v2 tags, then only one version. They also support very limited amount of v2 frames and are designed to edit just the frames their programmer has decided to support. And last but not the least, many of these Amiga libraries/editors are buggy and trashing memory etc. Even standard tag editing functionalities in other operating systems are badly broken. For example, Windows 10 breaks tags if they contain frames it doesn't know.

That's why I decided to write my own MP3 ID3 tag editor. It features:

- Reads v1.0, v1.1, Enhanced (v1+), v2.2.0, v2.3.0, and v2.4.0 tags
- Can write v1.1, v2.3.0, and v2.4.0 tags, and convert between them
- Can remove all kinds of tags
- Recognises all 100+ ID3v2 frames
- Can edit and create 60+ text based ID3v2 frames
- Can attach pictures to MP3 files (multiple images with individual type&description settings), and extract them from MP3 files
- Has a "filename sniffer" to create tags from filenames
- Caches input data of saved files for quick pasting to other files
- Can copy selected frames to other files, or copy data between v1 and v2 tags

The program is already finished, but it's pending to be released at AMIStore for OS4. I already sent it to Matthew over three months ago, but it seems to take time to get anything released at AMIStore, but I'm hoping it'll happen eventually.
