@broadblues

I just replicated your problem, it happens with compositing off, and when you push the aweb window off the screen. I had noticed an issue with scrolling or rendering in AWebs window, when the window was pushed off screen but had never tried it with compositing off, it's quite dramatic!

I'll try to find time to look into that....

AWeb seems to function normally as long as I just browse the internet. But strange things happen if I move the main AWeb window with my mouse. If I move it down towards the bottom of the screen and release the mouse button, I get a light grey or white Workbench screen. One time I got a light show where the screen was changing colours (entire screen at a time). Don't remember the sequence but it was yellow and it was green. While this is happening, the mouse pinter is a white square shaped blob.

Ouch. Haven't seen anything like that here. Nor has anyone on the aweb-dev list mentioned it.
There are some changes to get arround corruption etc with compositing on.

Do you have compositing on or off? I'm guessing off because AWeb is almost unusable here with compositing on untill I fixed it.

Re: What is needed for speedup Amicygnix ???

On my A1 XE the font change doesn't really seem to make a difference. But then, I didn't think it was all that slow anyway.

I find it interesting that some say that is to slow, and others seem not unhappy with AmiCygnix spped wise.

Is this a matter of configuration? Expectation? The uses to which people are putting it?

My personal need was to use amicygnix an a Xserver to connect to from my linux box, so I could run certain linux apps, and wine apps faster than via Xvnc. But AmiCygnix fails dismally here (sorry to be blunt). If I connect to my linux x86 server from my AmigaOne using X under DebianPPC it is much faster than via XVnc but connecting to AmiCyngix is much slower.

Ofcourse I can just run TwinVNC under amigaos and not worry about this, but I wonder if some people are finding local apps run at an acceptable speed, perhaps it some kind of network efficiency issue? Just wondering if there is something I could tweak that might improve that aspect.

Re: TuneNet Testing (V86.66)

@MichaelMerkel

Virtually all my mp3 are encoded with both id3v1 and id3v2 by lame, and all show track details properly. But not till the track itself is played.

Isn't cover art generally external to the file? If you want cover art you could try jack's AMuse front end which gets cover art via last.fm it works pretty well for me.

But I'm not sure TuneNet or the MP3 plugin is reading the ID3 tag correctly because many of the songs on my hard drive show up with "local file" instead of the artist name and the file path instead of the album even though these fields are populated in the ID3 tag.

I've seen that, As far as I can tell TuneNet only reads the ID3 version 2 tag and ignores the version 1 tag.

I have AWeb APL Lite 3.5.09 (May 28 2007) OS4.0 PPC. I will check and see if a newer version works better with TuneNet V0.86.64.

Try this one, you wont find a more upto date version

http://webplus.broad.ology.org.uk/aweb/aweb_3509_os41_20090529.lha

(anyone else tempted to download this, feel free, but it's unofficial and <b>requires</b> OS4.1)

I just browsed with AWeb and tunenet listening to internet radio for about 40mins with no lockups.

I don't get freezes here (although a little while since I listen to internet radio, so a problem could have popped up since) which version of AWeb? What hardware?

Have you tried the unoficial build (of AWeb) on my website?

Re: Develop (with) shared objects

@corto

You don't need -use-dynld if compiling a shared object with -shared it's implied bt the -shared option, but yes you are right to add any dependent libraries to the link line.

Another thing to note:

If you are using shared objects as plugins rather than as libraries, then they may require to link against the main executable. In thie case you need to add -W,--export-dynamic to the main executable link command. (or just --export-dynamic if you are calling ld directly)

you will use .so only if you add -use-dynld otherwise the linker will use .a

I'm using the .a I know this for certain. (it's explictly referenced on the linker command line) What I wasn't sure about is which includes I was using. Haven't had time to check yet.

Quote:

BTW it is sure that if you mix .so that are linked statically with .a, and same .a library in .so format you will get a crash for sure.
The correct way is create shared libraries that are linked with other .so libraries instead of .a

Sorry I didn't get waht mean there, can you rephrase?

Hmmm I have both sets of includes too.

I have a libfreetype.so dates 2008 and a libfreetype.a dated 2006.

I'm totally unsure as to which version I'm using in blender, but if I enable freetype fints I get acrash on exit, I wonder if I have a similar mismatch to you? Have to put that on my things to check list.

So except the strange freetype2 inclue directory, it shoud be good.

Why do you consider it strange? In my sdk most include are in sdk:local/common

having said that the slight difference in path between the lib and include directories, does seem to make calling ./configure harder. I always seem to need to fix config.status by hand.

I never used to get any crashes with Tunenet, but now am getting occasional crashes, most usually on or just before completing playing an mp3.

Most times this has been with songs launched through AMuse.

To save orgin interupting his holiday ....

The standard listerbroswer behaviour requires you to press shift to multi select. With persistant select you can multi select by repeatedly clicking on different entries (as in DOpus4).

@orgin

I noticed a slight oddity in the prefs whilst checking this.

If you change the persiatant select option, then press test, try it out, then press cancel. The change persists, with test (as opposed to use) I would expect it to revert to the previous state on cancel. A very minor issue, though.

Re: Who is using the latest revision of Imagine for OS4.x?

@Slayer

I have Imagine 4.0 which I bought on an Aminet CD. I really liked it and used it for anumber of things. I always wanted, but could never afford, to buy Imagine 5.0.

Imagine 4.0 works okay on my A1 with only a couple of minor quirks. It's not that fast though. A certain other program I'm working leaves it standing.... I still tend to prefer the Imagine interface over blendrs though, and range and complexity of imagine procedural textures is well ahead of blenders.

Just looked at the site for the first time in ages, there is a little bit of info on the faq pages. It refers to a standalone PPC renderer and gives some benchmarks comparison with the 68k version. Doesn't specify much in terms of hardware or OS though. It does give info on a mailing list on the same FAQ.

@orgin

I'm getting some anomalous behaviour from FilerCX WRT to double clicking on the workbench.

When I first boot often double clicking doesn't work. To get it to work I have to either bring up Exchage (or any commodity such as Srec or Sgrab) via it's hotkey or, select a few icons via the tab key, then deselect and double afetr that. Once a filer has opened double click always works,

Happens after a soft or hard boot, I'd gestimate 70% of the time

Anyone else see this?

Yes.

That's okay then

Just checking incase it was an oversight....

You need to be aware in that case, though, that you can not set the program stack from the icon when shell is selected, and it will use the default stack size / or the value set by the stack cookie / other stack upgrading tecnique. In any event it doesn't seem to be safe to reply on the user to set the stack intelligently....

@ChrisH

I notice the filer icon is set to run from the shell. Setting the stack in the icon has no effect in this case. Whether that's a bug in the icon handling or an undocumented behaviour I'm not sure.
If you default stack is alow as 16k you should increase it, not just filer will be unstable with that little stack. PPC programs need more than 68k and the "default default" should be higher IMHO.

@orgin

Is there a reason for the icon being set from shell?

@salas00

You need a \0 in that stack cookie ... ie

static const char USED stack[] = "\0$STACK: 81920";
