Number 2 sounds like a bug in the ram disk to me, hard links are supposed to be the same object on disk, so editing one should change both.

BTW the converse seems to be true too, editing the hard link separates the two.

Just installed and looking good.

However it still consumes vast amounts of memeory on site like facebook. Progressively using up my memory after about 7 or 8 pages. Eventually it'll take my Amiga down if I don't pay attention and restart. (256 system) Is it cacheing in memory? If so how soon till a disk based cache/ or way limiting the memory used for cache? All memory is returned on quitting the program.

WaitIO always crashes though. Removing it and it works.

Probably because there was no IO started with a SendIO.

In fact I suspect that CheckIO is returning a false positive as well as the autodocs say it's result is not valid unless the IO has been starting with a SendIO or BeginIO.

Basicaly you aren't using the IOrequest as such thus you don't need to wait for it (or even abort it?)

Just to check. When you say it crashes does it hang or grim?

from the WaitIO autodoc

Note that WaitIO() will not work on I/O requests that haven't been
used before. Only use WaitIO() with I/O requests which have been
started via SendIO() or BeginIO(). If you did not start the I/O
request with either SendIO() or BeginIO(), do not call WaitIO()
since it will hang.

View source seems to be broken here.

I just get The lines numbers down the side and afew horizontal blues lines. Anyone else see this?

BTW typing in the DHTML version of this input form seems faster than the simple text area!

I think it would be less confusing to non-programmers (like me) if developers used 2 digit decimals for their version numbers. For example 3.09 instead of 3.9. That way version 3.11 is clearly newer than version 3.02.

Yeah? What happens when he gets to 3.100 then?

Fonts.

What's happened to them? They looked great in 3.7 just upgraded to 3.10 and they are all serifed, and seem out of focus. I noticed a reference to alias tables do I need to set something up?

Re: Issues / Observatons with the new SDK 53.13

@joerg

I get a slightly different errno related problem when compiling with newlib

The following

void fatal(const char *msg, int __errno)
{
if (!__errno)
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);

if (msg)
fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s: %s\n", program_name, msg, strerror(errno));
else
fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s\n", program_name, strerror(errno));

exit(20);
}

works fine with clib2 but gives the following error with newlib

tools/tubsfind/tubsfind.c: In function 'fatal':
tools/tubsfind/tubsfind.c:21: error: called object '__errno' is not a function
tools/tubsfind/tubsfind.c:23: error: called object '__errno' is not a function

So far as I can see __errno is not being treated as a function, and not even referenced in those lines (the fprintf statements)

Re: A4 PostScript printing woes with AmiGS/AmiPDF (OS4.1)

Posted on: 2008/10/24 2:41 #2148

Home away from home

@broadblues

Playing arround slightly more I notice that the A4 and A3 documents I printed to file were displayed completely on the first render by AmiGS, even the papersize was displayed as 'letter'. If I changed the zoom however only that part which should have fitted in 'letter' size page was displayed. Very odd.

Looking at the source to my test out.ps there is aline that sets the page size to /a4

595 842 /a4 setpagesize

This occurs just after the pswrite preamble.

BTW its -dFIXEDMEDIA not -DFIXEDMEDIA ie a small -d

@Jack

I tried printing a number of documents to file of varying shapes and sizes, they all end up on letter size pages when displayed in AmiGS. The original PDFs were displayed correct size.

I can't find any parameter that alters this in the ghostscript docs. other than PAPERSIZE which seems to have no effect on pswrite, although I know does work for pdfwrite.

BTW I always use nearly GHostscript direct rather than through AmiPDF or AmiGS it seems to give more predictable results. (ther exception would be when printing one page from a large multipage pdf)

Recoverable alerts allways clear instantly on my machine, I don;t know why. The result is a kind of yellow flash.

I think they only occur for really low level crashes, so the grim reaper cant catch them.

I would be very wary of saving anything after a few of them as memeory lists and all sorts will messed up and your liable to save garbage or crash during saving.

Are any further development done on Aweb, who's working on it and what features will we see in the future?

Quite a lot has been done, we got as far as a release candidate, but the javascript libray has some issues with garbage collection that must be fixed before we can progress, working on it.

IIRC AWeb uses C:Ed as external text editor by default. This can be changed in one of the settings windows to f.e. Notepad, which does allow highlighting and copying of text. This is what I have done here.

It does, but C:ed does allow marking copy and pasting, but not, oddly, cutting.

I use dme for editing (but then I'm weird)

Why is it when I am posting - or editing a message such as this one I cant highlight-copy & paste in aweb ?

I don't know

I copied the above quote and pasted it inot the textbox.

If you can't do that then you have to select "allow dragging" in the program settings options tab.

Drag it, right amiga c it and right amiga v it to paste , as in any other app.

Quote:

eg... I can copy & paste this once its posted on the forum (how your seeing it now) but NOT in the text box when posting/editing in the first place.

If your talking about cutting ad pasting within the textarea then that's a little clumsy at the moment.

Pasting works fine, whatever text in the clipboard can be pasted to the cursor position.
Copying will copy the textarea contents in it's entirety, not what you would expect.

But you can lauch an external editor to handle softicated editing.

THe javascript quote button simply doesn't work in AWeb yet. DOM issues.

Nope, there is another way too, and you gave me the last
piece of info i needed

Put this into AWeb and you got streaming playback of MP3 files
(although it takes around 50 to 70k download of the file here
with my ADSL connection until the playback starts.
PIPE slowness and XFade, i suppose?

Type AUDIO / MPEG
Extensions mpega mp2 mp3 Action Extl. w/PIPE
Name Path-to-your:TuneNet
Arguments -stream %u >NIL:

(Can be enhanced with deamon browser nogui etc.)

You don't want to do that

You have just passed a url to Tunenet to stream, whilst telling AWeb to send it's downloaded output to a PIPE:
If you are using AWeb 3.5.08 this will promptly lockup as the pipe will simply fill up, and AWeb will wait for it to be read from.

The latest dev build of AWeb is more intelligent about that, but your still doing two downloads one for AWeb one for Tunenet. Worse you using up memeory by writing to a pipe that will never be emptied.

Since I know you got the latest build, try using the Extl NoFecth Option.

This is the new feature in AWeb that allows you pass the url over to Tunenet and cancel the AWeb fetch.

If you wanted to use the Extl w/PIPE you should use %f not %u as this will be set to the PIPE: filename. But I think Tunenet has problems with pipes, (unless that been worked on since Bean and I discussed this).

Since my upgrade to os4 final, my turboprint installation
no longr works.

When starting from the preferences program or the start icon, it fails with a requester saying "Out of memory during installation".

Additionally I can't get the snoopdos functions windows to open to setup and watch what might be failing. (GR occurs)
